In the time of fear

Chapter 1

Captain Leo Hark P.O.V

Another phone call another death, everytime this phone rings a little part of me screams don't pick it up you'll regret it... I always do.

In the little town of Greyson falls homiacides happen to often way to often in a town with less than 300 residents in the last two months ten people have been murdered, and it's not just gunshots it's brutal murders last week two young teens where turned inside out and their throats ripped out... the church folk say it's demons or human sacrifice to the Devil him self. I don't believe its human sacrifice, just some sick individual who's smart enough not to leave behind evidence.

Ring there goes the phone again, I haven't left the office in almost 48 hours and I'm living on 3 hours of sleep. "Is this Leo Hark?" The voice on the other side of the phone said in a small voice it was a voice of a woman German maybe .

"Yes, who am I speaking to?" I say in a blunt tone I held back a yawn I need to sleep. "Doctor Mara Dämon, we have..." she sounded scared "your son Jack has came to the hospital a car accident. Him and a couple of friends were driving drunk and hit a pole."

Damn it Jack, my 17 yearold son already in a car accident he just got his damn license. I looked down at the photograph on my desk of him and I we were smiling...fake, he looked a lot like me same dark black hair same green eyes Jake had grown a inch taller than me he was 6'1 now I hadn't seen him in almost a year the ex took him.

"Has his mother been called?"I frowned as I spoke "is he okay?" I added. "A broken arm we just sent him up to get a scan of his head. And yes your wife was she didn't pick up. " The doctor spoke more calm now, "Ex wife" I grumbled. Just like Jessie she never answered her phone. "I'm on my way" I said anger in my voice I slammed the phone down on the desk hanging up the phone.

I made it to the only hospital in this damn town almost ten minutes later I was pissed at my son for driving drunk, he knows how stupid that is. I waltzed up to the front desk a buff nurse with dark skin and green eyes winked at me it's was Monroe, my sort of friend... my only friend.

"Monroe, where's is my kid?" I asked it was more forced he chose his mom to live with and I guess I was still hurt over it. "Room 30b second floor, I'll take ya up hun " Monroe smiled he was the best Er nurse the night shift had he was a few credits away from being a doctor but he wanted the nurse gig instead.

"He wasn't drunk ya know " My friend said happily "he isn't that stupid, doctor Dämon just assumed he was since his friends smelled like a bar." I rolled my eyes and looked at the nurse shaking my head "he's stupid enough to hang out with those delinquents.

Those Hernandez kids always causing trouble." I said as we made it to my sons room. Larunda and Luis Hernandez those kids will be in jail before their 21st birthdays. "Jackson Grayson Hark ! What the hell where you thinking!" I practically spat on my son. His arm was propped up on a pillow his face was swollen and covered in cuts from where the glass had hit his face. He was lucky glass didn't go near his eyes.

"Dad calm down it's not a big dea-"I cut him off "not a big deal I haven't seen you in a god damn year and now I have to pay for all your bills for this.it is a big deal!" I yelled at him he flipped me off and smiled like a dumb ass, I could hear Monroe laughing behind me. "Missed you to dad!" Jack said with a laugh he was always so insensitive.

I'm gonna kill him "listen here boy if you throw another stunt like this again I'll leave ya here to fend for you're self" I snapped. "I get I get it but at least I didn't total my car... Luis didn't want to show up in my ugly jeep" I could hear the pain behind his words.

He isn't aloud pain pills and I assume Monroe made the point. " Jack I know your anti drugs but a little bit just to take the edge off... it would be for you're own good. " I said as I calmed down. "No... I won't I'm not gonna end up like Matt." Jack said angrily. Matt I hadn't heard him even bring him up since his death that stupid boy got him self killed for those drugs. Or we think he was killed he's been missing for a year now.

"Matt was like a second son to me it was his own damn fault he got into the wrong crowd. You're in pain..-" this time Jack cut me off " So was he and look were that got him... probably 6 feet under" Jack said on the verge of tears. I was starting to get angry again but I shook my head 1...2....3....4....5 by the time I got to ten I was calmed down.

"Okay it's you're choice " I balled my fist and turned to Monroe " Monroe watch him for me I'm gonna try and get his mom to pick up her phone.

Jacks mom is a backstabbing, cynical bitch cheated on me but I guess since I was cheating on her it was okay for her to do the same. I walked out of the room and called his mom three times before the bitch answered "It's 1 am !" She screeched "what the hell do you want Leo! Some one better be flipping dying " her anger issues were worse than mine but the could just be because of me waking her up in the middle of the night.

"It's your son he is in the hospital .."someone else was calling me work "just get here I have to leave " I snapped . I answered the call "hello?" I know what's coming "Captain two more murders" it was Mandy "Detective Jones and I are already on the scene but your gonna wanna see this."
