Chapter 7 – Nikki

That night, after James walked me home, I had to go to work. I didn’t want to. I wanted to lie in bed and sulk, to feel sorry for myself for once again fucking things up. James had been willing to talk things out with me. He made it pretty clear that he was still interested in me, but I had to go fuck it up again. I’d told him the truth. I missed James but felt I didn’t deserve him. That’s what broke my heart the most. So I went to work with all these negative thoughts racing through my mind.

Alone in the dispatch center at about two o’clock in the morning, I got a serious call. A group of five males were found nearly beaten to death. The woman on the phone was the girlfriend of one of the guys and said she wasn’t comfortable with calling “911” because she thought one of the guys might have had a warrant out for his arrest and she hoped I could get them to the hospital without too many problems. Her boyfriend could pay. He had a lot of money. I made no promises but sent an ambulance to her location.

The fact that she thought calling Swift Fleet was going to get her boyfriend out of an arrest was pretty funny. One of the things we have to do, by law, is call the cops whenever there’s a violent crime. This was definitely a violent crime considering one of the responders called back to tell me I needed to add the following to my nightly report. Two males were found with disfigured faces and what appeared to be crushed cheek bones and several missing teeth. One male had both arms and both legs broken. One male was left with serious internal bleeding from what appeared to be a metal pole shoved up his ass. One male had the back of his head smashed in. All were in serious condition but none of the injuries seemed to be life threatening.

As I took down the notes, a shudder ran through my body.

How fucking violent are we humans able to get?

The answer seemed to come with my next call. I hit the button on my console to answer the insistent beeping of an incoming call and said my call opening.

“Swift Fleet response, what’s the nature of your emergency?”

Silence.

Not again.

“Swift Fleet,” I said again.

The whistling of Ring around the Rosy flowed through both ears in my headset. Chills ran down my legs and up my arms. My stomach growled as that uneasy feeling played at the pit of my belly. The “we all fall down” part was drawn out slowly and I felt claws rake at my insides and my hands began to tremble.

“Hello,” I said. “Why are you doing this to me?”

“Because I l…l…like you,” the caller said.

“If you like me, then leave me alone. You know these calls are recorded, right? The cops will hear this message?”

“G…good. I wa…want to t…tell you my n…n…name,” the caller said.
