Krampus: The Reckoning Page #2

window dressing though.

Turns out the Holezers were

always taking in.

One after the other.

Neighbors said the kids

always looked shabby.

Dressed in Goodwill clothes.

Always two sizes too

big or too small.

Miss Holezer though.

She always dressed to

the nines with a new car

in the driveway.

Could be a murder.

Yeah, could be.

Anyhow, angry broke parent

or juvenile delinquent,

giving the revolving

door situation,

I'm sure we're not

gonna have a short list

of suspects to sift through.

Did you find what

you're looking for?

What is this?

Yeah that's ugly.

It's scary.

Yeah, scary as well.

All right uhm,

ready to go?

Impatient detective?

Actually, bored stiff, doctor.

All right.

And that is why Santa

has nine reindeer.

Do you think Santa will remember

to come here for us?

How can he, there's no

chimney in the hospital.

Oh that's just not true.

What?

Remember yesterday when

I took you out for a walk?

Remember that huge smokestack

by the tall building

behind the garden?

Yeah.

Well, that's our chimney.

And that is how

Santa is gonna come,

and bring you all

a bunch of presents

on Christmas Eve.

That's not true.

Zoe.

What do you mean, Zoe?

That's not a chimney.

It's a smokestack.

The smoke that comes out

is from the bodies of the people

that they burn

after they die here.

Zoe uh...

You're a smart kid.

I can tell.

And I know you've

been through a lot.

But they've been

through a lot too.

You know, and they.

You don't wanna scare 'em

or give 'em nightmares, do you?

Zoe?

Are you okay?

Why are you staring

at that nice man?

You brought my things?

I did.

Tell me about this little guy.

He's the Krampus.

That's his name, Krampus?

He's kinda scary looking.

Zoe are you ready to

talk about what happened?

What happened?

When your parents d...

They weren't my parents.

They were bad.

How were they bad?

Zoe is there anything

else you can tell me?

Anything that you

might've seen or heard?

Tell me more about your scar.

You don't like to

talk about it, why?

We're not here to talk about me.

Hey sweetie.

Yeah I'm almost done,

I, yes I'll be home soon.

I can totally pick up a pizza.

I know, no mushrooms.

Okay.

Love you too, bye.

Who was that?

That was my son.

Your son?

His name is Lamar.

Does his daddy live with you?

His daddy actually passed away.

His mommy did too, I'm his...

You're his foster mother?

Foster mothers are mean!

Are you talking

about Ms. Holezer?

Were she and Mr.

Holezer mean to you?

And selfish.

So Krampus said they

needed to be punished.

Krampus talks to you?

Sometimes.

What does he say?

He knows who's been bad.

And?

He punishes them.
