“Oh sweetheart, you so pale. What’s wrong?”
“Why don’t we take this inside Onix?” I say as I come to stand behind her, placing my hands on her shoulders I feel her body vibrating. “She still isn’t feeling well,” I state as I look athermom’s look of surprise.
“Oh dear, of course. Let’s go inside.” Onix glances over her shoulder at me and I can see the pain in her eyes before she closes them and nods.
“Are you Hawk?”Hermom asks as I place my arm around Onix’s waist and start guiding her back towards the building, her mom following us.
“Yes, I am,” I mutter, knowing that the poorwomanis about to receive the worst news of her life and I can’t do anything to help her.
“Mom, come and sit next to me.” Onix says as I stand letting her take the seat next to Onix. “I have something to tell you.”
“Did you find her?”Hermom suddenly asks before she takes a seat, her hand covering her heart, “you did, didn’t you?”Atear slips downOnix’scheek as she nods at her mom.
“Yes, and she’s dead mom.” I stand close just in case they need assistance, but all the mom does is nod.
“I always knew that she wouldn’t live to a ripe old age, I prayed that she would, but deep down I knew.” Both women hug weeping, but they seem to be taking strength from each other. I step back giving them space as I stand by the door.
“This is a terrible time, I’m sorry brother,” Fang mutters as he comes to stand next to me, “but ever since we picked her up, she seemed to know what had happened. There was a palpable sadness in her.”
“I think as a parent you unknowingly sense when something is wrong with your children.” I murmur.
“We will find the fucker that is doing this, and they will get their peace.” Fang says as he steps past me. He is right about that, I don’t care how long it will take,but I will find the man that is killing these women and when I do,I will make him pay for the pain that he has caused so many.
“They need someone to go and identify the body,” Gunner says as he approaches from behind me. I look back over my shoulder at him seeing him approach.
“I can’t take them there today; I will see if Onix is strong enough to go in tomorrow.”
“Did you tell her that the fucker takes souvenirs?” Gunner asks as he stands next to me looking at the two women.
“No, but I will need to let her know before we go because there is no way that she will not notice a piece of hersister'ssculptmissing.” I hate that she is going through this, “fuck, I hate this. I wish I could go there instead of her, but she already said that she wants to see her.”
“King said that If you want we can bury her in our land,” I glance at Gunner in surprise, usually onlywolverinesare buried on our land, that he is willing to open an exception to bring my woman peace tells me that he hasacceptedher fully into our pack.
I nod, “I will let them know and see what they decide.” Once everything has calmed down, I am going to have to speak to Onix, I want her to stay with me, I need her to stay with me, but I will not stop her from going if she wants. I know that Iwon'tbe able to stay away from my woman, I will follow her if I have to but I hope I don’t because being part of the pack is all I know, they are my family and we need to stay together to protect each other.
Onix is now the very air that Ibreathe, without her close I will suffocate. I need her to see that we need each other, that we will be stronger, happier together. “Also, for now youareoff the hook with Trina’s death. They think that the serial killer got to her, we got information from our sources at the station. It looks like there was plastic in a role to one side and a part of her scalp had been cut.”
“We need to get inside her house,” I state looking at Gunner, if we can get a scent of whoever was there, we might recognize it later.
“Do you know how many cops have been in that apartment since she was killed?” Gunner shakes his head, “But, I was thinking that if we could get our hands on the evidence that they got from the house we might be able to still pick up a scent.”
I bump his shoulder with mine, “that would work,” I murmur, “but how the hell are we going to get inside that station and to the evidence without being caught?”
“Just be here for your women, don’t worry about the rest we will get what we need.” Knowing that I have the support of my brothers, the strength of the Wolverine behind me gives me hope that maybe we will be able to find the son of a bitch sooner than later.
ONIX 17
Since the disappearance of Linda,my life has changed, before I drove myself to excel to do better and better for those that are less able to do it for themselves. I know that I have driven myself to the extremes because of the guilt that I always felt towards what happened with Linda when she was a child but since I started looking for her that something has changed in me.
That younger Onix that was a little wild, strong headed and lived life to the fullest has been oppressed for so long now, but since looking for Linda I have seen that Onix that I thought was lost, I know that Linda would have wanted me to live my life, she was always telling me what a stuffed shirt I had become.
I now regret not having spent more time with her, ever since going to identify the body last week that I have been fighting with the anger in me, how can someone do to others what that man is doing. I am supposed to leave today to head back home, but no matter how many times I tell myself that I should go back home I can’t make myself drive away.
I jump in surprise when I feel a hand on my head, snapping my head around I see mom standing behind me. “Sorry I frightened you.”Thislast week has made a mark on her, she is looking fragile like a wind could blow her away.
“It’s okay, I was just listening to the birds.”
“It’s beautiful here.” She murmurs as she takes a seat next to me, to be honest I have been sitting out here for the last half an hour or so and my mind has been so busy that I haven’t given myself a chance to see the beauty of the forest that surrounds us. The tree in which I am leaning against and now my mom too is glorious in its beauty, the whole property is a place that anyone would love.
