(Shannon's POV)

Jared motioned for security to go backstage and jokingly told the crowd my clown trauma was only temporary.

'Let him go. He hasn't suddenly gone mad, we have an issue here that needs dealt with.' Jared told the security men once we were backstage.

'I need my phone.' I said shrugging them off and dashed for the dressing room.

'C'mon Miss, answer dammit.' I said as the connection went through.

'Shouldn't you be playing drums about now?' Missi asked coyly when she answered.

'We're on a quick break.' I said with a sigh of relief. 'Is everything okay there?'

'Yes, I'm sitting on the balcony waiting for Maggie to finish her evening stroll around the yard.'

'Where's Brittany?'

'Inside on the couch. Why?'

'I think you should get Maggie inside and make sure everything is locked up. I'm concerned about you being there all alone.'

'Two grown women with a big dog can take care of themselves Shannon. There isn't anything to worry about.'

'I know babe. Please, just do as I ask.'

'Okay, if that will make you feel better.' She said, and I heard her call for Maggie.

'Maggie what are you into?' She yelled.

'What's she doing?'

'There's a bag stuck in the gate and she's clawing at it.'

'Get inside, now!' I yelled.

'I have to get her in first.'

There was a loud crackling noise and she inhaled sharply like something had spooked her.

Who's that?' I asked when I heard a man's voice.

'I don't know.' She said shakily. 'It's coming from all over.'

'Melissa...Melanie...' his voice was calling out. 'I know where you are.'

'Get the hell inside Missi! Call the police now.' I shouted.

'Maggie' She screamed, and I heard rustling and then a door slam.

'Missi! Missi talk to me!' I yelled as the call disconnected.

'What's going on?' Jared asked anxiously.

'I don't fucking know.' I yelled and tried calling Missi back repeatedly. 'She's not answering. I'll try Brit.'

'Get me in touch with the local authorities.' Jared shouted at the security personnel.

'Hello?' Brittany answered.

'What's going on...is everyone okay?'

'Yes, the police are on their way.'

'I want you two to get the fuck out of there tonight. Do you understand?'

'Yes. God, that voice is maddening!' She said angrily.

'Let me talk to her.' Jared said, and I passed him the phone.

'Brit, baby, tell me what's going on.' He said calmly and walked away.

'We apprehended the individual in question. He claims someone paid him to wear the costume and hold the sign.' One of the security officers informed me.
