Somebody Is Watching

Chapter 9

Later on that day we got a call from the detective. D"You guys need to come in as soon as possible." Jared drove us to the police station immediately. When we got there we went back to the detective's office. D"We had witnesses yesterday." Me"That's good right?" D"Yes, but the licence plate number was traced back to a girl named Grace Allen." Me"I know Grace!" D"Unfortunately when the police officers went to her apartment they found her dead." I started to cry and Shannon hugged me tight. S"Who was Grace?" Me"The receptionist at the studio." D"I am so sorry. We are looking into it as much as possible." S"When did they find her?" D"Last night." Me"I feel so guilty." S"It is not your fault." I just cried. The detective gave us some time alone and I calmed down. When he came back he said "Okay here is what we will do. We will have an officer escort you where you need to go and have someone watching your house at all times. You guys do not need to leave at all unless you absolutely have to." S"okay, that sounds alright." D"I promise you both I am doing my best to find this guy." S"Thank you so much." An officer drove us home and sat outside our house and another came later that night. A few days passed and nothing happened. I thought maybe this guy knew he was in trouble and maybe he will stop. No matter what he killed Grace. She did nothing wrong. Shannon and I went to her funeral and I felt so much guilt I couldnt stand it. Why her? She was such a sweet person. After the funeral I broke down again. Shannon held me against his chest. S"It will be okay. This guy is not going to get away with this." I just cried harder. Shannon held me until I calmed down a little and he sat with me. I stood up and punched the wall as hard as I could. "Why is this happening? This is fucking insane!" Shannon stopped me from hitting the wall again and said "I know. I dont understand either. You have to stay strong." My phone went off again and I grabbed it. It was a video message. I opened it and it was a dark screen and all I could hear was screams. It was Grace. He recorded her before he killed her. Shannon grabbed the phone from me and stopped the video.
