Chapter 3
"TERESA!" John yelled out as he caught her.
John picked her up in his arms and laid her down on the couch in the Chief's office. He placed his hand on her cheek.
"Come on Reese. Wake up." He softly said.
Dave, Mark, and Bobby all watched wondering why the soft and gentle touch and tone. Dave himself couldn't help but wonder what was going on between his two detectives. It just added to the things he and Teresa would need to talk about later. Finally after a few minutes Teresa began to stir. Her eyelids slowly fluttered open and her deep blue eyes met John's gaze.
"What happened?"
"You fainted Reese." John said.
Teresa looked at him and noticed how concerned he looked. She began to sit up and weakly smiled at John as he helped her sit up.
"Thanks."
Teresa looked around the room and noticed Dave, Mark, and Bobby's concerned looks. She had to admit she was surprised seeing Bobby's concerned gaze because they hadn't ended on the best of terms.
"So what do we know so far?" Teresa asked getting back into work mode.
"Detective Morgan maybe you should slow down." Dave said somewhat sternly.
"Chief Bautista with all due respect I have feared this happening my whole life. I'm tired of looking over my shoulder everywhere I go. I want to get this guy. I have to." Teresa said angrily.
"Well Detective Morgan this is what we have so far. We had some stuff sent to us about two months ago."
"What stuff Deputy Chief?" Teresa asked confused.
"We had some journals, clothes, and recordings sent to us anonymously. Why we don't know. He had it all planned out Teresa. He stalked your family. Teresa…we have evidence that he was behind your parents'…"
Mark never had time to finish his sentence as Teresa interrupted him.
"You have to be kidding me. You're wrong Mark. You're fuckin wrong!" Teresa yelled angrily as her knees gave out from her. She crumpled to the ground sobbing angrily.
John, Dave, and Bobby all watched the scene a little shocked. None of them had ever seen Teresa break down like this. Mark knelt in front of her bringing a hand to her face.
"Reesey cup you have no idea how much I wish I was wrong on this. Teresa it's been you all along that he's been after. He's kept an eye on you this whole time."
"So why now? Why not kill her before?" John asked confused.
"In two weeks it will be twenty years. Ten years to the date my parents were in an accident. The car appeared to be tampered with but since their car was hit by a drunk driver there was no investigation. They thought I was just making up the brake lines being cut. That was why I moved here. I couldn't take it in Colorado anymore. I don't understand why he is going after me though Mark. I was only nine when it happened."
"We think he was a child sex predator. He was always around the park you used to play at. Apparently you were always so nice to the other kids as well as him. He saw you at the park one day with your sister and brother. They wouldn't play with you and were being mean to you. So he killed them. He watched as your parents avoided you every time it came around to the anniversary. He felt they forced you into becoming a cop. So he tampered with their car. The way he sees it he did it all for you." Mark explained.
"So why go after me now? What did I do?" Teresa asked.
"You ignored him. You never came to him the way he wanted you too."
