I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS


She rolled over in her bed, the white walls mimicked each other.
            “You can try to talk to her but she refuses to talk to any of us,” a nurse shrugged at the detective.
            “I need her information, even if it hurts to think about,” he walked into the room, knocking on the door.
            She had heard him but did nothing about it.
            “I’m Detective Will, I need to ask you some questions, is that okay?”
            “Whatever,” she mumbled.
            “I’m sure you’re sick of this by now,” he sat on the vacant bed next to hers.
            “I just want it to be over,” she wrapped the blanket around her.
            “You know he got another, right?” He glanced at her, noting how she presented herself.
            “He had him since the beginning,” she whispered, rocking back and forth.
            “What do you mean?”
            “He gets them after he starts getting bored of the one he’s got,” she sighed. “By the time you realize they’ve disappeared, he’s already made them his new victim.”
            “So that means—“
            “He’s got another one already, he has two or maybe three depending on how  he’s feeling.” She swallowed.
            “They’re missing and we don’t even know about it yet?” He started shaking.
            “You don’t ever realize what’s going on until it’s over,” She laid herself down.
            “I—There’s some research I’ve gotta do now,” he stood up.
            The poor girl jumped up instantly, ready to fight.
            “You’re fine, just stay calm and please talk to them, they’re here to help you,” he kneeled down next to her, carefully taking her hands. “Is there anything I can do for you before I leave?”
            “I never want to hear his name or see his face again,” her eyes were fierce and mean.
            “I’ll try my best,” he pulled her into a careful hug, knowing that she needed it.
