    Summary

    In the dark, he felt around and recoiled at the feeling of something slimy and rotten. After a moment, he realized what it was that he’d grabbed: a hand. God, there was someone else down here. No wonder the air was thick with the scent of death. How long had they been stuck? Did anyone ever come for them? Were there others down here? Was Michael going to end up like that, too?

    The rain was coming quicker now, and the water rose past his chest and up his neck. It’s been so long since he’d been well and truly scared, but the muddy water creeping up his form was a grim reminder of his fate. He doesn’t bother trying to fight it, he can’t, and so he simply closes his eyes and tries to take one last breath.

    When Michael comes to, he’s fully underwater. It’s so, so cold, and his lungs are burning. He waited for the instinctive gasp of air that the human body would eventually make, but it never came. Everything was so still, and he realized that he couldn’t feel his heartbeat.

    Was he…dead?

    Summary

    Looking back, William would convince himself he had heard wrong. He would convince himself that the scream was Evan's dying breath, his last cry for help from his sick, demented brother.

    But really, deep down, William knew it was Michael. Michael, slowly realizing what had happened, let out the loudest, most blood curdling scream William would ever hear.

     

    takes place during chapters 7 and 8 of "It's Me", but can be read as a standalone

    Summary

    Kids like Gregory don't get to enjoy holidays; not even Halloween, a night of candy, costumes, and fun. But that doesn't mean he can't try...even if every time it's all for naught.

    Summary

    Maybe it would've been better if he had taken her away himself upon their first meeting instead of digging deep into the doctor's torture chamber of a facility, believing she'd escape unharmed by herself. Maybe it would've saved her a lifetime of trauma and grief. Regardless of her affiliation with the FBI, Grace was still young, inexperienced in the horrific life Leon had lived for 28 years. But God Almighty, for better or worse, she was exactly the way Leon was when this all began.

    "Whatever it takes, count me in."

    "Whatever it takes to save this city, count me in."

    He might not be that same rookie cop anymore, but that rookie cop still existed in Grace.

    Summary

    In the corner of his bedroom stood a crib. Within it laid a child so small and so delicate and so pure that there was no way it could have been his own.

    And yet, she was.
