The Homeless Santa

The Homeless Santa Chapter Six: That Fatal Night

Kit and Desire soon overheard the sound of the door leading into the area opening up causing the both of them to look over, as Nicholas came into view entering into the area- carrying a bag with him, with Kit looking over at Desire who shook her head, as she added.

"Can you ask him to meet you somewhere more private?... I mean this is, after all, a homeless shelter...if someone comes in I don't want people to think bad of the guy." And with this Kit nodded, as she added.

"Meet me in my office in about five minutes, okay?." And with this, she began to approach Nicholas with Desire appearing concerned wondering if Nicholas really was the person who was running from the law, was he really the person who had killed his wife and child? what about his sister and so on, but she tried not to dwell too much on it- she tried to tell herself she was going to get the answers she wanted soon, hopefully with Nicholas telling her his story, his FULL story.

================================================

"You're kidding me.." Nicholas's voice was heard, as the visualization soon changed to that of an office looking room- with a desk, some shelves, and photographs seen hanging on the walls that were painted purple looking, behind the desk was a window showing the world outside, but this didn't seem to concern Nicholas who was seen sitting on the other side of the desk on a wooden looking chair, while Kit came into view sitting across from him behind the desk, as Desire was seen standing close by Kit.

"....That's what we found out, so is that you?" Desire asked as Kit gave her a bit of a look, while Nicholas looked towards Kit then towards Desire; as he shook his head, and soon lowered his head.

"......I-Is that a yes?" Kit asked with some shock it seemed, with Nicholas nodding his head; as he sighed deeply before he soon added.

"....I wasn't driving under the influence that day...at least...not by choice.."

"What do you mean?" Desire asked with some shock it seemed, as Nicholas shook his head.

"...That story is mine ...okay?... I did drive under the influence with my wife and son in the car...and I did kill them in the crash, and everything ..the whole story you read YES, alright? that's mine...that's me.."

"But you said you weren't driving under the influence that day by choice, I mean how does that make any sense?.." Kit asked, as Nicholas shook his head and soon added.

"....I know how this story is going to sound.." He muttered to himself it seemed, as Kit and Desire could see he was starting to get a bit tearful- before he soon added.
