Chapter 33

So Joan and I drove down to Tori's house to get evidence and answers.....
Turning off the ignition I came out of the car and went to the front porch.
"You sure no one's home?"
"Calm down Joan, no one's here...we're going to just get what we want and leave"

"I hope"

With that said,I turned the knob but it was locked...good thing I knew where the spare keys were kept. Under the welcome mat.
Picking the keys I struggled to put it in and unlocked the door.

"That wasn't so hard now was it?" I sighed talking to Joan who was busy with her phone..
"Who are you texting?"I asked
" uhmm...its no one" she said after hesitating for a while....I think she's really hiding something.... But that's not even what I came here for so I'm just gonna leave it for another time.

We stepped in,taking in our surroundings and started walking really quietly in the direction of Tori's room when Joan stopped in her tracks
"What is it now" I was really getting impatient now

"Don't you think we should check Sean's room?"

"Why?"
"Cause we've been in Tori's room before and found nothing but the fake diary...for all we know,everything in there might be fake too"

Well, I gotta admit she's right,how I didn't about any of that before

"Okay,off to Sean's room then"

We walked to his room and everything seemed sooo normal...well except for the camera on his bedside table

"Since when did Sean have interest for photography?" I asked lifting up the camera and examining it closely

Joan just shrugged her shoulders and asked if there was still a memory card in it,I checked and saw it.
Maybe this is gonna help us .

So we headed back to my place to check what was inside the memory card by placing it into a slot at the side of the TV.
It came on at first showing just grey and black lines indicating no signal,then suddenly a very bloody Tori is seen with her arms and legs bound on the bed with chains and a white cloth in her mouth screaming for whoever got her to stop..then a guy came in and started walking towards her...very slowly he started to touch her face tracing every detail...the look in Tori's eyes were a mixture of hate ,fear and anger...."this is what happens to people who say no to me" the guy said to her then he stood up and went to the bedside table,on it was a silver tray with a variety of needles and knives,a hammer,some nails and something that looks like an ice cream spoon of some sort.
I knew I recognised that voice somehow,somewhere but I can't seem to figure out where exactly.
Picking up one of the knives the person turned around  to face Tori and said "Now you choose,the hard way or the easy way out?"
But all Tori could do was voice out muffled screams and tears running down her cheeks
" I really don't  are which you choose I'm still going to have my way with you and even kill you in the end,hopefully. "
Tori's  screams became louder and louder and she started to struggle when the guy started taking of his clothes...dropping the knife on the floor by accident,the guy began to bend over and pick it up when I saw a glimpse of his face...it was Sean!! I quickly paused it.
"Did you see that?" I asked Joan
"Yup...come to think of it,we never really had an autopsy report on Tori to find out how she really died"
I thought about what Joan said for a while,it's true. We only worked with security cameras and suspects,I even accused my own brother...I knew I had to make things right and I have to do that right away.
"We'll go to the morgue tomorrow after school and have it done then we'd know what we have to do next....if your down that is." I told Joan
"I am"

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

"Hey"
"What do you want Nathan?"
"I just wanted to say hello and maybe walk you to class?"
I snorted
"Aren't you worried about Maddison ?"
When he didn't answer I continued
"Look, I want a drama free life and I already have enough of that to last me a lifetime, I don't need Maddison being and addition to that list"
"I just want to know if you're OK "
"I am. Thank you for asking....excuse me"
And with that all said I headed to my class not bothering to have lunch since I was already late as it is.

After school I decided to call Joan so we could head to the morgue but she was already skipping towards me.
"Why are you so happy today?"
"Nothing much ...did Nathan come speak to you?" She asked which was really weird
" Since when did ya'll start speaking to each other? Last I  checked you hated his guts"
All she did was roll her eyes and smiled
"Just answer my question "
I hesitated  for a while before telling her that he just wanted to walk me to class then she smiled even wider and said
"That's a baby step"
"Joan,I know somethings up what's going on?"
"Chill Nicole, nothing is going on, now come on let's go the pathologists are probably tired of waiting for us already " she laughed dragging me to the parking lot and into her car.

The drive to the morgue was quite quiet if you ask me....almost as if we were both scared that the tests were going to prove our assumptions either right or wrong...whichever was scary to even think about.

"Okay,we're here" Joan said tearing me out of my thoughts
Walking into the hospital,the scent of sanitizers,medication and spirits washed over my nostrils....I somehow love the way hospitals smells...
We went to the receptionist to confirm our appointment with the doctors and a nurse came to take us to a room to put on a hospital gown cover,a pair of gloves,a hair net and nose masks to put on before we entered the morgue.

"

Are you ready?" Joan asked
"Let's do this" I said telling myself to just get this over with.

And so we opened the door and saw two doctors waiting
"It's about time" one of them sighed
"We're really sorry about our tardiness "
" its alright...so which one of you girls want to open the cover?"
Joan and I both looked at each other secretly asking if the other would do the honours then Joan silently rose her hand.
"Good. You can come forward and zip it down."
Joan did as she was told and the doctors started the tests and kept examining the marks and bruises on her body
"Are we supposed to be in here when the tests are being done?"
I ask
"You can stand over there-" Doctor  two said pointing to the far end of the room
"-and watching you want to"
We quietly went there and watched how Tori's body was being torn and certain parts of her body taken to the lab for tests.

A few hours later and we'd  know what we're dealing with.

A/N: I'm really sorry for this long awaited chapter guys...and for not being dedicated to this book but I promise to put in more effort to it.
