The Present Nightmare!! 2

Just then the officers walked in. "No need for that, Mrs. Black, just follow us…" Malone and her mother hurriedly followed the officers to the hospital ward where their father was kept.

Malone and her mother were thrown into a serious trance seeing their father lying down with the support of a living machine.  The tears she tried to hold back fell on their own. Her mother steadily walks close to the hospital bed to get a closer look at her husband. She held her mouth with her palms as she let out a muffled sound of tears. Her husband was badly wounded. He had bandages wrapped around his whole body. She slowly closed the proximity and brought her hand up to his face while trying hard not to scream. 

The officer standing close to her placed his right hand on her shoulder. Malone, on the other hand, was not any better, her tears falling uncontrollably as she walked like a corpse to her father's hospital bed.

"So It's All True!" she whispered to herself.

She turns to face the officers. "How Did This Happen?" She asked directly. 

"I think we should talk outside." The officer advised. Just then the doctor walked in with the nurse following behind him. "Oh, they are finally here," he asked, gazing at the officer who slightly nodded. 

He glances back at the mother and daughter. "I believe you are his family?" He asked, grabbing the patient folder from the nurse's hand. "Of course we are! We have been asked that a million times!" Malone voiced in an angry tone. The doctor looked up from the folder and looked at her for a sec and turned to the officers who just sighed. 

"Anyways, From the several texts we ran, we discovered your father had tons of alcohol in his system before driving. " 

"What?!! My Father Never Had Anything Alcohol, Knowing That He Would Drive!" Malone rebuked in anger. "You must be lying!" She added her breathing heaving up and down. 

Her mother never said a word as she was so lost in her world, due to the condition of her husband. Her tears kept falling silently. "Well, that's the lab report, also his condition is a critical one. We will do our best but the rest is left as a miracle. If you may excuse Me?" The doctor said before taking his leave with the nurse.

Malone stares at the empty spot dumbstruck. She kept shaking her head in denial. "There are few things you must know. But I prefer we take this discussion outside." The office suggested again glancing at her mother. Malone's mother turned around as soon as the officer's words caught her ear. "I'm coming with you." She said, sniffing back her tears.

They all went outside of the hospital word to listen to what the officer had for them.  They were standing right in front of the hospital ward of Malone's father.

"To make it straight, Your father caused the accident." The second officer who had not said a word since the very beginning started. Malone and her mum stare on with their mouths wide open. "What do you mean?" Malone's mother asked, her eyes filled with panic. "It means your husband was under the influence of Alcohol." The officer proclaims. Malone's mother falls back in shock and steps on Malone's toe. "That can be true…?" Malone refused to believe a word either as she believed they were lying to her. 

"When we got to the crime scene, life was Lost." The officer continues raising his voice slightly. Malone and her mother widened, their eyes shocked. Malone's mother's heart kept tightening at every word mentioned. She held her heart with her chubby hands while holding back her tears. "The lives of a pregnant woman and a man were lost." The officer added again.  "From the CCTV footage, we found out that your husband ran the couple over despite the obvious traffic warnings. He left his trail and drove towards the couple and crumpled them to pieces." 

"STOP! STOP! STOP! Enough…." Malone covered her ears in shock and pain as she kept shaking her head in denial. The officers shook their heads in pity and exchanged glances with each other. "Mrs. Black, I know this is hard to believe, but you have to meet the families of the victims." The officer with a bald head suggests.

"WHAT IN THE NAME??" Malone sneered. "My father is also a victim here, I will never believe a single word from you all." She added. The officers could only sigh in pity. "Where are the victims' families?" Malone's mum, Mrs. Black probed out suddenly making Malone yell out her name. "MOTHER??" 

Her mother only smiled sadly and glanced back at the officer. "I will take you to meet the families tomorrow. They are arranging the burial tomorrow as l heard." The bald head officer stated. Malonie frowned deeply at everything going on and ran out from there in anger. 

She kept running down the hospital hallway without looking back. Her eyes clouded with tears. "Malone! Malone!" She ignores the call from her mother and dashed towards the right side of the hallway. Her mother's voice slowly faded. She kept running without looking and shoved down a nurse coming her way. All the medical equipment inside her tray fell to the ground. Her steel scissors scraped the arms of Malone leaving a bizarre wound on her hand.

 "Oh, my God! Come with me, let me dress You!" She offers with a shocked expression. Malone on her part looked crazy as she smiled awkwardly while looking at the blood dripping from her filtered wound. Her attitude gave the nurse a cold shill. 

She slowly walked past the nurse without saying a word and went towards the lobby. The nurse felt starstruck. "Wait…" her words went back to her throat seeing the back of the lady fading away. She shrugged her shoulders and picked up her tools and left.

Malone walks into the lobby with blood trickling from her arm. Her appearance made people give her a strange gaze.  "What's wrong with her?" people kept whispering, voicing out their minds. "Her white nightwear was now stained with her blood. While her purple hair fell out of place. Her lips dried up with colors.   "Who is she?" Another person questioned.
