Chapter 02

Currently Leticia was sitting in the lounge at the police precinct that her father used to work at. She simply sat on the bench staring at nothing. At first she was questioned but after she remained silent the officers decided not to push it. Every now and then she would look at the weird rabbit on her shoulder but it would just sniff in one direction then turn one way and start sniffing again. Outside the room were some guys that Leticia knew. They came to her house quite often to hang out with her father. Ted and jones always showed up on football sunday and every now and then on any other day. They were trying to figure out what they should do with Leticia.

" We can't just set her up in a hotel until her relatives get here! Just look at her, she obviously saw what happened!* - ted

" I know that but what else can we do? If we send her to a hospital she will either end up drugged out or be sent to a mental institution! And don't you dare say one of us should take her in! A grown single man watching over a young woman is not right.* - jones

* Well what's wrong with letting her stay with one of us! We saw her grow up to who she is and I don't know about you but she is like a little sister to me! Right now she needs to be with someone who she is close too and if we wait the 3 days it takes for her relatives to get here then who knows what that will do to her mind!* - ted

* Alright fine! We can take her to your place. It's bigger than mine anyway. But i'm staying with you.* - jones

* What's wrong? It's like you don't trust me.* - ted

* What I don't trust is the scenario of a single guy with a very vulnerable young woman in the same house ALONE!!!* - jones

* Alright jeez. I can have you stay on the coach while she takes the guest bedroom.* - ted

* I thought you had two guest rooms?* - jones

* Oh yeah, that room is under construction.* - ted

Just before he opened the door he snickered then his face quickly turned serious. He turned the handle and entered the room. Even though the lights are on the atmosphere made the room look dim. Leticia was still staring off into nothing. Jones went over to her and knelt down on front of her.

* Leticia for now it has been decided that you will be in my and teds care for a while. Now I know you were asked this a lot in interrogation but please, can you tell us who did this?* - jones

Upon hearing the familiar voice Leticia looked up. Seeing the faces of the men she's known for most of her life she came back to her senses a little. At first she just stared at them. After a couple of minutes ted and jones tried repeating their question. This time she was able to register the question. She began to think about what she saw through the window. 

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

She saw the bodies of her brothers and mother. Her father being tortured while strapped to a chair. Then she focused on the men who did this. She remembered their clothes but their faces were fuzzy. Her brain received a huge impact by what she saw that she was blocking out what they looked like. Whether she was doing this subconsciously or counsciously will forever be a mystery. But she does remember the scar on Joseph's face. His body guard. The cop with his uniform. Witch stake in his red full body coat with cowboy boots and black gloves with the occasional small fire ball appearing above them. After remembering these details she began to speak.

* Thug... cop... normal... super.* - leticia

Upon hearing her they thought for a while before realizing she was describing who she saw. Her answer puzzled ted and jones. She basically named off opposites. The normal was the biggest enigma. The other 3 could help to formulate a theory but a normal person being there doesn't make much sense.

* Leticia could you please be more specific.* - ted

But Leticia simply repeated herself.

* Thug... cop... normal... super.* - Leticia

Ted and jones looked at each other and realized they shouldn't keep this up.

* It's okay, you don't have keep trying. Come on Leticia you need some rest.* - ted

He held out his hand towards her which she took after a couple of seconds. While leaving the building a shadowy figure was watching them leave with a peircing gaze. When they got outside the noon sun was hanging high in the sky. Leticia was brought to jones car while ted went to his. During the ride Leticia was staring at nothing while the rabbit was dancing around in a pink tutu.

* 1 hour later *

At ted's place Leticia was in the guest room lying on a bed. Her eyes were wide open while she kept thinking about those 4 men. Their faces were getting blurrier and blurrier but the clothes that made them look like that stuck out further and further. Thug, cop, normal, super was repeated over and over in her head. She began to hate these groups. Every second the thought was repeated her hatred grew. 

* You know it's okay to make them pay.* - bunny

Leticia looked at the bunny that until now was silent.

* What do you mean make them pay?* - Leticia 

* I mean as I said, make them pay. You could harass them or steal from them or even better... kill them.* - bunny

* WHAT?! Kill them... but I can't do that!* - Leticia

* And why not? They killed your family. Even went as far as torture your father. Why can't you do the same back to them?* - bunny

* But it isn't what daddy wanted, he wanted me to be a good girl.* - Leticia 

* Yeah you are a good girl and look what it got you. You could still be with them if they hadn't taken them from you. * - bunny

* But...* - Leticia 

* Aah I get it. It's the cop isn't it. Just because your dad was a good guy cop doesn't mean that rest are good you know.* - bunny

* Daddy always said fighting and killing is wrong. He said he wanted to stop all that.* - Leticia

* Then look at those stupid high and mighty supers. The villians have stolen tons of items and taken many lives. While the the heroes show up a little later to fight the villians. Most of the time buildings are knocked down because of these fights. Look at the thugs. You have seen the pictures your father brought home so you know how horrible they can be.* - bunny

* ...You may be right. But that doesn't mean I will start killing them and besides you didn't make a case for the normal people. * - Leticia 

* Oh but they are the worst of all. How many husbands ignore or beat their wives. How many wives cheat or steal from their husbands. There are also the perverts with sick fetishes that act on them and hurt their victim in the process. While the kids are just the next batch of such people.* - bunny

Leticia began to think. While she continued to think the bunny kept whispering into her ear how evil and disgusting people are. Soon she began to think the bunny is right.

Out in the living room ted and jones were drinking some scotch. They were paying a silent tribute to their dead friend and his family. They were completely oblivious to the changes happening to Leticia. After a couple of drinks they finally decided to stop and discuss what Leticia meant with her answer. They wrote down the words she said on a piece of paper and tried to figure out their meaning.

A couple of hours later and they had three pages of guesses on what those 4 words meant.

* Maybe we should just ask her again.* - jones

* I think your right.* - ted

As they were about to head to Leticia's room outside the front door there was a group of people with pistols ready. Most look like hoodlums but one looked a lot like a cop. The cop held up his hand showing 5 fingers. Then 4... 3... 2... 1.
