Chapter 20

Kyle checked his watch, worriedly, before looking around again, concerned.

'That's odd, where's Jenn...we were supposed to meet up here an hour ago...this isn't like her, she's never late.' He wondered. 'I don't know...something doesn't seem right here.'

He bit his lip, looking around once more before pacing back and forth for a moment.

Finally he shook his head. 'Okay, now this is just getting too freaky, Jenn is never late and if she is, she'd text or call me. This is not right but what could...I need to do something.'

With a heavy sigh he finally realized, Jenn wasn't going to show up, but something did not add up. He couldn't help but wonder why she wouldn't turn up.

'Something must have happened to her…?' He figured eventually. 'But what...urgh, man I don't...I need to figure this out...but first...'

He quickly pulled out his phone and tried to call Jenn, her phone rang and rang, but there was no answer. Kyle lowered his phone grimly; fear gripping at his heart; now he was sure something was wrong. So he quickly called the next person he intended to call, they answered promptly enough.

"Kyle?"

"Sean, I need your help." Kyle said at once. "I need you to call Jamie and Lyla and meet up with me at my house. Something's wrong here."

Sean hesitated but then replied. "Alright, alright, we'll see you there."

With that they hung up and Kyle began heading home, hoping that his fears were wrong.

It wasn't long before the trio showed up at the house, along with someone else, although he hadn't seen her before, Kyle was sure that this girl was Sean's girlfriend, Cassidy.

"Kyle?" Sean asked once they were all present.

Kyle shook his head sadly. "It's Jenn, she's...she's missing. I was there waiting for her but she never turned up, she won't answer her phone."

Cassidy was the first to speak up. "And this is...very unusual for her?"

"Yeah." Kyle replied.

The others all nodded too, confirming it.

"You think something happened to her?" Jamie asked.

"I'm hoping not." Kyle said. "But I'm starting to be worried that might be the case, the question is...what could've happened to her?"

Lyla grimaced. "Any idea where she was last seen?"

Kyle hesitated. "She...she sent me a...a picture...It looked like she was in the gym locker rooms when she sent it and…"
"Let's take a look, just quickly, okay." Lyla remarked.

The others agreed, not able to think about any other options. So they hurried back to the school, it wasn't closed yet as the drama department was hosting on of their plays that evening. Entering the locker rooms they saw something which instantly caught their attention. Jenn's bag and flats, on the floor, dropped, as if in a struggle. That was enough for them, they called the police.

Kyle couldn't help but feel restless, he knew that Jenn was in danger, he just knew it. But right now he was stuck at the gym, talking to the police as the others explained everything as best as they could about what they knew.

"So you were to meet with Miss Murphy for a date, is that right Mr. Sherman?" The officer questioned.

Kyle nodded. "That's right, it's when she didn't show up or send any word or even answer when I called her, I knew something was wrong."

The officer nodded carefully. "And what did you do then?"

"I called my friends, they knew her too. We met up at my house and tried to figure out what could have happened...Then we got the idea to come here, she uh, sent me a picture, um..." Kyle hesitated.

The officer nodded. "I understand, carry on."

"Well anyway, we came here, the location in the picture and looked around, that's when we spotted her belongings, dropped there...we didn't touch anything, we called the police right away." Kyle finished.

"Alright Mr. Sherman, thank you. Just hold on a moment please, we'll get onto this right away."

With that the officer stepped away to join some of the others. Kyle shifted, awkward and worried. He hadn't been the only one, worried in case her family had posted a missing persons report, Cassidy had slipped away before the police arrived. Kyle was jolted out of his thoughts by his phone suddenly vibrating. Pulling it out he checked it and froze, it was the stalkers number. He had already told the police everything he could about the stalker. Anxiously he checked the number and froze, startled.

"You are running out of time Kyle Sherman, you should have learned that I am the only one for you and this slut doesn't deserve you, now look what it's come too." The message read. "You need to come here and make your choice, you'll see when you get here and see everything that you don't need her and will let her meet her well deserved fate."

It was accompanied by a picture of Jenn, in a room somewhere, tied to a chair in her skimpy underwear, tightly cleave gagged and terrified, as across from her, attached to a stand, was a gun, secured to the door of the room by a rope. It was an obvious trap, try to enter the room through the door to save Jenn, the gun would fire and Jenn would be shot and killed. There was also an address and Kyle, realizing what needed to happen, acted at once.

Entering the old warehouse, Kyle looked around worriedly before he heard it, the muffled screaming from the office at the end of the warehouse, it had to be the place. He rushed over and froze at the window, sure enough there was Jenn, tied to the chair, trapped.

"MMMMMMMMMMMM!" She screamed as she saw him.

Kyle grimaced. "Just, hold on Jenn, I'll get you outta this, somehow..."

He knew he couldn't break the window, the glass was reinforced and the door was an obvious non-starter, he needed to think.

Then he heard it. "Wrong choice, Kyle, you were meant to choose me and not that slut. Now I have to force things to happen and deal with that tramp once and for all...then make you see the truth."

With that he was suddenly grabbed, startled as an arm wrapped around his torso, pinning his arms and another hand clamped a sweet smelling cloth over his mouth and nose.

'Shit, chloroform, it's gotta be, what was used on Jenn!?' Kyle's mind raced. "MMMMMM!"

He reacted at once, struggling and managed to slip an arm free and elbow the stalker, knocking them back. Coughing and trying to regain his balance after nearly being drugged to sleep, Kyle groaned and then froze, eyes wide as he finally saw the stalker, glaring at him, clad in a black mid-thigh skirt, a white blouse and black heels. The stalker was none other than Laura Williams.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
