I was walking down the hospital hall, in a quite quick pace, looking for Chris room 661.
After the whole thing with nick, I immediately called 911, telling everything that happened that day begging them to bring an ambulance for Chris, as he was in a poor state
The police looked around the house for clues, I showed them the cassettes I had in my bag and Carmen's body on the garage floor, after some search the police found Vanessa's skeleton under nicks bed and 5 other dead bodies without organs that belonged to young girls
I felt so relieved, thinking right now that the girls where finally in peace after these two bastards joined hell.
My life was going back to normal, and I was so glad it did. I couldn't imagine that within 3 weeks I'll experience such a thing.
A week after Chris was still in the hospital, his face has in bandages which really pained me but I chose to think positively for once.
Today was the day that he'll get out of the hospital, so I got him a gift for a quick recovery
Eventually I reached his room. 661 it wrote on the door in bold letters. The door was opened
Inside were 4 old men in hospital gown lying on the bed. Chris was sitting at the corner, near the window, looking at the TV
I forgot to mention that we became famous all over the country! The news were repeatedly talking about us, how we discovered the killers the clues and stuff.
Within 1 week I was all over the TV, Chris too! A lot of journalists and paparazzi took pictures of him in the hospital or interview about the so called 'the snuff girls' case.
I really hope that fame will help us, financially I mean, as both Chris and I came from a not so rich family. We could finish our studies without scholarship and even buy things we couldn't imagine!
I knocked on the opened door, taking everyone's eyes off the TV "Hello?" I said quietly. Chris smile grew as he saw me "Penelope!" He exclaimed happily
I rushed to his bed hugging him tightly "I missed you so much!" I said to him
"Me too!" I broke the hug
"So ready to leave this place?" His eyes looking at me "more than ever.." his voice was husky as fuck, he probably woke a few minutes ago, which could explain his dark eye circles
"Well I got a gift, especially for you, Mr Sherlock!" I gave him his present. He quickly unfolded the wrap and gasped "wow! It's incredible! Thank you Penelope!"
I got him his favorite fairy-tale! The story that he narrated to me when we were walking in that dark hallway 'the princess and the troll' but in special edition, with silver book cover
"It even has a dedication only for you! But I'll let you read it alone!" I winked at him and let him alone at his bed walking in outside his room
I hid behind the wall just outside his room to see his reaction "hey! Old man! Read it for me! I can't read with one eye I get dizzy.." he said to the man next to him
I assume he passed the book to him "a book written by Terry Kress, I was inspired to write this book by my daughters boy-"
"Not the whole page! Just the dedication!" Chris said but the old man ignored him
"-friend as he was so ugly but my daughter loved him, love really is blind. Do you fancy a coffee? Published by.."
The voice of the TV turned on causing the old man to lose his interest on the book and focus on the TV.
Chris stayed silent. The only think I could hear was the reporter of the news
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, the case of 'the snuff girls' is on fire as it is all over the country right now. The police discovered 6 dead bodies of teen girls at the house of 21 year old boy called 'Nick King'. Nick was cooperating with the famous director 'Stefan Kolpus'. They recorded snuff films killing people in real life and then selling their organs on the black market with the movies too. Unfortunately-"
"Fuck this!" Chris voice was heard, steps following too. I knew that he'll come for me!
Just as he stepped out of the room I jumped in front of him and yelled "BOO!"
"Ahh! You scared me! Ahhaha!" He supposedly screamed "so what was your answer?" I asked
"Let's get out of here.." he said grabbing my hand
We walked on the hallway holding hand, which was so magical! Butterflies were partying in my stomach, fireworks too!
But our little romance was cut by the reporters voice as all the patients were watching the same show "we have in our hand one of the cassette of the snuff girls. We perform a quick projection so please! The images will be very disturbing! Please if you don't want to see them close your eyes and remove the children from the room"
This was the last words of the report as the familiar to me and chris beep was heard all over the hospital
"Calm, down it all over now! Vanessa is in peace" he said reassuring me
"You're right!" I shook my head, shaking those thoughts away from me "wait I forgot to give you your second gift!" I said
"Oh yeah? What is it?" He said looking at me. I rose on my tip toes to reach his lips and gave him a small peck
His eyes widened for a moment and then relaxed "is that all?" He smirked
"Yeah...?" I blushed
We stepped in the elevator "I don't think so!" His hands wrapped around my thighs, picking me up so that our faces were inches away
Our lips smashed together in a kiss full of love, finally my life is just as I wanted it to be
