The storm rages on a pretty grim and depressing day in Louisville, Kentucky. For the past five years, numerous of reports telling about the murders of families or people. The murderers were loyal people that shouldn't be suspected of crimes. Authorities recently discovered about the criminals were forced to do missions of killings by some group of operators. A young girl's innocence was shattered by this event. Her name was Avery Nore and she was released from custody of Kentucky's mental ward, Kentucky Ward Institution, just to be found shot near the chest a day later. The poor girl is slowly recovering in a coma. Authorities pondered about the victims who were just like Avery and will to put the gang of cruel operators to justice.
My eyes adjusted to the light only to find myself in a room of white. My vision was blurry and my body felt groggy. I looked to my right side to see the heart monitor making a calm constant beeping. I wonder how I end up in the hospital? All I can remember is darkness that I saw for only God knows how long. I looked throughout my hospital room. Seats, cabinets, and a counter with a sink holding some needles. I heard the covers slide opened to reveal a girl with fiery hair and silver eyes. She was in some scrubs and I felt deja vu while looking intently at her. I felt like I met this woman before, haven't I?
"It's so shocking to see one girl that been through so much trouble then falling into despair once again." She says softly with a smile. "How's your chest?"
"Chest?" My eyes darted down to my chest. I didn't see anything nor feel anything. "I am confused." I informed.
The nurse walked over to me and pull down the collar part of my hospital gown. Bandages and a tube-like object was entering on my right side of my chest. I had wiring attached all over me. I also got a breathing tube inside and around my nose. "We had to perform an emergency operation because the bullet was still in you and you were slowly bleeding to death." She explains to me.
That's when the two officers dragged in. "We glad to see you awake, Ms. Nore." One of them said. They both had a visitor pass attached to their left side of their chest. "Officer Yuri" and "Officer Fisher" they both read.
"What's going on?" I demanded anxiously.
"It seems you have a lack of memory, let me refresh it for you." Officer Yuri says. "A person discovered your body in a ditch. You were shot to the left side of the heart and slowly dying."
Then a faint memory emerged. I was not in the ditch by the time when I was shot. I can hear the roar of the bullet before fading black. My vision was all a haze that I can only make it out that I was some sort of building and there was a tall faint old male looking in front of me. "I was not outside when I was shot." I explained. "More like in a building."
"Do you know someone that was in that building by the time you were shot, Ms. Nore?" Officer Fisher asks sternly. I can tell that there was seriousness in his voice.
"Yes, a man." I nodded and sighed heavily. "He was looking at me before everything faded black."
"She went to Hallson's house, Officer Fisher." Mother burst into the room making me jump unexpectedly and there was another male doctor arriving into the room as soon mother infiltrated.
"I know you were worried about your daughter, but please return back to the waiting room, she's in a middle of an interview with the police." The doctor told my mother.
"It's okay, Doctor Jameson." Officer Fisher told the doctor that commanded my mom. "She is having trouble regaining her memory anyway."
Doctor Jameson nodded and walked out the room leaving my mother to speak for me. My mom looked towards me with a smile. She glances back towards the two officers. "My daughter was going to speak to Mr. Hallson for closure of killing his daughter, Laura. He could possibly be one of the suspects." My mother explains.
"Avery, was that the male who bullet you?" Officer Yuri glances towards me.
"I think so." I assume. My memory is slowly recovering, but the haze still disturbs my vision. I remember a familiar voice of a girl with short blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was crying: "W...why, Ave?" She was lying on the floor with a bullet hole in her leg. Nausea and tears rose in me. It was my deceased friend, Laura. I could still feel her aching in my heart.
Oh, I miss Laura. I said in my head.
"I'd bet you do, Avery." Officer Fisher glances towards me. What?! Did I say that outloud or Officer Fisher is telepathic?! "And by the way, we caught one of the operators of the gang this morning."
"Wait, what?!" Adrenaline rushed through me. I was no longer groggy anymore. I now remembered the gang of cruel operators whom I stumbled upon on a grim Friday wanted me to play this stupid game. If I failed, my whole family would be- "Oh God!" My stomach immediately dropped and the heart monitor increased. Everyone in the room winced towards me. My only attention was to the officers. "They said if I failed, they would kill me and my family!"
"You said that in an interview at the Kentucky Ward Institution." The Officer Yuri said. "We put cameras around the street for protection. The operator that was arrested was identified as Freddy Falls. He was classified as one of the kidnappers in the gang."
"There were three members that kidnapped me at my house. Their hideout is at warehouse that looked omission." I informed.
Officer Fisher nodded and replied: "He also had some stalking tool on his phone giving him the ability to know what people are up to."
The memories took over once again, but this time, the blurriness has revoked. I was sitting on the ground weeping in tears and one of the men kneeled down towards me and removed the holster from my waist. "You know you cannot onslaught upon us." He said in a sinister tone of voice. He had grey eyes, high cheekbones, and he was pale.
I snapped back into reality when I heard Officer Yuri calling my name. "What?" I said. "Did Freddy Falls had a pale face, grey eyes, and high cheekbones?" I assumed.
"Correct." Officer Yuri nodded. "We will discuss this next week when you are feeling better."
"She is coming home in a couple of days." The red flamed her doctor informed. The officers nodded and left the room.
The doctor glared towards me. "You don't remember, do you?" She asks with a heavy sigh. I shook my head.
"The health freak." She gives me a hint and gives me a wink.
I scanned my old memories to see if I remember this girl from half a decade. I lowered my head. Then raise it back up again with a smile. "Hello Rachel." I said.
A smile appeared upon Rachel's face. The happy atmosphere began to return. We chat for a while until my mom said: "I got to go to work." She walked out with no goodbye, neither a smile. Rachel and I glare back at each other intently.
"When are you coming back to school?" She asks. "You were in eleventh grade before you got arrested for murdering Laura Hallson, our friend."
I hate to admit the past. The past about killing Laura and reverse. "I did not actually killed her on purpose." I'd admit. "The gang of operators did."
"The same people that shot you days back?" Rachel raises the brow.
"No." I shook my head. "It was some other male that I never saw in the gang."
"Who?" She raised her voice in serious matter. Rachel's soft voice had abstained. Her voice goes low when she is serious. I only answered it by silence and a blank stare.
