Annabelle Texas January 20th 2015.

Anita Gates lay in her hospital bed with her eyes closed Lacey sat next to her. Reading a magazine she would glance at her friend every once and awhile, Anita began to stir on her bed a little bit! Lacey looked up from the magazine shocked. Anita are you ok? do I need to get a doctor? Anita let out a low groan, Lacey jumped up from her chair and ran towards the door. Nurse someone come quick she's awake! A young nurse who had been standing in the hallway reviewing her charts looked up at Lacey and walked towards Anita's room. What's going on is ms Gates awake? Yes, yes she is Lacey said now please come see about her, the nurse ran into the room ms gates are you ok do you know where you are? Anita nodded slowly. I'm in the hospital aren't I she said in a low groggy voice yes ms Gates you're in Magee Memorial. Aiden he did this to me didn't he? Ms Gates I'll get a detective to talk to you ok? Anita nodded. The nurse turned to walk out of the room wait nurse wait what about Chris? Anita asked. Lacey's face went slack she and the nurse exchanged knowing looks. Lacey looked at Anita, baby you don't need to worry about Chris right now ok! Anita frowned Lacey what happened? Is Chris ok what happened! She screamed out. Lacey's voice cracked slightly Anita Chris didn't make it; Aiden killed him when he attacked you guys at your house. What no Lacey no Chris can't be dead! Don't lie to me please please no Anita began to cry no! Oh God no please. Lacey moved closer to Anita's bed and cradled her in her arms and let her cry. An hour later Rachel arrived at Anita's room, oh Anita I'm so glad you're awake she said rushing to hug her how are you feeling? Anita smiled thinly, I'm ok I guess Aiden she screamed  out. Did you guys catch that son of a bitch yet and Andrew where's Andrew, Aiden didn't kill him did he? Well Rachel said. That's the thing Aidens name isn't really Aiden its Charles Grady! He was using the name Aiden and he took Andrew. We don't know where they are but we suspect he's somewhere in eastern Arkansas or Tennessee; wait what? Anita asked how.... Its a long story but I think you need to hear it ok? Anita nodded. Rachel Begin to tell her about Charles Grady's gruesome story, once she finished Anita was in shock. So he's been killing people for almost a decade and he managed to pass himself off as a missing/probably dead boy for  seven years? Yes Rachel said. He burns  his finger prints  off periodically that's why we haven't been able to find any prints at any crime scenes. He's almost like a chameleon he can adapt and change to suit his environment, just so he can go undetected. What about Andrew? Rachel cleared her throat well right now we don't think he's killed Andrew. But we need to find him before he does! And Max Anita asked is he ok? Well he's here in the hospital. Charles attacked him and Deria , Deria didn't make it; but Max did. Can I see him? Anita asked if you're up to it you can. Lacey and Rachel helped Anita walk to Max's room which was around the corridor from hers, Anita stood looking at her friend oh Max she said please fight and come through this. Max was still hooked up to the vent that let out little beeps, to assure he was still breathing. A rage suddenly filled Anita, she wanted so badly to make charles Grady or Aiden pierce or who ever the hell he was pay for what he had done to her friends. Make him suffer the way they were suffering, she wheeled around and looked at Rachel and Lacey we're going to get Andrew back! Yes Rachel nodded we are. But first we've got to find them. And when we do Anita said we're going to kill Charles Grady we're going to make him wish he was never born.
