Night Of The Demons 2.5

Part Four: A Family Reunion

Its lunch back at Hull house and the workers have never been so grateful. Their minds are racing thinking about their fallen coworker, and their bodies are unusually tired. Everyone has complained about feeling drained since they got here this morning, and no amount of coffee seems to help. Paul the manager of the group, calls all of his men over for a quick conversation. "Guys I know yesterday was a horrible event, and I know we are all worn out today, but we have just a few days left and the quicker we work the quicker we get out of here." They all look around at each other and nod in agreement. "Ok Julian I want you and Les to examine the damage in the basement and let me know what we need to get done down there." Paul says while staring at a clipboard. Everyone else resume what you were doing. Paul nudges Les and they head towards the house.

Les is the youngest on the construction crew. He just got out of school this past summer, but due to his fresh knowledge and his great references he got the job the same day he applied. As him and Julian walk through Hull house eerie sounds fill the corridors. Creaking boards, wind, and out of nowhere a sinister laugh. Les turns around as quick as he can but he sees nothing. Paul laughs and says "You aren't scared are you?". Les collects himself and says "Nah, I'm good." He really wasn't good but he didn't want Julian to know and make fun of him with all the other guys on the crew. He knew the legends of hull house before he accepted the job. In fact he had a closer connection to hull house than anyone knew, his cousin was none other than Shirley, the mischievous party girl with a mean streak. He has never been super close with her as she never thought he was cool enough to hang with, while she was out partying and dabbling in drugs and alcohol, Les was at home playing with his computer designing buildings. He always had dreams of being an architect and he thought that by working in construction he could get a better understanding of how to design a great building and by learning from the inside how structures work , he thinks he will be ahead of his class when he attends architectutal college next year. The last time he seen Shirley was about two months before she got sent to St Rita's. Their family had a end of summer barbecue where the whole entire family showed up. Shirley wasn't there for the first hour. The family was all laughing and having a good time when they hear a loud motorcycle. It whips through the backyard and there is Shirley on the back. She was hanging off of some guy who looked double her age. She got off the motorcycle fixed her sunglasses, flipped her hair and adjusted the leather jacket that was about 3 sizes too big for her. "Good afternoon Family. What did I miss?" She pulls out a cigarette and lights it in the middle of the yard. The family looks on in disgust. Her mother walked up to her, grabbed her wrist and said. "You're high again aren't you?" Shirley snatches her wrist away from her mother. "What if I am?" She looked around and everyone was staring at her in silence. "Enjoying the show everyone?" She walked over to her great aunt and put a cigarette out on her plate. She bent down and said, "hey aunt Bea, did u miss me?" Her aunt snarled her nose at her in disgust. What her aunt hadn't realized is she had stolen her keys when she bent down to talk to her. The guy that brung her on his motorcycle had left by now. Her mother was completely appalled and told her that "she was not welcome if she was gonna act like this she had to leave." so Shirley said "Fuck You!" And left towards the front lawn. After a minute they all heard tires screeching and a loud boom. They ran out front to find Aunt Bea's car crashed against tree, and a disoriented Shirley getting out of the car laughing. That was the last straw for Shirley's mom. The police arrested her and a few days later a judge gave her family the option of going to juvenile detention a few hours away or a spot at St Rita's academy for troubled teens which was just the next town over. Her mother chose that option as she felt the religious environment would do her some good, but her mother didn't know that during the short time she spent there it didn't help her at all, it made her want to act out even more. But now her cousin Les has has came to Hull house to investigate what happened to his cousin. The public had always been told that all the slain bodies had been identified at both Hull house massacres, but Les knew different, he knew there were two bodies that were never found, one from 1988, and one from 1994, and Shirley was the one from 1994.
