the next day my parents were back, we sat for breakfast as the TV was on, the police were finally able to catch the serial killer who targeted kids, she had managed to escape and hide in a small neighborhood  the reported kept talking, May looked at the TV and said look it's the old lady i looked as well, and dropped my mug, it's her, it's the old women, the killer was able to hide her latest bodies by hanging them in front of her house, as decorations, so no one suspected the woman.
