"We have two victims." He then he walked over to the counter and could see Lauren and Alexis with their eyes opened, but that was the only part of their bodies moving.
He recognized them right away.
"We have two officers down. Get an ambulance, now!" He shouted.
Lauren and Alexis lay in the hospital bed across from each other. The anesthetic drug in their systems had slowly worn off and they could move their limbs.
"It's finally over, Lauren. We got that bastard once and for all and the doctor said Vincent is going to be okay." Alexis stated.
Lauren turned her head and looked at her partner in the next bed. She opened her mouth to speak the words she know she shouldn't.
"I don't think it's over, Alexis. You heard what I heard. That voice that you could feel in your spine and I know you saw that white cloud with the face in it, like me."
Lauren replied.
"Yea, but shit girl, we can never talk about that or they will think we're crazy and we will lose our jobs. Besides we set his ass on fire, like Hedy said. So, it's over, no more talk of demons and nightmares." Alexis responded.
Lauren just shook her head in disagreement.
"No partner, I have a feeling it's just the beginning……"
THE S.N. KILLER II
It had been three months since Lauren and Alexis had solved the case of the S.N. Killer. Lauren, Alexis, and Lynise along with Dalisia sat at a table in a bar in Soho Manhattan drinking and laughing.
"Hey, I got some news you guys." Dalisia said.
"Well, come on, girl. What is it?" Alexis replied.
"Well, you know I consider y'all my girls and good friends now after Apple's murder." Dalisia said and lowered her head as the sadness over took her heart from the loss of her best friend.
Lauren put her arm around her shoulder.
"Girl, we know we can never replace the loss of your friend, but you don't have to just consider us as your friends, know we are!" Lauren stated.
"Yea, you better know we are." Alexis and Lynise said sarcastically.
Dalisia smiled from ear to ear.
"Well, the news I want to share is this. I'm joining the police academy. It's what I decided to do with my life after what happened to all those women. I want to help and it will give me a reason to hang out more with my bitches. And y'all can see if you can get me transferred to your unit when I graduate."
Alexis, Lauren and Lynise smiled.
"Now, that's a reason to celebrate." Alexis said and they all raised their glasses and took a drink.
An East Indian woman walked into the bar. Her body was covered from her neck to her ankles in a solid blue dress. She looked around the bar and spotted who she was searching for in a matter of seconds. She walked through the crowd of drunken people.
Lauren, Alexis, Lynise, and Dalisia looked up to see the woman in a blue dress standing in front of their table. Alexis's instincts told her something was wrong and she slowly moved her hand to the handle of her gun on her waist.
"Yes, can we help you miss?" Alexis asked with her left eyebrow raised.
"No, you can't help me. It's too late for me, but I can help her." The woman said and pointed at Lauren then dug into her purse.
"Hold up, no fast movements." Alexis said drawing her gun aiming it at the woman.
Lauren had to stare at the woman for over five minutes until she recalled where she knew her from.
"Oh shit," She mumbled as it hit her.
She placed her arm on Alexis making her lower her gun.
"This is Hedy's wife. Do you remember?" Lauren asked.
"Good, so you do remember me." The woman said as she pulled an old looking small book from her purse.
"This is for you. Hedy would have wanted you to have this." She said stretching out her arm to hand Lauren the book.
Lauren just stared at it as a terrified feeling went through her body and her stomach started to bubble up.
"What is it?" She asked in a nervous tone.
"Do you remember what Hedy told you about the cannibals of the Korowai tribe?
Well, in this book are the names of all of the East Indians that are part of that tribe that migrated here centuries ago. Hedy kept track of their families and the generations down the line." The woman stated.
"And why will she need that shit for? The case is over and done with." Alexis responded.
"You know why she does." The woman said and her arm began to shake from holding it out for so long waiting for Lauren to take the book.
Lauren looked the woman in her eyes and then at the book. She slowly reached for the book and studied it. The other three women tried to do the same looking at the old brown book in Lauren's hand. When they looked up from the book to the woman, she was gone.
"Where the hell did she go that fast?" Dalisia shouted exactly what they all were thinking.
"Fuck it, let's go back to drinking. We can't let any crazy woman ruin our night."
Alexis said causing all them to laugh and continue drinking.
Two hours later, Alexis pulled up to Lauren's building and looked at her and could tell she was deep in thought.
"Hey girl, don't stress that crazy woman. The case is over. I say you throw that damn old book in the trash where it belongs." Alexis said.
"Your right, Alexis, and that's what I'm going to do. I'll see you tomorrow."
Lauren said hugging Alexis and hopped out of the car and walked up to her building.
She sat on the edge of her bed holding the old book just staring at it.
"Fuck it." She said out loud and opened the book and began to read about the cannibals Korowai tribe and the names of all East Indians that migrated here.
One name stuck out to her.
"No, that can't be, it can't.”
The last name was similar to hers.
"No, he can't be my great, great grandfather.”
She dropped the book on to the floor then remembered Hedy's words.
'There's a reason why you keep having the nightmares.'
Lauren’s mouth opened up in shock from what she just read not too long ago.
Those who are descended of the cannibal Korowai tribe will always share a connection with the shadow demon and will feed in what are dreams, but not dreams.
"This is impossible. It can't be true!" She screamed then her head began to hurt and flashbacks of the nightmares played in her head, but they were different this time.
Instead of a man's hand that killed Anna and her husband and the lady in the Bronx it was a woman's hand, not just any woman hands, but hers.
"No!" She screamed and the flashbacks stopped.
She stood up feeling like the room was spinning. She walked into her kitchen and opened the refrigerator and poured herself a glass of water then she opened the freezer and took some ice out the ice tray. Something in the back of the freezer caught her eyes. A black plastic bag was stuffed way in the back behind frozen meat. She stuck her hand in and dug it out. She looked inside of it to see four Ziploc bags. She pulled one out and looked at it. Her stomach bubbled up and she fought back the feeling of wanting to vomit as she stared at a piece of meat, but on it was a Tweety Bird tattoo.
‘Hahaha! Now, you see the truth and it's now time for us to eat.’ A demonic voice said in her head and continued to laugh.
"Noooo! Noooo!" Lauren screamed as she felt an agonizing pain all around her temple and her head.
"Noooo! Noooo!" Her screams echoed through her apartment.
