The Detective

Chapter 2: The life of The Detective

After the accident Nick's coworkers got him to the hospital, but the doctors said everything was OK. He just had a few scratches, scars, and bruises from the accident. Nick was still freaking out from when he had seen the man in the car. The main thing on his mind though was if his family was safe. Nick's friends from work Steve and Mary, decided to drive him home since his car had been totaled from the tree.

Nick: Ugh, where's my cell phone?

Mary: It was broken when we found you, the screen was shattered all over the place.

Nick: Oh...that little bitch!

Mary: What was that Nick?

Nick: Nothing, just talking to myself.

Steve: Don't worry man, I called Margaret and the kids and told them that we're on the way. Their safe, just worried sick thats all.

Nick: Thanks...you know, you two really are great friends.

Mary: Aww Nick.

Steve: It's nothing man, I mean anybody would of done the same thing.

Nick: No, nowadays people are too selfish to look out for anyone but themselves.... How did you two find me anyways?

Steve: Man you and Margaret must of had some wild night list night huh?!

Nick: What?!

Steve: You were literally right in front of the radio station's parking lot. You must of swerved into one of the trees of the forest by the station when you went to sleep.

Nick: Oh...

Steve: Yea, its stranger but your passenger door was open and your GPS was set for your house.

Nick's eyes widened and he started to panic. That must of been a clue that the psychopath was on his way to his house.

Nick: How far are we away from my house? We have to get there now!

Steve: Calm down man, were about two minutes away.

Mary: What's wrong Nick, your sweating and seem scared.

Nick: I need to get home to keep my family safe!

Steve: We called them before we left the hospital Nick. Their alright man, just relax.

Mary: See there's your yard right there, we're here now OK.

The car pulled in Nick's driveway and Nick opened the door and fell out the car, trying to move too fast while injured. That didn't stop Nick though, he hopped back up on his feet and hobbled in the house as fast as he can with his two friends behind him trying to slow him down. When they had walked in the living room Margaret and the kids were on the couch looking at TV together. The kids looked over to see their dad walk in the house with bruises all over and ran at him with full speed, grabbing his legs.

Alice: Daddy!

Timothy: Daddy, your OK! I was...I was soo scared when they said you were hurt!

The two kids started to sob tears from their eyes and Nick calmed down to comfort them. He kneeled down on his knees and hugged his children. Margaret, Steve, and Mary smiled at the site of a parent and their children showing how much they care for each other.

Margaret: Thanks for bring my husband back home to me, little sis, you to Steve.

Steve: It's not a problem, I mean we are family, even if it is only by marriage.

Mary: Ugh it's getting pretty late.

Margaret: Oh you two can stay the night here, we always have room for you two here.
