It's Time To Move On

Chapter Fifteen

(Detective Harley's POV)

"Where the fuck did he go?!" Tom shouts out punching the wall at the same time.

"What's going on Tom and where the hell did Bridget go?!" The blonde lady asks panicking.

We lost him again, how the hell did we end up losing him again? That man is dangerous and we need to find him as soon as possible.

After finding out who he was I got his whole record up and he's already been in jail for molesting women.

"Miss, I'm going to ask you to leave with the police for the moment" The blonde lady makes a face and starts questioning me again.

Tom's phone starts ringing and I lean forward towards him to see that it's an unknown number.

"Tom it might be him" I say.

Tom picks up the phone and all I can hear is laughter and someone crying before the phone gets cut off.

"That son of a bitch!" Tom quickly runs out of the shop before I can even catch up to him.

"Where's Bridget, please I need to know" The blonde lady starts crying looking around frantically.

Running a hand over my face I tell the men to take her with them. I need to go after Tom before he gets himself into a bigger mess.

Leaving the shop I get into my car and go to Miss Case's apartment because I know that's where the guy is at the moment.

If he does anything to hurt her then Tom will be the death of him and I won't let him go as well. I will make sure that man stays in prison for the rest of his life.

Putting the sirens on I watch as the cars move out of the way so I can go past them, turning right I see Tom's car parked there as well as Miss Cases.

Locking the doors I get out and run into the building. Pressing the button for the elevator I ignore it and run up the stairs because she only lives on the top floor anyway.

Once getting up all the stairs the door to her apartment is open and it's filled with silence.

"Tom?!" I shout out but I get no answer.

Taking the gun out of my pocket I walk further into the room and see red marks on the floor realising that its blood walking further on I see the suspect on the floor.

He's got a hole on his forehead indicating that he got shot, did Tom shoot him or did Bridget? Kicking him slightly he doesn't move showing that he's dead.

"Tom?" Walking further into the room I see Tom crouched on his knees with his back shaking, please don't tell me it's what I think it is.

"She's dead" He cries out in pain.

Putting the gun on the floor I slowly walk in front of Tom not wanting to look at the scene but I can't help it.

Bridget is in a white wedding dress, her eyes open which looked to be filled with pain with blood covering the white dress from the chest- he shot her.

I didn't know her that well but I can feel my heart break because she was probably the nicest person that I've ever met in my life and my heart breaks even more for my friend.

"Come on man, tell her to say something" Tom says looking into my eyes.

Tears are pouring down his cheek as he continues to hold Bridget's dead body in his arms.

"Tom" I say closing my eyes in pain.

"I'm an idiot, I'm still in love with her and I never told her. I kept pushing her away because I thought she would be safer that way but I made things worse, this is my entire fault. It's all my fault that she's dead now, I've lost her forever!"

Looking at Tom hold Bridget makes me realise that he never moved on from her, he told her to move on yet he never did himself and kept himself in denial all through them years.

Tom leans his head down and brings her body up as he cries into the crook of her neck. So this is how their story ends, the story of Bridget and Tom- forever.
