What do you do when someone you thought cared about you is in fact the one who cares too much? You tell the truth.
"Hi, is Detective Greenspan here?" I ask looking at my cast. The doctor says its shattered and should take eight or more weeks to heal.
"Yes he is. I'll let him know you're here!" She smiles at me. I sit down and wait while she calls the Detective. How the hell do you tell a man that his son is stalking you?
"Vanessa?" He questions from the door.
"Hi, can I talk to you?" He nods and I enter his office.
"What's going on Ms. Mitchell?"
"I think I know whose stalking me." I admit and his eyes narrow.
"Who?"
"Kaiden," I admit looking down.
"Vanessa. I've given the benefit of the doubt because Tim was my friend. However when you accuse my son of stalking you've crossed the line." He states and stands up.
"Mr. Greenspan, I swear I'm not lying," I plead with him.
"Get out of my office," he demands and I leave.

That night while Archer and I are eating dinner he gets a call.
"Hello? Yes this is Archer. Yeah Vanessa's with me. What the hell do you mean he's dead? Well figure it out!" He yells and slams his phone on the table.
"Archer?" I whisper rubbing his arm. When he looks up at me his eyes are dark.
"The bastard killed him,"
"Killed who Archer?"
"My dad. The asshole who killed your family is coming after mine."
