Chapter 36

Chloe could tell that Officer Mitchell was not happy about being reprimanded by her commanding officer, but then, maybe she should have learned how to be a better cop and not piss off another officer who was on the job a lot longer than that rookie idiot. Chloe was rubbing her belly as she finished writing out her own statement and she could see Bosco was doing the same thing. Ella was currently playing with Faith and Sully and Chloe was well aware that everyone in the precinct wanted a chance to play with the young toddler. Chloe didn't mind letting Ella see where her parents worked, what she was upset about was the news that this maniac was clearly back and he clearly wanted to take out Chloe and Bosco, and Ella had nearly been caught in the cross fire. That would have been the worse thing in the world for them to have happen, to be the reason their innocent daughter was killed.

"We need to figure out what we are going to do." Chloe whispered softly.

"There isn't much that we can do." Bosco said with a sigh. "We could leave town, but something tells me he would just lie low until we came back, because we can't stay away forever."

"I know." Chloe whispered as she studied their daughter. "I don't know how to handle anything anymore."

Chloe was even more concerned because she knows the child she was carrying was also a target and would be even after they were born. The fact that this killer was willing to shoot at innocent children only showed just how much rage was inside this person, and Chloe was beginning to think that she was wrong about what this was about. She had thought that this had started with a call from a long time ago, but the more she thought about it, the more she figured that there was another reason for this whole thing to be happening. There had to be a reason why someone was willing to shoot at innocent children, there had to be a really bad thing that happened. People didn't just suddenly become willing to kill little kids, they had to have lost it for some reason.

"Bosco, why do you think this person snapped? There has to be a good reason for this." Chloe said as she leaned back in her chair.

"I know baby, but I can't think of any reason for this. Why would someone actually attack little kids?" Bosco said shaking his head. He could see that his wife was pale, and he knew that she was worried about being pregnant right now and being able to protect their young toddler. Bosco knew that for any police officer, to be unable to protect their own children, that was a low blow and it was the hardest thing to swallow, but he knew she wasn't going to be able to keep their daughter safe and when she got further along protecting the baby inside of her, would be really hard. "I think when you get in your latter months we need to leave town, I want you to be safe when you aren't going to be able to run away baby."

"I agree." Chloe said softly.

He was sitting in his new place, wondering what he should do next, whether he should kill another officer or if there was something else he should do instead. He sighed as he leaned back in the chair he had in his new hideout and looked at the pictures on his wall. He was angry that he had not even wounded any of the people he had been aiming at but he guessed it was a good thing he had at least missed the kids. He had lost his temper by shooting into that playground like that, he had never shot at children like that. He had people that he had hired that had threatened kids, but he had never ever, himself, hurt or threatened a child, until earlier that day. He was pissed off with himself as he got up and paced back and forth. Knowing there was an innocent life inside of that traitor, Chloe, really upset him because it meant that he would have to leave her alone, unless he wanted to risk taking an innocent life.

"I think that you are really lucky that I really hate hurting innocents Chloe, because you know that I could take you out right now without a second thought." He growled as he threw another knife at the picture of Chloe and her husband, Maurice.

He glared at the family picture and then sighed. There was nothing he could do to them, yet. Unless he changed his mind and decided to take the whole family out, it might be a good idea to just take them all out, so that Ella and the baby weren't left as orphans. He would have to really think about this whole thing, and really think hard.

Chloe was sitting in their bedroom and packing her and Bosco's bags. The decision had been made that leaving town while she was pregnant would be the best option. They had talked with their boss and he agreed, he wanted his officers safe and anyone who was a main target of this shooter, they needed to lie low. Faith and her husband and kids were already leaving town as well. Sully was ordered out of town and now that Davis was out of the hospital and doing better, he was also being ordered out of town. Chloe knew that anyone who was deemed a target would be ordered to get their family out of town, until the FBI could figure this out, because the FBI had taken over the investigation. It bothered a lot of people that someone could elude the police after killing so many people and hiring so many people to help him kill all these people, now it was about finding out who was responsible and getting to the bottom of the whole thing. They needed to know who was killing the cops, and they needed to find it out soon.

Chloe rubbed her belly and looked at the picture of her and her family, and it bothered her that there was so much danger surrounding them. They would get out of town and lie low, but would that even matter? What would happen if this crazy killer decided to track them down and find them? Chloe had a bad feeling that even if they lied low and then came back when the baby was born, things would only get worse.
