Kermit looked at Caine, "Peter and Child Services got a call that something was wrong, badly wrong at the house so, they went out there." He handed the report to Captain Simms and she looked it over, "My God in heaven," she whispered, "No wonder he's in this state of mind, anyone would be." She looked at Caine.



"There's no easy way to say this, Caine. When they arrived, the children had been slaughtered, all of them. They had all be stabbed or had their throats cut. Then, the parents had committed suicide. According to this report, Peter found the two youngest, the three and four year olds. They said the place looked like a bloodbath. No wonder Peter left so abruptly."



Caine nodded, "To see that done to innocents would have a profound effect on my son. He cares deeply for children, he did back at the temple, always protecting the weak and younger ones from the bullies in the town. My son cannot assimilate why anyone would do this to children and therefore has, indeed, retreated into his secret place. bringing him back is no longer impossible now that I know what has caused this."



Caine rose to his feet, "I must take my son home, only then can I work with him and bring him truly home. I thank both of you and, I will keep you informed of his condition as we work." He bowed and left, heading back to Counry General and his son. He had to save Peter's mind and his soul and he could only do that at the kwoon.



He arrived at the hospital and went straight to Peter's room. He was still sitting in the chair staring towards the window. Caine went to the nurses' station and soon, the Doctor in charge was called. Caine told him what he wanted to do. The Doctor listened and nodded, "There isn't much else we can do for him here. I'll arrange to have him released into your care."



Caine nodded, "You can do one more thing for me, Call Kermit Griffin at the 101st precinct to come and get us?" The Doctor nodded and soon, Caine was waiting for Kermit to arrive with a fully dressed Peter beside him. The Kermitmobile pulled up and the two men got Peter into the car then they drove to Caine's kwoon.



They got Peter out and took him upstairs and Caine sat him in a chair on the terrace. He looked at Kermit, "I want you and Peter's friends to come and talk to him about what happens at the Precinct, please?" Kermit nodded, "I'll tell them, Caine." He then left the two alone. As Kermit drove back to the 101st, he wondered if Peter was already too far gone. He hoped not, he sincerely hoped not.
