Chapter 09: Righting the wrongs

Jamal's POV

"Are you with K.C right now??"

The sound of dad's voice is scary, where is he going??

"No, why??" I asked

"Do you know where she is??" What is he thinking??

" No, dad what's going on??"

"She's snooping around too much, she needs to be taught a lesson"

" Dad, wait!" Buh the line had already gone dead

" It's a good thing I know where to find K.C through her cellphone" I scrolled through my phone and searched for her location

" Merissa's house??" What's she doing there?? Oh No Dad's headed there and would be there right now

" I can't let him kill the first person I've ever had feelings for" I picked up my jacket and ran out through the door into my car

******************

"I hope am not late"

"Jamal??" I turned around and saw Kira

"Woah, Kira what happened to you??" I hugged her

" Nothing really, just needed to get away for some time" she replied and looked around

" What are you doing in this neighborhood??" I looked at Merissa's house and smiled nervously

"Ahhhhhhhh" I heard the groan of someone

K.C. oh no I'm too late

"What are you doing??" I grabbed Kira and placed my lips on hers as I saw my dad passing by.

"What the heck dude??" She wiped her lips

" I'm sorry" I replied and ran to the house

" K.C??!!!"

She looked up at me and smiled before passing out.

"Kira come help me!" I lifted her up from the ground

" Come the car door!" I yelled as I ran towards the car

" Merissa, Merissa's still inside" I ran into the house and touched her wrist for any pulse. Okay she's just unconscious

I lifted her up and took her to the car

"Get us stretchers!" I yelled as I ran into the hospital

" What happened??" A nurse asked as others had brought stretchers and carried them into the hospital

" They were attacked" I replied and I ran with them into the emergency room

"I'm sorry but you have to wait outside" a nurse said before closing the door

This is all my fault, why did I support my dad's evil act inhe first place, I'm so stupid!

*******************

2½ hours later

"Doctor, how is she??" I ran towards the doctor who walked into the emergency room with the nurses earlier

"She's stable, good thing she didn't have any internal bleeding, the blinds lady on the other hand is in coma for now" he smiled and walked away

I was happy but sad for Merissa as well...

"Am I free to go in??" I asked a nurse

"She'll be transferred to a ward very soon mister" she smiled and looked back at her computer

"There she is" I followed the nurses into a ward

" We'll wake up probably by tomorrow" she told me and l nodded

I put my head down beside her on the bed

"How's she doing??" Kira walked in holding a bag

" She's stabilising according to the doctor" I raised my head

" Merissa??"

" She's in a coma" I replied looking at K.C's hand

" I brought you food" she handed me the bag

" Thanks Kira"

" How did you know where she was??" She looked at me closely

" I guess I should come clean now" I sniffed

" The killer is my father" I put my head down

" What??!" She looked at me closely

"Then why is he going after college students??"

" He thinks they are responsible for the death of my sister"

" Nancy" we said it at the same time

" You knew??"

"I know about her death but no one knew exactly how she died"

" I have been thinking they were responsible too till recently" I bowed my head

" I only did it because it felt like that was all I could do for my baby sister"

" I helped him because I thought I would be covering all the time I never had with her" a year dropped from my eye

" It's okay, she hugged me"

"Let it all out".
