《The Fragile World》Side Story-Karan's Woes

Karen's Pov-
Thinking of my brother's sudden disappearance over once more; I can't help but curse the world for it's cruelty. First forced to watch my mother slowly deteriorate in front of me due to cancer, never giving up the hope that somebody could save her. Yet no matter how many doctor's we went to they all just told us the same thing. "Sorry but there is nothing we can do."
After my mother's death, despite all the grief counseling it was never the same. My father became distant, eventually quitting his job and shutting himself into his room. When the unpaid bills started pilling up every month, eventually me and my brother had to find a way to keep ourselves fed. We eventually found a job, unfortunately school and working a full time job was just too much for a high school student. Having noticed this my brother dropped out and decided to take the burden of keeping us afloat on himself. Two years passed like that. After getting accepted into a university, I managed to use financial aid and food stamps to have to somewhat stable life living with my brother.
Another five year's passed and I finally got my master's degree in criminal justice. I also learned that my father took his own life shortly after we left. Through the help of one of the teachers there, I managed to get into a position assisting a detective. I spent two years with this man before I got my badge. I picked up many things from him. I learned how to pick up on the subtle hints people give off unconsciously and a bit about what people call the criminal world.
You would be surprised how many of us in law enforcement, have connections to the criminal world. The system works for the most part. By working with some of the guys on the bottom we can keep the guy's up at top from disturbing anybodies daily life. While that might seem wrong at first, it makes sense. Personally I would rather let a few common thieves go to catch a killer.

Using those rule's I became quite well known in my line of work. Anytime there was a case people had trouble with it was common knowledge for them to ... "Toss the file on Karen's desk". I was fine with that. Until today... Not only does the case in question personally involve me but it also knocks common sense out of the ball park. The sad thing is I know that I am on a wild goose chase, but I can't do a damn thing about it.
The guys up at top are pretty much oblivious to whats going on around them and despite having evidence of the supernatural it just isn't enough. Even when the truth is right in front of them still nobody wants to admit the possibility that we may just be sitting in a playground for something far beyond us. So what do they do? They completely deny whats in front of them even if it slaps them in the face. Then they make excuses. The video is fake they say or go see a doctor you are seriously ill. The worst one is the so called "Gods Will".
So I am forced to do the only thing I can... Play along. So naturally hearing David express the same views I have, I jump at this opportunity. Only to have my hope crushed once again. He even admitted he knows whats going on! So why won't he tell me? Feeling betrayed yet again however sadly I can't even feel anger towards him. Still I can't help but question. Just what kind of force is it. What kind of force instills a fear so great that you can't tell somebody who literally is submerged in it's nature?
