CHAPTER NINE
"What's the matter, Brittany?" Melissa yelled, racing down the stairs and out the door. She gasped. Not far up the street were the bodies of Josie, Erica, and Rachel, lying facedown on the street.
"Mom! Dad!" Melissa raced inside, dragging Brittany with her. While Melissa's parents investigated the bodies, Melissa dragged Brittany into her room.
"What do you think happened?" Brittany asked.
"I think it was the guy who got you and Callie," Melissa answered, smiling. Brittany looked at her and grinned. "You're not thinking-"
"Yes, I am," Melissa said.
"You're going with it?" Brittany asked.
"And so are you."
"Oh, no way!"
"Yeah, Brittany. You and I are going to take down that man."
"I can't believe I'm doing this," Brittany muttered. Then she smiled. "Okay. Let's bring this on, girl."
"Great!" Melissa smiled.
We're going to get him, Melissa thought. We're going to catch him no matter what!
