Head of the Graveyard Shift
When I was in France with Lawrence and Jessie. I told him that Jessie wasn't his daughter. That I had lied to him, cause I needed to get away from you. I didn't want to destroy your wedding day."
"I know all that. Just get to the part, that has to do with you and my daughter being in danger."
"He was the one who filed for the divorce the following morning. He told me I had to leave. That I was to go, where ever I felt safe. Then he said when he got back from his trip or where ever he went for six years, that he would hunt Jess and I like dogs, and torture us for my lies."
"Christ Donna. You didn't think this was important to tell me or your parents. What the hell is wrong with you? All this time you put our daughter and yourself in danger. He could have been lurking anywhere."
"I know Gar... I'm sorry. But as the years passed by. I kinda forgot all about it. Till tonight."
"Why tonight, Donna?"
"I think... I may have seen him. When I was pulling into the garage, I seen a shadow. Then a face. Lawrences face. But when I looked back, he was gone."
"Damn you, Donna. Just how crazy is he? How well did you know him?"
"Well enough. But he wasn't psycho when we were together. At least I don't think he was. I know he was never home, always away. But he always had eyes on me and Jess, almost like he was protecting us, or making sure we didn't go anywhere. It was after I told him about Jessie not being his, he went crazy."
"So you knew nothing, about what he did for a living?"
"No... like I said he was away alot. He had this room, that Jess, nor I, were allowed to go near. He always kept it locked. So one day I asked him why we couldn't go in there, he said... because it was where he tortured his enemies. But I figured he was teasing me. You don't think he's some kind of hunter, do you?"
"I don't know what to think Donna. The only thing I do know, is that you should have been honest with all of us from the begining. We could have been better prepared. Do you even know if Lawrence is his real name?"
"I don't know Gar. I'm sorry. I have the certificate of marriage and divorce. He kept copies of all that. But his name is the same on all of them."
"Give them to me Donna, I'll run a check on him. But it's highly unlikely he used his real name. How about a picture? Do you have a picture of the three of you together. Any kind of wedding photo?"
"No... we never took any pictures together. He has lots of Jessie and I. But we never had any done together, ever."
"This is great. Why doesn't a father or husband want pictures of his family? Where did you live in France, Donna?"
"I don't know.. come to think of it, we could never venture out. I mean... I was only there one year.
"Gar... I'm really sorry. God what a mess I've made of our lives."
"It's not a mess Donna. It's just one more road block to battle. Try and rest."
Wrapping his wife in his arms, he held her till she stopped shivering. Then when she was alseep, he slipped from the bed, grabbed his gun, and sat up for the rest of the night, on the couch.
"I know all that. Just get to the part, that has to do with you and my daughter being in danger."
