        Placing her hand over her mouth, she gasped. Slowly she backed away and crashed against Colin.

        "He is a psychopath!" He said as he made his way toward the doors, looking at what the mud colored doors had held.

        Using the light from his phone, he noted all the objects tacked to the doors. Pictures of Jennifer Morrison in acting jobs way before Once Upon a Time and even her in old apartments she had before she moved to Canada lingered on the doors. A small device sat in the center of the closet. Opening it, Colin saw it was a shrine to her. Love letters written but never sent sat in a box at the bottom and photographs of "x" out pictures of any person she had associated herself with in the male variety.

        "That's it, I refuse to leave you alone..."

        "He hasn't done anything..."

        "Look at this! He is certifiable! He had been stalking you...look at these pictures! I am not leaving you alone!"

        "He hasn't tried anything."

        "Yet."

        "Not helping..." She said, taking a deep breath and slowly closing the doors. As they went to shut, something shiny caught her eye. In the corner, poorly hidden under a soft silk scarf, Jennifer found a weapon. Shiny, small, and terrifying. A gun that was clearly well kept and out for anyone to grab, she moved back and tears froze solid in her eyes. Finally able to blink, she let the tears fall free before moving back toward the window.

        Slowly, he pulled her away.

        "You can't be seen." Her gaze did not move from the weapon. "I won't let anything happen to you...I promise..."

        "I just....that's a gun!" She said, her voice getting loud. "That's a weapon that can kill someone! Does he want to use it on me? Or YOU?" The realizations caused her to fall to the floor. Colin sat beside her.

        "It's alright...Love, please look at me..."

        Placing his hand on her cheek, he gave her a sweet and short kiss before going back for a longer and more passionate kiss. This calmed her until they heard the jingling of keys. Quickly, they jumped up and shut the closet before looking for a place to hide. With great speed, he moved fast and opened the window and allowed her to escape. She noticed how he lingered.

        "There's not enough time. I wanted this to be a surprise, but I guess now is a good a time as any." He looked back to see the status of Henry and found he had little time. "Take this key to the apartments in downtown Allis. The number is on there...I'll meet you there soon...Go." He pulled her close quick and kissed her, then shutting the window and disappeared.

        Getting into his car, she placed the key in the ignition and jetted off toward the apartment. Entering it, she locked the door quickly behind her and swept tears from her eyes. The apartment was exquisite. Metallic, black, and white and decorated clearly for the rich and famous. Portraits worth more than a middle class family's car sat lazily upon the walls looking upon the emotional actress as she crashed on the couch. It was a two level apartment, the first floor being the one she entered and the second being a collection of rooms, mostly empty and partially colored differently. One room stood out. It was painted light lavender and was set up with beautiful accents but clearly recently cleaned. Walking around to pass time and release her mind from Colin, she looked in the kitchen to find a fully stocked fridge, she found an incredibly expensive bottle of wine as well as her favorite cheesecake awaiting her.

        She found herself unable to eat. Lingering by her phone, she waited anxiously for some form of communication from him.

        Making her way back up to the room, she then found a closet full stocked of clothing. Expensive, beautiful, and even lace clothing. A beautiful silk nightgown laid gracefully on a hanger. Desperate for any form of comfort she could acquire, she slid into it-not keeping her distance too far from her phone.

        One hour ended up four until she went to call the police and a loud banging came on the door. She rushed toward the door and saw Colin, bloody and limping...
