"So, are you just gonna stand there or..?" Olivia asks, walking up to my father, admiring the charges proudly. My father scowls at us and leaves, Doctor Greg following him like a lost sheep.

"Finally." I say, plopping myself onto my bed. Olivia does the same.

"So, you got any plans for Sunday after we break free?" Olivia asks me, quite eager to know.

"Well.. sleep. On Monday we could go out together somewhere, if we don't live far." I say, rubbing my chin to think of some good places.

"I also live in Seattle, don't worry. We could check out the new cafe that opened, I've heard good things about it." Olivia smiles. I can already feel my mouth drooling. It actually opened while I was in the hospital, I didn't get anything because I really was not in the mood for it. Nurse Charlie did get some whilst she was on break from babysitting me.

"Maybe." I say. I press the button beside me which means I needed to go to the restroom. Doctor Bob walks in almost immediately.

"Come on, Rose." He says as I go with him.

10AM

 The restroom was situated next to a storage room. They were the only clean ones there. As I walked through the hallway, I couldn't help but smell something rotting. The smell suffocated my insides. I figure it's the restroom, but you could only smell it subtly in there. As I got out, I tried to open the storage room next to it. There was no use.

"Looking for this?" Doctor Greg says, pulling out a key from his pocket. Where did he come from? "You're quite the detective, aren't you, Rosalynne? Here, I'll open it." He says, why was he being nice?

I watched him open the door in silence with Doctor Bob behind me. He opened the door and the rotten stench practically entered my mouth. I then entered the room, not knowing what it would entail. What I saw next made my jaw drop to the floor.

"Seriously, Greg? You couldn't preserve her body? There's a freezer downstairs you know." Doctor Bob throws him a face of irritation. It was my aunt Annabelle, she seemed like she'd just been stuffed in this room. Her pale body was cold to touch and I could see dry blood stains on the floor that came from her head.

"What a work of art." My father pops out from behind. 

"I take it you did this?" I ask him.

"Like it?" He asks, now clapping.

"Excuse me? That's my aunt you killed." I say, I could feel my blood gushing.

"Well, I noticed her blood wasn't flowing so I shot her again yesterday. Now she's a m-"

"Dude, seriously?" Doctor Bob grits his teeth.

  "Yeah." He says, he then pulls out a gun from his pocket and I freak out. "You know who's next, dear old Bob? Yo-"

"FREEZE. Drop the gun. Put your hands up." Someone shouts from behind him. It was the cops.

"Wait, wha-" My father now looks terrified as they walk towards him. One cop was holding a taser and the other one was holding handcuffs.

"Turn around. You have the right to remain silent Mr. Jeff Lee, you are being convicted for murder. Anything you say or do will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to appoint an attorney if you wish. If you are unable to appoint an attorney, the police will provide you with one." A cop says while handcuffing him. I've never seen him so scared for his life. His puny hands were cuffed and he was dragged along by the cops. I then saw him trying to run away in the distance and then saw him getting tased. A grin crept up on my face as I saw this scene unfolding in front of my eyes. I know I was satisfied. So was Doctor Bob.
