Lethal Fixation (FINISHED)

Chapter Eleven

    "What is it?" Chuck asked, frowning. "Everything okay?"

  Meghan shook her head and flew up out of the chair. "Where's the nearest police station?"

  "Wow, wow sit down. Tell me what's wrong," Chuck said, standing up and taking her by her shoulders. "Meghan, what is it?"

  "I need to get to a police station now. Can you take me? My car's still in the garage."

  Chuck nodded. "Okay, let's go."

"So, it was from your friend, Callie Smithson's phone number, but it wasn't Callie speaking to you?" Officer Willis asked Meghan. He was in his late forties with a mustache. He reminded her of 'Pornstache' in Orange is the New Black, her favourite television show at the moment.

  "Yeah, and he said that Callie was tied up and gagged," Meghan said, tapping her fingertips on the desk in front of her in the interview room.

  "Are you certain it was a he?" Willis asked her, not taking his bluey-gray eyes off hers.

  "I don't know. I couldn't tell. He was whispering. I doubt it was a girl though. Why would a girl have Callie held captive?" Meghan sat back in the chair and sighed. "I just want you to find her. Make sure she's safe."

  "How can we be sure that this isn't some prank? I mean, it does a bit strange." Willis took a sip out of the steaming styrofoam cup. "This coffee never gets any better." He coughed. "Right, erm. What I can do is take Callie's number off you, and we'll phone her phone. If there's an answer, we'll track it. Now get your pretty little self back to college and we'll get in touch with any new, all right?"

  Meghan nodded. There wasn't much she could do anyway. It was a police matter now. She stood up and shook his hand. "Thank you, officer. You've been a great help."

  When she got back to the waiting area, Chuck was still there. When he saw her he stood up and came over to her. "Well? What did they say?"

  "They're looking into things," Meghan replied. "They'll let me know if they find anything out. Can we go now? I just wanna get out of here."

  "Sure, c'mon," Chuck said with a smile. "Hey, isn't it inititation today?"

  Meghan fell into step beside Chuck as they left the station and headed towards his parked BMW. "How do you know?" She asked as they both got into the car.

  Chuck laughed. "I am a Kappa Chi, Meg. I'm in my second year so I think I'd know what goes on in soroities by now."

  "You're a frat boy? I didn't know," Meghan said. "Did you have a hazing?"

  "Not so much. The sororities take their hazing to completely new levels. Girls are vicious little creatures," he chucked and glanced over at Meghan, "of course, not all girls. But no, what we had to do was just go up against the other fraternaties pledges like in beer pong and sports."

  "Sounds a lot more fun," Meghan muttered. "I suppose I'll have to go meet up with the other girls. The only real reason why I want to be a part of Omega Phi Delta is for the bedroom. It's amazing."

Not long after, Meghan was standing on Omega Phi Delta's front lawn with the rest of the pledges, whilst the sisters were all bustled around together chattering away. Meghan looked across to the left and saw Kendall. She turned to her and asked if she was okay.

  Kendall nodded. She looked so depressed, she was white as a sheet and her usually pretty bob length hair was flicking out at all angles. She was obviously still traumazited after what had happened last night.
