This chapter will be in first person and third person.
In The Safety of the Epps:

Hotel Room:
(AN-Will be in bold for what is about to happen and
Sunset's thoughts)

Sunset lay in an unconscious pile on the floor next to the bed. She had lost feeling in her right leg nearly an hour ago. Nobody had done anything for her and she was afraid that Chris had gone back to Nevada looking for Tegan, who wouldn't be much safe if he looked even harder than he had been. She felt her breath leaving her and realized that she was slowly losing the will to live. She couldn't move let alone reach for the phone. She was, at the moment, totally helpless to another attack from Chris. She heard voices on the other side of the hotel room door and wished with all her might that someone was finally coming to save her, yet again…

I felt myself lose complete control of my conscious self and knew that my mind and body was done fighting for the moment. I did not hear the door being opened or the FBI agents searching the hotel room, looking for any sign of life, looking for me. I did not hear anything until I woke up in the hospital…

Meanwhile…

"Don, I've got her, but she has a low pulse. We got to get her to a hospital now!" David said.
"Paramedics aren't going to be here for another fifteen minutes, they got stuck in traffic, and we're going to have to take her ourselves. Pick her up Colby and let's get her out of here." Don said.
"Yes sir. What are we going to do about hiding her injuries from the other guests? I really don't think that they'll want to see what that guy has done to her."
"Good point, alright, here, wrap this blanket around her. I don't think the staff members care if they lose one blanket."
"Alright let's go, we don't have much time. Megan, call Charlie and tell them to meet us at the hospital."
"I'm on it."

They headed for the hospital with me in Colby's arms and a hotel blanket wrapped around me. The staff at the hotel said nothing, knowing that one blanket wouldn't harm them, especially if there was someone hurt wrapped in it. Besides it was the FBI, they really couldn't do anything. Colby got into the back of the SUV with Don and Megan. David drove the other one and they headed to the hospital.

Once at the hospital, I was rushed to the ER and then into surgery where I would be for the next three hours. When the surgeon came out and said that I would recover, a sigh of relief went through everyone. Asking if they could see me, they were let into my room. I had just woken up and they were keeping an eye on my vitals.

Hospital: The Team Talks To Sunset:
"Mrs. Endelman, are you up to talking to us?" Don asked.
"Why? You're the ones that gave me back to him? Why should I talk to you?"
"Because we can put this guy behind bars. Do you by any chance know where he is headed?" Colby asked.
"Back to Nevada. My daughter is in the foothills in the next county over from Carson City. My friend Josephine is taking care of her. He's headed to find her. You have to protect her, as well as Josephine, her boss James and his wife Heather. They kept a secret they knew nothing about because they knew what he was capable of."
"Why didn't you run with your daughter?" Megan asked.
"Because if and when he caught up with me, he wouldn't have to find her, he would be able to kill us both without any witnesses. It was easier to leave her with Josephine and run myself. Tegan knew what she had to do. I need to get back to her before he does. I promised her I would come back for her."
"Alright, but you let us go after him. You're going to be in the hospital for awhile and I know your daughter wouldn't want you to be in any more pain then you are now." Amita said.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because, we did this, we gave you back to him, and we have to fix it. If it means moving you into my house, then that's what we'll do, but we are not going to let him hurt you again." Charlie said.
"You know he's a cop right? He'll win, he always does. His boss and the other cops in Carson City believe him over me, even though they have known me longer. He came from Oklahoma City and seemed to fit right in. I was working at the local law office when I met him, and he seemed nice at first."
"We know we saw your journal entry; the one you wrote just before we busted into your room." David said.
"Will I get all my stuff back?"
"You'll get what isn't important, but the laptop will have to stay in our custody." Don said.
"No, I can print out what you need and sign it for you. But I need the laptop; I promised Tegan that I would keep a constant record of what happened. She's been dieing to write a book about her life, what she's gone through and what her parents have gone through. We have the first part, about her father already typed up and everything. We've been working hard on it since she entered high school, what between the cheerleading practice, choir rehearsal and swim practice, it gets kind of complicated to write the book, but we are doing our best."
"Well, then we'll will just have to get you printer to attach to your laptop and let you print your stuff out. We'll let you rest for now. And one of us will be with you for now while you are in the hospital at all times. Starting with me," Amita said sitting down and taking out her laptop and some files. I smiled knowing these people were probably a family more like Josephine and me then me and Chris.
"Thank you. This means a lot to me. And thank you for taking the case. I'm not sure if he's done this before but it always seemed that he'd left someone behind in Oklahoma when he left."
"You're welcome, we'll get you that printer and your laptop, get some rest." Megan said as everyone but Amita walked out.
"Thank you."

