The Strange Good Girl

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Home Free

Lisa stared back at the sheriff and he looked her up and down with a worried expression. "Can I come in?" He tried to peek into the house. "I know you can't talk, they told me what happened... is he here?" Lisa's eyes went wide. "No, don't worry I'm not here to arrest either of you. I just need to talk to you, I promise." She looked back at Jason.

Jason nodded unsure of what he was up to and stared him down as she closed the door behind him. The sheriff looked at him with fear in his eyes. The girl looked up at him and rolled her eyes as she took him by the hand and led him into the kitchen with her and the sheriff followed.

She offered him a seat and he sat at the kitchen table while she retrieved a notebook and a pen. She sat across from him and Jason stood behind her still refusing to let his hand leave his machete. Grabbing him by the hand she tried to get him to sit but he brushed her off and remained standing behind her, giving the sheriff a menacing look. "Just ignore him. He's a bit overly protective." She wrote and slid it over to the sheriff. "If you say so..." He smiled nervously then cleared his throat.

"I know what you did at the hospital and what you've been doing since you came here. We know about him as well." Lisa tilted her head to one side and stared back at him. "But I'm not here to stop you. I just want to let you know that your house is safe from our jurisdiction, just as the camp is. I don't know if you remember, but you've met my mother. You were at the grocery store when you met her." Lisa nodded remembering the crazy old lady that knew about Jason and her Mom. "I actually didn't believe her at first until I started to watch you two and saw the surveillance tapes from the hospital. But you're safe from the law... for now. Just try and stay out of our radar and you two should be fine. Your house is now considered part of Camp Crystal Lake. So that means whatever happens here stays here, if you know what I mean..." Lisa nodded and quickly wrote something down and handed it to him.

Jason understood most of what the sheriff was saying and watched curiously as he read what the girl had written to him. "Jason..." He said and his attention was back on the sheriff. "... I'm not here to take her or you away. I just need you two to keep the killing within the camp or else if we catch you outside or your territory then we'll attempt to take you away." Jason nodded slightly and the sheriff stood from the table.

"Alright I'm going to leave now... not exactly comfortable being here..." Lisa nodded and showed him to the door. "Oh and one more thing. You're both wanted for murder so I convinced them that you two ran off to another state so I'd hide any vehicle's you have. And you probably shouldn't show your face in town either." Lisa shrugged and was about to close the door. "Oh and please don't kill any of the locals. If any of them for some reason come by here just scare them away. Killing random campers is one thing, but I don't like having to cover up that kind of stuff." She nodded and closed the door locking it behind her. She stared out the window and watched him drive away.

She stared up at Jason and he finally relaxed his hand off of his machete. They both exhaled loudly and stared at each other for a moment. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him resting her head on his chest. They were basically home free, and now she didn't have to destroy her house. She'd need to go and retrieve the things that she put in Jason's cabin back at the camp if they were going to be staying in the house.

Jason looked down at her and lightly traced his finger over the scar on her face then over her lips. She stared into him as if to telepathically tell him something and he saw the look in her eyes that told him that she was truly his and no one could take her from him. The girl hugged him for a few moments while he stroked her hair then she went into her room and he followed.

Once she had her boots on she finished the dishes in the sink, her and Jason walked in silence back to the camp to retrieve the things she needed back at the house. When they got to the cabin Jason glared at her when he saw the pile of things she left next to the hidden door that lead below.
