Torturous [Fillie]

Notes

It would have been a typical Wednesday morning if this case hadn't gotten any stranger. Winona Ryder just sat in her office quietly reading through emails from the forensics lab and principal Harbour. He had submitted all of the names of the students who were absent from school, the typical five. The woman shook her head in such disbelief before scrolling down even further to read more. 'Enzos. Friday night. 7oclock. I'll pick you up. ;)' The brunette woman just rolled her eyes with a shake of her head before staring at that winking face, considering his offer. She asked herself, would it be a date?

"Ma'am!" An officer bursts through her office. She quickly clicked off of the email David sent her before giving the guy in uniform a cold stare. She realizes the frightened look on his face and scrunched her brows. "It's Sadie Sink. Some guy called and says he found her bloody and screaming and half naked on the corner of Yellow Brick road and Powder street." He explains quickly. Detective Ryder quickly stood up before grabbing her coat and running out the door to go investigate.

The red head was hysterical, crying and screaming in the middle of the road. She couldn't form words though, she just physically couldn't. Everybody watched her and read what was on her skin. It wasn't until the cops came that everyone slowly fled the scene to make way. Winona hopped out of a police car and ran over to the teenager in the street to see if she was okay. "Sadie, I'm detective Ryder. I work with children and young adults. Can you tell me what's wrong." The woman spoke calmly as she held Sadie's head in her lap.

Sadie couldn't speak. Why couldn't she speak? Why can she only scream? The detective realized why when she looked into her bloody mouth and saw that most of her tongue had been cut out. Winona was absolutely mortified and had no idea what to do. The paramedics hadn't arrived yet. She just held onto Sadie and told her that everything was gonna be okay. "Don't worry, Sadie. An ambulance is on it's way, I can hear it, do you hear it? They're gonna take you to the hospital and clean you up and then you can tell me-...we can try to communicate on what happened to you." The red head just kept screaming as police officers put up police tape everywhere.

After hours and cleaning up Sadie Sink, taking pictures of her body for evidence and doctors trying to get to her mother, Winona could finally sit down with the red head with a pen and paper. "Sadie, I cannot imagine what you have gone through these past few days. Just know that the whole time that you were gone, I have been looking for you." The teen grabbed the pen and furiously wrote, showing the detective the note. 'Well you obviously have not been looking hard enough!' The brunette woman shook her head.

"I know, but I've tried. This case was one of the weirdest and most difficult children's cases I've ever dealt with, so I was just...grasping at the air on this one for something that could lead me to you," Sadie fidgets with the fabric of her hospital gown and let out a very deep exhale through her nose. "But now you're here. I have you here and you can tell me everything that's happened. You can help me find some people." Sadie grabbed her pen again and wrote down two names. 'Millie Brown and Finn Wolfhard.' Winona recognized those names and glanced up at Sadie. "Those are your attackers?" The red head nods.

Winona stares at the name Millie Brown written on paper and shook her head. She couldn't believe that sweet girl would do anything like ruining a girl's body. "Are you sure that Millie Brown had something to do with this?" The detective asked for reassurance, not sure if she could really believe that Millie could have done something like this. Sadie gave her a look like the detective was stupid before jotting down her thoughts. 'She wrote every word that you see on me into my skin and cut my tongue out while her boyfriend held my mouth open with this strange contraption. They're fucking psychos.' Winona read that and started to take her own little notepad out to make notes on their conversation. "So Finn Wolfhard is Millie Brown's boyfriend? Is that what you said?"

Sadie nods as detective Ryder wrote that all down. "Are you aware that Finn Wolfhard, at the very young age of eight years old, killed his foster father and his mistress and could not be found after the crime?" The red head does recall the night they met. Their pillow talk consisted of Finn talking about how he went after his dad with a knife, but she didn't think that he killed him. Sadie wrote and slipped the note to Winona. 'Two years ago, after we first met at the local roller rink, he took me to a motel so we could have sex. After the sex he asked me if I've ever hurt anybody and I told him yes then asked if he's ever hurt anybody and he told me that he's attacked his dad with a knife. I didn't think he had killed anybody, I just thought he was a rebel.'

"So he's bragged about his crimes to you," detective Ryder sighs out as she reads over Sadie's story again and realized something. She had realized that a question Finn Wolfhard has asked her is if she had ever hurt anybody. Sadie had. Another thing she realized was when she found Sadie in the street that morning and while taking pictures of her body for evidence, the word rapist was written into her skin. Could Sadie be a rapist? Is that why Finn Wolfhard and Millie Brown have kidnapped this young woman because she's raped somebody?

This case wasn't getting any easier on Winona. Instead of bringing that up, she just looked at Sadie silently with this look of disappointment and confusion. The red head sitting across from her looked at the floor to hide her watering eyes, knowing what the detective was thinking about. She grabbed her pen and wrote. 'I know what you're thinking about. I didn't mean to hurt her. I love her, but I'm also just so angry at her because she was just so ungrateful. She had a mom and dad, brothers and sisters, a nice house, good grades, friends. I bullied her because I wanted her to feel what I felt. I wanted her to hurt as bad as I did and I did it because I also liked her so fucking much that it was driving me crazy. I just wanted to be close to her.'

The note was disturbing and made Winona's gut have this pinching feeling from within. She couldn't believe what she had read. The sacrifice that Sadie made was truly helpful, but also so unnerving. "So...are you trying to tell me...that you raped Millie Brown?" Detective Ryder asked. Sadie could no longer look Winona in the eye, but she nods very slowly and sniffles as tears fall from her eyes. Winona could only shake her head before burying her head in her hands. This case just became a lot harder on Noni.

Why did it take me an hour to write this?

So...stuff is starting to become complicated in our story. Do you think Sadie is going to prison or not? Is Winona gonna find out what's happening?💉
