Okay this is how devoted I am. Even though you can't get this lovely chapter until Friday, I want you to know that I'm here typing on a Tuesday. At first I didn't really like this story but it's starting to grow on me and I'm saddened that it's almost over. Oh well on with it.

Chapter 7: Escape

He had left her alone. After he was sure that she had seen what was in store for Patrick and Greer. It hurt him more than he thought it would. He was never supposed to fall in love with her, not for real. He was a distraction, he was to make her let her guard down and stop looking around every corner for the boogeyman. Little did she know that he had moved in. He remembered the very moment he knew he loved her.

Flashback

Anthony Bullard was nervous. He was not supposed to be nervous; after all he was playing a role. He had been approached and offered a lot of money to play this role. He was supposed to meet this pregnant woman and make her fall in love with him. Who would want to do something like that, but the rent was due and when he saw all of the zeroes on the check he knew that it would be damn easy to do it. For long he had adopted her daughter and soon if Tanzania would allow it he would give her little girl his name. There was just one problem, two actually. One he knew that this story didn't end well and he was going to have to do a bad thing, and second Patrick Jane was an asshole and he made the girl that he was supposed to only pretend to love cry. He took a deep breath and slowly walked into the bedroom.

There stood Tanzania Blake. She was downed in a beautiful yet simple wedding dress. It was very low cut and showed off her modest figure. Also strapped to her inner thigh was a 9mm and to the other a knife. It was well hidden and there just in case something went wrong. She was always waiting for something to go wrong. Patrick Jane had done that to her made it so she constantly lived in fear. He also did what he predicted and refused to show up today.

"It's okay; you're beautiful you know that." Tony told her as he hugged her.

"I just thought that maybe just this once he would put Red John on the back burner and be here for me. Isn't it every girl's dream to have her daddy walk her down the aisle?" sighed.

"It's fine, my dad adores you, and he understand that's your father can't be here so-"

"What did you tell him about my dad?" she shouted.

"Nothing, I told him that he's ill and that he couldn't make it. Don't worry I didn't tell him that your dad is a paranoid ex psychic just waiting for a serial killer to murder us all. You really look beautiful today." He told truthfully.

Tanzania leaned into his embrace. She understood why her dad couldn't be there she really did, but it didn't mean that it hurt any less. Tony's family had accepted her though, they had taken her in as if she was one of their own and more importantly they accepted her daughter as well.

"Hey Tanzy, these just arrived for you." Margaret Tony's sister told her sitting down a vase of Red Roses.

Tanzy smiled ear to ear when she saw them. This was why she loved Tony she knew that she would be feeling down without her dad being there and he got her something to make her smile. She reached for the card and really couldn't stop the tears when she read the card: I know I can't be there but I wanted you to know you're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen….Patty.

"He came Tony!" she smiled giving him a hug.

Tony Bullard knew from the smile on her face two things. One he was in love with her and two he was going to break her heart.

End Flashback

Tony decided that he would make her see that he loved her and he would be with her until it was over. After they buried Greer and Patrick was off to the funny farm he would make her see that he was just as much as a victim as she and then they could start there on family it was easy. She'd believe that right. He opened the room he had left her in sleeping and although it was a bad thing he couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face when he found out she was gone.

She was running. It was like she had been running for an hour but it couldn't be more than twenty minutes. Did he really think that she was just going to sit there and let him kill her baby? What she saw when he threw her blanket, how could he do such a thing? She called him daddy and he loved her she knew that was something that you just couldn't pretend. She need her father, she just hoped he didn't believe the lies that were coming his way.

"Stop right there." One of her husband's goons shouted.

"Okay, just don't shoot okay. You got me, I guess well I was stupid to think that I could escape right I mean I have no idea where I am or how to get out of here and well you guys have all the guns and I'm just standing here just trying to I don't talk myself out of this predicament. You have to excuse me a babble see that's what I do when I'm around guns I babble that's why I don't like carrying a gun because guns make me nervous and when I'm nervous I babble and what I really want right now is for you…..die!"

The guard never saw it coming as she babble she got closer and closer to him and before he realized it she gave him a swift kick to the face causing him to drop his gun.

"Do I have to shoot you?" she asked pointing the gun at his head.

"You wouldn't." he sneered at her.

She pointed the gun at his knee and pulled the trigger.