Sunset's Hospital Room:
"Amita, the way you look at Charlie makes me sense that there is a connection between the two of you."
"You can sense that huh?"
"I'm good at sensing what people are feeling. Chris attracted himself to me by being around me when I hung out with my friends in the department. But all that changed when we started to date. People I'd known for years seemed to want nothing to do with me once Chris started spreading the lies. I even got fired because of his lies. And due to being fired, he forbid me to do anything but take care of Tegan. I didn't mind that part, I was able to spend a lot of time with my daughter and it felt right. But the most shocking blow came the on the day of her father's death. We were at the cemetery when he came in and pulled us out, saying that we weren't allowed to come here anymore. He said people saw us come here and believed me still in love with my dead husband. He said it embarrassed him and he hated being embarrassed. That night, while Tegan was at a friend's house, I paid for it."
"You know, if you had come up about the abuse in the first place, when you first here before he was able to see you, you might not have had to go back with him."
"He would have found a way around you and gotten to me somehow. He's good at getting his way and knowing exactly where to hit so there are no bruises to be seen by anyone on the outside. I was scared. He told me that he would take Tegan from me and that I would never be able to see her, that he would put me in jail before he was thrown their himself."
"I'm sorry you had to go through that. Hey, on the Brightside, we will be seeing a lot of each other. Maybe you can show me what you and your daughter were working on before you had to leave."
"That sounds great. She was wanting to go to the regional's here in LA with her squad, but due to the circumstances, she hasn't been able to practice with her squad. Her swim team went to regionals last week and I know she wanted to go to that as well. But she promised me that she would stay in hiding with Josephine because she didn't want to lose me. I just wish that she could see herself from the outside instead of from the inside. I wish she could see herself as more than just my daughter, but more of the person I know she will become. I can't wait to see her again."
"And you will, with Don, Charlie and the rest of the team working on this, you will see her and your friends again."
"I wish you could have met my husband, he knew just what to say when everything was turned around."
"I bet he did, get some rest, I'm not going anywhere."
"Thank you again, Amita. You truly are a good friend."

FBI Squad Room:
Don, Charlie, and the team got to work on trying to find Chris the minute they got back to the office. Larry was also there to lend his thoughts and mind. With the help of the laptop, they were able to locate Tegan and Josephine and tell them that Sunset was alright. Everything seemed to be going smoothly so far. Tegan and Josephine were told to keep doing what they were doing and that an Agent would be sent to keep an eye on them while blending in with the surroundings. And the only way to blend in was to get a job at the bar that Josephine worked at. James and Josephine had it all set up for when the agent got to town.

With Charlie and Larry at the office and Amita at the hospital, they knew that the possibility of finding Mr. Evanson was good, not great, but good. Getting to the town before him was best and the agent was ready to leave within the hour of hearing the news. Megan was staying behind because she could relate to Sunset so Liz Warner was going instead. She would be acting as a waitress at the bar that Josephine worked at and James owned. She could also keep an eye on Tegan who got her homeschooling done in the bar's employee lounge. Now all they had to done was convince their father that keeping Sunset at the house was the best way to keep her safe.

