  “We know this. We have to go out looking for him.” Tom muttered, knowing that it was a change in plans and knowing that they had to get ready to go.

  “We can't go out looking for him. I will have some cops search for him but that's the best we can do.” He told him as calmly as he could as he got out his cell and made a few calls.

  “Are you ready for this?” Tom looked over at Jamie.

  “I have to be. They will find him Tom. He never should have left last night knowing that the killer could be anywhere.” She whispered to him, not bothering to comb her hair or change out of the clothes she had been wearing the night before. It took a little time to get back to her trailer.

  When Davidson got off the phone Allen walked through the door already showered and ready to go himself. He had the watch with him that he had showed them the day before when he arrived.

  He walked over and put it Jamie's wrist securely so that he knew she had it on and it was on the right way.

  “We have to go.” He told them, heading out the door.

  Tom and Jamie looked at one another and saw that Davidson was going out the door. They both sighed heavily and walked out behind him. Tom looked around the room one last time before closing the door. Knowing he was either going to be coming back with Jamie or without her.

  They road with Davidson and Allen who were up front and they were sitting in the back. It was a quiet for the most part until they stopped on the side of the road down the hill from where she lived.

  “Its show time. I will be able to hear you but you won't be able to hear me.” Allen reminded her when he took out his brief case and held up a little box that went to the watch.

  “Alright. Don't let me down.” She whispered, looking over at Tom she gave him a small smile and kissed him on the mouth quickly.

  “We will be in hearing distance.” Allen assured her, watching her get out of the car.

  They watched as she walked up the hill. Allen had timed her, It had taken ten minutes for her to go up the hill and disappear. Knowing that it would take another five minutes to get to the trailer.

  “Shouldn't be move now?” Tom asked, thinking it was taking too much time already.

  “No. We won't move until we hear her get into the car.” Allen shook his head and kept his eyes on the road in front of them.

  Jamie finally made it to the trailer and looked around, not seeing anyone, wondering if the killer was watching to make sure that she had come alone.

  “I'm here.” She said softly. Not sure they could hear her or not but it was worth saying something. Anything to keep her mind sane.

  Jamie watched a car pull out. A white two door Chevy Cavalier. The car stopped in front of her and when the window rolled down she was shocked to see who it was.

  “Chad Porter?” She asked looking in.

  “I guess I have a lot of explaining to do. Get in the car.” He glared at her, rolling his window back up and watching her move around the car to get in.

  “You were told not to tell anyone. Poor Mark had to suffer the consquences of his actions and I had to waste some of my valuable time.” He muttered, pulling away from the curb when he looked around and saw that no one was behind him.

  “You're suppose to be dead.” She glared back at him. Davidson had promised her that he was dead, promised that he had seen the body himself.

  “You know, the funny thing is that people really don't know me. If they did they would have known that I had a twin brother. Seems as though my body wasn't checked over very carefully. Now I would think you would understand why I am doing this.” He kept his eyes on the road.

  “Not really.” She muttered, looking the window. She thought that she would be scared with what was happening but the familiar face made her calm. Thinking that she was going to be meeting a complete stranger.

  “All those times back in school the girls always laughing at me and putting me down, turning me down for the most part. Now look at me. I'm handsome and ready to take on the world.” He chuckled looking over at her for a second.

  “Why me? I never picked on you.” She pointed a finger at him. Hoping that the quick reaction didn't have any effect on the watch.

  “No you didn't. You were someone that I respected but that gave me the courage to ask you out.” He whispered.

  “You never asked me out. Not that I would go with you anyways.” She tried thinking back but couldn't recall him asking her out.

  “No, you broke my confidence when I over heard you talking with your friends. I was going to tap you on the shoulder but one of your friends was laughing when they saw me coming. I remember hearing them say that I was looking for you and your reply was that you hoped that I wouldn't ask you out. Something along those lines. You were the one that I really wanted to date. You were the one that I wanted to try and get close to so when Alice shot me down and had her friends laughing at me I knew that I wasn't going to get anywhere near you.” He explained to her quickly.

  “That doesn't give you the right to do what you're doing or what you've done.” She had remembered that day in the hall. She was changing out her books at her locker. Talking to her friend Tammy.

  “I had a list and you are the last one on my list.” He didn't see a reason to talk with her anymore. He had already told her what he had thought about everything. Talked to her more then what he should have.

  Chad kept looking in the rear view mirror making sure that no one was following him. There had been a white car that was a little ways in back of him but he slowed down to see if it was following him. Happy when it had turned off onto a back road.

  “What are you looking for?” She asked, looking over her shoulder.

