Shadows that Lurk in the Light: Chapter Twenty Eight
Chapter Twenty Eight:
Upon picking up the phone, Deliah went silent and turned pale, unable to speak after hearing whatever the person on the other end was saying. The expression, the pain suggested either he had escaped, or they had found something related to our parents. Taking the phone from my sister’s hands, I put it up to my ear.
“What’s going on?” I asked, trying to figure out what had caused my sister to go so pale.
“There was a search of Ken’s property.” A robotic voice said. “They may have found some of the victims, even your parents.”
I was left speechless. They had found human remains, but I couldn’t bear to think that could be our parents. Wheeling myself beside Deliah, I tried to comfort her but couldn’t figure out how.
“Deliah, we don’t know anything for sure yet.” Something deep within told me the answers, they were gone and I had wasted years being mad at them.
“There’s something in me that tells me they’re somewhere on that property.” Deliah sighed.
My only response was to nod, since I felt the same way. I had hoped they would have reached out to Deliah and I if they were still out there, but everything seemed so strange the last night we saw them.