Epps Household:
Don, Charlie, Larry, Amita and I sat at the dining room table eating dinner. Well, everyone else was eating; I was just pushing my food around on my plate. Everyone noticed that I really hadn't eaten so Don and Charlie spoke up.

"So, Sunset…" Don started.
"Call me Grace. No one really ever called me Sunset. My mom named me that because she loved having sex at sunset. Hooker, everyone always said it would run in the family."
"Okay, Grace, we hooked up the printer in the guest room with your laptop…" Don started again.
"Not my laptop, it's Josephine's; she let me borrow it while I was staying with her before I fled the state. She said she'd buy a new one for herself but I told her she'd get it back when she was done. We both basically listened to the same music all I've done is download a little more from Limewire, paid for of course, and put a few songs on CD's…and I'm sorry, you were saying?"
"Talkative now that you're out of harm's way for the moment are we?" Alan asked.
"Always talkative, never allowed to talk as much as I have been; a lot of stuff wasn't allowed."
"Well anyways, its set up so u can print off what we need for a case against him and sign it. Then you can get back to whatever part of your book you were on."
"Thank Agent Epps."
"It's Don, you can call me Don."
"Thanks. Um, so what did you all do when you were growing up? I grew up in Las Vegas with a dead beat mom and a grandma who didn't have the heart to take me from my mom but could keep me alive, the rich kind of grandma."
"How rich?" Larry asked.
"Larry, that's not nice. I'm sorry; Larry has a tendency to go…."
"It's okay Charlie; she has an estate south of Carson City. Josephine stays in it whenever she wants to. In fact it's where they are staying now. The estate is near a forest so it's very secluded. The house, albeit she was a little paranoid about it but wanted it to look rustic, is a three story cabin that has a built in alarm system that kicks anyone out that it doesn't recognize as, well, a friend or family member. Grandma always seemed to do everything she wanted. Grandma left the estate to me, and no, Chris does not know about it. If he did, he'd kill me and take everything I own. I don't use grandma's money if I can't. If I did, Chris would become suspicious and ask where I got it from and I really don't want to explain it to him."
"Will you go back there once he's in prison?" Amita asked.
"Maybe, or I might just rent it out and let people pay to stay in it. It's energy efficient as well. There are solar panels on the roof and they rotate to catch the sun. The refrigerator is powered by solar energy. The only outlets in the whole house are for the generator, air conditioning, panic room (paranoid grandmother), and some entertaining electronics. Never really did do an inventory when she died, Josephine keeps the place in running order. I'm sure that's where Agent Warner will be staying as well."
"Very talkative; so what's with the panic room?" Alan asked.
"Not really a panic room. My grandma filled it with weapons over the years, and whatever she deemed important for self-protection. Permits for all of them in the room as well, tied to the weapon of choice. That room has always remained locked and Tegan does not know the code to it. She never will."
"So, what do you plan on doing once he is in jail? Where will you go? If your daughter has connections in Nevada, will she not miss her friends?" Larry asked.
"Yes, she will miss them and will miss seeing her so happy, but he is there, I don't want her to be anywhere near him. On the designated day we decide, we will go back to visit her father. He was a very honest person and knew when something was wrong with me. When I first found out I was pregnant with Tegan, he was always there for me, even though he wasn't her biological father."
"Who's the biological father?" Don asked. I just shrugged my shoulders.
"I was fourteen when I became pregnant with Tegan. Mother had a habit of bringing her clients home with her. I don't know who he is, some John she brought home and passed out with. He woke up in the middle of the night and came into my room. That's the only time my mother believed me, and then she kicked me out saying that I was a disgrace to the family. My grandmother took me in and helped me take care of Tegan. She's the one that set me up in Carson City, trying to get me away from my mother. My life was complicated."
"And still is by the looks of it. Why don't you go get some sleep and we'll see you in the morning. Amita can show you to your room." Charlie said.
"Thanks you, all of you. And I'm sorry I was a little harsh when you came to the hospital to see me. First reaction is always the harshest."
"No problem, besides, we kind of deserved it."
