CHAPTER NINE "stab, stab, stab. no more randy"
"SO, WE'RE REALLY DOING THE PHONE TRACING THING THAT NEVER WORKS IN THE MOVIES." Mindy, Kirby, Chad, Liesel, and Ethan sat in the back of a white van as Kirby typed into the computer in front of her. Liesel sat in between her boyfriend and Chad, her and Ethan sharing a bag of Cheetos. "It'll be all, keep him talking, Sam. Two more minutes. I've almost got him."
"And then he hangs up just before we can get a lock, and oh shit, no phone trace, no killer. Time to die, I guess."
"I can trace a call in under fifteen seconds." Mindy and Liesel looked at each other as the Meeks girl sat up, speaking again.
"Well, you've got them out there as bait because the killer usually calls from somewhere nearby. And you think it's safe because its broad daylight in a public place?" The group of three watched the two woman go back and forth, Liesel letting out a sigh as she watched.
"Look, I am here, okay? And so is Bailey."
"This is exactly how our Uncle Randy died. Broad daylight. Public place. Yanked into a van. Stab, stab, stab. No more Randy." Kirby nodded in understanding as Ethan leaned over the Conner girl, offering Chad some of the Cheetos to which he just looked at him.
"I don't think he wants a cheeto, E."
"Hey, Sam, stay frosty out there, okay?" The older sister responded with an okay when her phone suddenly began to ring. The four friends in the car sat up to look at Kirby's monitors as Sam answered.
"You're gonna die, you know?"
"No, you're gonna die, Samantha! Choking on your own blood while I hack up your sister." Liesel watched as Kirby's monitor began to pinpoint the location that the call was coming from. "For a mastermind, you're not very bright. Waiting for me to call, desperately hoping I'm nearby so the police can grab me? But I'm not nearby. I'm a step ahead. Be seeing you, Samantha." The woman quickly hung up the call, asking Kirby if she had gotten the location.
"Yep, geolocation coming through right now." The reed woman looked at the screen, pausing for a moment. "He's on the upper west side. He's inside an apartment building halfway across the city."
"On West 96th?" Mindy, Chad, and Liesel all looked at each other as Kirby spoke to the two girls, asking how they knew that, to which Liesel answered.
"That's Gale's address."
..........
The group of friends sat in the hospital lobby, Liesel with her arms wrapped around Ethan's torso as he gently rubbed her back. No one spoke or did anything, they all just sat or stood in silence. The lobby doors slid open, Sam's neighbor boyfriend jogging towards her, his jacket in hand.
"Hey, hey. I got here as fast as I could." Liesel pulled away from Ethan, one of her arms still wrapped around the back of his torso as the brunette leaned her head against his shoulder.
"Did you?" Before the man could say anything, Mindy spoke up, obviously frightened.
"I'm scared you guys. I really don't want to get hurt again." Mindy looked at her brother, telling him she didn't want him to get hurt again either. The boy patted his sister's knee, placing his head on her shoulder to let her know that he was going to be okay. Tara slowly let her head fall against Mindy's, just like Chad had done just seconds before.
"So, what do we do now?"
"Maybe, he gets to win this time." Everyone's head shot up, looking at Sam in confusion as she continued. "He wants to punish me. Me. So maybe I let him. I'll just give myself up. If this is what I have to do to keep you safe, it's worth it." Tara looked up at her older sister, shaking her head as she told her no.
"No, we're not doing that, Sam. You went back to Woodsboro to protect me. Every single day, you make the decision to protect me. None of us would even be alive if it weren't for you. You have to let us protect you this time." Tears fell from Sam's eyes as she bean to shake her head, telling Tara no. Liesel moved from Ethan's grasp, walking over to Sam and Tara.
"She's right, Sam. We're a team, remember?" Mindy stood up, telling the three girls that they were family.
"Let's go! High five! Come on." Chad, Mindy, Liesel, Tara, and Sam, all put their hands in the middle when the girl's neighbor put his hand in too.
"High what?"
"It's an us thing, man. Sorry." The man nodded in understanding before removing his hand, making Sam sigh, telling the group that he was going to keep coming after them. "Then we'll be ready for him. I've been waiting for a chance to kill this dickhead." From outside of the group, Ethan spoke up.
"Isn't there somewhere safe we could just hole up in?"
"No, he's just gonna keep finding us." Liesel thought for a second, coming up with a plan in a record time. "I can tell you've got inner monologue happening, Liesel. Spill."
