Season 2 Episode 4

Midnight- A little Rage in the Cage

I laid in the bed looking up at the ceiling. It has been 2 days since Emilio left Midnight to roam the world, with promise that we would meet again. I never really knew what heartbreak felt like from my own point of view. I had never felt it from more than another person, it hurt so much worse when it was your own. The rain finally stopped but it didn't really mean I felt any better. I wanted to feel ok again I wanted to smile but it was too much to do so. I looked out the window and saw it was dark and sighed. Manfred said he was going out with Patience for a few drinks and even though I didn't like it I didn't have the energy to stop him. I got up and looked out the window and it faced the church and I just watched remembering all the great moments I had with the Rev. I saw a truck pull up in front of the church and a woman fall out of the truck. She entered the church and I felt a pain that had me groaning and almost on the floor. Something was wrong, I just didn't know what. I felt the pain intensify and then I heard a scream and it stopped, I knew then she was dead. I ran out of the house and over to the church when I saw Lem by the front pews holding a baby.

"Lem what is going on?" I asked walking closer.

"I wish I knew why don't you call everyone over" I nodded and took out my phone and called my brother first.

"Hey Manny, we have a situation you need to come over to the church now" I said to him.

"Um ok on my way" he said and I called Joe, Fiji, Olivia and Bobo next and walked over to Lem and held my arms out for the child. I felt fear from her and hunger but not a normal hunger. I looked on the floor and saw the women who's pain I felt earlier, Lem handed the girl to me.

"Her name is Mary her mother was looking for the Rev, I'm not sure why though" he said feeling very confused.

"I think I know but ill wait until the others get here" I said, Fiji was the first one to arrive followed by Olivia and then Joe. I sat down with Fiji on the first pew and she was just staring at the child. We heard Joe enter and Fiji looked back.

"Wait where's Chuy?" she asked.

"Paris" he answered "Texas, at nailapaloosa," Bobo came in right after followed by Manfred and Patience.

"Fiji we need to talk" Bobo said.

"Now Is not the time" she muttered and I felt her pain as Patience gasped at the body.

"Oh my" she cried looking away and I felt the annoyance form Olivia "What happened? I'm sorry to crash but I thought I could help" she explained when she got odd looks from Olivia and Joe.

"Did something attack her?" Manfred asked.

"I think it happened during childbirth" I said to them, "I felt her pain when she came into town.

"Well maybe her ghost can tell us something" Olivia said and Manfred got down on the ground and touched her arm giving it a minute.

"Nothing" he sighed shaking his head.

"There are ligature marks on her wrist?" Olivia noticed informing the others.

"From what?" Fiji asked trying to see what she saw.

"Looks like shackles" Lem said.

"What about that burn mark on her arm?" Bobo asked pointing to her arm.

"Scars, my guess would be a stun gun" Olivia said looking over the body. I sat down on the bench and laid the baby girl on my lap her head still resting in my arms.

"Sounds like she was being held captive" I said from where I was sitting.

"I was thinking that to" Manfred said.
