We All Become Killers Sometimes

4 am

The next morning.

I finally got Emmett to calm down and  fall asleep.

I called Michael over.

I heard a knock at my door as I layed Emmett down.

" Come in " I said and the door opened.

" Son-

" I hate you "

" But you're the only one I can leave my son with and ensure of his comfort and safety. Please watch over my son while I'm gone. " I said as I layed in my bed.

" I will " he said then left the room.

I heard little cries and looked down at Emmett.

" Shh shh baby, I'm not gone I'm right here. " I said as I picked him up and he layed on my chest.

" Daddy they're going to hurt Amara " he said.

I rubbed his back.

" No. No one's going to hurt your sister. Daddy is going for them " I said.

I've never seen Emmett like this.

" Daddy I want to show you something " he said.

" What is it? " I asked him.

" It's in our room. " he said.

I swung my legs off the bed and carried him in my arms. We got to their room and he jumped out of my arms.

I watched him as he walked over to his closet and lifted up some books. He took out a piece of paper.

He walked back to me and handed it to me.

I took it and looked at it. I only saw a symbol.

It was a snake with red eyes wrapped around a skull.

" Where have I seen this sign before? " I said as I searched the back of my mind.

Then it clicked.

" Jason " I whispered.

I grabbed Emmett and took the piece of paper with me.

I ran downstairs and drove to the warehouse where we keep our prisoners.

I placed my hand on the sensor for recognition and the door opened.

" Jason " I yelled through the entire house.

" What " he said as he pushed his arm out of the cell he was in.

" Release him. " I said to my guard.

I watched as my guard grabbed the key and opened his cell.

I walked away with my son in my arms and Jason followed me.

We were standing outside the warehouse.

" You look good " I said as I looked at his muscles and the weight he put on.

" You feed us three times a day and give us access to a gym. " he said and I nod.

" This your son? " he asked and I nod.

" I have twins. A girl and a boy. But my daughter along with my woman and the other two kids have been kidnap " I said.

" What do you want from me? " he asked.

I reached into my pocket then handed him the paper.

I watched as the horror spread across his face when see saw the symbol.
