Raw terror racks through me, as Molly and Bethany cling onto me. What is with me being in the middle? My eyes take in as Zack hits the wall and Brit slams the chair in front of him, but my brain doesn't register it completely.
"Get the salon closed down and get home and lock the doors. He got loose." Parts of Zack's words register and It clicks he is on the phone with Chasity.
"What do we do now?" I find my voice and get out of the shock.
"Now we get you three out of here and safe somewhere." Zack sighs getting off the phone.
"My parents house. He wouldn't know about them."
Bethany is already on the phone and I hear when she tells my mom we will be coming over not to open the door or make any calls to tell anyone.
Brit takes and puts her behind him as Zack puts Molly behind her then I am behind Molly with him behind me.
A few other cops come out and walk us all to the car. The three of us are placed in the back together. Brit gets his truck and Zack drives the car.
"Is he really stupid enough to come back for us?" Molly barely whispers.
"Yes he is because we all got him put on death row and the two of you would be considered unfinished business in his eyes, with one as a loose end." Zack's tone is sharp with the situation we are in.
We all duck down as low in the seat as we can get and can't see out the window. Every once in a while Zack will glance back at us when he is stopped at a light and I can tell he is watching everything around as he drives.
I hold my breath as sirens sound off and go flying past us.
"They are going out to see if they can find the car he stole." Zack whispers back to us.
Zack slows and pulls in to where we are covered in darkness, signaling that we pulled into my parents garage. Zack opens the door and we slowly shuffle out of the back.
Mom holds the door open and we walk right into the kitchen area. She drew the shades to where no one can look in and Chasity is sitting at the table.
"I'm not leaving you guys this time." Chasity gets up and hugs us all.
"It would be best if you didn't. Dason knows who you are and how much you mean to all of us from the dinner at the restuarant." Zack hugs her, before pulling me in his arms.
Dad walks in with Brit through the back door.
"I spoke with Chief and he wants us to all stay together because right now we are targets for Dason. Gaperal is on patrol trying to track him down since Dason may not see him so much of a threat like we are."
"Where did you park? I doubt he knows your truck but we can't put nothing past him." Zack looks over.
"It is at the police station and I walked here from a block down through the woods after catching a ride with Gaperal."
Zack nods and we all fall into a silence. We move into the den where there is no windows, while the guys have Mom and Dad go back out and act like it is just another day.
Mom walks in with a platter of sandwiches saying we need to eat, but honestly I don't even feel hungry. I grab one just to please Mom and slowly nibble on it. The sickness I am feeling is not even just because of what is going on, but because I got a little happy news for Zack as we are finally expecting a little bean.
I am seven weeks pregnant and I was going to tell him tonight. I even have the little gift bag on the table with a coffee cup in it saying worlds best dad. I knew my last cycle was nothing but some light spotting and it was because it was just the beginning stages of pregnancy.
My phone starts to ring and Zack looks to me. I pull it out and it is an unknown number. It stops ringing a text comes in.
"I will find you my love. It is just a matter of time and when I do you and your friends are mine. All I could think about is you." I read out loud.
"Turn your phones off. That is the best thing to do for all of you, along with pulling the battery and sims card out. It would stop him from tracking any of the numbers he may have or remember." Zack gently tells us.
We all start following exactly what he said to do.
"Zack, their phones have been on this entire time. If he got access to a computer some how then he can see this was the last location they were at." Brit grimaces.
My eyes widen. "You mean he could know of my parents house? We may not be safe here then."
Zack sighs and puts a call into Chief and sure enough if tracked it shows our last known location. Brit and Zack work to figure out where we can all go with Chief stepping up and walking into my parents house.
"We can get them to my place. Susan can help all of you into our basement. There aren't any safe houses close by that we could try and get all of you too. Along with your parents now since it pings this house, an Officer will take them to their house that wasn't involved. We can't put nothing past Dason due to his job he would know his way around a computer. Just him having that phone is enough for him sadly."
"From the way everything looks he has been free for about three hours now, from when the wreck happened." Chief huffs out.
"We can almost guarantee he is in town somewhere." Brit adds in.
"I got all our guys out and searching so far the stolen car has not been spotted." Chief rubs his face.
"Dason would know all the back ways and hiding spots." Zack speaks up.
We get a move on and slip back into the car and hide down again. Chief hands vest to the guys before we leave out and make our way to Chief's house where Susan is waiting on us.
Stepping out of the car we are all aware of everything.
"Hey! Remember me?" His voice speaks up just as we get in front of the house stopping us all in our tracks.
Zack pushes me behind him along with Chasity. Brit pushes Bethany behind him and Chief has Molly behind him. All three pull their guns and point it to Dason who has a weird gun in his hand, pointing straight at us.
