Shackled And Chained But Hopeful

Part three: story untold

Rameila's POV

Phone rings
"Hello this is Officer Adam, could you please come to the station."

"Is something wrong?"

"I cannot say over the phone can you please come to the station."

"Ok, Nurse Joy is just about to take me home, so give us sometime and we will meet you there."
Phone call ends

.................................................................................

The minute I heard Officer Adam's request to come to the station I knew for sure this was it, I was meant to be locked away for my crimes against Zack. He might have found the underground bunker covered in Zack's DNA. I did clean it but am not an expert at cleaning up a crime scene or anything.

The moment we got home. We put down the bags abd turned the car around and head to the police station. When we got there we were greeted by Officer Adam he brought us into his office as usual so we could speak in private.

"So the reason why I asked you here today, was to tell you we had a break through in your sister's case."

"A break through, what do you mean?"

"We have Zack in custody?"

"You do, where here?"

"No not here, he is in the hospital."

"In the hospital why?"

"Last night a dark van without license plate drop him off, across the road. He was chained to a chair. But when we looked him over, he was in a terrible state."

"Terrible state?", ask Nurse Joy as we turned and look at each other curiously.

"Yes terrible state", Officer Adam said continuing. "Wherever he been. They did a number on him, his head was severly swollen and he seemed to be missing a few toes on his right foot. We didn't have a chance of properly looking him over due to us having to take him to be hospitalized. Anyways, just before you got here the hospital phoned and told me, he was awake. And that I could come see him. Do you both want to accompany me?"

"Sure"....I said with a bit of hesitancy in my voice.

With that said we got up and got into Officer Adam's car and we head to the hospital

Hospital
When we got there Officer Adam left us outside and in the hallways and went to his room. 20 minutes after he was back. He told us to follow him and we all took his car back to the station. We went back into the room, we were before.

"What did he say?", I asked anxiously.

"Nth. He said nth. Am afraid the case may have to be propose for a while Miss Rameila."

"Why and what did you mean by he said nth?"

"When I got into his room, he was being attended to by a doctor and a nurse . I talk to him and he wouldn't speak back. At first I thought he was being disrespectful until the doctors told me that he had no tongue. That they took it, wherever he was."

"They took his tongue?", I asked surprised, "who would take his tongue and why?"

"At this point we just don't know, it's not like he can just speak right."

"But he can write right, so a postponement is not necessary?", enquired Nurse Joy. She was anxious for me to get justice.

"The postponement is quite necessary, Zack is suffering presently from amnesia. They are unsure when he will recover from it and they are even more unsure if he will live."

"This just doesn't seem fair", I said.

"It isn't but we just have to hope for the best in this present moment. But please find comfort in knowing that if he escapes punishment for his crimes here, he won't with God. Wherever he was they really messed him up. Even his nails were pulled out and an area on his head had a smiley face branded upon his skull."

"It seems he may of hurt alot of people, Officer Adams", said Nurse Joy.

"Indeed he may have", replied Officer Adam. "Anyway you both may leave. We will keep you up to date, if and when he makes progress."

Zack's POV
Here I am laying in a hospital unaware of what I did to deserve this. I don't remember who I am, what my name was/is or why somebody would hurt me the way they did

What I do remember is the pain they inflicted. I remember my nails being pulled out, I remember my head being bashed in so hard I thought it was gonna explode. I fell asleep one moment and woke up speechless the next. They have left me here battered and broken. They should of just killed me. Lost in my thoughts I neglected to see that a doctor entered the room. He pulled is mask down and when I saw his face I started to panic.

"Oh you swear think this was over huh? Well let me tell you right now, this is just the beginning.", he said while injecting something into my drip line.

I tried to scream for help but nth came out of my mouth but mumbled groans within moments I was out cold.

Rameila's POV
He has no tongue, now am even more scared. What if who took him came back for me, I thought as we were getting into Nurse Joy's car. This was getting too scary. I think it might be time I come Clean.

"Um Nurse Joy"

"I know Ramiela it hurts but things will get better. Just pray, things will work out."

"But Nurse Joy, am trying to tell you something. "

"What?"

"I was the one who took out his fingernails."

"Rameila are you late to take your medication again, I warned you about this. Yes am a little late because we are here and I don't have any with me. Here", she said hading me two pills from a bottle in here car.

"Where did you get these?", I asked her.

"I had an extra bottle filled to keep in here for whenever we would be out too late."

"Well thanks but I am serious. I pulled out his fingernails."

"Yea right, girl who caan watch Find Nemo without crying", said Nurse Joy bursting into laughter.

"That's besides the point", I grumbled.

"Of course it is", said Nurse Joy before she continued laughing.

Oh well I tried, I thought to myself as I rest my head upon the dashboard infront of me. If the truth comes out, she will know just what the girl who can't watch Nemo without crying is capable of.

Although that person who took out his tongue must of been studying serial killing for a while now. Why didn't I think of that before. But let's be honest even if I did think of it. I wouldn't be able to get it done anyway. I just don't have the stomach for it.
