Chapter 12: Chapter 012
As I left the rain station after returning to the city I stopped by a restaurant to use their phone.
Talking to my brother James and his advice about contacting my sister rung loud in my head. So I decided to do it before I continued with anything else.
I picked up the phone and ringed her number. "Hello?" I paused thinking of what to say. "Hello is anyone there?"
"It's me Jake." I didn't hear anything as there was a pause. It felt like she couldn't believe it was me on the other side of the phone. "It's really me Crystal I didn't actually die. I was near the accident and dropped my wallet. I'm sorry I wasn't able to contact anyone for the past week but I already talked to James and mom."
"Thank you for telling me." I instantly felt relieved. " I have to go now but listen closely."
I adjusted the phone closer to my ear. "DON'T YOU EVER SCARE US LIKE THAT AGAIN."
I pulled the phone away in a hurry. "Damn. Crystal have some damn mercy will ya."
"Think of that as punishment. And also… I'm glad you're alive I missed you." She hung up the phone.
I slowly put the phone back and sat down in chair. And breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that I now have nothing holding me back against my revenge.
Knowing that my family truly loves me I get moving and head back to the morgue.

[knock knock] "Hello is anyone still here? Charles, Scarlett are you there?"
Walking through the front doors I look around and see most of the lights are off. Except for one down the hallway. I slowly walk towards it getting ready to try and activate bloodlust.
Charles comes walking through the doorway and jump when he saw me standing in the middle of the dark hallway.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! ZOMBIE!!!!"
I walk towards the light switch and flip it on.
"Oh! it's you Jake. You have to stop scaring me like that I'm going to have a heart attack at this rate. Really, like Jesus that's twice I thought I would have died today."
I look at him with all the pity I could muster. Charles looks away awkwardly. Then he shouted through the door he just left. "Hey, Scarlett I told you he would come back. And he almost scared me to death."
"Yeah I know. I'm pretty sure you woke up the neighbours and the body's sleeping in the freezer downstairs." Charles looked away again with a slight smirk on his face.
I walked pass Charles and into the room to see Scarlett sitting down on a couch. I sat myself down in the chair across from her and Charles sits next to Scarlett.
"I'm going to be needing your help." They both look at each other then back at me. "I'm going to need a place to crash and I didn't want to involve my family in something like this."
The both looked at each other again and responded at the same time. "Sure."
I looked at them dumbfounded wondering to myself if it really is that easy.
Scarlett started to speak, "Well don't you looked confused. Well Charles and me were talking about it all day while we were working and thought that if you come back that we would help you."
As she finished speaking she nodded towards Charles. Charles then stood up and left the room. After a little while he came back with some blankets and rations.
"You can live here for as long as necessary. Since we own the morgue you don't even have to leave." Charles said as he placed down the items on the couch.
"Wait so you both own this morgue?" I said a little slack jawed.
"Well since we are married, yes we own the morgue. Together." Scarlett spoke with a wry smile.
