Chapter Thirty Five | RevelationsXNightmares

Anna tensed up and gasped like she'd had the air knocked out of her.

We looked at her with worry but she dismissed it as asthma and fetched her inhaler from her old hoodie.

"Lena?" Francis asked saddened.

Antonio looked worried.

Gilbert nodded sadly, he looked like he was having flashbacks of time spent with her.

"How did it happen?" I asked.

"They...found her in the forest clearing hanging by her ankles, throat slit open...drained of blood."

Anna gasped in horror and I took it all in slowly. I clasped my hands together and hunched over, thinking about it.

"And where was Officer Shenck when this happened?" I asked seriously.

"At a bar, but he also leaves around the same time it occurred. But...there's no humanly possibly vay he could've gotten to Lena in that time."

Francis and Antonio exchanged serious looks.

Anna looked pale and her knees shook, she suddenly fainted and collapsed to the ground dropping her inhaler and hitting a chair on the way down making a loud clash.

"Anna!" I cried and ran to her side as did the trio.

We woke her up with a cool rag on her forehead as she was suddenly burning up with anxiety.

"I should go home," she suddenly insisted.

She ran upstairs to get her things and I was overcome with a seizing wave of anxiety.

I scrunched into a ball and gasped for breath.

Francis rubbed my back and asked frantically what was going on with the women in the house.

"Dangerous," was all I could mumble.

They brought me upstairs and Anna was hyperventilating under the window, having seen something outside.

"Anna, what's wrong?" Antonio asked and ran to her side while Francis sat me down on the bed.

He looked outside the window and a police cruiser pulled up out front.

"Shenck," he breathed and I realized that's why I felt I was in danger.

Gilbert rushed down the stairs to open the door for Shenck who walked inside.

They greeted each other with friendly smiles and a handshake only the two of them knew.

"Vhere is your toy?" He asked seriously.

"She's not a toy, her name is ___, and she's upstairs, vhy?" Gilbert responded just as serious.

"I need to speak vith her about Lena."

"You veally think ___ could string up a woman Lena's size and weight?" Gil prodded.

"Have you ever looked through her arrest records?" He asked and Gilbert's brow furrowed in confusion.

"She's a dangerous person."

"Anyvone can be dangerous under certain circumstances," Gilbert growled and he and Shenck glared at each other not breaking eye contact.

"Really? Did you know she was offered a job by the U.S. government to be their hired assassin?"

"She vasn't making vhat up?"

"So she tells you these things."

"She tells us most everything because she's family."

"You've takes that great a liking to her?"
