Chapter 16

A few months had passed since the diagnosis. Mr. Knight was bedridden at this point. He was coughing up so much blood. There was no one to call. He always said he didn't have any family besides me and my children. I was in a chair beside his bed. I had been so focused on him being sick. I didn't have time to worry about myself.

The kids had been doing really well. Thomas has gotten back to his normal self. I had been so grateful for that. He had been a big help with Mr. Knight. The past had not been brought back up again. Jack had been a thing of the past. Praying he finally figured out to leave us alone.

I got up from the chair since Dad, well that's what I had been calling him slept. I walked to the front door to get the paper. The first thing I saw when I picked up the paper was there was another killing on the other side of town.
