Jace entered a quick search through the data base for the date that Alex had disappeared in. The computer displayed a file named Andrews. Got you, thought Jace as he opened the file. Instead of details of a kidnapping that Jace was expecting to find, was a truth worse then his darkest nightmares. The file explained of a dark ritual sacrifice that Alex was to part of.
The sacrifice called for five males and five females all to be sacrificed. The victims were to be tied up, and their head pulled back . A sacrificial blade was then plunged into the victims throat, and pulled down to make a slice from the throat to the heart. The blood was then gathered and force fed back into the victim who was apparently kept alive by drugs. The victim died while choking on his or her own blood.
A map of the United States was linked to the file. On it five cities were circled and a line drawn from them made a star and a circle on the map. A pentagram. Each city had a place of power where the sacrifice’s were to take place. The cities were New York, Washington DC, Houston, Las Angeles, and a little town called Crystal Lake. Three of the five cities were completed leaving Las Angeles and Crystal Lake. Whatever Mr. Kassidy was trying to achieve, he was almost finished with his work.
There was more to the file. It seemed that the last sacrifice to happen in the city of Crystal Lake was to be made by a female child that had to be born on the seventh day, of the seventh month, in a year ending in seven. Jace gazed at the date. There was something familiar about that date.
A blinking graphic at the bottom of the screen looked like a button on the computer screen. The word Prodigy was displayed in big bold gold letters on it, and the button seemed to be calling Jace to click on it. Jace clicked on it, when he realized in horror what was so important about that date.. The screen went blank then started to flash a picture of his daughter Angellica Wyld. She was the prodigy, she was born on July 7, 1987.
Jace stepped back, his breath caught in his throat. He stared in astonishment at the computer screen. Slowly, gathering his courage he retyped his search in the database for his daughters name. A file appeared on the location window.
Clicking on the file, Jace quickly scanned over it. The details on his daughters birth, where he and, his family lived, information on his wife and, himself . All were on record there. Also listed was the grim details of how his daughter would be acquired and when. The date was slated for that night!
Quickly he reached down to the phone and, dialed his number in. He frantically told Misty upon her answering the phone to pack up everything they would need for a few days and, he would be there in a minute to pick them up and, on a final note to let their daughter out of her sight.
Glancing back at the computer. He typed in the order to print a copy of all the files viewed. He thought in his head “fuck you asshole, there is enough evidence here to put you away for life. You will never see daylight, much less my daughter.”
As the pages printed, Jaces triumphant smile turned to a look of fear. Written in big letters across the freshly printed pages in a dark red color was the words, Had you better not go and check on your wife and child, before it is to late.
