Chapter 2

Several hours later, Annette was nearly to Mark's vacation house in Tampa. She was just about to get off of the freeway when her new disposable cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Mark, she answered. "Hello."

"Hey, I forgot to give you the keys to the house, so Sara's going to meet you there with the keys. I told her that you're a friend who is staying at the house for a few days."

"Ok, thanks for letting me know. I probably would have freaked out when I saw her otherwise."

"That's what I thought, so I wanted to let you know. Are you and Matthew doing ok?"

"Yeah, I'm still on edge, but I'm ok. Matthew's been pouting since he woke up because you aren't here. He's been asking for you."

Mark laughed. "Well, I'll see him in a few days. I already ordered Wrestlemania for you so you can see it. I know it's not the same as being there, but it's the best I can do and keep you and Matthew safe."

"Thanks. Maybe we'll be able to go next year."

"I can guarantee it." Mark promised.

"Ok, I need to concentrate on where I'm going, so I'll talk to you later, ok?" Annette said.

"Ok, bye." Mark said.

"Bye." Annette said before hanging up.

A little while later, she turned on the street that Mark's house was on. As she approached the house, she saw Sara standing next to an SUV next to the security gate. Annette pulled to a stop and rolled down her window. "Hi, I'm Annette."

"I'm Sara. Mark asked me to come over to give you the keys and show you how to use the security gate and alarm system."

"Thanks for coming over."

"No problem. I stopped and got you some groceries as well. I didn't know what you like, so I just got you some basics. If there's anything else you want or need, let me know. Mark told me that you're laying low, so I can run any errands that you need."

"Thanks. Did Mark tell you why I'm hiding?"

"No, but I know. There was a piece on the news about the case you're a witness in. The sheriff apparently tried to press charges of kidnapping against you, so he had your picture all over the news with an Amber Alert. About ten minutes later, there was a retraction and an announcement that the sheriff was under investigation for witness intimidation. It was easy to figure out that Mark is helping you hide from the sheriff and his son."

"You won't tell anyone that I'm here or that Mark's helping me will you?"

"Of course not. I'm glad he's helping you. Mark's a wonderful man, and a great father." Sara said.

"It's nice to hear you say that." Annette said. "Why don't you show me how to use this system so we can get inside. My nose tells me that Matthew needs a new diaper."

"Sure." Sara said before showing her how to enter the security code into the keypad. When the gate opened, Annette drove through and Sara got in her vehicle and drove in behind her. Sara showed Annette how to secure the gate behind her and they went inside the house. After showing Annette the alarm system, Sara helped her unload her luggage and get it into the house. After taking a few minutes to change Matthew's diaper, Annette let Sara give her a tour of the house. When they went into the kitchen, Sara showed her the groceries and other things she had bought for them and asked if there was anything else they needed.

"Some diapers and baby food." Annette said as she wrote down the brand and size of diapers Matthew wore and what kind of baby food he liked. Sara took the list and said she'd be back soon. Annette thanked her and Sara left.

After Sara was gone, Annette set up the play pen and put Matthew in it in front of the TV and put an Undertaker DVD in to keep him entertained while she took their bags to the bedrooms they were going to use. She laughed as she heard Matthew chanting "My Take, My Take, My Take." While he watched the DVD. Annette finished unpacking their things and went back downstairs to let Matthew out of the playpen so he could run around if he wanted to. She had just set him on the floor and moved the playpen out of the way when the house phone rang. After checking the caller ID and seeing that it was Mark, she answered. "Hey, the house is great."

"I'm glad you like it. How's Matthew?

"He's fine. He's watching one of your DVDs and chanting "My Take." Annette said with a laugh.

Mark laughed as well. "Well, I'll see him, and you in a few days. Oh, Vince wanted me to tell you that any time you want tickets to a show, whatever show it is, you and Matthew have them from now on, and you will be his personal guests at Wrestlemania next year."

"Tell Vince I said thanks. Well, I better go, the DVD's almost over and I need to get Matthew some dinner and a bath before bedtime."

"Ok, I'll call you tomorrow. Call me if you need anything."

"I will, and Mark, thanks again, for everything."

"You're welcome." Mark said before hanging up.

A few minutes later, the DVD ended and Annette fed Matthew his dinner and bathed him before rocking him to sleep. When she went back downstairs, Sara was coming in the door with the diapers and baby food that Annette asked her for. The two of them talked for a few minutes before Sara left to go home and relieve her babysitter. After she was gone, Annette made sure that the gate was secure and the alarm system was armed before she went into the living room and sat down to watch some TV before she, too, went to bed.

***Ok, this one was pretty much a filler chapter. The next one will be much better, I promise!
