The New Girl

Chapter 31

Donner pulled out of the driveway and headed for home. Donner glanced over at Brad and said, “Call the station and if Connie's not there get someone to call her and get her back at the station pronto. She knows people that could get us those files on Heather. After that, call the DA and tell him what's going and what we need. I'll call the mayor and let him know what going on. If her obsession with fire is as bad as I think it is, she could burn the whole town down before we get back.” Brad gave a shudder and got on his phone. By the time they both got off their phones they had only 5 hours left to drive to get back home. “I had Connie to tell Tally to tail Heather and watch her every move. Luckily she was still at the station and she said she would get to work on everything and the DA said we could get those files unsealed since she was up to the same behavior.” Brad told Donner. Donner nodded and said, “Good. Mayor is none to happy and frankly I don't blame him.”

About 15 minutes away from Bay Heights Donner and Brad seen a plume of smoke over the town. “Holy shit,” Brad said. Donner stepped on the gas, bringing the car up to a 100. As they sped into town they seen where the smoke was coming from, the police station. Fire trucks were everywhere, as were people. Donner seen Connie standing in front of Kate's diner with Kate. They parked the car and ran over to them, “What the hell happened?,” Donner asked. Connie nodded over at Tally's police cruiser and saw him standing beside the car with Heather in the back seat. Donner walked over to Tally, “What happened. Tally looked at and shook his head then said, “I was trying to find her and when I finely did she pulled out off of Stanton Avenue,” Stanton Avenue was the street behind the station, “I didn't seen the smoke until I we were headed out of town in my rear view mirror. So I pulled her over and she's been in my car since. She started that fire boss. No, I didn't see her do it but that was where she was coming from.”

Donner patted Tally on the shoulder and said, “This isn't your fault Tally. You did a good job in pulling her over and hanging on to her, she could of started other one's. And I know she started this fire, now we just have to prove it and I don't think that's going to be hard.”

Donner did prove that Heather started the police station fire. There had been fire starter kits in her car and he had been right about Tally pulling her over and hanging on to her, she had not planed on stopping with just the police station. In court the Shilling's begged the judge to set bail but he wouldn't, stating that she was too dangerous to herself and the public. Heather Shilling had set in a jail cell for 5 months over in the next county since at the time Bay Heights didn't have a police station, thanks to her. However, the whole town came together under Dan Tanner and his construction crew and built a new police station in less then 6 months. They then delivered Heather Shilling back to Bay Heights where she set in jail another month before being sentenced. She was then sent back to the hospital that Coleen Jacobs had told them about. The Shilling's had decided to move there to be close to their daughter.

Donner finished construction on his house adding four extra bedrooms turning it into a sorta halfway/safe place to have fun house for kids like Tessa and Ethan, who were basically good kids but didn't have good parent's. Tess now lived at the house and was so much happier because of it. Andrea ran it, with her psychiatric doctorate and her way with kids, she was a natural. She had spent a whole week interviewing people from town who wanted a job of having fun and taking care of kids. One of the people she hired as head of house was Maggie Butts, Sheriff Butts widowed wife. Ethan worked with Andrea at the safe house. He was scheduled to go to college in the fall of 2014 in Augusta Maine majoring in Psychology with a minor in writing. He and Lyric were getting along great, their sweet and innocent love blooming.

Donner and Lyric were working on their issues. Lyric had actually called Donner dad a few times and it tickled him pink to hear her call him that. Andrea and him were getting along great too. Donner and Ethan still lived in the basement. Donner and Andrea were scheduled to marry again next year, he wouldn't upstairs until then, in a beach wedding with the whole town in attendance. Lyric was going to be maid of honor and Ethan would be best man. Kate's diner would be catering all the food.

Mayor Kent Cummings was happy to have his town back to normal and before the Shilling's moved he made it clear that they were not welcome here now or ever. Judge Harris was kicked off the bench and for now Judge Thomas was the only Judge in town. Donner was over the police station and Brad Shelly was second in command. Mama's Pizza was still thriving. Melody, Lyric, Ethan and JaCoby were all great friends now. They all worked together at Mama's Pizza on the weekends and helped out Andrea at the safe house when needed. As for Sugar and Koda, they were somewhat mascot's of Bay Heights, they relished the attention they got from everyone and were extremely happy to be living under the same roof.

Authors note: Thank you all for reading my little story. I've enjoyed writing it and was extremely happy to see the numbers raise. Thank you all very much. This was my first story with paranormal stuff in it. I realize I didn't instill much paranormal activity in it. However, I am working on a new book which will have more paranormal stuff in it. Not sure what the name will be as of yet so just keep an eye out for it for stuff I've written. Again, thanks for the support, followings and reading.

This story is a work of fiction, names, places and such are a figment of my imagination. This story may not be reproduced or copied by anyone, other then me, for any purposes. Thank you and hope you enjoyed this book. Scherrie
