What's Done In the Dark

Chapter 26

Chris woke up early and went to Lowe's to buy some items. His list consisted of a Shovel, rope, duct tape, and 3 bags of dirt.

He had been watching How To Get Away With Murder on Netflix and plus this wasn't his first time sending someone away. He was hip to the game and knew what it took to make people pay for the damage they caused.

Now all Chris had to do was set up the perfect trap and Ashley would be gone forever.

Ant left early from Tasha's room to go handle some business. He pulled up in front of the hospital and a short caramel woman in her mid 20's got in the car.

"Hey baby" she said giving him a kiss on the lips.

"What's up"? Ant said kissing back.

"Nothing it's been a long day you know dealing with patients and everything".

"Yeah I know. We'll I need you to come by the apartment tonight when you get off".

She looked at him. "Is something wrong"?

"Nah, I just want you to come over" he said looking at her.

Her pager beeped.

"Okay I'll be over tonight baby. I have to get back to work" she kissed him before getting out the car.

Ant drove off in deep thought.

Ant had been daring Lauren for 2 years now and everything was going great. He met her at one of his home boys cookout. She was there with her friends having a good time.

What caught his eye about her was that she had a lot of confidence and unlike most females she approached him first. She had natural hair that was reddish brown with caramel skin and she stood about 5'3.

They were friends for a couple months before they started dating. She was everything that he wanted in a woman. She was beautiful, educated, and they shared the same ambition.

Ant knew he had to tell Lauren about Tasha and vice versa but he didn't want to hurt Lauren. He knew that telling her Tasha was pregnant would destroy everything they built together but he had no choice.

Lauren is where his heart is... Tasha is just where his dick currently sleeps; but he had to stop it all.

He dialed Tasha but hung up before it started ringing. If he was going to tell anyone about this, he knew it had to be Lauren first.

Chris dialed Ashley but she didn't answer so he left a voice mail saying that he wanted to see her and do something romantic.

Ashley was tutoring Darrell so she didn't really have time to hang out with Chris as much as she wanted to.

"You know he's no good for you don't you"? Darrell asked looking at Ashley.

"Who isn't good for me"? She asked.

"Chris...he isn't a relationship guy so whatever you think you guys have going on, stop thinking it".

"Well he seems to like me" Ashley snapped.

"He's my boy I know him" Darrell said.

Ashley checked her phone.

"Look I've got to go... Chris wants to hang out".

Darrell didn't want to show it but he was a little upset that she didn't see that he was the one who was into her, but he refused to push himself on her.

"Have fun" he gave her a hug before closing the door behind her.

When Ashley met up with Chris they drove down to a lake for a picnic. She had on some blue jeans with a few holes cut in them, a red tank top, with some black, red and white Jordans.

"You look beautiful" Chris said smiling at Ashley.

"Thanks so do you" She smiled back.

"I brought some turkey sandwiches, fruit, and some drinks" Chris said pulling them out the picnic basket.

"This is really sweet" Ashley grabbed a sandwich and bit into it.

Chris made sure he had his book bag close to him with all the items he picked up from Lowes.

Ashley wanted to tell Chris about what Darrell said but she didn't want to ruin any friendships, so she kept quiet.

An hour went by and all the food was gone, they were full; all they had left were drinks.

"Let's try something new...lay down and close your eyes" Chris whispered in Ashley's ear.

Ashley laid back, rested her head on the blanket and closed her eyes.

Chris went into his bag and grabbed his tape. He checked to make sure Ashley's eyes were still closed before ripping off a piece of tape.

He put a piece of duct tape on her mouth and grabbed her by the throat.

Her eyes popped open and she tried to scream but the tape blocked it. She tried to remove his hands but he was too strong.

Chris's POV

DIE BITCH.... JUST DIE

Ashley grabbed one of the wine bottles that were close by and smashed it against his head.

He fell to the side grabbing his head and she got up and ran. She knew the area a little bit but she was far away from campus.

She hurried up and dialed Darrell hoping and praying he would answer. When be didn't answer she called him again and this time he picked up.

"Help me" she whispered through the phone as tears ran down her face while she was running looking for somewhere to hide.

"Ashley what's wrong"? Darrell screamed through the phone.

"I'm at Jordan lake and I need some help. I'm going to try to find a gas station or something close to the lake" She whispered trying not to panic.

"Okay I got you Ashley but what's wrong"!? Darrell screamed again.

Her phone died.

"Ashley" she heard a voice yell a few miles away.

She jumped and continued running through the woods. She needed somewhere to hide before he found her....before it was too late.
