Painted Smile: The Return of Jeffery Woods

The incident...

The policeman, Dr Winters, Amy, Becky, Bella and Baxter all got out the car once they eventually got to the Clairville police station. The policeman showed them all inside and he took Becky and Bella inside a room where he questioned about what had happened. Baxter was patiently waiting outside with Dr Winters and Amy. "Amy you are putting yourself back in danger by trying to protect other people from Jeff. After what had happened with him..." Amy quickly interrupted, "I know. Please don't remind me of it. I'll be reminded everyday when I look in the mirror and I see this mark on my neck." Dr Winters asked to take another look at the mark on Amy's neck. The girl sighed and pulled down the neck of her shirt and Dr Winters took a look at it, not touching it incase it hurt. It was worse than the last time he seen it. It went from the side of her neck down to just above her shoulder. From the redness, it looked like a burn mark. "Good god. It's even worse than last time. How could he do this to you?" Amy pulled up the neck of her shirt again and sighed as she looked towards Baxter. She was close to crying. Dr Winters then felt the need to ask, "What exactly happened that night? The night that he..." he didn't want to say the word to her. He thought it would break Amy. She took a minute to think before replying back to him. "I was..." she was cut off as Becky and Bella came out from the room. Both of them stood up. "You guys can go back home. Make sure that all windows and doors are locked and if this happens again, you know what to do," said the policeman before walking off. Dr Winters then said, "Well I guess I better get going. I need to do some more research. I need to see if I can make out where he'll be next." Then Dr Winters also walked off. Becky asked Amy. "Amy? I hope you don't mind me asking, but what's your full name?" Amy replied, "Amy Louise Ganguly. Why?" Becky then widened her eyes. "Amy? Is this really you?" Amy nodded her head confused and responded. "Yes. Have we met before?" Becky managed to have a smile appear on her face. "It's me, Becky. Becky Eleanor Woods. My brother is Jeffery Woods, our friend was Jamila. You seemed to remember Baxter when I said his name." Amy was shocked and her eyes widened. "Oh my god, Becky it is you! Look at you, you still have Baxter and, this is your daughter." Amy hugged Becky and they both smiled at each other. Bella was stood next to Becky with Baxter. "Would you like to come to my house?" Amy nodded her head. "I'd love to. I could do with some company." All of them started to go to Becky's home.

Once they eventually got there, Becky put Bella to bed. "Don't worry, he's not going to harm us now. You get some sleep. Remember, Baxter's here as well to protect you." Bella smiled and Becky gently kissed her forehead, then went downstairs. "Sorry about that, I had to put her to bed." Amy replied smiling, "Oh it's alright. By the way, I love your house." Becky smiled and thanked her. She then asked about how Jamila was. Amy's smile then turned upside down. "There's something going on with her." Becky questioned what she meant by that. "She's not, coming out of the house. If you go there, she'll answer the door, but she won't come out. She won't even let you go in. I don't know what's going on with her." She then turned towards the tv to watch Only Fools and Horses. However, Becky noticed something red at the top of her neck. "Amy, is that a mark?" Amy realised what she was looking at and replied, "It's a mark. From a hand." Becky's eyes widened for a minute. "By who? Who did it?" Amy didn't reply. All she did was watch the humour of Del Boy thinking that a receptionist was stalking him. Becky shook Amy to try and get her attention. The touch startled her. "Did he do this? He did didn't he? What did he do? Tell me?" Amy felt water behind her eyes. "It happened, two days ago." Becky leaned forward, "What happened?" Her best friend didn't want to tell her. All she wanted was to forget, but she knew she wouldn't be able to since she had a huge mark on her neck. Becky did her best to persuade her. "Amy, you have to tell me. I'm his sister. I have to know who he's harmed so I can stop him from doing it again. So please, tell me what happened two days ago." Amy wiped a tear from her cheek and took a deep breath. "Ok, I'll tell you." Then Amy began to tell Becky about her incident with the killer.

"It happened two days ago, when the rain was pounding on the ground. I was watching The Big Bang Theory, thinking about if you were ever going to turn back to normal. Like, escaping from insanity. I heard a noise come from my bedroom upstairs. I grabbed a kitchen knife for self defence. Stupidly, I went to investigate the noise." Becky started to get a bad feeling from this. Amy continued with a tear rolling down her skin. "When I got to my room, straight away I noticed that my window was open. I thought I remembered closing it, so I started to think that maybe I never did. I looked out of it, I saw the rain splashing in the puddles and the lightening flashed. All of a sudden, the bedroom light turned off. For a second I thought it had blew, but then, I felt like someone was in the room. That's when I heard talking. They said 'Hello Amy' so I raised the knife. The light turned back on and I saw that face. Your brother's face. For years I had been scared to look at him. But two days ago, I looked him straight in the eyes. I was paralysed. I couldn't move, I couldn't speak. All these years I thought your brother was dead." Becky then interrupted, "What happened after that?" She continued, "I saw the devil behind those eyes. All I could see was rage, there was no good in him. He then said strange things. Disturbing things, as he walked towards me. I wanted to move away but, I felt like something was holding me in place. He took the knife out of my hand and pushed me against the wall." Amy's voice began to break and her breathing became shaky. "His hand was grasping my neck. I thought I was going to die. It was like my lungs were struggling to inflate. But he let go, that's how I got this mark. Then he did something, something I know I'll never forget. I don't want to say it Becky." Becky put her hand on her shoulder, "You have to. You need to tell me." Amy tried to breath for a minute, "He... brushed my hair out of my face. Then he placed his hand over my mouth. After that, all I felt was p-p-pain." Becky knew exactly what Amy was talking about. The hate for Jeff increased. "You mean, he... he... raped you?" Amy had her head in her hands as she slowly nodded her head and cried.

Becky stood up and walked around. Her rage was up to a point where she couldn't take it anymore. "B-B-Becky, it's alright. You can't d-do anything about it." Becky growled, "No, I have to do something about this. It's happened for the second time now, I'm not going to let him do this again!" Amy stood up next to Becky, "What do you mean, 'second time'?" Becky stared at Amy. "He raped you didn't he? His own sister, he makes me sick. Wait, your daughter. You mean... he's..." Becky nodded her head and started weeping, "He's her father. I couldn't do anything to stop him. I was too scared. I couldn't move. He was holding his fucking knife so I didn't want to try anything. Now he's found us. Me and Bella. He's after her. Now he's gone and raped you. I can't take this anymore. I have to stop him. My own daughter can't even sleep at night because of this son of a bitch!" Amy held Becky to keep her under control, "Becky! Please take a breath. You're going back to your old ways again. Just tell me one thing, do you at least know a way that can kill him, once and for all?" Becky then stared at the floor. She had to come up with a way to finish Jeff and his killing spree. But how?
