A Tortured Soul

Chapter 6

    

The money from Marge's parents was running low which ment she and Jason needed to get jobs soon, but what about Justin? Leaving him home alone while they went to the grocery store was fine for them because they would only be gone no longer than an hour and a half to two hours tops.

    They simply slipped Nyquil in his drink an he would be asleep the whole time and noone would know he was there, but to go to work?

    No, he would end up crying, someone would hear him, and they would get popped with child abandonment. So it was decided that he needed to start daycare, he was two years old now and not quite old enough for school yet, but there were two problems:

     1. They had no clue about any daycare centers in the area.

     2. They needed fake I.Ds so they wouldn't be busted for their crimes, surely the police would have been notified about what she tried to do while pregnant, skipping out of the hospital, and most importantly what happened at her parents house during that last visit.

   Marge changed her appearance by dyeing her hair, adding extentions, changed the way she dressed, and changed her make up style. Jason was blown away at how much this changed the her, when she was talking to him about it, it didn't sound like much, but after seeing it he was barely able to recognize her himself.

    He on the other hand simply cut his shoulder length hair to a tidy crew cut and grew out his mustache and beard causing him to appear more grown up and approachable.

    There was a man online they ran across that was an expert at making fake I.Ds, mainly for teenagers looking to get into clubs, but he agreed to do their I.Ds for $100 a pop.

     Finding it a bit much Marge and Jason went along with it anyway since others they found were way more expensive. Marge became Lily Colez and Jason became Aaron Colez. Colez was the last name they had chosen to give Justin so obviously that had to be their last name as well if they wanted to be seen as a loving modern family.

   Of course not forgetting Justin's appearance had to change as well, he was malnourished from lack of being fed properly and battered from being beaten everytime he made a noise.

     Marge and Jason had no choice but to feed him more to get his weight up and stop beating him long enough for his cuts from knives, scratches from Marge's fake fingernails, and bruses from Jason's fists to heal up so he would be presentable to daycare workers.

     As the next four months past Justin was looking better and better, he became a lot happier as well. Marge spotted a couple walking the neighborhood with a little boy that looked to be about the same age as Justin.

"Jason come see."

   Marge called out, Jason looked out of the window along side his wife.

"Oh, yea they are always walking around about this time."

Jason said glancing at his watch.

"No, the little boy."

"What about him?"

"He looks like he is about Justin's age, do you think he is in daycare?"

"Possibly, why?"
