By the time Kris and Sabrina rushed into the hospital room where Kelly was,
the doctor was finishing putting in the final stitch to the cut on her
forehead. Alyson was sitting next to her, seemingly unharmed and tightly
holding Kelly's hand, obviously frightened by the incident.
"Kelly!" Kris had shouted when they first saw her.
"It's ok Kris. I'm fine."
"Doctor?" Sabrina asked, knowing Kelly would say that no matter what.
"She's just a little banged up. 5 stitches and a possible concussion. I'm going to release her once we're done here, just keep an eye on her for the next 24 hours as a precaution.all right, you're done Mrs.Johnson, just keep that dry for the next week."
"Thank you doctor. Come on sweetie, time to go." Kelly said as she stood up from the exam table, obviously experiencing some light headiness as she did so. Once her balance was regained though she walked out with Alyson holding her hand and Kris and Sabrina behind her.
"Kel., what happened? Kris anxiously asked.
"I don't know. One minute I'm on the phone with you and then as I was pulling back onto the road someone ran into me, pushing us over the top of the embankment, then everything went black for a minute or so."
"Did you see the license plate or anything?" Sabrina asked.
"No, it happened too quickly. I'm willing to bet that it was our killer though."
"Maybe it's time you lay low Kel." Sabrina suggested.
"No, defiantly not."
"But Kel., you have 5 stitches in your head and a possible concussion. To me, that says it's time you lay low." Kris protested.
"I won't do it. It takes a lot more then a couple of stitches to keep me away. Besides, I have to keep Alyson safe. So what do we do now?"
"Go back to the office I guess. Charlie's working on getting you a rental car Kel." Sabrina said.
"All right. Let's go then." Kelly responded.
When they arrived back at the office, Bosley was quick to show his concern for Kelly's health. Kelly however, went right to the phone and dialed Charlie's number, tired of being told she should be running away.
"Are you sure you're ok Angel?"
"Yes Charlie, I'm fine."
"The doctor said she needed 5 stitches and she has a possible concussion. Alyson walked away unharmed." Sabrina added in.
"Maybe you should take some time off." Charlie suggested.
"No, I won't do that Charlie. Now we have a case to solve and I'm going to be here when we solve it. So what's our next move?"
"Well, I worked on the lead you gave us Kel, and you may have something. The last person that saw both of Alyson's parents alive was their neighbor, Peter Rennings and that was when they called the police on him for trespassing only hours before hand." Sabrina added.
"It's all we have to go on so far, so who want's to talk to Peter."
"I'll." Kelly began to say.
"No, I'll go Kel. You've been banged up enough today." Kris interrupted.
"I think you're on the right track. Keep in touch." Charlie added before hanging up. After that, Kris left for Peter's house leaving Kelly alone with Sabrina, Bosley and Alyson.
"Will you at least stay with me now Kel. If anything just so I can make sure you wake up in the morning." Sabrina offered again.
"No, I'll be fine Bre. I got me and Alyson a hotel room to throw whoever this is off, and I'll be driving a rental car so all should be ok. If anything's wrong though, I'll be sure to call."
"Ok. Just be careful. This guy is serious."
"I know. Hopefully, by tommorow we'll have what we need to have Peter arrested and this will all be over."
"Tell me about it." With that said, Kelly left the office with Alyson and took her back to their hotel room. When they got there, Kelly was tired, probably from the concussion, but Alyson didn't seem to want to go to bed. "Kelly, what happened today?" Alyson asked.
"What do you mean Alyson?"
"Why did Peter hurt you?"
"How do you know Peter hurt me Alyson?"
"I saw him in the car behind us. He was there when we left your work."
"Your sure it was Peter Alyson?"
"Yeah. Why did he hurt you?"
"Because of what I do. Your possitive that that was Peter, right Alyson?
"I said yeah already!"
"I know. My head hurts a little, what do you say we go to bed."
"Ok. Good night Kelly."
"Good night Alyson." With that said, Alyson crawled into her bed and curled up with her teddy bear. After seeing she was asleep, Kelly walked over to the window and dialed Sabrina's number on her cell phone.
"Bre, it's Kelly, what did Kris find out today."
"Nothing, Peter abandoned his place two days ago. Why, what happened?"
"Nothing, except Alyson just told me that she saw Peter driving the car that hit us earlier today. She said he was behind us ever since we left the office. I think we should make our move on him."
"Good thinking. We'll meet at the office and move from there."
"Ok, good night." After that, she hung up and sat on her own bed, watching Alyson peacefully sleep for a few minutes before lying down herself. Her head ached from the concussion and the stitches but all she could think about was the next day, and how Alyson might finally be safe.
"Kelly!" Kris had shouted when they first saw her.
"It's ok Kris. I'm fine."
"Doctor?" Sabrina asked, knowing Kelly would say that no matter what.
"She's just a little banged up. 5 stitches and a possible concussion. I'm going to release her once we're done here, just keep an eye on her for the next 24 hours as a precaution.all right, you're done Mrs.Johnson, just keep that dry for the next week."
