Jackie woke up to find her self in a strange place. She thought that it was because she hadn't gotten used to Shawn's old house yet but she wasn't even in her new home. She was in someone else's home. She sat up quickly and looked around. What if the killer had kidnapped her. She saw a young man come out of one of the rooms and sit down next to her.
"How are you feeling today miss?" He asked her.
"I'm fine; who are you?" Jackie asked him.
"My name is Phillip I found in you in the cemetery. Chloe, my friend, and I took you to the hospital. They released you in my care." Phillip replied.
"Where is my husband? Why didn't they release me to my husband?" Jackie asked.
"Your what?" Phillip asked.
"My husband Steven Hyde." Jackie said to him again.
"You're married?" Phillip asked.
"Didn't I just say that I was married?" Jackie asked back.
"Well yes you did; but aren't you kind of young to be married. I think that 20 is too young." Phillip said.
"I'm 26 and I'm very late for work." Jackie said.
"Well, you're pretty hurt and I don't think you are in any conditions to go to work." Phillip said.
"Why wouldn't the hospital release me to my husband?" Jackie asked him.
"I don't know, maybe because I saved you." Phillip said.
"Let me get this straight, the hospital releases me to a complete stranger because they know you but yet you could be some psychotic maniac. I want you to call Detective Steven Hyde right now." Jackie demanded.
"Wait a minute your husband is the new detective?" Phillip asked.
"Wow! I guess people are dumb here. Didn't I just get done telling you that?" Jackie angrily asked.
" Listen, you don't have to be rude and people in Salem aren't dumb. Thanks to your husband Salem lost Roman Brady last night. Roman Brady was just about to solve this case." Phillip said.
"He was no where near solving the case. I guess he would have solved it eventually when everyone was found dead and the killer was the last one standing. Does it really take seven murders to happen before a case is solved?" Jackie asked.
"For your information Roman Brady was on of the best cops to ever serve the force..."
"Jackie are you alright?" Hyde rushed in and asked.
"Excuse me, but you can't just barge on in here." Phillip said.
"Shut- up, Jackie why are you here instead of the hospital?" Hyde asked.
"For some reason, the hospital released me to him." Jackie said.
"You look like you're in pain. What happened?" He asked her.
"Well, the truck broke down and I was forced to walk through the forest. When I got to the part of the forest where it meets the cemetery, I noticed that there was someone out there. No wait, not just someone it was a woman. I'm sure of it; I couldn't see her face, but she had long black hair and from what I could tell, she wasn't that tall either." Jackie said.
"Let me guess, you think it was the killer." Phillip said.
"I know it was the killer." Jackie said.
"How do you know it was the killer?" Phillip skeptically asked.
"Who else would be out in a cemetery late at night destroying Hope Brady's plaque?" Jackie asked.
"What happened next Jackie?" Hyde asked her.
"Well, I was so angry with how she tried to kill me from before that I..."
"Oh no; please say you didn't...Jackie did you attack her?" Hyde asked.
"Hell yes; I wasn't going to let that bitch get away with trying to kill me." Jackie said.
"And let me guess again...she was extremely strong and that's why you are all banged up." Hyde said.
"Actually, she wasn't that strong at all. I was the one who did most of the hitting. She's probably as banged up as me or even worse than me. So you see, I have helped you out." Jackie said.
"No, no, you didn't. Jackie you have just made yourself the killer's next target." Hyde said to her.
"Well, at least she tried to help. All you have done is gotten Roman Brady killed." Phillip said.
"Did I get into the car and plan to strangle Roman Brady?" Hyde asked.
"No." Phillip replied.
"Did I strangle him forcing his car to spin out of control?" Hyde asked.
"No." Phillip replied.
"Well, if I didn't plan to strangle him to death and I didn't force his car to spin out of control then what did I actually do?" Hyde asked him.
"Um...well...if you didn't make him come out to your house then he wouldn't be dead." Phillip said.
"Roman Brady's job as an detective is to come out to a scene of a crime and... wait a second, how did you know that I called Roman Brady out to investigate crime scene?" Hyde asked him.
"Lucky guess I suppose." Phillip said.
"Steven come on, he isn't the killer. I told you before that the killer was a girl." Jackie said.
"The killer could have been wearing a wig." Hyde said.
"I also told you that the killer wasn't that strong either." Jackie said.
"Well, he doesn't look that strong; kind of looks girly." Hyde said.
Jackie looked Phillip over and then turned back to Hyde.
"Yeah I guess you're kind of right; but the point is..."
"Hey, I'm standing right here." Phillip said as Jackie and Hyde continued to laugh.
"Yeah so what's your point? Now tell me how you know about Roman Brady making a visit to our house?" Hyde asked him.
"First of all it's not your house its Shawn's house and second of all John Black told us." Phillip said.
"Who's us?" Jackie asked.
"All of the families in Salem. We're really tight around here so don't try to fit in because we don't like outsiders." Phillip said.
"I really don't care who you like and don't like. Jackie let's go. I have to pay a visit to John Black." Hyde said.
"Well, I have to get to work." Jackie said.
"I called you out. I told them that you were in the hospital and would need a few days to regain your strength." Hyde said.
"Steven; I was planning on going to work." Jackie said.
"Yeah well I don't think you are in any condition to be teaching kids today." Hyde said.
"Wait a minute, you're the new teacher. I also teach as well." Phillip said elated at the idea that the young woman would be working with him.
"That's great really but we have to get going." Hyde said.
Hyde helped Jackie up and they both made their way to the door. Hyde Jackie's arm and helped her walk steadily to the door. She was sorer than she thought she would be. As they got to the door, someone started beating on the door. Hyde opened it and once Jackie saw her face she lunged at her.
"Jackie get off of her what are you doing?" Hyde yelled.
"That bitch tried to kill me." Jackie yelled and began strangling the girl.
Hyde pried her off the young woman.
"No, you have to be mistaken. Mimi would never hurt anybody." Phillip said.
"How are you feeling today miss?" He asked her.
"I'm fine; who are you?" Jackie asked him.
"My name is Phillip I found in you in the cemetery. Chloe, my friend, and I took you to the hospital. They released you in my care." Phillip replied.
"Where is my husband? Why didn't they release me to my husband?" Jackie asked.
