Almost gave his name away. I can't wait until I can get another fic up and I don't have to worry about this one anymore. I hate these two paragraph chapters. Anyway, read on!! Luv~ ToT

Chapter Nine

I stopped screaming long enough to hear the phone ring, so I stepped over to the phone, shaking as I picked up the receiver and held it in my hand.

No ID.

"I'm sorry you had to see that. It wasn't supposed to work that way. But life isn't a storybook fantasy, is it?"

Click.

I threw the receiver down and ran to the window. No one.

No one anywhere. Fuck.

I picked the receiver back up and pushed playback. I listened closely, straining to hear any hint of familiarity.

None.

Instead, I found out something else.

The voice wasn't raspy or dry. The voice was just fine. The phone he was using, however, was staticy. He had to be calling from some cheap payphone and from a long distance.

But.then how did he know what was going on here? What the fucking pattern?

Who's next.?

Closing Comments~ Heehee. Three more chapters, guys and dolls. Hang in there! The end is drawing near.very, very near. And I can't wait!! Till later~ ToT
