I opened my eyes feeling a hand across my mouth, as I did, I was still in my nightmare and ready to kill the scum that killed my little girl, then a familiar voice broke through the haze, it was Jennifer saying there was a car outside.<br/><br/>Jumping up I looked through a crack in the door frame, it was a lone state trooper, sitting there with his engine running but his lights were out, waiting, waiting for some poor bastard that was speeding through the night, to give him or her a ticket.<br/><br/>It was close to two hours before he left, the fire had all but burnt out and we were both shivering with the cold, neither of us uttered a word as we sat on opposite side of the fire ring, I looked around to see if there was anything to bring the fire back to life and soon found some old bits of wood.<br/><br/>I looked at Jennifer as she petted Brody, I knew I had hurt, but I didn't mean to. The fire was soon brought back to life and I sat opposite Jennifer, I blurted out, "Ok I used to be a cop and ...... " I blurted out my whole story to the kid, tears started to fall down my face, as I explained how they held my daughter down on her knees with her head back, she was facing me when they put a gun against the back of her head and I watched her face explode into blood and brains that covered me.<br/><br/>I broke down in tears, it still hurt so much, I felt an arm go around my shoulders
