Kelly walked into the office carrying a sleeping Alyson whom she placed
down on the couch before sitting down herself in front of the desk. Things
had been quiet after the rock incident, but Kelly was still uneasy and had
a constant fear that something worse was going to happen to them. Having
arrived earlier then anyone else, Sabrina had followed up on the leads that
they had obtained the day before, but hadn't had much luck. She was just
as worried as Kelly was, and kept begging Kelly to stay with her, or take
Alyson out of the area, but Kelly wouldn't hear it. She was determined to
put an end to this killer's madness, especially now that he had threatened
her own daughter. Finger print tests from the note and rock had come up
negative, and the grandparents hadn't seen anything so they still had very
little to go on. When Charlie called, they were completely out of ideas,
and desperate for time.
"What time last night did the rock come through your window Angel?" Charlie asked Kelly.
"Around 10 Charlie. Christopher and I had just put Kasey and Alyson to bed, and were just about to go to bed ourselves when I heard the window break."
"And you didn't see anything?" Sabrina had double checked.
"No. By the time I figured out what had happened it was too late."
"And there weren't any footprints or tire tracks?"
"No, I checked the entire area and couldn't find anything. Whoever we're dealing with, they're experts."
"Unfortunately for us. So what do you suggest we do?" Kris questioned.
"Well, there is one thing. Is Alyson there with you now Angel?"
"Yes. She's sleeping though. She was pretty shaken up last night."
"I know it's a long shot Angels but as long as the killer is after Alyson, then why not make her accessible to them."
"Excuse me Charlie? She's only 5 years old!" Kelly protested.
"I know Angel, but that's why you'd go with her."
"Me! Charlie, the more you talk, the less I'm liking this idea."
"I agree with Kelly Charlie. Isn't that being a little risky? I mean, she's just a kid." Sabrina argued.
"Not if we do it carefully. Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but I have full confidence that you ladies can handle it." After that, Charlie went into more detail as to what he actually planed. Kelly would take Alyson to a playground were not too many people were and from there they would surround the area so that they could get their man whenever he made his move. Reluctantly, Kelly argreed to the plan and once Charlie hung up, proceeded to wake up Alyson.
"Sweetie, time to wake up." Kelly whispered to Alyson.
"Time to see mommy?" Alyson sleepily asked.
"No sweetheart, but how about you and me go get something to eat and bring it to the park?" Kelly suggested, trying to excite her.
"Ok."
"Park in 2 hours, right?" Kelly confirmed with Kris and Sabrina.
"We'll be there." Sabrina responded. After that, Kelly took Alyson's hand and left the office with her. Once she had her strapped into her back seat, Kelly began to drive towards the near by fast food place. Along the way, she watched Alyson through her rear view mirror and was surprised by her reaction when they drove by the cemetary.
"Do you miss your mommy and daddy Alyson?"
"Yeah."
"You know, my mommy and daddy died when I was little too."
"Really?"
"Yeah, except I didn't have a grandma and grandpa to live with."
"Where'd you live then?"
"In a big building with other little girls without mommies and daddies."
"Weren't you sad?"
"Sure I was. But the difference between you and me is I never met my mommy or daddy."
"Never!"
"Never." As Kelly said this though, Alyson began to look behind Kelly's head, moving her hair around as if she were searching for something.
"What are you doing back there?"
"Peter said people without mommy and daddy's had 4 green eyes on the back of their heads."
"Who's Peter Alyson?"
"Mommy's friend. He was the one that found me."
"Did Peter and your Mommy get along?"
"Yeah, but him and daddy yelled a lot. Daddy didn't like Peter because mommy liked him." With that said, Kelly pulled over to the side of the road, putting the car on the top of an embankment as she began to dial on her cell phone. After just a few rings, Sabrina answered, surprised to be hearing from Kelly.
"Bre, it's Kelly. I think I just solved our case. Alyson's mom was having an affair with a man named Peter, and her husband found out."
"So you think this guy killed Alyson's father first to get him out of the picture?"
"Yeah, but her mom saw it happen so he had no choice but to kill her too."
"And that's the same reason he's after Alyson. It's the most solid thing that we have right now."
"I agree. Do we continue with our plan though?"
"Let's not. If all of this is the result of an affair gone wrong then I don't want to take any chances. Come back here with Alyson and we'll check into this Peter guy."
"Ok. I'm going to get Alyson something for lunch and then I'll be back." And on that note, Kelly hung up and was about to pull back onto the road when another car bumped her, causing Kelly's car to roll down the hill into the ditch below, Kelly screaming as it all happened.
"What time last night did the rock come through your window Angel?" Charlie asked Kelly.
"Around 10 Charlie. Christopher and I had just put Kasey and Alyson to bed, and were just about to go to bed ourselves when I heard the window break."
