GOOD GIRLS AND SERIAL KILLERS

SIXTEEN

Olivia:

-"The hell you mean they shot Dad!?" Kayan got up in an instant, looking like a complete maniac.

I was ready to break down, my hands and my body shaking uncontrollably. My Dad. Shot.

-"OLIVIA!" Kayan grabbed my shoulders and shook me, "WHAT HAPPENED!?"

-"HEY!" Aaron shoved him off, "Calm down dude! Liv, hey it's okay, look at me."

I slowly sank on my knees, hitting the grass as tears fell from my eyes. Dad. He was in the hospital, in a critical condition. Dad.

-"Olivia please tell me what happened!" Kayan was now sobbing as well, as he sat in front of me.

-"Kayan..." I breathed as I lifted my gaze to look at my brother's face, "They shot Dad. He's in the hospital. Critical condition."

-"No, no he's not." Kayan started shaking his head. "FUCK HES NOT!"

-"I'll call my Dad." Stella took out her phone and wandered off talking to Mr.Da Silva.

-"Aaron call Uncle Connor CALL HIM!" Kayan yelled, and the next second, Aaron was speaking to his Dad.

-"Let it out babe." Layla came close to me and hugged me tightly. "you're okay."

   Rui and Jules rushed to Kayan's side wrapping their arms around him as he sobbed uncontrollably.

-"Who would do that!?" Stella came back, "And why??"

-"I'll find out, and I'll kill whoever it is." I said and got up.

-"My dad's coming. He's gonna take us to the hospital." Aaron was out of breath, "I'm sorry Liv."

   I allowed myself to relax a little bit in his embrace, but it didn't last long before Uncle Connor came and we were at the hospital in no time.

-"Mom." Me and Kayan rushed to Mom hugging her.

-"Hey, mom, what happened?" Kayan wiped his tears.

-"I don't know Kayan, I was picking Stanley up,and the next thing I know is your Dad's here." Mom said and she pointed at Stanley.

-"I'll be back." I went over to my little brother and kneeled in front of him.

-"Stanley?" I said and he raised his gaze to meet mine.

-"Is he going to be okay?" Stanley asked, his eyes red, but no more tears falling from them. "Don't lie to me."

-"Of course he's gonna be okay, he is Ravi freaking Singh. He's our dad, and he's brave as hell."

   Kayan also came next to us, sitting down next to Stanley and running a hand through his hair.

-"Dad will be okay. We aren't allowed to see him yet, but I'm sure he'll be fine."

-"What did the doctors say?" Stanley raised his head to look at Kayan.

   Kayan looked at me, but didn't say anything at first.

-"They haven't said anything yet. They're still with Dad." He eventually explained.

-"So we know nothing. Yeah you could have just said that." Stanley lowered his head once again and focused on his hands.

-"Kayan, I want to tell you something, get up." I got up and walked over to the side with Kayan.

-"What's wrong this is not a time for stuff and you know it." He hissed.

-"We're going to the crime scene, see if we can find anything."

-"Are you crazy there's gonna be police everywhere!"

-"SH SH! Officer Da Silva is literally here, get the others were leaving."

   I took mom's car keys and gaslighted a nurse to tell me where was the place Dad was shot.

-"Okay so Uhm, this is insane!" Aaron buckled his belt and sat back.

-"Man up Aaron for the love of all that is good and pure." Jules smacked his forearm.

-"Guys can we all stop fighting please I'm driving!" I yelled into the backseat.  "Thank you."

   After a thirty minute drive, we arrived somewhere. It was an old junk, and we could see the do not cross lines, but some stupid yellow strings weren't going to get in my way.

-"Okay first things first, don't touch anything." I grabbed some gloves and threw pairs at them.

-"The hell is this?" Kayan held up his floral gloves.

-"Dad's gloves. Real men wear floral when trespassing."

-"Let's fucking go dude." Kayan opened the door and we got out of the car.

-"The real question is, what was Uncle Ravi doing here?" Rui asked as he took in the place.

-"We're going to find out, after we see if we have anything that can lead us to who shot him."

   As we walked through the place everyone kept scanning it, seeing if they could find anything. After a while, Stella yelled.

-"GUYS! A gun!"

   We all rushed to her side, and we looked around, but nothing was there.

-"Are you hallucinating?" Louis asked and he turned to look at her.

-"Are you blind Louis?? Huh!?" Stella pointed at the ground. "It's literally burried there, can't you see the silhouette?!"

-"Wait, she's right." Layla said and pointed at the ground. "It's there."

-"No one touch it. I'll do it." I sat down in the mud and took the gun out of the ground.

   Everyone lowered their heads toward me to get a better look.

-"Do you think this is the one they shot your dad with?" Aaron asked.

-"Why else would it be here? Maybe the person who did it is inexperienced and probably didn't know how to hide it. And police hasn't done a proper investigation yet." I handed it to Stella.

-"Why me!?" She looked at it wide eyed.

-"Give it to your dad. He's gonna find if it had any handprints on. Just don't take off your gloves."

-"Oh, okay." She nodded.

   Jules coughed slightly, "Guys is it just me or is someone there!?"

   We all turned our heads to look— Bad thing— and we saw a dark silhouette watching us from the trees.

-"What the actual fuck—" Kayan murmured.

-"He saw us guys, he saw us—" Louis panicked.

-"There's no need to panic!" Rui whispered, "Just slowly move towards the car, I don't think he can hurt us!"

-"Fascinating, how about we go before we find out HOW he can hurt us!? I'm never watching Terrifier before bed again." Aaron shook his head.

   I didn't listen to them. I ran towards the figure.

-"SHIT OLIVIA!!" Layla yelled behind me.

   I saw Aaron and Kayan running up to catch up with me, the other following after them. The figure also ran, dissapearing into the trees.

-"WHY DID YOU HURT MY DAD!?!?!?" I yelled into nothing as I frantically looked around trying to spot it.

-"Liv, let's just go!" Louis said. "It's dangerous out here!"

-"But it's my dad..." I said, my voice breaking.

-"We are going to see your Dad honey. Now." Jules assured me.

   And we all sat there for some minutes, wondering what else was about to happen to us.
