A family of evil

Chapter 8

"Is this okay with you boys?"

Yes, that's cool!Stewart, look at what we learned.'A couple bowed and moved onto the ground. 'See?If we roll, we don't get hurt.'

The partners of others flipped over their partners' legs.And if we are attacked, we can defend ourselves!Look!”Then came more demonstrations.Stewart laughed out loud.Although it is not exactly what we planned to do this afternoon, I suppose it is quite practical.Okay, continue.I will send you a few volunteers to assist.'Before turning and returning over the hill, he stood and watched for some time.

Johnson smiled when he saw Johnnie's eyes.After giving a wink, he returned his focus to one of the bigger boys.That's pathetic, you big girl's blouse!'

That night, Johnson learned that rolling on stones and bumps is covered up by concentration until the bruises show up later.She groaned as she scrubbed off the dirt and dust, but she was thankful for the hot shower.She had bruises on her hip, buttock, and left side of her back.She feared that by tomorrow, she would experience additional discomfort.

Gratitude for the warmth and the opportunity to sleep off the day's emotional and physical efforts took all of her energy to cuddle up in her bed.She rolled over and gave herself a hug before falling asleep.However, a whisper caught her attention as she drifted.The two girls in the bunk next to them were arguing.Johnson listened in unreservedly on the conversation.

Since I began working there, he has been approaching me.He is so old that he must be at least thirty, which is disgusting.Yuk!’

What did you do, then?

‘Well, at first, I just didn't pay any attention, but now that he gets me to come into his office, you know, I can't ignore him,'He has also been giving me things.He would initially provide me with out-of-date stock to take home.He then gave me a necklace and a bracelet to wear.I made a lot of money selling them to one of the boys at the skatepark, but it still gives me the creeps and I don't know how to stop it.I can't tell anyone that I don't want to lose my job.What do you think I ought to do?'

Johnson took a deep breath in anticipation of the advice.

‘Look, you dickhead, what will occur is a foregone conclusion.Try to spread it out first so you can get as many gifts as possible.After that, you'll just have to learn to shut down and let him do what he wants.You can complete it more quickly by pretending.Guys in that situation rarely take long to respond.They've been dreaming about it for too long, and they're afraid they will be found.No matter what you do, don't go anywhere with him so long as you keep it in the office.If no one is present, things can get nasty once they believe they have control.They believe they can do whatever they want.

Johnson had a hard time controlling her rage.She was heartbroken by the children's lack of options.Her instinct was to fight, but here was a girl who didn't think anyone could help her and didn't want to lose her job.She believed that there was no way out.The only way out of the pit for this girl was to get a job, so she was trying to climb out.Her job was more than just a way for her to make a living; it was also a way for her to regain her independence and self-worth.In spite of what your mother and stepfather said about you, regain the belief that you were entitled to success in this world.

"Just try to stay alive for as long as you can."They won't give up when they don't get what they want, so you'll get more presents.Once they have it, you might get a clip across your head and not be treated well.Do you understand what I'm trying to say?Give me a hug, it will be fine, come on.

As one climbed into the top bunk, the bed creaked.As they hunkered down under their covers to whisper in the dark, secure cave of the sheets, their voices became increasingly muffled.

Johnson was still cooking there.She resisted, but her resolve strengthened as the thought of the girls finding out she was listening held her back.The scum who treated children in this manner needed to be dealt with.And she realized that Franklin was doing exactly that.In addition, she was absolutely going to assist him in locating the person who had tortured and killed Clinton and might be torturing other children at the moment.

Johnson had a bad night's sleep and had trouble getting out of bed the next morning because he was feeling helpless and forced to give in after the conversation the night before.Johnnie dished himself breakfast and sat down next to her while she was eating her breakfast in the food court.She was sitting away from the other people so that they could talk because she had been feeling a little down.She took a look at the eggs, sausages, hash browns, and toast on his plate.At least you won't starve, right?'

He gave her cereal plate a cursory glance.You ought to also be eating a healthy breakfast after all that exercise yesterday.’

However, Johnson lacked appetite.Despite her desire to move away from her plate, she continued to load her bowl with cereal.

Johnnie said under his breath, "Now listen": "I called Franklin this morning, and he is going to follow up with Clinton 's supervisor."He said to congratulate you on your accomplishments.

Johnson fixed on him.How did you speak to him?There's no telephone.'

"At the conclusion of the drive, what do you think I left in the bag?"a mobile phone and a few other items I may have required.I called him when I went back down last night after the lights went out.Franklin will be able to start working on it right away, and I think the sooner he does, the better.Clinton 's body was dumped as a warning.This indicates that additional young children are still involved.He needs to act quickly if he wants to prevent other kids from being hurt.'

Johnson grinned.I would never have thought to leave that bag, what a brilliant idea.'In point of fact, Johnson came to the realization that she had simply approached this circumstance in the Johnson e manner as she had approached the stalking situation: blunder along and observe what transpired.There was no preparation, no prior thought, just full speed ahead.And dealing with people who don't play by the rules is just plain stupid.people who are ready to kill in order to get what they want.

"What's going on?"She was brought back by Johnnie's harsh tone.

"Nothing, I'm just.........," and "Don't shut me out, Johnson ."I can tell when something is wrong.Do not fabricate an excuse.Simply inform me, it's easy.'

She moaned. 'Last night, I overheard two of the girls conversing.She also shared what she had heard with him.

Johnnie listened without interrupting, but she could tell he was angry by the way his jaw muscle moved.Who is this girl, and where does she work?'

Karrie was the one.It wouldn't be hard to find out where she works, but I'm not sure where.'She knew right away why he was asking.Are you thinking about visiting him?Wouldn't that make her situation even worse?'

"Not if handled correctly.Just let me know where she works.He dug into his meal once more.Also, you need to get going.If you go about your day like a wet blanket, you won't be of any use to these girls.In addition, "you’ve got to learn to handle hearing these stories if you want to continue as a volunteer," he said, turning to look her in the eye.

Despite the harshness of his tone, Johnson recognized that he was correct.She would be too emotional if she didn't keep her distance from what she heard.It would submerge her.They didn't need her sympathy or tears; they needed her strength and compassion.Emotion also meant that you couldn't think clearly.On the off chance that individuals they were managing were perilous, reliable discernment was crucial.

"I'm sorry, Johnnie."She leaned over and gave him a cheeky kiss.He gave a nod, mumbled, "You're welcome," and then slurped down yet another serving of food.

Johnson was overjoyed when Douglas picked her to work with on a trust exercise that morning.Each person was blindfolded, and their partner verbally instructed them throughout the room and then led them outside through the woods without touching.Being told to walk forward while unable to see in front of you was upsetting.You just had to walk and have faith in the other person.Johnson was perplexed as Douglas first led her around the room's obstacles before instructing her to extend her hands in front of her and then kneel.She slouched, frowning, and noticed a warm glow in front of her hands.She giggled out of surprise.It's the radiator!'

He then led her out of the room, across the clearing, and into the bush with his assistance.Johnson simply released her and let him lead her.She used all of her senses consciously while she was blindfolded.Despite the fact that she had walked this route numerous times throughout the weekend without noticing any of it, she could smell the trees, the damp earth, and the sickly sweetness of rotting leaves.As she walked, she reached out to touch sharp bushes and feel shiny leaves.She noticed when they leveled out and when they were walking up a slope.She had the idea that Franklin and Johnnie lived this way.They used every sense at all times to gather as much information as they could at any given time.
