Splinter Way

Chapter 34

Sherrif Vikkstar was playing with the lenses when suddenly he heard someone barge through the door. It was Phil, the local crazy dad as Vikk named him.

"Hey what's going on Phil?" Vikk optimistically asked, taking off his hat and pulling out a cigarette.

"My two sons- there missing. They've been gone all day." Phil panicked, scrunching his hair up.

"Listen, I know this may be hard after what happened to Lani, but I really have other stuff to do right now, okay? Hopper alerted, receiving a message on his walkie-talkie. "Hello?"

"Hello chief. This guy found that little kids body in the woods, hanging on a tree unfortunately. Get here in the back area of Splinter Way, alright?" Chief Franco spoke through the device.

Without responding he picked up his hat, and ran out the door, leaving Phil aghast.

Vikk arrived on the scene of the crime, surprised that it really was the kid he said it was. He was hoping some fake but it wasn't. He was dead. Really dead. Suddenly he turned behind him to find Ms. Carson wailing.

"Vikk! Please tell me it's not-" she was stunned by the hanging body, nearly fainting. Vikk has to help her.

"Jesus Kim, hold on. It ok, we're gonna be okay." He said, holding her close, but she pushed away.

"That's what everyone says, Vikk. They all say I'm gonna he ok, but how would they know? There not in my shoes, they've never experienced this. I'm breaking down Vikk. And this is where it ends. He's gone. I see his body." She starting crying, falling on the floor in misery.

"It's not your fault though, ok? We'll get an autopsy and everything. Just breathe in and out." He said, holding her.

"Just get away Vikk, it's better to leave me alone." With that she walked away as the body was cut from the rope. He watched the car start and back out of the woods, fading away into the distance.
