The next day Tommy
was waiting for Kym as she came out of her last class. "Hey
baby! Want to go get something to eat," Tommy put his arm around
her waist as they walked to a parking structure.
"I would love
to, but the rangers are coming over to work on my case this afternoon.
You can come over, if you like," Kym smiled and leaned into Tommy.
"Do you
want me there?" Tommy asked, his tone grave and serious.
"Yes, I
do," Kym turned and faced Tommy at her truck.
"I'll follow
you over," Tommy said as he leaned in and kissed Kym.
Kym waited
until Tommy's Geo was in her rearview mirror. He signed 'I love you
to her and she signed it back, smiling. Tommy was such an awesome
boy. He and his family all welcomed her with open arms. Tommy
treated her right and cared for her. She truly believed that one
day they would be married.
At two the group
of rangers showed up at Kym's door.
"Come on in,
everyone," Kym smiled as the four rangers came into her livingroom.
"Can I get you guys anything?"
After getting
glasses of water and pop for everyone, she sat on the floor and faced the
couch where Walker, Trivette, and Gage were all sitting.
Walker smiled
at Kym. "This may be hard, but could you tell us what happened.
So we can make sure you and the file are t he same?"
"Sure," Kym took
a deep breath. "I was five years old....."
(flashback)
A five year-old
Kym hopped out of a mini van. "Bye Cindy! Thank-you." She ran
with her bags up to the door of her house, opened the door, then turned
and waved. The van backed out of the driveway and left.
Kym walked in
the door. "Mom! Dad! I'm back!" No one answered.
"Benji! Austin!" She shrugged. 'Everyone must be asleep.'
Kym looked at
the clock 9:32. Everyone was usually up by now. She took her
things to her room upstairs and knocked on her parents door. No one
answered. Slowly, she pushed the door open and tiptoed inside.
Her mom and dad lay in bed. "You are sleeping in today?" Kym walked
over to the bed and screamed.
Her parents lay
as if sleeping, yet blood was everywhere. They had been shot.
Kym screamed
as she ran down the hall to her brothers' room. Both of her brothers
were older than her, aged 16 and 17.
"Benji!
Aussie! Mom and Dad need help. I think they're hurt really
bad!" Tears were streaming down her face as she jumped onto Austin's bed.
She recoiled as her hand touched something wet. She screamed again
as she realized that whatever had happened to her parents had happened
to her brothers also. Terrified and bloody she ran downstairs and
to the phone.
She began to
calm as shock took over her small body. She dialed the number that
had been taught since she was young.
"911 emergency.
What is the matter?" the dispatcher said.
"Mommy and Daddy
are hurt," came the response.
"How are they
hurt, honey?"
"I...I don't
know. They are hurt. So are Ben and Austin. Help me please!"
came the pleading voice of Kym.
"Can you tell
me your address, sweetie?"
"Um,...683 Silverlake
Dallas, Texas," Kym began to panic again. "Please, help my mommy
and daddy! They're hurt really bad!"
"Honey, calm
down. What's your name?"
"Kym."
"Kym, how old
are you?"
Kym began to
calm as she answered the dispatcher's questions. "Five."
"My little girl
is five also. Her name is Melissa. Are you in kindergarten?"
"Yes."
"Kym, I need
you to do something for me. Can you get to your door with the phone?"
"Yes. It..
it doesn't have a cord."
"Good.
Can you go to the door for me? Right now."
"Yes."
There was a pause as Kym went to the door. "I'm here."
"I want
you to look out the window, when you see the police car, let me know."
"Okay."
Kym looked out the window.
"They should
be there very soon."
"I see
them," Kym said.
"They're
going to come to the door, will you let them in for me, sweetie?"
"Yes."
"Okay.
I'm going to hang up now. The policemen will help you, okay?"
"Okay.
Bye."
"Bye sweetie."
Kym opened
the door for the officers. The first one in the door was an older
man, Officer Thomas.
"Hi, honey.
My name is Officer Thomas. Can you tell me where your parents are?"
Kym began
to cry again, "Upstairs in their bedroom." The second officer was a young
man, 19 years old. Officer Dave Willet. He brought the little
girl a blanket from the squad car and picked her up. He took her
out to the car as an ambulance and two more squad cars pulled up.
She was sobbing.
"It's okay
sweetie. It's okay. The police and paramedics will do what
they can."
Kym clung
to the officer. "My name is Officer Willet. My younger sister
calls me Davey. She's nine. How old are you?"
"Five."
