Chapter Fifteen: There Can Be Consequences

Robert was still waiting for his car. As he waited, he kept trying to get hold of Sarah. Why wasn't she answering her phone? Maybe she just fell asleep. Robert then called her cellphone a fifth time.

"Hi, this is Sarah, please leave a message.

"Hey Sarah, it's me again.", said Robert, "Look, I don't want to come off as the overprotective father, but this is my fifth message. To be honest, I'm starting to get worried. Please call me back as soon as possible."

He kept pacing, while looking at his phone. The woman at the front desk just kept watching him. She was probably worried that he was going to wear a hole in the floor. Robert just had a bad feeling. What if something was wrong?

Sarah had just recently blossomed. For years she was the tall skinny redhead girl, with the thick glasses. She also had an overbite. This caused her to wear braces for three years, including the headgear. Puberty was an extremely difficult, but she got through it. Once she did her body filled out, the braces came off, and she has LASIK done. She was not the same girl she was a year ago.

Robert didn't know haw to handle the situation. That should have been Helen's job. Helen was gone at a time when Sarah really needed her mother. Robert didn't know how to handle is little girl, beacoming a beautiful woman overnight. Sarah was insecure, and naive. He feared she could easily be manipulated by unscrupulous men. Just then his cellphone rang.

"Oh thank God.", he thought, "But when he looked at the number, he saw it wasn't Sarahs. It was the police department. He began to panic, as he accepted the call.

"Hello.", he answered fearfully.

"Mr. Gilmore, it's Detective Johnson.", said Eric.

"Oh my God, what happened to Sarah?", asked Robert.

Jonathan had just returned to his office, he was alone. Guilt kept consuming him. How was he going to betray his brother, and niece? Karen, came first, it didn't matter. Beside, Sarah wasn't going to be a slave like Karen. Michael was practically going to worship her. At least, that's what Jonathan kept telling himself. Just then, there was a chill in the room.

"Jonathan.", he heard Michael's voice say, "Where is Sarah?"

"Look, Robert insisted on spending the day with her.", said Jonathan, "You're going to take her away form him. I thought they should have this day together."

"Jonathan.", said a more annoyed Michael, "Where is Sarah?"

"I was explaining, she's at my home with her father.", replied Jonathan's

"WRONG!!!", screamed Michael. With that Jonathan went flying across the room. He was shocked. It took awhile for him realize what just happened.

"SARAH IS IN AN AMBULANCE, ON HER WAY TO THE HOSPITAL!, ", screamed a furious Michael.

"What do you mean, why?", asked Jonathan.

"She was gang raped, in your home!", yelled Michael, "By that Evangeline Nelson's son, and two other reprobates."

"What were they doing in my home? Is Sarah okay?", asked Jonathan. He then felt a cold, hard object punch him in the face.

"DID I SAY YOU COULD TALK, JONATHAN!!?", asked a Michael. At this point he was beyond angry. Jonathan was completely petrified by now.

"Evangeline went to see Sarah.", Michael began, "And her repugnant son, a serial rapist, and two other low life's followed her to your home! They beat up both Evangeline, and Sarah! You know how I found out? Sarah called me for help! When I got there you know what I found, Jonathan? Her son's filthy penis in my angel's mouth. I not only killed them, I destroyed them. You may have tp sleep somewhere else tonight. Your living room is covered in what's left of their worthless carcasses. I'm not done with them, I have them now. They will know my wrath. I've always been fascinated by Greek Mythology, in particular Tartarus. I'm sure that I could easily get inspired. You're lucky I need you alive! Now do you have a question?"

"Is Sarah alright?", asked Jonathan.

"As well as she can be expected.", replied Michael, "NO THANKS TO YOU!!! I guess you want Karen's soul trapped forever. You don't seem to realize that I want you to keep an eye on Sarah! Now, there was a time, when I would doing anything to get a woman into bed. I would go as far as lie, or use hypnotic manipulation. But, I have never once physically harmed a woman. Karen is technically not a woman, she is a spirit, but even now I don't cause her any physical pain. I have Jason, and now Todd, to act as my whipping boys. I have not physically harmed any of the female spirts trapped in the manor. Now! I'm giving you one more, just one more chance! So help me Jonathan if you screw up Again! Karen, and Todd will share the same fate as the three men that defiled my Sarah!" Jonathan feared for his wife's soul.

"I'm sorry, I thought Robert was spending the day with her.", cried Jonathan, "Sarah's my niece, I would never want anything bad to happen her. But punish me, not Karen."

"NO MORE EXCUSES YOU IMBECILE!!!", screamed Michael, "As I said before, I unfortunately need you alive. I have a plan. I should have known better that to trust you, I should have done this from the start."

"What is your plan?", asked Jonathan.

"No!", said Michael, "I'm not tellilng you anything! You'll just screw it up again! Like earlier today, when you almost warned Robert about me. I was in your mind, when I entered this room, before I even spoke you. You almost betrayed me. I can't trust you. You're going to have to decide who is more important to you, Robert, or Karen. Decide wrong, and it will cost you dearly. When I need you, I'll come to you. When I'm ready, you'll know. I'm now taking matters into my own hands.
