Chapter 5
"Atwood, your next assignment for Miss Cooper is to get her out of Texas. All the other woman are going to different states too. This guy is too close to killing them. We need her out of Riggs."
"What state?"
"Arizona"
"Why Arizona"
"Because he'll never look there."
"How will I get her to come?"
"Use your brain. And if that doesn't work try sleeping with her."
"WHAT!!!!!"
"I'm kidding."
"Oh... How long am I supposed to stay there?"
"Until I tell you. But probably a few weeks."
"Do you have all the accommodations ready?"
"Why do you think? Of course. Be there tomorrow. Oh don't call me in a few weeks."
"Why not"
"I'm out on my second honeymoon."
"Congrats"
"Remember. Tomorrow!"
The door bell rang. Marissa got up to answer it.
"Ryan! What are you doing here?"
"What you don't like me visiting you?"
"Of course I like it but I thought you're coming over tonight?"
"I was but since I'm here now I have something to tell you."
"Okay?"
"I know we hardly really know each other but just to get your mind off this guy who's been scaring you, Let's go to Arizona where he won't find you."
"No. Absolutely not. He told me to stay here or something will happen to you. I'm not risking it."
"That's crazy. He won't find us. I'm going to be with you. And I can take care of myself. Thank you very much."
"What if he still finds us. He'll be mad as hell for me disobeying him."
"Then let him be mad. He's not going to track us down."
"Promise?"
"I will do the best of my ability that it won't happen."
"Okay I'll come."
"Good. Now pack your bags. Because tomorrow we're going to the Grand Canyon State.!"
"Tomorrow!!!!!"
"Yeah. Because the faster we leave the safer we'll all be."
"Okay. Will you help me pack my bags?"
"So what do you need?" Ryan asked, comfortably sitting on Marissa's bed."
"Get off of my bed!" Marissa said coming into the room. "I don't want to buy a new bed."
"Why would you?"
"Because ."
"And here comes the real Marissa Cooper." He joked.
"I'm not that uptight!"
"Sure you're not." He said sarcastically.
"Never mind. Now go in that drawer and get me all my jeans."
"Here you are ma'lady."
"Thank you. How long are we staying there?"
"A couple weeks."
"Next go in the top right shelf and get the purple and blue tops."
"Okay. Now are you going to sit there the whole time while I get all your things or are you going to help?"
"The first one."
"Marissa!!! You little person." He laughed.
"Okay okay! I give up. I'll help you. But first while I get my suitcases, get all my clothes from that drawer." She said pointing to a tall wood dresser.
"okay."
---------------------------------------------------------
The next morning....
"Marissa hurry up!!!! The plane leaves in a little over an hour."
"I'm coming. I'm coming. Hold your horses."
"Do you have everything you need?"
"No."
"What did you forget?"
"My sanity. What am I doing?"
"Going on an airplane. Going somewhere safe."
"Yeah. Yeah."
"Let's hit Arizona.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Marissa, wake up we're here."
"Go away. Just 5 more minutes."
"No Marissa. wake up. We're in the Sky Harbor Airport."
"Carry me?"
"No. Get your butt out of that uncomfortable seat."
"It's really comfortable!" She protested.
"How bout I make you a deal. You get off this plane and once we do I will carry you."
"Okay."
"Now get up!"
"Alright, Alright.!!!"
"You promised you would carry me!"
"We're almost off of the airplane, can't ya hold on a minute?"
"I'm tried and bored and hungry and my feet are killing me."
"Well that's what happens after being on a plane for over 3 hours. We can stop at a restaurant soon."
"Okay. That sounds good."
------------------------------------------------------------------
But what Ryan and Marissa didn't know was that David Breath was right on their heals.
