Late Again
The clouds had moved in earlier that evening. It was very gloomy weather, but it wasn't raining yet. Rick and Jodie let their fifteen-year-old daughter go to a party that night. She had a curfew but she was late...again. They were sitting at the kitchen table having a discussion, and waiting for the instant she walked through the door. "Damn her, she knows that her curfew was at midnight and it's already three, this is the last time she goes to a party," he said as he stood up and walked around the kitchen. "No buts, she's done this one too many times." "Give her one more chance." Jodie pleaded, following him as he paced back and forth. "No! You give her an arm and she takes an arm and a leg." "If we keep letting her do this, she will."
"Yes, she's at St. Agnes medical center, but I have to warn you that she was strangled and stabbed numerous times, she's on life support, they've tried everything and they don't think she'll make it through the night." "Oh and one more thing, she is five months pregnant." "I'm deeply sorry, now if you'll excuse me." "Jodie we've gone through this before, and look, where is she now?" He said as he looked through the window. "We never disciplined her; we need to get tougher, what she need is a good ass beating, like your father gave you." "Well", said the officer. (A long pause) l ground her for a week, she'll learn her lesson." "Is she alive?" Asked Rick trying to be strong, waiting for the response. "Are you the parents of...Janelle Marquez?" Unwillingly asked the police officer. "
