If anything could prepare me for what happened the next morning, I would be more prepared. Sadly I wasn't, the cold refreshing air hit me in the face as I walked out of the hotel room. Morgan had been sleeping peacefully so I decided to go down to the office myself when I felt the same very chill that I had gotten the night Hali was killed, It went right down my back. 

"Hello Grace," Said a voice I was to familiar with, I turned around to face the once devilishly handsome Joseph. 

"Why can't you just leave me alone?!" I screamed, I felt the tears rise to my eyes and I felt the lump in my throat when I was close to him once again make a sudden appearance when it is not welcome.

"Because I love you!" He shouted going to touch my face but I swatted it away, Not even looking in his eyes.

"If you loved me, You wouldn't have done those horrible things." I said as tears started coming down my face. I felt someone behind me.

"You going to tell me why your making my sister cry?" Asked Spencer's raspy morning voice, coming through the empty car park. 

"This is not between me and you, This is between me and your sister. See you soon." He said and winked at me.

"Go to hell Joseph." I stated lowly, my eyes burning into him. He walked slowly away as I felt more tears drip down my face. 

"Stop, Don't cry over him." Said Spencer as he turned me to face him and I wiped the remaining tears that were there. 

"I love you Spencer, So much." I whispered, as I pulled him in I kissed him on the cheek and he looked down at me and smiled. 

"I love you too." He said brushing a hair away from my face as he let me go, I smiled once more as I got into my car. The only way I was going to keep my team now safe from this guy. Was if I was gone. 

I drove to the most deserted area in Dallas, considering it's a big place I found a little quite place I got set a fire in the SUV pretending that I had died, without a body. They'll probably think I went to ashes in the car. 

I stepped out and grabbed a piece of paper and gasoline I kept in the back in case of any need and poured it everywhere and pulled out my lighter and threw it on the seat. Letting the flames go up, I ran into the Forrest nearby with my wallet, Credentials and my phone but I quickly disposed of it. 

I'm sorry guys, I love you all so much. I wish it never had to be this way, but it has to be to keep you guys all safe. Spencer, I hope if I ever can come back, that you will understand why I did it.
