poked her head in the limo and asked Justin if he wanted to come in the house for a while.
“No, but thank you. I just wanted to make sure Tori got home safe. I have to get home myself.”
“Okay then,” Kathy said.
Tori poked her head in the limo. “Be sure to call me, I gave you my number.”
“I will. You take care.”
Tori shut the door and walked arm in arm with her sister to the front door where Kathy’s husband Randy stood. He was flanked on each side by one of her nephews.
“Hey Tori,” Randy said. “I’m glad to see you are alright. Kathy was worried sick and so were these two little guys. They wouldn’t go to bed until they saw you.”
Tori bent down to eye level with her young nephews. Rick, the eight year old immediately embraced her. “Aunt Tori, mom was so worried all weekend. I was too a little.” Tori hugged him back and she felt Sam the six year old join in on the hug. In that moment Tori felt that she made the right choice in coming back to Earth.
“I love you guys.”
Randy put his hand on their shoulders. “Okay guys, you see aunt Tori is okay. Let’s go get ready for bed.”
“But dad,” the boys said in unison.
“No butts,” he said miming a spanking. “You have school in the morning and your mom needs to talk to Tori.”
Randy gave Tori a quick little hug. “I’m glad your back.” Then he turned to his wife and gave her a peck on the cheek. “As for you, don’t worry about the boys, I’ll get them off to school in the morning. You take care of you sister.” Then he ushered the boys to their bedrooms.
Kathy took Tori’s hand and led her over to the couch. They both sat and Tori saw the missing posters her sister had been making spread out on the coffee table. “Do you need anything? Water? Something to eat? I got some wine in the fridge if you need something stronger.”
“I’m fine.”
“Okay, now tell me everything. What’s up with the limo?”
Tori started at the beginning, going over how Ben had hit her over the head and tried her up and how she kneed him in the groin at the most opportune moment.
Kathy said. “That’s my sister. I told you those Krav Maga classes we took weren’t a waste of time.”
“I kneed him in the balls sis. It’s not rocket science.”
“Go on,” Kathy encouraged.
Tori finished her tale, leaving out only she had desperately wanted to stay with Mason.
“Wow! That is a lot to take in.” Kathy said with a quizzical look on her face. Tori could tell her sister didn’t know whether to believe her or not. “Do you think he drugged you or something?”
“I know he didn’t.”
Tori took off her cardigan and showed Kathy the mark Mason had drew on her arm. Kathy inspected it and then shook her head. “I’m just glad you are okay. I love you so much and I thought you were dead. I don’t know what I would have done without you with mom and dad dead. I just don’t know….”
“It’s okay, I’m fine. Did you say they caught Ben? ” Tori said changing the subject because she knew if she didn’t her sister would start crying and she would follow.
“Yeah it happened Friday night. He got in a car accident and the police found blood in the back of his van along with rope, duct tape and God only knows what else. They didn’t release all the details but he is suspected in the rape and murder of five women. I reported to the police that you had a date with a man named Ben and you didn’t come home. You should make a report to them. I called them after you called me to let them know you were found, but it may help to prove a case against him.”
“Maybe, I just don’t want to think about it now.”
Kathy glanced at the clock on the wall. “Oh it’s nearly three in the morning. You must be exhausted. I’ve got the guest room all made up for you.”
“Sleep sounds
