After my next investigation I fall asleep quickly.

"Diana! Come with me! Fast" Jason says and pulls me to a bush.

"There's the police!" Jason whispers.

"And what's your problem?!" I ask.

"They mustn't see me!"

"Why?!"

"Shut up!" He suddenly half whispers, half shouts. I try to go out of this bush but Jason pulls me back. "Jason! That hurts!" I tell him but he doesn't let me go.

"Jason! Let me go!" I hiss but his grip is too hard. My wrist hurts and I bet it's red or already blue and violet. "Sorry, Diane! i can't let you go. It's important!"

"Diana!" I almost shout but he covers my mouth with his other hand.

I can't call this police man over there or shout because he covers my mouth and he is much stronger than me...

It hurts and I can't really breathe anymore. I gasp but Jason ignores me. I can feel the sweat on my forehead.

My hands are also sweating and I try to hit Jason with my elbow.

"Don't move!" he hisses. "Don't move or I have to do something you don't want me to do!"

Tears stream down my face and Jason pulls me back when I try to stand up.

After that I don't feel anything and the only thing I see is a black hole.

"HEEEEEEELLLLPPPP" I scream "HELP MEEEE!"

"Wake up, Miss Collins! Wake up!" a voice says and I open my eyes.

"It was just a dream" I try to calm down "just a dream."

The nurse nods "Should I call the doctor?" she asks and I say "No, thanks."

Maybe it would be better to call him and tell him that I am sure that Jason choked me but I am afraid that it is just a dream and I don't want to say wrong things about him so I decide to tell nobody about the dream.

"Do you need anything?"

I shake my head, she says "good night" and goes away.

I wish I could sleep but there are so many things I think about...

...Louis...

...his secret...

...Jason...

...the situation in the park...

...my health...

But I fall asleep without another strange dream.

...

...

Today I can go home and I am very glad that I don't have to stay any longer.

My parents arrive at 1pm and take me home.

"I'm gonna sleep at Louis' house tonight" I tell them.

"How do you feel?" my mother asks.

"Everything's okay. Don't worry about me" I smile but I am still a bit hoarse.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yea"

"What do you want to eat?"

"What about rice and vegetables?"

"Good idea" she says and goes to the kitchen.

"Nellyyyyy! Darling!" I call my dog and she runs to me.

"I missed you!"

She barks and I caress her.

Suddenly the phone rings. "Diana Collins" I say.

Silence.

"Hello?" I ask "Who's there?"

I hear a sob and it sounds like Rose.

"Rose?"

"Yes?" she cries.

In this moment I know that something bad happened...

Something really bad...
