Sheriff Burke looked through the window of Katherine Prescott's room, seeing Sidney and Neil sitting by her bedside, waiting for her to wake up.
Katherine was unresponsive to anyone as she was suspected of being in shock when she arrived at the hospital until she became hysterical and had to be sedated.
Sheriff Burke sighed, very much needing a cigarette. He had taken statements from Dewey, Sidney, and Randy Meeks. He ran a hand through his thinning grey hair.
Guilt hit him hard when he heard that it was, in fact, Billy Loomis who had orchestrated this murder spree, and they had him but let him go.
"Sir?" Sheriff Burke turned to see Dewey and another officer walking up to him. "Dewey, shouldn't you be resting."
Dewey smiled sadly but shook his head. "I've rested enough."
The other officer coughed as he held a piece of paper in his hand. "Sheriff, this is the list of casualties from the house."
The sheriff nodded. "Thanks, Larry" the younger officer nodded and walked away, patting Dewey on the should as he goes.
Sheriff Burke looks at the list. "Okay, so, Kenny Jones, who was Ms. Weathers Cameraman, Billy Loomis, and Tatum Ri..."
Sheriff Burke looked up to see Dewey with tears in his eyes, "Dewey, I'm sorry for your loss."
Dewey shook his head, feeling tears running down his face. "My mom is hysterical. I don't know what to do" The younger man wiped his tears away, trying to remember the happier times of his younger sister.
"It says here that she was found on the floor of the Macher's garage covered in a sheet?" Dewey nodded sadly, remembering when they found Tatum, "but when I interviewed Sidney, she told me she found her hanging from the pet flap in the garage door?".
Dewey felt a little sick; he never knew how his sister had died, but they had told him her head had been crushed by something powerful, and her neck was snapped. He couldn't imagine the terror she felt.
"So somebody moved her?" Dewey whispered to Sheriff Burke, who nodded shortly. "Sidney told me it was her and Katherine who found her, but Katherine made her run to safety...".
Sheriff Burke looked through the window again at the battered and bruised body of Katherine Prescott. "That girl there saved lives and helped people even when she was in danger."
The sheriff cleared his throat, looking at the paper again, and stopped, shocked, "Did you not recover Stuart Macher's body?"
Dewey looked startled too. "Sidney said she killed him with a blow to the head in self-defense," Sheriff Burke explained to the younger man.
"So he's still alive and out there?" Dewey muttered in shock. "Should we tell them?" he asked, nodding to the family in the room.
Sheriff Burke shook his head slowly. "He'd be long gone by now... No, we'll keep this strictly confidential" Dewey nodded unsurely but nodded anyway. Looking back through the window, he noticed the bedridden girl starting to stir.
