said.
“What are we gonna do dad?”
“Where’s your mom?”
“She’s at home. She was all freaked out so she took one of her sleeping pills and went to bed.”
“Oh, well probably just as well. She doesn’t handle stress too well.”
“I know.”
“So did all the cops here leave?” He asked.
“Yeah, except for this guy. Not sure what is going on unless they found those attackers from earlier.”
“Ok, let’s wrap this up,” the officer said. “I could get in trouble if anyone finds you back here.”
“It’s ok,” her dad said. “Go home. Keep an eye on your mom. When they get back I’ll ask for my phone call, ok?”
“Ok dad. I love you.”
“Love you too honey.” They touched hands again as he sat back down.
Laura followed the officer out of the detention area. As he walked her back to the front of the station, there was a little girl standing just inside the main door.
“Is she with you?” The officer asked.
“No,” Laura said as she approached the girl. The girl was small, maybe five or six years old. She had long blonde hair and was wearing a dress with flower patterns. Laura walked over to her and knelt down.
“Are you ok?” Laura asked. “What is your name?”
“Cynthia,” the girl said.
“Hi Cynthia. Where are your parents?”
“I don’t know. I can’t find them. I got scared so I came here.”
Laura looked over at the officer who looked like someone just asked him to split the atom. He was shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head.”
“Can you find my mommy and daddy?” Cynthia asked.
“Um, I guess we can try?” Laura said as she stood.
“Hey kid,” the officer said. “Can you sit down over there for me until I can call someone who can help?”
Cynthia just stood there staring at them both.
“Kid? Did you hear me?”
“How about I rip your cock off and fuck your ass with it!” Cynthia screamed. Her face instantly distorted as she jumped onto the counter in one leap. She grabbed a letter opener from behind the desk and began stabbing herself in the crotch with it. “Oh yeah! Fuck that pussy! Fuck that pussy good!” With each thrust, there was more blood and chunks of flesh clinging to the letter opener as she pulled it away.
The officer pulled his gun and aimed it at the girl, but Laura chopped his arm, knocking the gun out of his hand. The gun went off, firing a shot into the base of the counter as Laura grabbed the girl, trying to pull the letter opener away. The girl hissed at her and spit in her face as she screamed.
“Let go of me you cunt! Let me fuck your rotten pussy!”
Laura backed away as the officer clocked the girl in the face with his baton. The girl tumbled to the floor but jumped back to her feet. He jumped on top of her, holding her down as she struggled. Laura watched as the kid almost overpowered the full grown man.
“Help me!” He said. “Grab the duct tape behind the counter. Let’s tape her up, handcuffs won’t fit her.”
Laura grabbed the tape and ran over to them. The girl’s eyes were red, almost bloodshot looking. Her face was cracked, with blood oozing from each split in her skin. Laura knelt down and began wrapping the tape around Cynthia’s arms. She wondered if this was what the attackers from earlier in the day were acting like. If grown adults were in this same condition, they were all in big trouble.
Chapter 7
T ed stood up while Hernandez continued throwing up. He walked around the squad car and looked at the woman’s torso in his front seat. About thirty feet behind the car were her legs. Hitting the pole had ripped her in half.
“Jesus Christ.” Ted mumbled as he walked back around the front of his car. Hernandez was gone.
“Assistant Chief?” Ted called out. “Where’d you go?”
Ted heard a scream behind him. He spun around and Hernandez leaped onto the roof of Ted’s car. However, he didn’t look like Hernandez anymore. Apart from the uniform, he looked more like the one armed
