Brenda's POV
"I can't believe she just left us like that," Joe plopping down on the couch in the living room. I have no words to explain what just happened. I mean I actually do know two things. I know Laya is gone. And I know everyone is shocked.
"Well believe it cause she did," Ryan said pacing back and forth.
"My own best friend stabbed me in the back," I said staring into space. I couldn't actually get a grip on the words coming out of my mouth though I don't actually want to believe it. And I hope its not true.
"Yeah she stabbed all of us in the back. We trusted her and she left," Ryan said fuming still pacing. He is obviously more angry than us all. I wonder why? Oh wait I know already. I think its because he has a crush on her.
A voice booms into the room without warning, "What's wrong with you all." Curtis said walking into the room.
"Brenda especially you."I hung my head down. I did actually feel ashamed for thinking like this."We all know Laya and she wouldn't just leave us like that. She most likely has a plan. So instead of sitting here bad mouthing her," he said stopping to take a look at all of us.
When he did this we all turned red like we were kids getting in trouble by our father. He continued his lecture, "How about find out more information on Karen. The real woman we need to watch our backs for." he said walking into the kitchen.
I couldn't help but to feel like a trader.
"He's right you know. I mean Laya wouldn't do us like that and I of a people I should know that," I said. Ryan and Joe both agreed.
"Yeah we all should've known," Ryan said but speaking mostly to himself.
Joe sat up from his slouching position and spoke up," Now that I think about it I don't think she's dumb enough to think that she'd get away after becoming a target again."
"This is true," I said with a half hearted smile.
"Yeah after all she is she is smarter than that." Ryan said
Laya's POV
I park in front of the police station I sit in the car for a couple of minutes to think. I really hope this works. I think about Joe, Brenda, Ryan, and Curtis. I hope their okay and that their not mad at me. I do have a plan I wouldn't just do something as crazy as still a cop car and come to the police station unless I have a plan. Although I wish the plan was a little better.
I shake the thoughts out of my mind and get out of the cop car. Its raining and its still the middle of the night so I run across the street and go inside the police station. I notice that the station is mostly empty. I walk past the lady at the front desk and hear her call after me.
"Can I help you," I pretend to not hear her and keep walking. The only thing that goes through my mind is please don't follow me. I start looking for officer Danes desk and finally find it. I sit down and turn on his computer. Only to find out that I have to put in a password. I try to type very fast because I see the lady from the front desk coming towards me. I tried one last password and it looks like its going to work but then the words "incorrect pass code" comes up just as she does. well should have known luck has not exactly been on my side lately.
The lady was wearing police uniform. She had a blonde hair or should I say a blonde wig. Like come on lady you are not fooling anyone. She lady wore a lot of red lipstick to cover her thin lips. She was really tall and built. But built like a man. Matter of fact she looked kind of like a man.
"Excuse me ma'am your going to have to leave or I'm having you thrown out." the lady says with with an firm tone. My sassiness almost comes out because I was going to say. "You can try to throw me out but the only thing that's going to be thrown is that wig off your head.
But I make a smart decision and decide not to say that instead I say. "That won't be necessary I'm a-a friend of Danes," I lie.
I could see the lady lighten up a bit. "Oh so your the lucky girl he's been talking about." What? Well I guess luck is beginning to like me.
"uh-Oh so he's been talking about me," I say. I can't actually believe this is working. Since I haven't had anything work in my favor in a while I start grinning ear to ear.
"Yeah he's been talking about you a lot. I'm Greta,"she says introducing herself.
"Hey he needs me to email his mother for something," I say avoiding telling her my name. I didn't actually think of a fake name before hand so yeah.
"I mean I was supposed to do it earlier but you know," I say waving my hand.
"Knowing him it would be something that has to do with hunting."
"Thank you," I say giving her a small smile before she walks away. I try the word "gun" then "shoot" but neither of them work. I then try the word "woods" which works. I shake my head at how un-clever that password is then I look up Karen's name. I mean she has to have criminal record. But I'm caught off guard when the words "presumed dead" pops up.
The sentence "Oh my frickin gosh," involuntary slips out of my mouth. At this point I'm very puzzled so I decide to got to the most helpful source ever...Google. I look up Karen's full name which is Karen Andrews.
The first article that pops up says "Andrew's family mystery". See you can always count on Google to have your back.
I hear the door open and see the two cops from the beach house walk in. Really luck. You couldn't have given me two more minutes.
I quickly log off and start walking towards the door. Trying to go unseen by the two men.
"Hey come here really quick," I Greta says calling me over to where she and another lady officer were standing. Come on really? I quickly walk over where the two woman where standing trying to get this over with before I get caught.
"We were just going to congratulate you for being able to put up with Danes, and for making him a happy man," she says.
"Yeah he's a handful here so I. an only imagine what he's like to live with," Greta says laughing.
"Oh thanks he makes me happy too," I say looking back trying to see where the two cops were. They were coming closer to where I was. I then decide to cut the conversation short. "Well nice meeting you both," I said before speed walking with my head down past the two cops from the beach house.
Just before I get to the door I hear someone cry out "oh my god, I can't believe this. I mean like I just saw him a couple of hours ago.
Then I hear greta say "Who's gonna break the news to his girlfriend?"
Don't look back. Oh who am I kidding. I quickly look over my shoulder and quickly regret it. I see one of them turn towards me. Immediately know that he saw my face.
"Hey stop right there."
