Chapter 36

Chapter: 36

I walk in and everyone is watching the news and is looking focused.

'Whats going on?' I ask sitting next to Jen. Her dad answers 'There's been another murder, they are going to tell us details after the commercials, but we think it's the same' Howard says.

We wait a few minutes watching ads and then the news anchor comes on.

'As we mentioned earlier in the program, we have confirmation that another murder has taken place this time in Summerset, a suburb of Los Angles. The bodies were found at the home of James and Dawn Harlow both 26 years old. Dawn Harlow, who we believe was 6 months pregnant was the first body found, in the kitchen of the home with multiple stab wounds, the next body was found in living room of home, one outside by the pool and the last in the front yard. The victims are Heather Mills 24, Trevor Gold, 32 and Kevin Schilling 31. They were all stabbed and looked to be tortured.

The words "Helter Skelter" was written on the living room in blood , the word " PIG" was written several different places and on the front door the words 'RISE' was smeared. We have every reason to believe that these crimes are connected and the LAPD has refused to comment. We urge everyone to take precautions and stay in groups of three or more when going out. Please keep you doors locked and call in with any information you might have regarding these terrible crimes.'

I sat there is shock not knowing what to say, it was all happening again. The crime scene was exactly the same down to the victims descriptions. I couldn't stop thinking about this how the timing of this happening again, just as the trial is going on. It's weird. I decide to call my dad and see what he has to say so, I dial Willy's number it rings until Willy answers.

W: Hello?

J: Hey, Uncle Willy It's Jo

W: Hey, Jo-Jo how are you doing? Hanging in there?

J: Yeah thanks, you?

W: We're doing okay here, your mom is still at work, you wanna talk to your pops?

J: Yeah, thanks

D: Hi honey, how are you?

J: I'm fine, did you see the news?

D: I did and I just got off the phone with my old supervisor at the LAPD and Willy and I are going to be reinstated as detectives to help out everyone. They need all the manpower they can get, but I can't go into details

J: Well that's good, they could use your eye. Is there anything you want me to do?

D: Yeah, I want you too keep you ear to the ground at school and see what people are saying and let me know, I think there is more than meets the eye with this one

J: I agree, I think its someone who knows the case cause the details are pretty damn close. There's one more thing a girl at school named Darcy Hart went to church at Church of God with the couple who was killed the girl was a soap opera star. Her dad works at the church and Katie Howards dad is the minster there. It might be something to look into.

D: Thanks, kid. Thats exactly what kind of thing I need you to be listening for

J: No problem, say hi to mom for me and give her a kiss and you and Uncle Willy stay safe okay?

D: I will All My Love, Jo

J: All My Love, dad

We hang up and I feel a little better about things now that my dad was going back to the LAPD. I grab an apple from the bowl and I head upstairs. I grab some pajamas and I walk into the bathroom, I turn on the water and I get undressed. I shower, shave, and wash my hair and then get out. I pull my towel around me and I brush my hair. I braid it and then change into my satin pajama set. I read a little before bed for about hour and then I turn off the light and fall asleep.
