Bob headed over to his daughter's house. He had to be with his children as they learnt and deal with the news of Annie's death. He was still in shock that his daughter was dead. He had lost two children now and a son-in-law he thought of as a son. He arrived at Krista's and saw that Randy was there as was John and Kallie. He knew Jay was making arrangements and taking care of his children.
"Daddy." Krista said hugging him. "I can't believe she gone."
"I know sweetie." He said hugging her.
"What's going to happen now? My husband is dead and my sister. How many of us have to die before this person is caught?" Krista asked pulling away. "He almost killed Kallie. What is he trying to do?"
"He wants to make me pay for something." Bob said to the room.
"What?" Randy asked his dad.
"There was a note on Annie's body. It said Orton will pay. He is targeting our family."
"But why?" Kallie asked from the sofa where she was with John.
"I don't know." He replied. He really had no idea who it was that he made mad enough for him to kill his family. "I want everyone in this family to not go anywhere alone. "
"Yeah because that helped Ted and Annie." Krista replied. "I'm taking my daughter and I'm leaving until this is finished. Kallie, I think you should do the same and you as well Randy."
"Krista, running away isn't the answer." Kallie said to her sister.
"I'm not running away. I'm protecting my child. I'm going to pack her up and we will go to the house in Martha's Vineyard."
"Alright. I'm hiring some private security guards for you and Lily." Bob then turned to his other daughter. "Kallie, do you want to go to?"
"No. I'm not leaving and let this person win."
"Baby, maybe you should. Take Henry and go to Martha's Vineyard." John said to her. "I know you will be safe there."
"Really? This person knows everything about us. Don't you think he knows about the house and knows that we might go there? What's to stop him from coming to Martha's Vineyard and killing me and Krista?"
"You're right, Kallie. But we have to think that he only wants to kill us here in Boston." Bob replied.
"I think you're all being naive. He knows everything about the Orton family. He will know that you will want to protect your remaining children. He will count on it. Then When Krista and I are alone without you guys, he will come after us."
"Kallie, why would you say that?" John asked his wife.
"Because it's the smart plan. He knows if he takes out the girls of this family, he leaves you vulnerable. You will be upset over the loss of us and you will in perfect position for him to take you out."
Bob had to admit that Kallie was probably right. But what choice did he have. Keep them there and risk their lives.
"I'm not leaving." Kallie replied. "But I think Krista getting away is probably for the best but not to Martha's Vineyard. Maybe go see Aunt Phoebe out in San Diego."
"That's an excellent idea. I think you should come to Kallie." Krista replied. She didn't want to lose another sister.
"I will be fine. You go and take Lily."
"What about Henry, Camryn, Leah, Mason, and Nick?" Randy asked.
"They will be fine. Leah, Mason, and Nick are grieving for their mother. They need their father. He won't go after them." Kallie replied.
"Alright. I'm going to pack." Krista said walking upstairs.
Once Krista was upstairs, the guys turned to Kallie. They all wanted to know why she knew so much after what was in the killer's mind.
"Okay, how do you know what going on in the killer's mind?" Randy asked his sister.
"All those behavior analysis classes I took during law school. You guys have to realize that this guy is targeting our family. Nothing is going to stop from doing until you find out who he is. I know you have some suspects. Who are they?"
"Kallie, I don't want you involved." John said to her.
"I'm not really involved. But I'm not going to let this guy hurt my family anymore. I'm going to help you stop him."
"Alright. The suspects we have right now are Mark Calloway, Glen Jacobs, Michael Cole and Chris Jericho."
"Have you spoken with them?"
"No, not yet." Bob replied.
"Then you should."
"Alright, I'm heading back to the office and get some things together. Both of you go home and we will talk in the morning."
After leaving Krista's, Randy headed home. Camryn was with Kinley so he knew it was just going to be him and Reagan. After hearing about Annie, Randy told her to go home and he would see her later. He walked in and headed upstairs. He sat down on his bed and finally let his tears go for his sister. She was the oldest and took care of them after their mother was killed. Why were they losing everything? He thought to himself.
Reagan heard him come in and go to his room. She knew he was going to be upset about his sister and she wanted to comfort him. She softly opened the door and saw him sitting on the bed facing the wall. She walked over and sat down beside him.
"I'm sorry." She said placing a hand on his back and rubbing it.
He didn't say anything. He just sat there with his head on her shoulder crying. She had never seen him cry but she knew his heart was breaking over his sister. He and his family had already lost so much and there was no way to know what else would happen.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to break down on you." He said moving his head from her shoulder.
"It's okay. I don't mind." She said with a little laugh.
She didn't have time to react when he kissed her. She didn't pull away as the kiss deepened. They soon were in bed making love. She couldn't help but wonder what all of it meant. She knew that he was grieving for his sister and that it was probably comfort sex but she hoped once all this was done, they could try for a relationship that wasn't just sex. Something more meaningful but she knew right now he needed comfort and she wanted to give that to him.
