-18 pm: The home in bloom (Waverly and Nicole's house)

The night had already fallen when the car parked in front of the house, a few steps away from their renovated barn, it was used as a storage and guest room during summertimes. A gentle, cool wind passed by and soothed the people of Purgatory after the scorching heat of the summer days. Nicole and Waverly just came back after their long day and a local grocery shopping trip. As soon as the light went down on the horizon, Julia had fallen asleep peacefully in the back of the car. Nicole turned to face her wife and whispered: 

"Should we wake her? Cause if she changes her nap's schedule, she'll be sleepy tomorrow and it's her birthday..."

Before Waverly answered, a long yawn sounded behind them. 

"I guess the sleepyhead woke up for the magic word!" exclaimed Waverly while turning around "Hey cutie, we're finally home..."

*BOOM* A resounding noise froze the three girls on the spot. After a second, Julia burst into tears. Waverly immediately tried to calm her down while glancing anxiously to Nicole who had already picked up her gun. "No no shhh baby, it's okay, we're okay, see, listen to mama waves, look at me, shhh breath, it's okay baby..."

Nicole stated calmly: "It came from the barn, lock the doors, I'll be back"

" Hey, No Nicole, wait..." but The Sheriff's door just closed silently behind her. 

Waverly turned around, she was trying her best not to frighten Julia but struggled to take her out of her seat with shaky hands. When she finally pulled her against her body, she took a breath, opened the door, and ran without looking back. She locked the door of their house and bent down on the carpet far away from the windows. Still holding to her precious angel, she started singing softly.  

Nicole cocked her gun and *clack clack* resonated through the silent land. 

So, there's the fight, losing memory, the creepy monster at the station, homophobic b**ch, and NOW parents are coming... Please, can I have one bit of luck now? Just one? 

She put her hat down on the floor when she reached the barn. Not a movement, not a sound, not a breath, wasn't meant to be. She was really well trained, the best at this, but the thought of something happening to Julia went through her body like a shiver. She slowly pushed the door with her gun, her two hands on it. A drop of sweat came to tickle her eyelid but she didn't move a muscle. She made the piece of wood open a little more, everything was dark inside, but she didn't need to see. She built this place, she knew every inch of it. The smell of sweat and blood hit her in the face and a bad feeling started growing in her stomach. Her eyes quickly became accustomed to the dark and captured the only very faint source of light that managed to escape under the bathroom door. Coming from this door, she heard a muffled sound, like a boot touching a tile floor, the sound of a fly opening, the tune of a song hummed while peeing. She trusted her guts and decided to keep going before jumping on the intruder. She looked away from the light and walked a few steps to open the bedroom door. She almost choked on the scene. Two men were tied to chairs, face down, both trembling. When they lifted their heads at the sound of the door opening, a tear instinctively fell under Nicole's eye. Jeremy and Robin were there, their faces covered with bruises, their mouths bandaged, a broken vase scattered at their feet testified to their clever call for help. Immediately, the Sheriff took one hand off her gun, bent down, and tried to undo their restraints. As she finally managed to free Robin's feet and one of his hand, a sound in her back stopped her. *clack clack*. Nicole didn't have to look up, she knew the horrified look that had just appeared in her two friends' eyes. She knew the man behind her had a shotgun and smelled like bad whiskey. And when he opened his mouth, she had no doubt, he was a macho drunk and capable of torturing innocent people to prove it. Champ Hardy spit his cigarette near her and said:
