Night Of The Demons 2.5

Part Two: A Familiar Headline

October 28, 1996 as residents of the town awaken to their morning coffee, something else has grabbed their attention. The headline of today's newspaper not only in this town but across the next two counties as well. "Hull House Strikes Again!" The words boldly on display, while some residents glance at the title and skip over it. Some people find it closer to home than others.

As Judy Cassidy walks down stairs to start her day, she cant help but notice the horror on her husband Ben's face as he watches the news. "Honey what's wrong?" She asked concerned because she has never seen him with this kind of look on his face. "I think you better sit down." He says while motioning her toward the couch. She walks over and sits down, Ben grasps Judys hand as the TV anchor says words she wish she'd never have to hear again. "Hull house has claimed its latest victim!" The beautiful blonde TV anchor said. As she explained what happened the day before Judy can feel herself sinking into the couch, she is struggling to breathe, she is sure she is having a panic attack. "Its never gonna be over is it?" She asks her husband with tears streaming down her eyes. He grabs her and holds her tight. "I've gotta call Rodger!" Judy jumps up and runs to her rotary phone. She knows the number by heart, she starts dialing so fast shes afraid it couldn't keep up with her. After two rings Rodger picks up. Before she even got anything out of her mouth, Rodger had already said "I've been waiting for you to call!" She grabs her head as if she is in disbelief, "It's happening again, it's never gonna stop." She has slid down the wall and is now sitting on the floor. "After the last time I thought they were gonna tear it down." Rodger says referring to the events two years prior when Angela's sister Melissa and a group of kids visited Hull house. "I thought by moving I'd never have to hear about Hull house again." Judy sobs. "I have no fight left in me Rodge, I cant do this again!" She is sobbing harder than ever now. A year after her night in Hull house she and her family moved an hour away, to get her away from the place that caused so much trauma. "I don't think that place will ever leave any of us alone." Rodger says as he looks down at a handmade card in his hand, it says. "Come back Rodger we miss you, Love Angela." It is signed in blood and has dead bugs all over it, it looks exactly like the card Angela's parent had received the day they committed suicide. Rodger didn't bother telling Judy about the card, he knew it would make her more hysterical. He simply said "I'll be praying for you. I love you Jude! Judy wiping tears from her eyes, "I love you too Rodge." Judy hung up the phone, stood up wiped her face with the back of her hand. She gave her husband a kiss and told him that she loved him, she walked to the front door, she paused, she then stepped outside and walked straight into traffic . She was dead as soon as the first car hit her. Her husband heard the commotion and ran outside he grabs her and hugs her as tight as he can, he is crying so hysterically. "No, why, Judy don't leave me, please don't leave."

Rodger unaware of what just happened figures he needs to make a phone call to someone just as important to him as Judy. Rodger picks up the phone, dials the number, it rings 4 times and when the person on the other end answers Rodger says, "Yes may I speak with Sister Gloria please?".

Rodger grew up his entire life in church. His father was a preacher and from a young age he was taught how to pray, how to preach, and how important God was in their lives.. After the events of Hull House, Rodger to the dismay of his dad dropped out of school, and begun studying all about the catholic religion. Rodger figured that since he knew for a fact demons were real, he could become a priest and study how to exorcise demons. Due to his personal experiences his training went by fast, he was able to answer questions that priests who had studied for over 40 years didn't even know the answers to. He quickly became one of the most popular priests, and it seemed like every week he was having to pray over someone who was believed to be possessed. None of the people who had called him had actually been possessed, but he thought they could use his prayers all the same. This is when Rodger met Sister Gloria they met at a church function and they became great friends right away. After getting all of his studies of Catholicism was done, Sister Gloria convinced Rodger to go back to school and come teach at St Rita's academy. It was a school that housed troubled kids, Sister Gloria showed him around the school and once he met Father Bob who ran the school for troubled teens Rodger knew that this is the place that God wanted him to come to, and that he had an even big purpose in life now.
