Boogeyman (Otis X Reader, Sheriff Wydell X Reader)

BREAKING NEWS!

At long last, the missing wife of Sheriff John Quincy Wydell has been found. Officers located the woman late last night, in the Kahiki Palms motel just outside of Ruggsville. She was shaken, understandably, but was seemingly unharmed. It wasn't until a trip to the hospital that the extent of her injuries was revealed. It would seem that in order to take revenge on the sheriff for hunting them, the criminals took to torturing his wife, leading to her understandable, though tragic, mental breakdown. Security camera footage from the hospital shows her yelling at and even attempting to attack her husband, calling out instead for one Otis Driftwood. Otis Driftwood, as we know, is one of the three 'Devil's Rejects' murderers, therefore one of her tormentors, and yet it is his name she unmistakably cries. No statement has been issued from the sheriff, so there are no real theories regarding this. The logical answer provided by hospital staff, however, is Stockholm syndrome. It would appear that the criminal forced or tricked the woman in some way into loving him, or at least believing she does. John appears rightfully upset and outraged at this in these published photos from the scene. The police, led by the newly motivated sheriff, are closer than ever to catching these devils. Will the sheriff and his wife receive the justice they deserve? Will Mrs. Wydell heal past what was done to her? Time will tell. In the meantime...
