Jason didn't really know why but he was scared. He was terrified that something had happenend to his wife. Or his son. Or even both. It was like he forgot how to drive a car. His mind was racing. He procrastinated whether he should return the call. Or look at the text. He decided to look at the text first. It suddenly stopped raining. The world outside was quiet. Too quiet. But John didn't seem to care. I think that's called living in the moment. He openend his messages. There was that mysterious number again. When he opened the text, he couldn't believe his eyes. There was no message. There was just a picture. John didn't really spot any humans or shapes or anything so he increased the brightness on his phone. Looking at the picture now I guess he would have wished to never see something like that. The picture showed his wife. Lying on the floor. With cuts in her face and tears running down her cheeks. The room was very dark. One lightbulb for an entire room just isn't enough. Well. It was enough for somebody. Jason didn't know how to feel. Everything seemed so... empty. His world was collapsing. People that walked by his car already asked if he was okay. But he didn't notice them. All he could think about was his wife. And who did this to her. And how he was gonna save her. The problem was that he had no information. Heck, he didn't even know why someone would do something like that to any of his family members. His life was completely ordinary. He never got into fights, he never did anything that could haunt him in the future. He was a well educated, reasonable man.
He suddenly got an idea. There was one mistake this man or woman made. They showed their phone number. The police should be able to track the phone down, see who it belongs to and arrest him or her. That was what he was going to do. He started the engine back up and went on the quickest route. The only two things he needed right now were help and information. The police would be a good place to maybe get both.
To be continued.
