Chapter 12 - Meredith

I hear him mumble under his breath and he turns the engine off.

He reaches into one of this side pockets and pulls out a phone. i watch him dial a few numbers then he puts it to his ear.

"I need that favor, we're along Main Street."

He says and very quietly, I can hear the other man speaking. He had a deep voice and Harry nods slightly. Then he brings the phone down from his ear and shuts it off; putting it back into his pocket.

"Now what?"

I ask and Harry glances at me 

"We wait."

I couldn't help it but roll my eyes.

Within about 5 minutes, I look into the rear-view mirror and see a black van driving towards us. it pulls over to the side of the road and Harry steps out of the car. I turn to look back and I see the driver's side opening. A tall man steps out, wearing a black muscle shirt. It was Colin. I see them shake hands and they began to talk. I could barely hear them and so I open the car door and begin walking towards the two.

"Need a ride?"

Colin asks and smiles sweetly. He lifts his hand and scratches the back of his neck, his head leans down and his eyes came up to meet mine. His eyebrows raised and then suddenly his hand came out in front of him and he bent down as if he was bowing.

I look at Harry and he nods his head. I take Colin's hand and he stands up straight. It scares me how he towers over me. I'm a strong girl, but he's stronger than me and if he wanted to hurt me, he could.

"Take her home."

Harry commands 

"No problem."

Colin says slowly and he turns around, towards the van. I follow him, but I couldn't help but look back at Harry walking away. I look back in front of me and he opens the passenger door for me

"After you." 

He says and I duck my head to get in. I sit down on the hard seat and i watch him walk slowly to the other side.

He closes the door behind him and I get a feeling that I shouldn't have gotten in with him. Suddenly he reaches into his jacket pocket and takes out the sharpest knife I have ever seen. I open my mouth, about to scream, but he speaks

"Don't worry, it's not for you."

I close my mouth slowly and try to calm down as the van takes off with a rumble. 

Within the next 5 minutes, he kept stealing glances at me and finally I have had enough.

"What?"

I say loudly, and he looks away bashfully

"You look just like her"

He says in a low, playful tone and a moment of silence hits us.

"Who?"
I ask intrigued 

"Meredith"

He answers quietly, my heart skips a beat.

"Who was she?"

"Someone very special."

He begins

"We dated"

There was a short pause  

"And one night, I caught her with Harry"

I turn my head to look at him and my wide eyes travel to his.

"And she said she loved him."

"Meredith was a beautiful girl, but by the way he treated her; I knew he didn't love her. "

I could almost feel the pain that was buried inside him, but I didn't know what to say.

He paused and turned his head to look at me.

"That's why he kidnapped you."

"He thought you were her." 

He announced and I look at him. He was telling the truth, but why? Why would he tell me?

"Why are you telling me this?"

I ask and his gaze returns to the road.

"Your one of the good ones."

The van suddenly comes to a stop and it almost makes me fly forward, but I control myself by grabbing onto the edge of the seat.

Colin extends his arm across my legs to open the door and I duck my head to get out. 

As the door shuts behind me, the van takes off down the street. I look up in front of me and see a long brick sidewalk leading up to the large house.
