The Apple Tree

Chapter 25

Liam
I didn't know what to say, I was never in a position that the life was at risk of someone I love. They new where she lived. This couldn't be happening.
'Baby, I know this is the last thing you want to hear but you need to take Corin and move, right now.'
She looked at me with her tear stained face, I couldn't tell what she was thinking. Im trained to do this, but looking at her like this, It felt like my whole world collapsed. Corin was in her bed asleep. This was my life, and I love it, but I can't put them in any more danger. I can't believe im thinking about it but maybe I was going to have to split up with her. But she needed me. God, I have to find this bastard.

Katie
I looked at him, he was in deep though, he looked so good in his police uniform. But he was so good, id hate to lose him, ever.
Maybe he was right, may be I had to take Corin and move straight away. I stood up abruptly, he caught my hand.
'Where are you going?'
He looked really scared, may be this is bigger than I think.
'I'm just going to pack, will you watch Corin?'
He nodded and lay down beside Corin. I grabbed all the boxes I had in the spare room. I start organising things into boxes. I didn'tknow where to go. A hotel was my best guess, that should be secure enough. After about an hour I was finished. I sat beside Corin as Liam took the boxes and put them into a police van.
'Hey buddy'
Corin rubbed his eyes as he woke up.
'We're going on an adventure, come on'
I took him into my arms where he quickly snoozed off again. One of the Police officers carried him down the stairs while I collected everything else. This could be the last time I ever see this house. I closed the door and handed the key to the front door in at the desk. This was it. It was all starting now.
