Dream Catcher

Chapter 10

" We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the breaking news of an attempted murder at Block ___."

" We have our very own Emily Cowles on the scene, live, for more details. Emily? "

" Yes, Paul. Crystal clear! "

" Emily, what can you tell us? "

" Well, Paul, It's a real circus out here. This is the third such incident that has not yet been labeled by the FBI. Referring it to an unexplainable chain of events. But this particular case seems to be a clear attempted murder. The neighbors, who prefer to remain anonymous, reported an ugly feud between this problematic couple. According to an eyewitness, the husband was bloodied and fled away from the crime scene. "

" What was the attempt? "

" Luckily the ambulance got on time at the scene. The wife was found at the end of the staircase. There is speculation that she was pushed off the staircase. She has suffered a concussion. "

" Was there anyone else on the crime scene? "

" Yes, Paul. It was their 10 month old daughter. She was found in the attic. The child had a sickening symbol carved on her shoulder. Seems to be something out of a cult. "

" Is the child okay? "

" The child is being taken care of in the ______ hospital. We are getting in contact with the guardians. "

" Emily, please take us to the scene. "

" I am sorry Paul. We aren't permitted near the premises but what I can say is, there is a lot of blood inside the house. And to be fair, it's a very unusual story. "

" Indeed it is. Any update on the father? "

" Right now, the search for hunting down this man hasn't begun. The military has stepped in. There is pushback from the man's family. We aren't aware of the identity. It has yet to be disclosed. "

" So we must be on a lookout? "

" Yes, Paul. I would recommend for the citizens of the area be alert. If you speculate any such activity, please dial 811, it's a matter of the military. "

" You heard her folks. Please dial this number on the screen. This seems to be a series of high-profile cases."

" The military general has released a statement expressing his condolences to the victim's family. They have assured us that strict and just action will be taken. The public must not panic over false information and rumors. "

" This means we have a convict on the run."

" Yes. He hasn't been exposed yet due to some delay. But we will get back to you as soon as we know what we are looking for. Back to you, Paul. "

" Thanks, Emily. Stay tuned to pivot. We will keep updating you on this story, as soon as new information becomes available. We now return you to CLL news, already in progress. "

Eustace clenches his fists, looking ahead, doubtful of his decision. He takes to map the rest of the plan in his head until he springs into action.

" These little shits! They got us all."
