Chapter 8

Mason was in the emergency room when Emma came in. His family was there as well, having been in town. Emma had been at the mall when he’d contacted her, and she had to wait on the police to go and get her. Mason hadn’t wanted her driving as upset as she was.

“Where is he?” Mason told her that her dad was still in surgery. “My mom? Is she okay? Did he hurt her too?”

“No. She didn’t get out of the car and called the police as soon as she saw what was happening. Then she called me. She told me to get you but not to let you drive. She’s in the waiting room.”

Emma turned, then came back to him. Mason held her while she sobbed on his chest, and then helped her sit down when her knees seemed to give out on her. Holding her on his lap, he told her what he knew and what they’d been able to find out.

“Dirk saw the car when he was roaming the streets, we guess. He was waiting on them with a bat. Lucky for your mom, your dad is a gentleman and put her in the car before he got in. Otherwise we’re not sure what would have happened.” He knew as surely as he was sitting there that Dirk would have hurt his mom as well. “He hit your dad several times, once in the back and twice in the head. He’s got several broken ribs, as well as a broken left arm. They’re not thinking there’s any permanent brain damage right now, but they have gone in to relieve the pressure from the trauma. His leg, the right one, is hurt. The knee is pretty bad, but they think that’s from him falling rather than being hit.”

“Did the police catch Dirk?” He told her by the time the police had arrived, Dirk was gone, but he’d left the bat with his prints on it. “When they find him they’ll arrest him and put him in jail for a long time. This is attempted homicide. Not to mention premeditated…he had a bat with him. It’s not going to look good for him at all.”

“I’m sorry, honey.” She asked him why. “I should have warned your dad to be more careful. I figured that Dirk would do something like this, just not so…he could have killed him over money. How could he…why? I thought he’d be on me, but not your dad. I just keep thinking about what if your mom had been out there as well.” She shivered in his arms before speaking again.

“Can you take me to see Mom? I think…I have to be with her.” Mason stood up, but didn’t put Emma down just yet. “Mason, I’m sorry you’re being brought into this. It’s not exactly a nice family that you’re going to be a part of.”

“The only person I really care about is you. I like your mom and dad a great deal, but it’s you I worry about the most.
