Born out a killer

Part 4- strikes again

I opened the door and walked inside in an angry way. I stopped at a police officer and tapped on his shoulder. He turns around and I say, "Can I talk to you for a minute, sir."

I followed him to his office and sat down on a table right infront of him. "You're Connie Myers right? The one from the murder case?" I put my hands together and say, "Yes I am."
"Is everything alright? Did something happen again?" I showed him the reporting from on TV. "I know, he's really striking again."
"Yes, and why do you think that is? When I look around, nothing happens against it."
"We try to do our best here, alright?"
"No, no, I'm not gonna wait for him to murder someone else I love, alright. You always say you're gonna be more productive but nothing happens. People are dying and the only thing you guys care about is yourselves."
"Listen I-" The previous policeman who offered me a coffee came into the room. "Is everything alright here?" The police man that listened to me stood up and said, "here, you listen at what she has to say." He left and closed the door annoyed. The other cop sat down in front of me and asked me if everything was all right. I said everything about the situation again to him. "We really try to do our best, he's somewhere we don't know.. this guy is being really smart... I'll promise to contact you if we found anything." After a while of talking I left the building and stepped in my car. I drove away and returned home.

Before I got out of the car, I felt that something was not right. I opened my window and looked at it. I suddenly saw someone behind me. Before I could turn around he grabbed me by the arm and tried to choke me. I tried to get rid of him and tried to take the cigarette lighter from the car. Finally I succeeded and pushed the hot against his hand. He let go and I got out as fast as I could. I locked the car while he was just about to open the door. He is trapped. I quickly ran into the house with tears running down my cheeks and with my heart beating fast. I grabbed a lighter and oil. I was going to burn him alive. I rushed out of the house back to the car and looked through the window but did not see him in the car. Shit shit shit. Suddenly I heard my aunt tapping on the window. "What are you doing out there?" I dropped everything and came running to the window. "Aunt, get out of there!!! He's here!" Before my aunt could say anything I suddenly saw a knife go through her head right through the window. I screamed with tears streaming from my eyes. I slowly slumped down against the wall next to the window where my aunt's head was hanging on a knife. I sat stiffly in a crouch with sore eyes and a painful heart. Meanwhile, the police could already be heard arriving. Fortunately, we have neighbours who live nearby who heard me screaming and who called the cops.

5 days later

There i was again, at the police office. The same cop came to me and calmed me down. I grabbed a coffee and drank it. "Jezus Connie, I'm so fucking sorry.." he says to me. I look at him and say, "it's not your fault, you tried to do your best." He grabbed a paper and showed me it. "This is some evidence we've found and we tried to get some fingerprints too. I hope this is gonna help us find him." I looked confused and said, "even if you have it, he's not gonna show he's face. Just like Michael, everyone knew it was him.." he turns his head down and putted away the paper. "I know Connie. It's really not that simple.."

"Where do I stay?" He looks back and says, "I don't know, I still have to discuss that with the others. Stay here or you can go lay down on the couch." He walked out of the room and closed the door. He approached one of his colleagues and said, "Where should she stay now, she can hardly go back, he knows where she lives now." The other police said, "she will have to change town and school, that way she will be safe."
"Okay, I will tell her, if she agrees." I see him entering the room again and placing him next to me. "We suggest that you go to another municipality and live with some family there, if that's okay for you."
"What? No, I'm not gonna run away from him. I'm not leaving everything behind because he wants me to be afraid of him. I'm done with that." He looks surprised at me and says, "we can also find you a family to take care of you here in town?" I agreed with that. I was only 17, And I wasn't ready to live alone. Then he got up and left the room. I had time to rest a bit after what happened.

3 hours later a woman and a kid walked in. I woke up and sat down. Second the cop walked in and started to introduce them. "Connie, this is Grace and her son Cillian. She's gonna take care of you." He told me that they live not far away from school. They live in a big house in a cozy neighborhood. I followed the mother and child to their car and said goodbye to the loving officer. He waved back at me and I got into their car. We drove to her house, trying to live a normal life with a lovely family of 2.
