There's No Escaping Goode

Chapter 8

"Of course I was with Tommy. Tommy and I were each other's first everything. And our feelings for one another wee stronger than anything. Nothing or anybody would have been able to break us apart," Teagan said.

"Not true. Tommy going crazy and killing everybody at Camp Night Wing, that managed to tear the two of you apart. But you're too damn stubborn to want to go and admit that to anybody. Stop trying to deny the truth. The moment that Tommy lost his damn mind, things between of you were over," Nick said.

"Keep telling yourself that, if it's what helps you sleep at night. Because I know Tommy well enough to know that he would never snap on his own like that. I believe that someone said something to Tommy to make him snap. I believe that Tommy was provoked until he finally snapped and did what he did at Camp Night Wing," Teagan defended Tommy. Deep down Teagan knew that Tommy didn't snap and go on a killing spree all on his own. She knew Tommy like the back of her hand. Someone had to have sent him over the edge to do what he did.

Hearing Teagan talk so highly of Tommy, even after he went on a killing spree at Camp Night Wing, this only angered Nick.

Why the hell does Teagan still think so highly of a guy who killed people? Hell, why is she even thinking about her ex, Tommy Slater? She's married to me. I can't keep having her mind wandering back to Tommy Slater. I need Teagan to focus on me and our future together as husband and wife.

"What will it take to get you to let go of your feelings for Tommy? I'm trying here. I don't want people thinking that we are having troubles," Nick said.

"If you think about it, we aren't having the smoothest marriage. I go out of my way to make it clear that I don't want any part of this marriage. But I also know that you won't let me go that easily. Even if I ask for a divorce, you won't give me one. You will only find ways to keep me by your side," Teagan said.

"I saved you from a miserable life. You can give me a little slack in this marriage. Maybe even a few kids to help keep my bloodline going," Nick said.

Teagan thought about what Nick said about wanting to have a family with her. Teagan wasn't going to allow this opportunity to slip through her fingers. "I'll give you a baby like you want. But there is one thing that you must agree to, if I agree to start a family with you."

Nick gave Teagan a bit of a skeptical look, unsure if he would like the next sentence that was gonna make its way out of Teagan's mouth. "What are you asking for?"

"Should we have a son, I want to him our son Thomas," Teagan said, knowing that she got Nick right where she wanted him.

Nick tried his best to keep his cool. Though he hates the idea of naming his son after his wife's ex-boyfriend, who went crazy. "Why don't we wait until we get home to discuss that? We don't want to risk anyone else listening in on our conversation."

"I'm not going to let you push it away. So, if you don't bring it back up the moment that we walk through the door of our home, then I will deny you everything that you want," Teagan said.

Deena was at the home cleaning up the mess that was left behind by her father, all while talking on the phone with Kate. While Deena was throwing beer cans and beer bottles away in the trash, when she noticed someone in a costume standing out looking in her window. "He Kate, do you have anyone stalking you outside of the window where you're at right now?"

"No. Simon didn't see anyone outside either. Why? Did you suddenly gain a stalker or something," Kate asked.

"Very funny Kate. But I think I know who it is that is outside of my house. I think it's Sam's boyfriend, who is looking to finish what he started. I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind," Deena said before placing the phone on the counter, before rushing out of the house, looking around for any sign of the person who was standing outside of her house. Deena walked back inside and picked the phone back up.

"So Deena, did you manage to give that prick known as your ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend a piece of your mind," Kate asked while Simon walked into the kitchen.

"I have blood on my shirt," Simon said.

"Then find a shirt that fits you and wash that in the washing machine," Kate said before turning her attention back to Deena on the phone. "Sorry. Simon needed my help. So, back to discussion at hand. Did you give him a piece of your mind?"

"I didn't get a chance. When I walked outside of my house, he was no longer there. I even walked all around the house, thinking that maybe he went running around the back of my house. There was nobody around my house," Deena explained.

"That's weird," Kate said hearing the door open behind her. Kate turned and walked to the back door, noticing that it was wide open. "Hold on Deena. I'll be right back." Kate put the phone down walking over to the living room, glaring at Simon.

Simon noticed that Kate was standing there glaring at him. "I know that look. You only give me that look, when I had done something wrong."

"You're darn right you did something wrong," Kate snapped at Simon.

"What did I do wrong," Simon asked genuinely confused as to why he was getting glared at by Kate.

"What did I tell you about shutting doors, and keeping them shut, that way the kids don't go walking out of the house. Do you want to be the one who explains to their parents, that their children were taken," Kate asked.

Simon thought about what Kate had just said before it clicked in his head. "Wait, why are you blaming me for the door being left open? I didn't even go outside."

"Then why the hell is the back door open if you didn't go outside and I didn't go outside. And as you can see the kids didn't go outside. Do you think that some homeless man managed to open the door, and decided to walk into the house thinking that nobody was home," Kate suggested.

"I don't know. But you can go and check it out," Simon said.

"Oh no you don't. You are going to go in front of me and protect me from whatever danger that might be hiding, waiting to jump out and stab me or something," Kate said, before grabbing hold of Simon, pulling him up off the floor. "Get moving."

Simon made his way to the kitchen with Kate behind him. When he and Kate entered the kitchen when they heard something in the laundry room.

Simon gave Kate a worried look. "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah, it sounds like someone is in the laundry room, sniffing something," Kate whispered to Simon. "Look inside and see what the sick creep is sniffing."

Simon quietly snuck closer to the laundry room door, and spotted a guy wearing a skull mask and grim reaper looking cloak, sniffing the shirt that Simon was wearing before, that had Sam's blood stained on it. "The guy is sniffing my shirt."

This caught the killer's attention, causing him to look at Simon and Kate.

"Oh crap. Run," Kate said before she and Simon grabbed the kids running out the door. Kate dropped the kids off at the neighbors, before she and Simon hopped in the car driving all the way to Deena's house.
