| Chapter 15 � 9:09am September 28th (Chrissy�s POV) �I can�t wait,� I said to Crystal. �I want to go back to work so badly. I can�t wait to start again.� �I know,� Crystal said. �I can�t wait to have these 2 playing again.� �Those bruises have gone away,� I said. �I don�t know where they came from but they haven�t been there since Brandon was born.� �Good,� Crystal said taking Brandon in her arms and lying him down in the playpen. �Stephanie still has them.� �Wonder why,� I asked. �Is she still playing at Scott�s house?� �Of course,� Crystal said. �Scott doesn�t let a day pass when he is playing with her.� �Oh,� I said. �I have to go, can�t be late on my first day back.� �That would be bad,� Crystal said as she gave me a hug and wished me luck. �See you tonight.� �Okay,� I said. �Bye bye bye.� (Crystal�s POV) Chrissy no more then pulled down the road and Scott was outside my door. �Can the girls come play this morning,� Scott asked. �I haven�t seen Danielle in a long time.� �No,� Danielle said. �No play time.� �Maybe tomorrow,� I said. �I�m sorry Scott.� �Okay,� Scott said getting angry. �How about just Stephanie?� �No,� I said shutting the door. �Sorry.� He was so persistent on taking the girls away everyday. I also didn�t know what Danielle meant when she said playtime. Whatever it was, it was scary for her. I went upstairs and went into my bedroom where Zack was sleeping in his crib. I got the tape that I hadn�t got to watch yet. �Here girls,� I said handing them some dry cereal. �Eat up.� I sat down on the couch with the Brandon in my arms. The tape was in the VCR and rewinding. Lance had taped my favorite movie on �Lifetime� and I was going to watch it. The VCR stopped and I pushed play. �A man escaped from the Georgia State Jail last year. He was arrested on the charges of Child molesting and kidnapping. He killed a little 5-year-old girl in Alabama in 1999. He has kidnapped up to 12 girls in 3 years. Only 10 of the girls were rescued. He is now on the run again. His name is Hank Troy. He may go by any of these names: Steven Deeds, Anthony Hicks, or Scott Thomas. Please contact your local police if you have any information about this case. He is dangerous,� The host said. �Please help solve this case.� Lance had said that it was Scott and I didn�t believe him at all. I didn�t even pay attention. �Girls,� I said. �I don�t want you to play with Scott again. He is dangerous.� �Mommy,� Stephanie asked, �Can we go play ball?� �Sure,� I said giving in to her precious little face. She looks so much like Lance. �Stay in our yard.� �We will,� Danielle said. �Bye.� (JC�s POV) �Dude,� I said. �What are we going to do?� �About what,� Chris asked throwing a piece of bread at Justin. �What are you talking about?� �About lunch,� Joey said. �Obviously! I�m starving. Who�s buying today?� �YOU,� We all yelled at Joey the same time. �Oh,� Joey said. �Sorry.� �JC,� Justin asked. �What are you talking about?� �We have to start planning for our tour,� I said. �It is coming up in like 2 months. We have a lot of planning and work to do.� �We have a tour coming up,� Lance asked. He got up and moved to the window of Johnny�s house. �When did this get voted on? Where the hell was I?� �Lance,� I said standing up going over to where he stood. �What�s wrong? You know you where one of the first to vote on it.� �Crystal,� Lance said. �It�s my family.� �What happened,� I asked hugging him. �What happened? We are all here for you.� �Stephanie,� Lance began as he pulled away from my grip. �Stephanie has all those bruise�s. She has a doctors appointment in a few days and she�� �She still has those,� Chris asked. �Danielle doesn�t have those anymore.� �What will the doctors say,� Lance asked. �What if they take my kids away? What will happen?� (Chrissy�s POV) I was so glad to be back and working again. �Okay,� I said to Mary, a patient. �I will see you next week and remember to work on those feelings.� �I will,� Mary said smiling. She was 20 years old. Her husband had just cheated on her with her mother and her best friend just died in a plane crash. �Poor woman.� I thought. I finished the paperwork on her that I had to do and I had about 25 minutes until I had another patient. I decided to call Crystal and find out how the kids were doing. *Ring�Ring�Ring* There was no answer so I decided to leave a message. �Crystal,� I began. �This is Chrissy. I just wanted to call and find out how the kids were doing. Give Danielle and Brandon a kiss for me. Call me if ya get a chance. Bye bye bye.� I hung up the phone with a worried feeling in the pit of my stomach. |
