Daddy's Little Girl

Chapter 3

Kate left at 2:00am, I told her to go home and try to get some sleep. I'm getting ready up to go which includes getting rid of the bottles and turning back on the camera because James will be here any minute to take over. I grabbed the brush and began to sweep the floor keep myself busy, but I can't seem to get my mind off the dream I had . I just kept imagining April in a dark basement and God knows who doing what to her. The thought of that made my head hurt again.

"Hey, Chuck go on home mate you look awful" James's voice snapped me out of my trance.

"Oh, right eh yeah i will thanks. Bye" I shouted back as I left the shop briskly.

I climbed into my car and started it up. Raindrops were now beginning to fall as i started to drive home. The rain was pouring down after just 15 minutes and by 30 minutes there was lightening.

"Mommy has a secret....Chuck" that sentence repeated in my head over and over again.

"What could it mean?. Is this all in my head. I noticed for the first time April called me Chuck instead of daddy, but why?" I said to myself as if i was waiting for a response. Maybe i'm just reading to much into it, as it was only a crazy dream.

I reached my street. We lived in a small estate in the north of Ramsay, but as I pulled into my driveway there was something not right. The lights were on and the front door was wide open. I hopped out of the car and ran to the door.

"Kate, Kate where are you?" I shouted as I ran into the sitting room, but received no answer. I checked the kitchen still no sign of her. In the back of my mind i'm starting to think maybe she's left me or maybe she was kidnapped as well, my eyes watered just thinking that. I ran upstairs in terror.

"Kate...Oh God no!" I screamed when i saw her body on the floor in the same position as i saw her  yesterday morning in bed, but instead of drool coming from her mouth this time it was blood. I ran over to her, turned her on her back and checked for a pulse. It was very faint and blood was pouring from her stomach. It seemed as though she had been shot.
