luke

i held on sydney as she got down on her knees, crying.

sha has never broke down ever since the time when we were 18.

my phone rang and mr. maxx was calling. he was our lawyer who handled the case a long time ago.

"hello?"

"mr. hemmings, have you heard the news?" he asked.

"yes. i can see it in the television right now. how did parrish escape?" i asked, trying to calm myself down.

i need to, for her.

"the police called me a while ago, informing me about it, they said he killed two police officers who were escorting him to the restroom with only a knife, they're still finding out how and where he got the knife from. he is completely insane mr. hemmings, and the police are doing everything to catch him." he said.

"make sure they do." i said.

"i will mr. hemmings. i pray that your family will be safe."

"thank you mr. maxx." i said and ended the call.

i got back to sydney who was still crying. i cupped her face and i looked into her eyes.

"luke. luke! he's... he got out. he fucking got out!" she cried.

tears were coming out of her eyes so fast. it has been a long time since the last time she lost her sanity because of what happened to us 8 years ago.

i hugged her tight.

"baby it's alright.. shh.." i kept telling her. i rubbed her back for how many times until she calmed down.

"l-luke. what if he comes back for us?" she asked.

"baby, dont say that. i promise you, he will never come to us." i said.

i hope he won't.

i hope the hell we've been through won't come back and haunt us again.
