Because of Mr. Hendrix

Chapter 4: Its Over For Now

"What the heck. What are y'all. What have you seen. Never mind get out now!" The man yelled.

We all just stood there blinking.

"GET OUT NOW!!!!" The driver yelled again. He lunged forward at me. "You. You put them up to this."

I screamed as he pushed me to the ground. Drew Andy and Jacob were trying to get him off of me. As they came at the driver he punched drew in the stomach. As they fought I got up. Then I was thrown against a wall and I saw nothing but darkness. The driver had knocked me out.

When I woke up I was in the basement. How is it that that man is able to get me away from four people.  It's basically impossible.

The basement was really weird though. It had cement walls with chains hanging on them and a concrete floor.  It had no windows but three old lanterns.  Like the kind you light with a match.  The only furniture in the room was one wood chair that I am tied to.  The ropes were really old though so I just had to wiggle around for about 15 minutes before I got loose. I took the duck tape off my mouth and untied the rope that bound my legs.  I ran over to the huge metal door. It was heavy and it barley bugged. But I was able to get it open. I ran up the flight of stairs to another door. When I opened it I could here people calling for me the one voice I recognized most was Jes's. I ran straight to her voice.

"Jes! Jes!" I called.

"Shh.... Quiet did you hear that." I heard. "I heard something."

"Jes! Drew! Someone!" I called again.

"Chloe?" It was Drew.

I ran into the living room. So far it has been the most normal room in the house. It had 3 black couches and a few windows and a small old fashioned TV.  There was only 2 tables.  I spotted Drew and Jes in the corner of the room near the TV.  I ran straight to Drew.

"Chloe are you ok?" He asked.

"Ya I think so." I answered.

"Not for long," A voice said.

I turned to find the driver. Just as he started towards us Andy and Jacob ran in throwing stuff at him. The driver ducked most of them but sometimes got hit with some of the stuff. When Andy and Jacob reached us they ran out of stuff to throw.  The driver started towards us again. We ran in the opposite direction Andy and Jacob came in. Took two steps and fell.

This guy has a trap door in his living room! Who does that.

We had fallen through to the basement which is a one exit room. If we didn't move we will  be trapped.

"Hurry get up we have to get out of here or we will be trapped." I told them.

We ran to the door and all of us yanked on it. When we started to go up the driver opened the top door. We turned around and ran back into the basement.  We looked around the room for anything. I'm not sure what we were looking for but anything that will help us get out alive. As I looked I tripped backwards and grabbed one of the chains that's on the wall.  The chain made a click and a little door opened in the side of the wall.  Trapped door secret passageway who was this guy?

We crawled through the passage and ended up in the backyard. The more and more I see of this mans house the more creepy and scary he gets. The backyard had a beat up shed and tools and a few axes and saws everywhere.  The wooden fence was so tall you cant see over it.  When I turned back around the driver was getting out the passage.  I heard sirens in  the background and police yelling outside the front door. Before the police got to us the driver took out a knife and threw it at us.

"OW!!" I yelled in pain falling to the ground. The knife had lodged itself in my leg.

"Chloe!" Drew said coming down with me.

It wasn't bad but the pain was excruciating. Drew just sat there trying to help but he really didn't know what to do. He waited till the paramedics got there until he went to get my mom.

At the hospital they said I could go but had to come back to get the stiches out and should stay on the crutches for a while.

When i got back home my mom was talking to some policemen.

"Hi sweetheart. This is Captain Vick and Sgt. Jim. They're here to ask you some questions."

"Ok." I hobbled over to the couch and sat next to my mom. I still had to use the crutches which was a pain.

"Are you Andrew?" Vick asked looking at Drew who came in behind me.

"Just Drew." He said.

"Well just Drew, we need to ask you some questions as well." Vick said.

Vick and Jim took turns asking us about the driver and what happened. They asked us stuff like what did he look like? Where did you first see him? Why were you at his house? When did the violence start? Who started it? They asked so many questions i lost count of how many. Then Jim explained to us about how we were trespassing and that if the driver hadn't acted so violently he would have been let off easy.

"The main reason he is still in custody is because through further investigation we found out that he kidnaps and kills teen girls. I'm sorry to inform you that that's what was all over the walls. If you hadn't trespassed we wouldn't have found him and he's been eluding us for some time now. He's on part of the FBI's most wanted list." Vick explained.

After hearing this my mother, Drew, and I were speachless. We basically helped catch an FBI's most wanted criminal. We were also close to being his next victim. He could have killed us and just kept on going unnoticed. Of course my mom would have been able to give some clues but by then he could have been long gone by the time they conected the facts.

"Your mother said he almost hit you and your friend with his car. Well that's how it starts. If he hits you he gets out and kidnaps you then he kills you." Jim said.

In that case Jes and I would have just disappeared without a trace becasue neither Drew nor my mother had ever seen him before.

"That's horrible!" My mother exclaimed.

"He's most definitly going to jail though right?" Drew asked.

"Yes we aren't going to let an FBI's most wanted walk free. The evidence is solid the trial wont last long. He should be in jail in the next few weeks. A lot faster than most big trials." Vick said.

"Good." I said.

After explaining all this to us they left. They had no more questions for us. Drew and I told the others and thier faces had the same expression ours did. They couldn't believe it either.

Three days later the story was on the news. Along with the trial date. For the next few days I've had people trying to get information about the insident. They wont leave me alone. Day and night all they do is stand outside waiting to get a good picture. They practically chased Drew down the street when he came over today.

"Them people are monsters. One of them almost ripped my sleeve off." He said coming in the door.

"I know i went to let the dog out and some guy came out of no where and started  taking pictures and asking questions." I said.\

"Well it will all be over soon. The drivers final sentence will come out tomorrow so in a few days all this will go away. Things will go back to normal." My mom said.

What she said relieved me a lot. Normal sounded pretty good. We will finally be rid of that man and his stupid house at the end of the street.
