Catherine continued running and before she knew it, she had reached the gas station.
Catherine ran inside the store and pulled the door shut and locked it behind her.
"Please" She limped over the gas attendant who was staring at her from behind the counter.
"You have to help me! There is a man and he is after me!"
The gas attendant quickly walked over the the door and flipped his open sign to closed and helped Catherine to the back of the store.
"You stay here" he smiled at her " I will be right back, lock the door behind me"
The man left and Catherine locked the door behind him
Catherine sat for a few moments before she realized she was still clutching her cell phone.
Gil watched Lindsey as she lay across the chairs and slept. It had been an hour since he had heard from Catherine and there was nothing he could do for her, he had contacted Brass and Brass had every officer in town out looking for her, but he promised he would not leave Lindsey.
Gil's head began to nod and his eyes began to close, he was drifting off to sleep when the ringing of his cell phone woke both him and Lindsey.
A sense of hope was upon him when he saw the caller id.
"Catherine?" he answered
"Gil?" she whispered " Oh God Gil, I was so freaked out"
"Cath, sweetheart where are you?"
Catherine let out a small sigh "Highway fifty-six, I was driving and..and"
Gil listened on the other end as Catherine began to cry
"Catherine, it's okay now, I am on my way, just stay where you are, it is going to be okay"
After informingBrass and Warrick, Gil and Lindsey gathered in his tahoe and drove out to highway fifty-six to meet Brass.
Catherine sat in the back room and waited for the gas attendant to return.
"Catherine?" A voice called from the other side of the door " Open up, everything is fine now"
Catherine got up from the chair she was sitting in and began to unlatch the door when she stopped.
"I don't recognize your voice, how do I know it's safe, are the police here?"
The man behind the door did not reply right away
"Sir?" Catherine called
"It's me Catherine, open the door, "
Catherine made a face " How did you know my name?"
"What?" the man replied
Catherine took a step back from the door " My name, how do you know my name, I never told you"
" Ma'am open the door, so we can get out of here"
Catherine did not respond
"DAMIT BITCH!" the man yelled " OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!"
Catherine felt the tears coming back
"Leave me alone!" she screamed " Please just leave me alone"
From the other side of the door Catherine could hear footsteps decending. She slowly walked toward the door and put her ear against it.
As she slowly slide down the back of the door and sobbed she heard the footsteps returning and then the loud crack when the axe broke through the door.
Catherine quickly scrambled backward and watched in horror,she quickly got to her feet and went towad the only way out of the room, a small window. Catherine lifted the chair she was sitting in and used it to break the window.
She had one foot out when she realized the man was no longer trying to break down the door, in fact he was no where in sight.
Catherine backed away from the window, waiitng for the maniaic to show up.
"Catherine?" a familair voice called out
Catherine walked toward the door and peered through the small crack
"Catherine Are you here?"
