Another week had passed and everything was nice and peaceful.
Tony and Kate had started dating, so now the two were inseparable. Not that anyone minded.
So Kate and Tony had gone out to dinner, which after they'd go see a movie as well. So Riley was on her own.
She lay strewn across the couch, with Chance in her lap watching "Scream" when the doorbell rang.
She grumpily paused the movie and then got up from the couch making her way to the front door of the apartment.
"Yes?" She said cautiously after she had opened the door a few inches. "what are you doing here? How'd you find me?" She asked, a sinking feeling beginning to run through her.
"I'm a detective Miss Taylor, its part of my job. But I'm here because I found something out about your brother. I think I'd better come in, you really should sit down for this." Mr. Dover said.
Riley gripped the door tighter. "I told you Mr. Dover I no longer need your services. And truthfully I have no interest in learning about what dirt you've dug up on my brother. So if you'll excuse me I have things to do. Good day Mr. Dover." She said politely as she began to close the door.
Bill grabbed the door. "We need to talk Riley Anne. I don't want to hurt you." He said roughly as he forced his way in.
Riley backed away from Bill; she tried to think of what to do. She was alone and Tony wasn't here to save her.
Bill began to come towards her. "I just want to get even. I didn't even know who you we're until you said you we're looking for him. I like you Riley Anne but He needs to pay." Bill growled.
Riley held back a whimper. "Stay where you are, I'll scream if you come any closer." She threatened, her voice cold, yet calm despite her current feelings.
Bill took a step back as a little white blur shot across the room and in front of him. I forgot about the stupid mutt. He thought angrily. He fell to the ground as a hard object struck him in the head. "you'll regret that move little one." He warned her as he went at her, wrestling the object out of her hands. He looked at the object which had been a golf club. "I didn't know you golfed, sweetheart." He told her.
Riley took a step back. She didn't even care if he saw that she was afraid, she just wanted her brother.
"awe, are you scared? Where's that little tough girl act huh angel?" Bill teased as he watched Riley back away.
Bill covered his ears. "Shut the mutt up or I'll do so permanently." He threatened harshly.
Riley didn't believe him until he pulled out a hand gun. "Chance! Here Baby." She told him. She picked the tiny white terrier up. As she went back to the back bedroom trying to figure out an escape route or how to get to her gun the dog growled at Bill.
She started to go into her room.
"No, just push him in and shut the door like a good girl." He ordered.
Riley's hope dropped a mile, as she followed his orders. What do I do know? She thought desperately.
