Chapter Twenty-One

Josh

I jolted awake when the sound of a siren shrieked outside. The fog running through my brain made it all seem as if the loud shrill initiated from the interior of my apartment, maybe even inside my head. I looked around. I was on the sofa, again. It was still dark out, and an empty bottle of scotch stood next to another half-full one in front of me on the coffee table. I picked up my phone to see what time it was, but only saw blurry, fuzzy white lines across the black screen. I rubbed my eyes a bit and chanced another look; two-thirty in the morning. I yawned then strolled into the bathroom. My eyes fell on the bed as I passed. The sheets were still rumpled from a few mornings before, left that way after Chelle had hurried away from me without an explanation. I hadn’t used the bed since.

When I finished with the toilet, I figured I might as well take a shower. There was no way I’d be going back to sleep. Not with all the horror going on in my brain. A murder seen by a little girl so horrific she’d somehow wiped it from her memories. Another murder, one that could have been prevented by two little words. Two fucking little words.

Don’t go.

I clutched at the pain in my stomach then hurried back to the toilet and puked up a shitload of whiskey that had settled in my gut, retching until dry heaves indicated there was nothing left inside of me. Nothing except the vision of all the blood dripping from the monster’s lips as he threw Emily onto the ground like she was nothing more than an old rag doll. Her neck slashed across the throat to hide how he’d really killed her.

I wasn’t skittish when it came to viewing dead bodies. I’d seen my share. But thinking of the possibilities that could make a child completely block out a murder got me thinking about the most horrific sight I’d ever witnessed. Maybe Chelle and I had more in common than just lust.
