It Lives No More

Pine Springs

Cleaning up the apartment so the boys won't notice anything, Issac cleaned up from the altercation that Zinnia dealt with. He entered the bedroom to Zinnia on the phone, "Yes I know it sounds really strange but can you please sent Chief of Police Parker Shaw? For a break-in, yes I understand I could call the police from this town but Chief Parker Shaw helped me before so please. Tell him Zinnia Vance needs the police here, for him to be here, please. It's an emergency, okay, thank you."

"Zinnia Vance? Really?"

"I don't want him accidentally telling my grandfather, I really hope he gets here."

"Yeah." Issac heading to the bathroom, opening up the shower curtain to a very injured and tied up cult member, unconscious.

"He should get here ASAP. Probably alone but what should we do about him?"

"I honestly don't know, I didn't think tying him up in our bathroom was a wise choice. Especially if he's here alive and in our home. Shit. What if someone saw him entered here? Now that's bad."

"My question is, how did he get in? We locked in, there wasn't any sign of a break-in. He gotta had a key."
Curious as to how the man got in, the man suddenly woke up but was tased by Zinnia enough to knock him out.

"He didn't said anything but ready to take me out. Take the robe off, we'll give it only to Parker. We trust him with that."

Zinnia's phone rang, it was from Parker, she answered it and on speaker.

"Hello? Zinnia you there?"

"Yes it's me, Parker. You on speaker, Issac is here."

"Hey Parker."

"Hey you guys. Now I learned that you wanted me there, can I ask why as you can the police over there. I stopped someone from calling them as I want to hear it from you. What's going on?"

"Parker it's the cult member. A member attacked me earlier and I managed to fight him off and we have him here, unconscious and injured."

"How injured are we talking about?"

"Beating him with a bat multiple times kind of injury. Parker we need you here for this, please."

"We trust you, especially with something like this. And there's also something we need to talk about but in person. So please you have to get here soon."

"I'm leaving the station right now, is the man tied up? If so, make sure he doesn't escape, I'm heading over there as soon as I can. And yes, there's something I should tell you Zinnia but in person about something."

"Like what?"

"I'll tell you when I get there. Isaac, make sure he doesn't leave, you have what I gave you, right?"

"Yes I do."

"Alright. I'll see you soon." Hanging up the phone, Zinnia turned to Isaac, "What does he mean? What do you have?"
Isaac sighed, he walked off to the closet, taking a small box where he opened it to Zinnia being speechless, a gun was kept there.

"Don't get angry, Parker officially gave me this gun, it's registered. He gave me the gun when we left Pine Springs. Before we had Sadie, I had this so if anything happens, I take action. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this."

"You even know how to use it?"

"He showed me, been invited to go target practice with some of my coworkers so I know how to shoot. Look I know I should've told you but didn't know how. Until now."

"I can't believe this but I guess that's fair. You should've told me about this." They heard the door opened, the boys were home and Sadie is barking, they weren't sure if they should tell them but decided to wait. After hours of waiting, Isaac's phone rang and it was from Parker, they went to get him, Parker entered the apartment, went towards the restroom of Zinnia and Issa's, he handcuffs the man, "He looks very beat up, alright. What happened? I still have to report it."
