THE HOMECOMING!

CHAPTER IV

Arriving just outside of the Southern Seagull Sanitarium, Daniel watches and after a few hours he has figured out what door the employees use for smoking breaks. Running across the large grassy area, Daniel approaches the door and bides his time. Fifteen minutes pass when he hears a faint beep inside and out steps an orderly with a cigarette dangling from his bottom lip. He notices Daniel and before he can say anything Daniel grabs him by both sides of his face and yanks him down, steps on his neck hard until it snaps! Rushing back to grab the door before it shuts, Daniel peeks in and enters the building. Looking around, he tries to locate a linen closet or something. He doesn't find anything yet, but sees another orderly and as he nears him the orderly asks him "Hey, you shouldn't be wandering around here alone. Who are you visiting?"
"Abigail Hollingsworth. Could you help me?"
"Yeah, she's down on the west wing. Follow me."

And after rounding the corner into another hallway, Daniel pulls his knife and quietly pushes the orderly into a currently unoccupied room, tells him to strip then kills him. Now dressed in the uniform, Daniel finally finds Abigail's room, and goes in.

She is sitting in a wheelchair by the window, and Daniel pulls up a chair and sits across from her.
"Abigail? Hey, I'm your oldest brother, Daniel. I'm sorry our father is such a bastard. See, he sold me and another brother, because we'd have been too many mouths to feed. But, I got through it... despite the physical abuse I and Tommy suffered...I channeled it into what I am today, an ass kicking born in the wool killer! See, I've now notched 63 kills, and I'm going to kill our dad!"

With a blank face, Abigail has not reacted to anything Daniel had said, until 'killing our dad". With that she looked him in the eyes, her dark grey eyes glinting at him, a slight smile on her plump rosey lips. She leans forward and for the first time in nearly a year, speaks.
"Well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine... brother. But one thing about daddy..." she leaps out of the chair and loudly proclaims "I'm going to be the one to roast his sorry ass!!"
Daniel grins, and standing up, grabs her in a hug. The embrace is awkward but done in love. Daniel finally has someone to love, and he's enveloping it.
"What's the routine around here? Do they ever take you out into the yard?"
"Sometimes...the chubby fella has a crush on me. I grabbed his lil package one time and he creamed his uniform! See, most here don't like me because their neice or friends daughter was among them I killed. I set fire to the school I was attending, killed me 17! But, it's dear old daddy that needs to be taught the lesson...just like the others...sweet Abigail can be a real nightmare!!" Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!

Upon hearing her laugh, Daniel knew they had a special link. Only psychopaths could understand. They continue talking for couple more hours, until she tells him they'll be bringing her night meds soon, so Daniel ducks under her bed. After the nurse checks Abigail's vitals she gives a small cup of pills of every color of the rainbow. Abigail seems to swallow them down and lays back on the bed. Hearing the door shut Daniel scoots out from under the bed just as Abigail spews a mouthful of wet pills into a small brown bag wrapped in plastic. Realizing that he saw her, Abigail says "I've been off their meds for months...look at this."
Handing him the bag, Daniel looks in and sees probably 500-600 pills, some already degraded from the saliva that was on them.
"Impressive, baby girl. Now let's get the hell out of this place!"
"Before we leave, I gotta see the security guard on this wing, Lyle...I owe him some BBQ! Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!"

As they ease out of the room, Abigail leads Daniel to the guards desk. She motions for Daniel to stay back a bit, as she shows him a can of lighter fluid and a Zippo lighter. She taps lightly on the door, and he buzzes her in. A few minutes later their is a visibly bright flash in the small room, and then the acrid smell of burning flesh hits Daniels nostrils, and as he opens the door Abigail is standing a few feet from the fire engulfed man, a huge grin on her face and her eyes glistening with delight!
"Isn't he beautiful, Daniel! He raped me nine time with his chubby pecker...won't be raping in hell you s.o.b.!! Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!"

Daniel and Abigail run through the grassy area and get in the semi. Daniel cranks it up and they haul tail... back home!

The dawn breaks through the wraparound windows of the farm house. Nell is busy fixing breakfast, while Toby stumbles down the stairs already half drunk. The two of them sit down and begin eating when Daniel bursts through the front door, and loudly proclaims "Momma and daddy, I'm home again! But this time I brought a playmate! Now, dad, I know you know her real well!"
Just then the back door is kicked open and there stands Abigail, in her long black dress, black veil...and a can of gasoline in one hand and a long rope in the other!
"Daddy! Did you miss your sweet little girl!? Remember how you'd dope momma up and then come in my room...you'd beat me, then rape me... again and again. For six years I thought I was the freak...well, no more! C'mon dad, let's spark a conversation!"
