Dear Writer, - The Fooo Conspiracy (Felix Sandman)

50: Recovery

-Linnea-

We receive a ride to the hospital that day so I can get my swollen eye checked out, but all they did was give me pain killers and told me to ice it.

I walk up to Oscar as I leave the office and he holds my face trying to see where the pain hurts.

"You were so brave, he held a gun to your face."

"Yea I guess I just kind of froze." I look around noticing he is alone. "Where is Tess and Felix?"

"I came here to wait for you, and Tess is with Felix right now."

"Why what happened?"

"Felix is taking some x-rays incase he broke any ribs. They're saying he might need to replace some bones because they shattered.

Oscar's face is serious but his lips strain as he tries to hide a smile.

"Am I missing something? Can we please go see them?"

"Felix is just fine, he took Tess across the street to pick up lunch."

"Don't fucking scare me like that!" I push him into the wall right as they walk in with two bags of McDonalds. "Today's not the time for jokes Oscar."

Felix hands me a happy meal box while stuffing a fri into his mouth.

"Hey hey hey! What's going on?"

"Oscar's being a dick!" I stomp out with my happy meal.

I don't make it far however, Two police officers stop me.

"Are you Linnea Svensson?"

"Yes, that's me."

"We are here with the police department and we are going to have to take you in for questioning."

My arms are taken stiffly and I call Felix to come with me.

The four of us hop into the back of the police car and driven to a bland grey interrogation room for questioning.

"Linnea you understand that your father is a murderer correct?"

She says this like it's completely normal.

"Yes. Don't say it like that."

The woman nods and scribbles some notes on a pad.

"I'm going to need you to share with me all the information you know about your father, Gastav Svensson."

This comment sets me back for a second. My father's name is Gastav?

"Linnea you don't have to do this if it's too hard." Oscar warns me.

Of course I do, before more lives are taken. I wave them out of the room so I am alone with the woman, they don't need to know the details of my father's and my relationship.

"Okay, I'm Linnea and my father is Gastav Svensson, As a child my father was never there for me and he left me with my mother at a very young age. He would appear from time to time. A couple weeks ago he my guardian Bea got lost in the forest and my father kidnapped me. His house is deep in the forest, about a twenty minute walk and in the middle of nowhere, there are no trails. You have to be careful with him too, he has a gun and he is quick.

I think of Maja but I swallow the lump in my throat. This isn't the time to be thinking of her.

The woman scribbles more notes for a couple more minutes observing my reactions and I try hard not to break down in front of her.

"Linnea I have one last question for you."

I nod.

"Were you abused as a child?"
