88 ~°~Chapter Eighty-eight~°~

Nicole keeps growling Dale's name and then there's a sound of scuffling and another louder, deeper and bone chilling growl fills the room.

I close my eyes tightly shut, the sound is terrifying.

What the hell is happening?

Nicole immediately quiets down, a terrified whimper that's no doubt coming from her filling my ears.

A dense silence fills the space and slowly I peel my eyes open.

"Virgil, take Hayden with you, clean up and get some rest." Dale finally breaks it. "Yanis will help me get the both of them down to the police station and Shana should go tell Renee what happened." Dale orders calmly.

Virgil finally lets me look and I whip my head around to see a bizarrely calm Nicole whose eyes are blown wide open in terror, Dale has a firm grip on her upper arm but she doesn't look like she's about to go anywhere.
