How Far Will She Go?

Chapter Eighteen

Kate's POV

I watched as Scarlett left her sisters room. I could see the tears in her eyes as she came closer but I pretended not to.

"Let's go Kat." Scarlett whispered as she passed me. We walked in silence to my new car. She climbed into the truck refusing my help.

"Scar are you sure that you want to do this?" I asked as I pulled out of the parking lot.

"I've gone to far to not do this Kate. Cage has to be stopped it there will be other Charlotte's. I can't live with that hanging over my head." Scarlett says choking on her words. I reached over and layed a hand on her arm reassuringly.

"I understand. After this, do you want me to search for Charlotte's parents? We can go tell them that happened. And that they have all been taken care of." I said looking over at her and she nodded staying silent.

"So we're exactly am I going?" I asked turning to her.

"270 Mammoth Cave Road." Scarlett replied looking back at me. We rode in silence for a few more minutes as I turned onto the road.

I parked down the street and I could feel Scarlett looking at me. "We have to go on foot from here. Think you can make it?" I asked glancing sideways at her.

"Yeah. Do you have a gun I can use? I'll go around the back." Scarlett said holding a hand out.

"Scarlett we go in together. No splitting up." I said opening the gulf compartment.

"But if he sees us and tries to run he's going to go out the back. Someone needs to be there." Scarlett said trying to reason.

"Scar. You are going in first. If he sees you he'll try to take you out. He sees me he'll probably do the same thing but I think you should be able he one he sees first." I said grabbing my gun and getting out of the truck.

"Fine." I heard her mutter as I closed the door. A second later she climbed out of the truck using one crutch and holding a gun in her left hand.

"Scar aren't you right handed?" I asked we passed 269. She shook her head and I shrugged. "You ready?" I asked as we approached the house.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Scarlett replied opening the door. "Hello Cage." I heard her say as she stepped into the house.

"Scarlett what's the hell happened to you!?" I heard him exclaim.

"Cage you are under arrest for murder, kidnapping, robbery, and sexual assault." Scarlett said not answering his question.

"Bitch you ain't no cop. You can't arrest me. And you should put that gun down before I shoot you." Cage said as I stepped closer to the house.

"Your right. I ain't a cop but she is." Scarlett said as I stepped into the house gun raised.

"Cage Jones put your hands in the air!" I shouted aiming my gun at his head. He stared at me in disbelief and ignored me. He reached behind his back and pulled out his gun.

As soon as I saw the gun I pulled the trigger. I turned to Scarlett to see her gun pointed at the floor. I walked over to cage and kicked his gun away from him. I saw three holes in his chest and I turned to Scarlett.

"Scar. We did it. Now we have to search the house and make sure that he isn't holding anyone captive." I said with a small smile. "I've got to call for back up." I said pulling my phone out of my pocket as Scarlett gasped.

Dropping the phone I turned to her quickly. But she wasn't looking at me she was looking down the hall. "Henry? Isabelle?" Scarlett said in disbelief.

I looked down the hall and saw a couple standing there. I recognized the man as Henry Jones. "Is he dead?" Henry asked as they walked down the hall.

"Yes. I'm confused. I saw you two die." Scarlett whispered looking at them in shock.

"Cage wasn't completely inhumane. He helped use fake our deaths so we could escape. But then he locked us up in this house in the back bedroom." Henry answered as Isabelle wrapped Scarlett in a hug.

"Um. Do you two have any idea if there's anybody else being held here?" I spoke up from where I was standing.

"Who are you?" Henry asked looking at me strangely.

"Don't you remember? I'm the one who got away. I was there when you, your brother, and Steve kidnapped Scarlett." I said with a small smirk.

"In fact you are the one that I hit upside the head with the baseball bat." I said remembering and he smiled.

"Yeah I remember. I know that I'm going to have to go to jail for the crimes that I've committed. I want you to be the to arrest me." Henry said looking down at me.

"Okay then do you two know about the other rooms?" I asked watching Isabelle and Scarlett hug like lost friends.

"I don't really know." Henry replied turning to watch Isabelle and Scarlett.

"You and Isabelle go. Right now." I said pulling my house keys out. "Go to 1488 Oakland Street. You can stay in one of the rooms. Don't let the neighbors see you okay? Go through the back way." I said handing over the keys.

Henry and Isabelle stared at me and then he handed the keys back. "No. I'm not going to be on the run for the rest of my life. That's not how I want to start my family." Henry said shaking his head at me.

"We can talk about this later. Now you both need to go. Go in and make yourselves at home. Shower. Eat. Take care of yourselves. I'll be home in a bit then we'll talk. I can arrange for you to be a free man." I said handing the keys back and this time he took them and they both ran out the door.

"Kate you didn't have to do that." Scarlett spoke up as I turned to her.

"Yes I did. Now let's search this house." I said with a smile.
