REFLECTING ON THE PAST FEW DAYS
"My stomach was rumbling, and I didn't feel like doing anything else today," Casey thought as she walked over to her house. She grabbed the mac and cheese out of the cabinet and began heating it. While she waited for her lunch, Casey reflected on the past few days. Casey thought. "Why did my father visit me at midnight that night and say I was being stalked?" How did I end up in my bed the next morning as if it were a dream? "I couldn't think of that right now," Casey said to herself. Her husband was coming off his shift this afternoon. He will be heading back to work around six tonight for overtime. She will tell him about seeing Micah today. Also, she will tell him about the events of the day, with the dead body of the neighbor's daughter, and about inviting Micah over for pizza tonight. Her husband, Chris, would also get to catch up with Micah when he got home from doing some overtime. But first, Casey wanted to take a nap. She was exhausted.
MEANWHILE, BILL SULLIVAN WAS BEGINNING TO WORRY
Corky's dad was worried. He had called her phone number several times without getting an answer. He booked a plane ticket, leaving his family in Jamaica, to travel back home to check on Corky. His phone rang as he landed at the airport in the city he lived in. It was the police. The law didn't want to reveal anything just yet about finding Corky, deceased, in his yard. They thought it would be wise to have him come to the station first.
Bill sat in the station, slumped over, as the officer revealed the news about finding Corky, deceased, in his yard. Mr. Sullivan felt overwhelmingly guilty for leaving her here while he went on vacation. Even worse was the state her body was in when she was found. Bug bites with huge blisters? Decaying? What no one knew was that a new strand of bacteria was causing a virus that had already killed several people in several towns as of that time this evening. Bill said to himself, "But Corky had the key. I gave her the key." How did this happen?"
Casey gets to visit an old friend
Later that night, Casey, Micah, and Chris were enjoying a pizza and a Pepsi when the doorbell rang... Who was it?
