A couple of days had passed. Christmas was coming, there for new year was coming too. That meant two things,one Mr.Johnson was coming, and second Bob was going to tell Mary. As the days passed Susan and Kevin were getting used to the idea of Kevin living forever on a wheel chair. He was handling pretty well, he liked to do things by himself. Every time you offered him something he would tell you to let him do it himself. He never asked for anything. He would only let Susan help him but just in little things, I guess he wanted to learn how to live without a leg by himself.
It was December 20th. We already had the Christmas tree ready. We all did it together, it wasn't just one person that set the tree, we all helped, even Kevin. I don't know I fell I love, no with a person, or something, I was in love with life itself. With so much love in the air it was almost impossible not to. At this point I think we were ready to whatever would come. You could say that we were ready to die, or put mr.Johnson in jail.
That moment I realized that everything happens for a reason. As much as I hate Mr. Johnson I knew it was because of him that we were all at the house together. If it wasn't for him Susan and Kevin wouldn't be together. We had to thank him. However, it was because of him that Kevin lost his leg and Susan's father is dead.
As the days passed, we weren't just there waiting for the day, no, we went to the building the man told us he went to see Mr. Johnson. It was a big building, it seemed like a abandoned factory. You had to pass three doors in order to go in. There were two men in every door. You needed a password to go in. We didn't actually try to go in. However, we saw a guy that did, there were windows next to the front door, there were curtains inside, one of them were a little but open so we could see. The guy said some words to the men and they let him in. Even if we couldn't see much, we had Bob, maybe he wasn't the smartest man on earth, but when it came to deduce things he was better than Sherlock Holmes. By listening to people's steps, he could tell where the stairs were. He could also tell where every room was. By his deductions we made a map. It was pretty elaborated.
We went home that day and Bob was concentrating on improving the map. It was really cold outside so we all stayed home. At 3:00pm Roxanne went to buy some groceries. When she came back she was running and she could barely talk. Roxanne was so pale that we all thought that she was getting sick.
"Was wrong with you?" Susan asked "did you see a ghost or something?"
"Worse" Roxanne answered. "I was just walking to the store and this man took a knife out of his pocket and hurtled me, I don't remember much of what happened, I was really scared" there was a long. Silence, someone gave her water. "I was so scared, he worked for Mr.Johnson"
"How do you know that?"
"He was the one that went into his building when we went there"
"did he say anything to you?"
". He told me...He told me that if we tried to do anything against them he would kill us"
"We should call the police?" Mentioned Mary
"No, they won't do anything. They're gonna say it's an "average case"" Said I.
" I know what we should do, don't get scare and get them to the police" Susan commented.
"What is wrong with us?" Roxanne said "Susan, you know we are not cops, none of us have been in the army, we just don't kill people. We are all going to die"
"No we are not!" I said. "Now, are you hurt?"
"my arm hurts a lot" She was wearing long sleeves, she showed us her arm, it was her left arm. She had a long cut, it went from her elbow to her wrist. It was awful, I was getting sick. We went to the hospital again. Luckily this time, she didn't lose her arm, she had to stay at the hospital four days, I didn't understand why Kevin only had to stay there three days and two nights, and Roxanne had to stay there four days. His time Bob and Mary stayed in the hospital with her, Kevin, Susan and I went to visit her every day. She didn't seem to a problem. Every time she saw us, she seemed really excited.
