Chapter Twenty Two

Development

Hours later, we were back in Sorrow’s Point. My phone was replaced with something fancier than I was used to. I didn’t bother trying to stop Will, he seemed to want to do something to make it all up to me. I still felt guilty though. If they were having financial problems, I didn’t want to add to it, and a fancy phone was an expenditure that just didn’t make sense.

We left the car in the front drive, walked up the huge stone steps and entered through the door. Will paused for a moment in front of me. I heard nothing. He walked forward and I followed Will as he headed toward the kitchen. It was a Hell of a sight. Bloody rags were all over the table. Tabby was holding a rag to Tor’s arm.

“What the Hell happened?” I asked.

“Tor was giving Lucy a bath in the bath tub. She seemed so complacent, Tor thought it would be okay. It was … until Lucy grabbed the razor,” Tabby said.

“Jesus Christ.” Will said. “Are you okay, Tor?”

She nodded. “I think I need stitches.”

I looked around. “And where’s Lucy?”

Tabby looked at me, her eyes wide. “She’s still in the bathtub.”

Will and I ran out of the kitchen towards the staircase and dashed upstairs. Will darted into Lucy’s bedroom. I followed at his heels. We got into Lucy’s bathroom. There was blood everywhere; it was spattered across the walls, in various places on the bathtub and all over Lucy herself. Where she wasn’t spattered, the blood was smeared as if Lucy had been rubbing it on her body. She was in the tub, playing with toys as if nothing was going on.

Will snatched Lucy out of the tub and I held the door open so Will could get Lucy dressed and into her bed. After we got her strapped in, I ran back into the bathroom and rummaged through cupboards until I found a clean wash cloth. I wetted it in the sink and walked back into Lucy’s room. I handed it to Will. Will got most of the blood off Lucy.

We left her alone and went back into the bathroom and cleaned up all the blood.

“Where did Lucy get the razor?” I asked after Will had closed the door to Lucy’s room. We headed downstairs.

He stopped in the middle of the staircase. “I don’t know… there shouldn’t have been a razor in her room. Tor shaves in our bathroom.”

I wobbled a little where I was perched above Will on the stairs. My balance sucks. “Strange isn’t it?”

Will nodded. “She has to be getting out of the restraints, but how I don’t know. She never leaves her bed on the tapes.”

Will finally began descending the stairs. I sighed in relief. I didn’t need to half kill myself by falling down the stairs.

“Does Lucy know where Tor keeps her razors?” I asked.

“Probably,” Will said. “Lucy used to beg to take a bath with her mommy.”

I nodded. “She could be telekinetic.”

Will stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
