Chapter 10

These are all clear,” said Sean, as he slid the last drawer back into place.

“The cupboards are as well. Get ready for some serious stench. It’s garbage pail time,” warned Elissa, as she crinkled up her nose and lifted the lid.

“Damn,” replied Sean, as he looked down at the full garbage bag. He began removing each bit of trash, as the bile rose up the back of his throat. “Help me out, Elissa. Let’s get this over with before I add my stomach contents to this shit.”

Sean wanted nothing more than to close that lid down over the garbage. They still had a few more places to look in the kitchen, so he’d have to endure the stench for a while longer. The tile on the floor was all intact, and none of the walls looked suspicious. He tipped the stove and pulled out the dishwasher so Elissa could look under and behind them. Nothing.

“We’re going to have to check out the refrigerator,” said Elissa, as she opened up the top door. “At least nothing will smell in the freezer, so let’s start here.”

“Take out each item and set it on the counter.” Sean stood there, looking over the top of her head.

Elissa removed each bag of vegetables and carefully inspected the packages. “The meats have all been divided up into small portions and vacuum-sealed.”

“Why not just buy smaller portions?” Sean was having a hard time controlling his irritation. So far their search of this house wasn’t going to help save Brian, at all.

“I know that all this is getting to you, Sean, but try and stay focused.” Elissa began lifting each vacuum-sealed bag, slowly turning them over in her hands.

“Elissa, I really don’t think we need to take all this time inspecting a bunch of meat—” She cut him off as she lifted a two pound package of ground round. “So all of these meats have been divided up and resealed, except this one. Look. The original wrapping has been opened, and then just refolded underneath the styrofoam. The meat is all freezer burned.”

“So, they let it sit in there for years. Let’s go through the fridge now.” Sean began to lift the items off the counter and place them back in the freezer. Looking at this food, and realizing that they couldn’t even bother to give their child one little morsel of it, was boiling his insides.

“Stop it! Something’s clearly wrong here. This meat has been molded over the top of something. See the finger prints where someone has pushed around the base of the hamburger? It almost looks like the top of a pie crust.”

“Let me guess. We’re going to thaw it out.” Sean rolled his eyes.

“Turn the hot water on.” As he turned around to turn on the hot water, there was a tapping sound on window. He quickly spun around to see Ralph standing there. Sean rushed over to the window. He unlocked it and slid it open an inch.

“Get out of the house. Shirley’s on her way,” Ralph whispered, before turning to run back through the tall grass.
