Criminal -Neil Westfall-

Chapter Forty Three

Earlier That Day

Kat

Without Neil here I've been all over the place. He didn't pay the gas, cable, or elect bill. So I had to go buy a heater and some movies so I wouldn't get bored nor cold. I only had enough to pay for the elect bill. I don't know how people do it at my age. Once that was done I barely had enough for food. I knew Neil said he would be back shortly so I wasn't really worried about the money part.

My day was slow, very slow today. I wanted to relax but I couldn't. I kept having a bad feeling about something. I couldn't tell what though. My anxiety kept getting worse and worse towards the end of the day. Around noon got a really weird call.

"Kat McKinnon?" It was an unfamiliar voice talking through the phone. How did they know who I was?

"Maybe."

"Do you know a Neil Westfall by any chance." I was starting to think if this had anything to do with the Andy situation. I don't say anything for a minute or so. "Ma'am?"

"Depends on who's asking?" I listen as they speak.

"I am agent Smith from Bismark, North Dakota. We need to speak with you if you are willing. We have a few agents in Pierre, South Dakota right now." This guys voice was relaxed and calm. I could tell this wasn't his first rodeo. I tense up anyway.

"What about Neil?"

"Before we tell you more Kat, my agents need to talk to you. Are you willing to talk them today?"

"I'm willing." After that I gave them Neil's address, I probably shouldn't have done that but I needed to know what they were going to ask or say. Was it about the club? Andy? Jackson's death? I was nearly having a panic attack. They never said a time so I didn't want to go anywhere.

At one point during the day when there was a knock on the door, I thought it was them so I ran to the door. I swing it open only to see John.

"Hey, you waiting on someone?"

"Yes. No. I mean yes. Sorry." He laughs soft and my face turns red. "Hey Jonathan. How did you know where I lived?" I cross my arms and lean against the door frame.

"I asked Jeremy so I could check up on you. You haven't been around the theater since that one biker gang was in town." I smile softly thinking how sweet that was then remember what happened on that day. I nodded looking outside.

"Yeah, I've been preoccupied with school. I just finished."

"That's great! We should go out to celebrate Kat. Really, I'm proud of you. Jeremy said to hang out with you for that and for your birthday tomorrow." He smirks and grabs something off the porch. He pulled out some balloons along with a stuffed bear and two boxes of wrapped presents. I blush and smile big. "One's from Jeremy and I'll buy you one too." I giggle and gesture him to come in.

"This means a lot John, thank you so much." I hug him once he places the gifts on the kitchen table.

"Now you can't open these until tomorrow, understand me ma'am?" I nod then giggle as he looks around. "Nice place-" He was interrupted by the door. I completely forgot the agents were coming.

"Jonathan, I'm sorry but the people I were waiting on are here. So I'll text you later. Okay?" I was a little scared he would be upset or mad but he wasn't at all.

"Of course." He smiles big and we walk to the door. He goes to walk out but before he does, he gives the people in the nice suits weird looks. He looked at me then got worried. I just gave him a smile showing him it was alright.

"Please, come in." They gave a small smile while walking. I showed them to the living room. They sat on the couch as I sat on the chair next to the couch.

"Before we talk or go on about anything else we need you to sign some papers because this conversation we are about to have will not, and I repeat, will NOT be shared with anyone else. No local police, not even the FBI. It will be between us only." I knitted my eyebrow together and nod slowly starting to think this is a little too sketchy. I sign the papers with my name then wait for them to put the papers back in their briefcases.

"So what is this about?" They pulled out some more papers and other photos.

"What do you know about Neil Westfall?" One started out.

"What do you mean?" I cross my legs.

"What do you know about Neil and his club." The other man stepped in.

"Not much, why?" They give each other's a look then focus back on me.

"There is an APB out of Neil Westfall. Everyone who is involved is now under arrest for hiding a wanted criminal." My mouth drops down to the floor and my eyes pop out of my head.

"Am I?! I didn't even know about this?!" They both shook their head. I big relief was brushed off my shoulders. I couldn't last In prison or even jail for that matter.

"You aren't because we did our background on you. But the rest of the club members knew." I think started thinking.

"Why is there a APB out on Neil?" I started shaking. They didn't answer at first then one cleared his voice.

"Neil was involved in a mass murder. He ran before we could even get him." I shake my head.

"He said his father killed him mother so he did what he had to do.." One gives me a gaze.

"So that's what he's telling you? No, no, no. There were no signs of the mother being harmed in any way. He killed both his parents and many other people. He probably would've done the same to the brother. But we saw someone already got to him before he could. That's what happens when you are in a bike club. It goes straight to your head." As one talked the other laid down some photos of the crime scene on the coffee table. Why would they show me dead people, Neil's dead mother and father. I stared at them not knowing what to say.

"We need to know where he is Kat. We will protect you." I look up at them.

Without hesitation I tell them, "Bismark." They thank me and give me their card and number. They leave and I didn't know what to do.

I called Neil. I couldn't believe him, I couldn't believe he lied to me once again! "Hello? Kat, I missed you." I hear his words slur.

"How could you lie to me Neil?!" I yell through the phone.

"What are you talking about? Baby, calm down."

"Do not call me baby! You have an APB out of your ass! You lied about your parents, lied about it all! Some agents came to the house today and asked me where you where! I told them that you were in Bismark you dick!" I was just so angry at Neil, I couldn't believe him anymore. Not even when he say I love you.

"What the fuck Kat!!"
