In The Name Of Trouble

Chapter 64

"How's she?"

"She hit her head pretty bad. But good that the boulder wasn't sharp. I've bandaged her up. She's good now." His doctor told him. They were outside the room where Cash was being treated in.

"She's good?" Larson was still in his formal coat and tie.

"Yes. I'll take your leave now." He said as Larson nodded in response and got in to see Cash wearing a hospital gown and a bandage wrapped around her head.

"How are you feeling?"

"Really? Do you really care?" She picked her fingers.

"Don't be sour. Of course I care. And we're going to be together for longer time than you think so you might want to lose that attitude."

"Excuse me? Longer than you think? What are you saying?" She looked up from her hands

"I wanted to show you when you were.... you know...." He waved his hand as he tried to find the right word "Eligible.... To hear it."

"And what's that?" She had regained her composure and confidence.

"Its on your bedside table. First drawer. In a brown paper file." He sat next to her on the bed for which Cash responded by moving away an inch. She looked at him with suspicion and took out the file. It had the seal of the court.

"Let me guess.... My warrant for an arrest?" She looked up at him and smiled.

"No. Better." He returned the smile

"A warrant for your arrest."

"Open it baby. You're testing me."

She did so without saying another word. She took the papers out and examined them one by one, much to the amusement of Larson. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She checked the papers again, unable to believe its contents. She started to shuffle the papers faster and Larson snatched the papers out of her hand and put it back in the file.

"Enough, you read it, you know what it is."

"No, no, no.... It can't be."

"Welcome home daughter."

"Why? Why are you doing this to me?"

"Why? Is that your question? Why!?!" He sprang out of the bed and lurched at her and pinned her down on the bed "Because I need you baby. I want you." He looked at her beautiful cold eyes matching his own green eyes. She looked at him, her eyes gleaming with fear. "Make a single sound, and you'll regret it." he took off her blankets and left her with her hospital gown. Cash didn't say a word, she just looked at him.

"Baby I love you." He said as he trailed his fingers through her legs and worked his way up.

"Please, no, stop." her voice came out as a whisper.

"What's that baby?" His hands went under her dress and pinched her thighs.

"I said STOP!!!!" She kicked him away and jumped out of the bed. Larson had fallen to the ground but immediatly got back up. His hands went to his jaw and he rubbed it. A big purple bruise started to form.

"You fight good, I must give you that. But fighting is getting you no where."

"You FUCKING PEDOPHILE!!!!" She had taken the lamp and threw it at him. The lamp hit him right in the gut and fell down and shattered. Larson doubled over in pain. Cash ran out of the room.

An alarm was sounded. All the lights turned off and was replaced by red ones.

Cash stood there in the middle of a long corridor, not knowing which way to go. She could hear guards coming around the corner. She ran off the other way and hid behind a big marble vase. The footsteps went past her. She came out and ran back the corridor. After a few turns and twists in the haunted mansion, Cash got lost.

She heard footsteps behind her and ran the other way just to bump into a tall man with a crisp grey coat.

"Well we got ourselves into some trouble haven't we baby?" He said as he straightened his sleeve and looked at her. He bent down to match Cash who was on the floor and hit her with the back of his hand "I won't tolerate this again. Is that clear? ANSWER ME!!!" He hit her again 

"You are now my daughter by law and I'm now your father!!!" He spat at her. "So you will respect me the way a girl should respect her father!!! Is that in anyways not understandable?" Cash just nodded.

She's knew that there's no more escaping....

Not any more.
