#Chapter 36

Handle Yourself

I sat on the steps of the bandstand just trying to get the image of Derek laying there out of my mind, why would somebody do that to another person? My head was being cradled by my arms as the many thoughts swirl around my head, worried my own father may end up like that if we don’t do exactly what Mario wants.

Mario did tell me I would be seeing Derek soon as his usefulness has come to an end, I had no idea that would mean he would kill Derek and dump his body for me to find! What kind of present was that?! I know I kept repeating that whatever Mario was going to give me wouldn’t be nice, but not a part of me thought I would walk into that!

My mothers team had cornered off the entire park, most of them inspecting the scene with Derek, while others were searching around the park in hopes Mario had dropped something which will point them in the right direction.
