Untamed ep.06

UNTAMED WRITTEN BY STEVEN JERAL HARRIS EDITED BY EMERALD BLUE OKIKI Episode 06 The Case. N ight matures as Frank drives away from Rochester and into a secluded town that has no buildings, and the small homes, which are made out of wood, are acres apart. The town is mostly full of thick dark woods that stretch for miles and miles. The sky is free of clouds, making the full moon look grand and vivid behind the towering pine trees.

He continues to drive down the lonely winding road until a faint light can be seen peeking through the pine trees from afar. He slows to a halt at an illuminated area blocked off by two squad cars, an old pickup truck, a couple of sedans, and burning road flares.

I quickly retract my hands and look up to realize who it is. It’s Kristie Cambridge who lives a couple of doors down from us. She’s accompanied by two other girls who all look awfully cheerful and friendly, just like her. I barely see Kristie around the neighborhood anymore since she went off to college two years ago. ‘Iva, how’s it going?’ Kristie asks vividly. ‘Fine, I mean great,’ I stutter just a little. ‘He