  “The cops.” He stated.

  “I know that you didn't want any cops. You think that I would put Kellie's life in danger even more by getting the cops involved?” She stared at him, hoping that her face wasn't giving her away.

  “You had to of told Mark. That was the reason he was at the trailer last night. What about Tom? Does he know anything about this?” Chad asked her, looking over at her and seeing that she was getting mad at him.

  “No. We broke up when I showed him pictures of Kellie. He left before you gave me the location and he doesn't have his phone on him. Don't you worry. You're going to be able to cross me off your list.” She mumbled.

  “Good.” Chad smiled, glad that no one knew where she was. Mark had been the only help that she could get and he was gone.

  Chad pulled up to the small brown house and got out. Knowing that she wasn't going to run not with Kellie still inside the house.

  Going around to the back of the house Chad made sure that she was following him. He opened up two doors.

  “Get down in there.” He told her roughly.

  Jamie saw stairs leading down to some kind of basement. Hoping that Tom was somewhere close. She didn't like the looks of it as she walked down the rickety stairs and came to a hallway as he pushed her forward.

  He unlocked a door and turned the knob. Opening the door to a room with white walls like in the picture.

  “Kellie.” Jamie whispered when she saw her on the bed. She was fully clothed. A pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. She knew that the clothes weren't hers they were too loose to be hers.

  “She's fine as you can see.” He muttered, walking into the room.

  Jamie looked around for something, anything that might help her in case the police failed her. She hadn't seen them at all following them. Wondering if they were out of hearing distance.

  Chad was focused on Kellie. He saw the tears of joy and the tears of sadness knowing what was going to happen.

  Jamie looked at Chad and saw that he was having a hard time getting the ropes off of Kellie's wrists and saw that he was concentrating. She walked around the room and spotted a small knife. The blade looked sharp but the knife looked small something that she could fit in the palm of her hand.

  She grabbed it quickly as she heard Chad cursing, fighting the
knots. She knew that she would only have one chance to stab him in the heart and keep stabbing him until he was no longer breathing. The only way she could get out.

  “They are taking too long.” Tom muttered, hearing the cursing through the speakers. They were parked in the woods along the edge of Chad's house. Covered by bushes and branches.

  “No, things are going as planned. We are going to get through this. It only feels that its been a long time.” Allen told him, glancing over at him.

  There was no need ot go looking for Mark,everyone had known that he was already dead. Though they didn't know how he died.

  Jamie was beginning to shake, begging him to turn around as Chad ripped the duct tape from Kellie's mouth.

  “Jamie.” Kellie said, looking at her and crying. Knowing it was the last time she was going to see her alive.

  “Its okay Kellie. I'm here now, its okay.” She whispered.

  “Not for long.” Chad laughed and got off the bed, seeing that Kellie wanted to run out the door but stopped herself because she didn't want to leave Jamie behind.

  Chad turned and faced Jamie. Now getting ready to throw her on the bed and tie her up. He wanted ot kill her slowly. There was no one around he had checked and looked before entering the basement.

  When Chad got closer to her she took him by surprise and began stabbing at him. She stabbed in the chest over and over again. Chad's eyes grew wide, not knowing what to say as he fell to the bed.

  “Go!” Jamie screamed at Kellie as she kept stabbing him over and over again. Making sure that she drove the small blade as deep as she could.

  Kellie ran out the door and followed a small hallway, seeing light she ran and raced up the stairs. She saw that she was in the back yard and looking around she didn't see anyone.

  “There's our sign lets get going.” Allen said, getting out of the car and running for the house. Davidson took out his gun and ran quickly behind him, leaving Tom in the car.

  Kellie ran passed them and ran to the car, hoping that Tom was there safe and sound.

  “Where is she?” Tom asked, tears coming out of his eyes. Thinking the exchange was already done. Thinking that Jamie was already dead.

  “She's smart, she's alright. The last thing I saw was her stabbing him. She got on top of him and continued stabbing him. I watched until she screamed at me to come out here.” Kellie told him quickly, though she had a smile on her face because she was proud of Jamie.

  When Allen and Davidson got into the house and into the room they could see that Chad was dead. He wasn't moving and yet Jamie kept stabbing at him with the knife over and over again.

  Davidson had to pull her off of him and that was when she began crying. She dropped the knife and saw that her hands were covered in blood.

  Jamie was led out of the room and out of the house. Tom had gotten out of car when he saw her coming out of the house covered in blood.

  Running to her he knew that she was going to be okay. Knew that it would take some time to heal but everything was going to be okay in the end.

  The End.
