The Future of Dawsey

Chapter 49 (The Metal Room/Casey's Car)

Chapter 48 Part 1 (The Metal Room)

Robert lunged forward quickly towards Trini and then leaned back balancing himself on the balls of his feet. Then he started laughing. "Wow the look on both your faces when I did that was priceless. Man you girls are easy to scare." Robert said chuckling. He put his hands on his knees and pushed off of them standing up from the ground. "Relax. I'm not gonna hurt you...at least not right now. I do have plans though." He said reaching down and running his hands through Dawson's short brown hair. She grimaced and pulled away at his touch. Robert chuckled after she pulled away. Then he walked over to the table where he had put out all of his items. He reached into his bag and took out one more item. A bottle of hair dye. Dawson raised her eyebrow and looked over at Trini confused at the sight of the hair dye. He picked up the ink in one hand and the hair dye in the other weighing them both in his hands his lips pursed like the bill of a duck as he thought. "Hmmm. Hair dye or ink? Hair dye or...ink?" He said in a high tone of voice. He looked over at his board of pictures. On the board were girls in their situation. Some tied to poles in the very same room they were in and some tied to chairs in what looked like a barn along with a few women in what looked like a house tied to a wooden pole in a way that was very similar to the way they were tied to the metal pole in the metal room they were sitting in. All of the women in the pictures had black hair of varying lengths. There was one odd one out. The woman had long blonde hair but the odd thing was their was a bag of stringy black hair next to her hair. Robert put down the ink and the hair dye and walked over to the board grabbing the bag of stringy black hair next to the blonde hair with two fingers and swinging it back and forth quickly. "This girl had the same situation as you Miss Dawson. I just wanted her." He said pointing to a picture of a very young looking girl in the corner of the board. "But then this little number got in the way. So I had to take her too. But I didn't want to mess up my pattern now did I? So I had to take a few measures to make sure my pattern stayed intact. I guess I'll have to do that with you too." Robert said looking at the picture of the blonde woman and smiling.

Chapter 49 Part 2 (Casey's car)

"Antonio. Have you made any headway on the Dawson and Trini investigation?" Casey asked holding his phone between his shoulder and his chin as he strapped Leslie into her car seat. "We're definitely making headway. We almost have the locations narrowed down and we're positive that the person who has him is Robert. Or at least that's what he calls himself. Robert has many names as we've found out but his given name is Norris Feldenburg." Antonio told him. Casey snorted. "Sounds like a stud." Antonio sighed. "If that's even his real name. We've found five names of his so far. He apparently does this nanny thing to find potential girls." Antonio said sighing angrily. "Oh my god. I can't believe I didn't pick up in that. He gave us files on himself and me and Gabby poured over those files. Over the files of all the nannies and then we chose him. Out of all people we chose him. Do you know how many people we interviewed? 37. We interviewed 37 people. And then we chose him. Why? How could we not have known? I'm supposed to protect her. And then Trini. Trini too. I know Gabby and I aren't married or anything but she's Gabby's sister. I think of her as my sister too. I was supposed to protect them!" Casey said frustrated. "I understand. I should have protected them too." Antonio said his voice quivering. "Okay well let me know if you make anymore headway okay? Oh and by the way make sure to Laura knows how grateful I am that she's watching Leslie. It's not that I don't trust our nanny...it's just I can't leave Leslie with a stranger right now. I just can't." Casey said as he pulled up in front of Laura's house. "Of course. Laura told me she was happy to do it and Eva's thrilled that she gets to see her little cousin. She says she's too surrounded by boys and she's glad to have another girl in the family. She's always talking about how she wants a little sister and she says Leslie is close enough." Antonio said into the phone chuckling. Then Casey heard a loud commotion in the background on Antonio's end of the phone. "Uh I gotta go. I'll let you know if we make any more headway." Antonio told him quickly hanging up the phone.
