Friends Forever?
Chapter elevenDanny didn't know what to do, to pass the time. He just turned on the T.V. and coincidentally story about a kidnapping was on the news and the victim happened to look like Mary. He quickly turned it off. Anything he thought about or did today, was all about Mary. He wanted her back. He hated not seeing her. His heart just kept on hurting with every moment she was out there, in danger. He soon fell asleep on his couch, his dreams about Mary and how concerned he was for her safety.
7: 30 p.m., that same day…
Danny woke up with a start. The T.V. had been turned on, and he had no idea how. He soon realized he had been sitting on the remote, his body weight causing the T.V. to turn on. He looked at the clock nearest him and saw the time. Only a half-hour until the next message would come. Danny then looked to the left of the digital clock, and saw a fond memory.
There lay a picture of him and Mary that had been taken only a year ago. They were in the Montecito just hanging out. He and Mary hadn't hung out a lot since then and now he regretted it. They were friends, and friends were supposed to be there for each other. But he had let her down. Right now, Danny was here at his house waiting for a stupid letter from her kidnapper. If he hadn't have asked her out, none of this would have happened. Even though Mike said it probably would have still happened, Danny just didn't believe it. It was his fault for the disappearance of Mary, and no on e could change his belief.
Danny winced back in pain when he layed his head back down on the couch. He looked around to see what had caused the rupture but found nothing. The ex-marine then put his finger up to the cut to wipe away any blood; he soon went into the bathroom to grab a small band-aid. Danny put the band-aid in place on his skin and looked into the mirror.
He could have sworn he saw Mary appear right next to him, but he shook his head and the image disappeared. Danny started to take deep breaths, and turned on the faucet. He splashed some water onto his face but never looked back into the mirror. For some reason he jus couldn't look at it.
The tall man kept pacing around his home, waiting for something. A phone call, a note slipped under the doorway, an e-mail, even a rock thrown through the window. He was anticipating the arrival of the message, but not as much as he was anticipating the arrival of Mary coming home to him when this was all over.
Meanwhile…Garrett looked at his watch. 7:58. He had arrived just in time. "You scream, and something worse will happen to you," Garrett told the woman that stood in front of him. He then took a piece of paper out of his pocket a long with a safety pin. He threaded the pin threw her left hand. The average height woman gasped back in pain but said nothing. "That wasn't so bad now was it?"
The woman remained silent. Fear was in her eyes but she remained strong. "Get up there and when I tell you to, ring the door bell."
The woman slowly walked towards the door. She knew where she was and she was thankful that she was in front of Danny McCoy's door and not someone else's.
Garrett checked his watch. 8:00. "Now." The woman knocked on the door as he commanded.
Danny heard the knock and instantly ran over to the door. He cautiously opened the door and was surprised at what he saw, a beautiful woman standing in front of him. A woman he had known for years.
"Hey," Mary said fighting back tears.
Danny pulled her into a protective hug. She soon broke the hug, holding up her left hand, palms up. Danny looked at what the guy had done to her. He didn't want to touch it but he knew he had to. "I'm gonna pull it out slow, okay, so it doesn't hurt as much."
Mary nodded her head. Danny started to pull the pin out but stopped once a little jump escaped Mary. "I'm okay. Keep going."
Danny looked up into her eyes but then went back to her hand. Once he had gotten the pin out of her hand, he opened up the paper.
Miss Connell is now at your door
Are you ready for more?
I'll be watching your every move
So make sure I approve
Don't tell anyone
And don't try to run
Or she will gain
Even morepain
Now listen to me
And count to three…
Danny mentally counted to three hoping nothing bad would happen. He looked down and saw a rolled up paper ball. He opened it and read it aloud.
This beautiful lady
Will not stay with me
But she will stay with you
Also remember I'm watching you
Danny looked back up at Mary once again. "Come here," he said pulling her into a hug for a second time. "It's alright, you're okay now. Your safe now." After a few minutes, they broke the hug. Danny invited her inside, and he closed his door. But before he did so, he looked around looking for any sign of a human that had no right to be at his house. But as always, he saw nothing.
Outside of Danny's Home…He wished he didn't have to put Mary in that house. But he had no choice. Danny had asked for this when he had fired at the wrong squad. Garrett couldn't wait for what was going to happen tonight. It would be a real shocker.
