THE COP AND THE POP STAR

CHAPTER 74: SHOTS

                                                                                      ALYSSA'S VIEW:

I can't stop from crying, and I feel so sick. I feel like throwing up.

I am praying the whole way.

Praying that God finds a way to stop this guy, but that he keeps Tom far away, that he keeps Tom safe, and Judy and the guys, and Jordan, and that God protects everyone, and doesn't let anyone get hurt except for me. I'd rather die than have this guy kidnap me and rape me, so if it's not in his will for me to be rescued than to just let me die. But I can not have Tom getting hurt.

This monster tried to kill my dog. And he said he would stab Tom then make him drink poison. I have to protect Tom. I did the right thing.

                                                                                                   TOM'S VIEW:

Booker is going over 100, and it still feels like we aren't going to get there in time.

Judy is crying. I'm crying. I'm praying to God, please I know that I haven't been good like I should have been, I know I let you down, but please God don't punish me by taking Alyssa. If you need to, just take me instead. I've lived a good life. Alyssa is an angel, and she needs to be free, to live her life safely. Not being held prisoner and raped and tortured. Alyssa is a light, and she helps so many people, with her kindness, please God do whatever you have to do, to save her.

If we can't save her, please let one of the other officers save her, or you save her with divine intervention. Whatever it takes. Please don't let this monster hurt her in any way, or rape her.

The thought of that monster touching Alyssa, I want to kill him, and God help him, when I get out of this car, if they are still there, after we get Alyssa safe, I'm going to kill him.

I'll gladly give up my badge and head to prison. If he touches Alyssa he's a dead man.

I said, "If he touches Alyssa he's a dead man. If I can get my hands on him. How could I let this happen? Why did I think it was okay to listen to Adam and leave her."

Judy said, "It's my fault Tom. You can say it."

I said, "It's not your fault. I put both you and Alyssa at risk, by leaving to go to work. I'm not blaming you, or upset with you. I'm just upset. And dammit Alyssa, why would you do this. Why would you risk your life to protect me. She should have called me and told me, then I could have found this guy. But she would have been safe."

Dennis said, "Because stupid as it is for her to risk her life like this, that's the kind of person she is, she cares about you, she cares about Judy. Judy was right there, and she could have told Judy, but she didn't because she knew Judy would not let her leave or would have insisted on coming with her."

                                                                                               ALYSSA'S VIEW:

 I made it to my house.

I froze in fear, and could barely breathe, was having another panic attack, as I saw a tall man approach me.

I had looked around hoping that there was someone out on the street, walking their dog, or driving by, but nothing, this street was quiet, not a soul out.

I wanted to lock the door and stay in the car, so I did. But that made him mad.

He started cussing at me. And then he was shouting at me to unlock the door.
