Chapter Twenty-Nine: Stressful situations.

Alisha

We arrive at the house and Olivia gets out of the car first, knocking on the door. There was no answer and it was quiet inside.

"She called but now she's not answering the door?" Mike asks, "It's quiet," Olivia says, "What was her exit plan?" I ask, "She said she rented a car," Olivia says stepping off the porch, "That has to be it," she finishes pointing to the gray car in the driveway. 

The door opens and we all turn around, "Sorry, for keeping you guys waiting," Lisa says. "Is everything okay?" I ask, "Uh..." the door opens a little wider, "Everythings fine here," Gary says, I felt my fist curl into  a ball, "Mr. Munson, we're here at your wifes' request," Olivia says, looking at Mike and me, "I-I overreacted when I called you guys, we're handling things," Lisa states.

"That's good to hear, so you don't mind if we come in?" Mike asks, "Not necessary," Lisa says. "Well, we're already here, it won't hurt for us to come in for a few minutes," I say stepping onto the porch, "Just to talk," Mike says.

"If you wanna come in, come in, do I need to call my lawyer?" Gary asks, "We're not here to talk about the case," Mike says. "No? Oooh right, you're here because Lisa wanted to leave me," I look at Lisa, "Forgive me, I'm just a big dumb CO," Gary says, "But I get it now," he says.

"Okay Mr. Munson, we don't want any trouble here," Olivia says, "Great. Neither do I," Gary says, turning around, we follow them into their house. 

I see the two kids on the couch, "Hey guys, guys," Gary says, knocking on the tv, "These are friends of mommies, and they're going to help you get ready for the vacation you're going on," Gary says. 

"They're not friends, they are police officers," the little girl says, "Gary, why don't I go upstairs with Liv and Ali and start to pack," Lisa says, "No,  they'll stay down here with the kids, you go up," Gary says.  I smile at the kids, and Lisa goes upstairs. 

"So, what are you guys watching?" Liv asks, "Star Wars!" the little boy says, "Yeah? Which one?" I ask, sitting next to them, "Return of the Jedi, they're holding Han Solo prisoner," the girl says, "Oh, that's a good one" I say. 

"Why don't you and I go into the kitchen?" Mike asks Gary, "Oh sure, how 'bout a beer pal?" All 3 of us exchange a look, Mike walks away with Gary. 

We start getting the kids jackets on and Mike and Gary walk into the living room, "I don't wanna leave you," the girl, who I learned her name is Annie, says. "I know honey, but I'm going to see you real soon, okay?" Gary tells her, "Tommy," he says pulling the boy in, "I want to make sure you look after your sister, okay?" "I will," Tommy says.

"Tommy, Annie, back packs..." Lisa says coming down the stairs, "Are my lovies in there?" Annie asks, "Your favorite one..." Lisa says, "What about the others?" 

"How about, your dad and Mike will bring them later," I say to her, "I promise sweetheart," Gary says. "Alright, give your dad a hug," Lisa says.

Both Tommy and Annie hug him, "I love you daddy!" they both say. "I love you more," he says. Lisa comes back down the stairs and the kids pull away from Gary. "What's the matter? I don't get a goodbye hug from Mommy?" Gary asks, Lisa and Olivia exchange a look, "Take care of yourself, Gary," Lisa says. "Alright kids, let's go," Liv says.

"We're all good here, right Gary?" I say, putting my hand up. "You look nice Lisa, isn't that the jacket I got you for your birthday?" "Alright, we're going to go now," Liv says ushering the kids out of the house. "You want the jacket, Gary?" Lisa says taking the jacket off and giving it to him, he grabs her and puts her in a choke hold, taking out a gun and aiming it at us, "Woah okay!" Mike says we both put our hands up.
