Catch Me If You Can

Chapter Five

Chapter Five

Gage ran with Skylar cradled safely in his arms all the way to her cabin. He couldn't believe how worried he was for her, the only time he ever saw Sky cry was when her father died and she had to do his autopsy. She sobbed into his chest the whole way back to her cabin. By the time he got to her cabin she was our cold, he gently laid her down on her bed and removed her timberlands and pulled the sheets over her. He called himself on her phone and left his on speaker (kinda like a baby monitor), this way he could hear her at all times while he was back in the woods. He then left her cabin and rushed to the main cabin to look for some rope.

" Where's your rope!" He's rushed, out of breath. The bar tender pointed to a closet door, Gage rushed over and ripped open the door cursing as the door hit him in the face. He grabbed the rope and rushed back out of the main cabin and into the woods where Graham waited.

Phoebes' body was so stiff, and hurt like crazy, disorientated and frightened she tried to stand up to only get no where but pain. Her back felt as if a steam roller ran over her again and again a cry escaped her lips and she heard movement up above, scared that it was Mike looking to finish her off she screamed with her hands above her head, " Don't hurt me! I'll do anything you want just don't hurt me! Please. " she ended sobbing thinking that this was the end of her life.

Hearing the cry the came from below Graham moved closer to get a better look at Phoebe, but when she started screaming " Don't hurt me! I'll do anything you want just don't hurt me! Please. " he felt his heart break into a million pieces, he just wanted to hug her and tell her it was all okay and that nobody was gonna hurt her again. But he knew until Gage got back that her couldn't help her, so instead he whispered down to her, " Pheebs it's me, Graham, it's all gonna be okay just sit still don't move I don't want you to get hurt." He said as calm as he could.

Gage got back in the woods and he followed the trail back to where he left Graham. He saw Graham lying on the ground looking down to where he guessed Phoebe was. When Graham heard him he spun around onto his back with his gun pointed straight at Gage's head.

" Whoa hold up man!" Gage said while dropping the rope and holding his hands up in surrender.

" Oh, sorry dude, thought you were that psycho coming back to finish the job." Graham said while putting his gun back and getting up to help Gage out.

" You all right man?" Gage asked worried.

" I will when we get Pheebs back up here." He sighed running his hands over his face and through his hair. They tied the rope around Graham's waist and looped the other end around a tree. Graham started climbing done the side of the cliff while Gage held his steady. Graham reached Phoebe.

" Hey Pheebs." Graham said quietly while shaking her awake. All Phoebe did was groan, so instead of waking her up he scooped her up in his arms and started back up with a lot of help from Gage. Graham could hear Gage grunting but he knew he could get them both up. Once they got to the top Gage dropped the rope to help Graham, he grabbed Phoebe from Graham's hold, so Graham could haul himself up. Graham stood up and took Phoebe from Gage bridle style. They walked back to the girls cabin in comfortable silence.

Graham had a load of stress just lifted off his shoulders, he was so happy that they had Phoebe, but now he had to look over the damage. Graham could tell sleep was riding up on him and Gage. This night had been a very long night and Graham could tell this was the start of a new case, yes he did want to find whoever hurt Phoebe and beat them to death, but he wasn't going to; he knew very well that Phoebe was going to find whoever did this and give them a beating.

He felt bad that he had to do that to such a sweet girl, but he hope she went without a lot of pain. He was actually starting to like Phoebe, she had everything, beauty, funny, a well paying job, money, and best of all she was smart. He felt bad, but he had to eliminate her if he wanted to get away without anyone noticing, he knew if he carried out with his plan with her still alive that she and her stupid friends would figure out who had done it and he would go to jail for ever, this way when he does do it he can get away and no one will know and hopefully no one will find the body either.
