Chapter Eleven

The SUV rolled to a stop in between a few old warehouses. Here was only one other car sitting there and that belonged to Carl Malone, Laura's captain. Walt approached the older man and shook his hand. "I'm Sheriff Bannerman and this is Johnny Smith."

"So, you're her cousin, huh?" Malone asked. Johnny only nodded. "Don't worry, she's a good cop. If anyone can make if out of this, it's her." He then turned to the task at hand. "What've we got?"

"Well, we know she went missing last night. They took her right from her bed," Walt explained the rest of the case as Johnny began to do some exploring into his own mind.

He clutched her hairbrush tightly. "Come on, Laura. Give me a sign." He shook as a vision took her him.

He was once again watching from afar, which was a very rare occasion. Laura was still on the floor, dirty as ever. The man was standing above her still, a deep chuckle in his voice. He watched as she was kicked hard three times in the stomach. He heard painful moans escape her lips as she curled into a ball to control the pain.

"Quiet!" The man yelled, slapping her across the face. She didn't make a sound as she glared up at him. "Much better. Now… it's time to conclude this little interrogation. Farewell, Detective."

Johnny heard the shot as his vision ended. But it wasn't the one from the vision that he cared about. Walt and Captain Malone had heard a distant shot being fired. "No," Johnny said, softly. He broke off into a run, leaving his friend and the officer behind. "No! He said again, this time louder.

Walt and the captain quickly followed suit, almost losing sight of Johnny at times.

"Does he know where he's going?" Malone asked.

"I hope so," Walt answered.


Johnny ran as quickly as he could, panic rising within him. Time was ticking.

He stopped and looked around. Where had that sound come from? Then he heard her loud moans of pain. He turned left.

The building was right in front of him. He couldn't wait for Walt or Captain Malone. There were only a few minutes left.

"…It's time to conclude this little interrogation. Farewell, Detective." He aimed his gun at her, his evil glare frightening her.

She closed her eyes as she waited for the gun to fire. This was the end. She regretted so much at this moment. There was so much that she needed to tell Johnny; things that he didn't know. She took a deep breath and waited.

She heard a loud bang, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that he hadn't fired the gun. He was too startled by someone bursting through the doors to fire.

A smile lit up her face as she saw who had just saved her life. "Johnny!" She cried out.

Johnny only glanced at her as he kept her kidnapper in his view. "Let her go," he said.

The other man's smile widened. "So, you're the famous psychic? I figured you'd show up sooner or later… and I am so happy that you did. You can help me say goodbye to your freak of a cousin." He pointed the gun back at Laura, his finger ready on the trigger.

"Put the gun down," Johnny said, ignoring what the man was saying. He was worried more about his actions than his words. "You can't do this to her."

"Can't I? Trust me, no one will miss her. One less cop in the world," he laughed maniacally as he looked at her.

Laura's heart pounded wildly. Surely Johnny wouldn't come alone. So, where was his backup? She was sure this was not going to end well.

"Put the gun down," Johnny repeated.

"I don't think so. This is what she deserves."

"Is it? What did she do to you that was so bad?" He was now trying to stall for time. Walt and Captain Malone would be there soon.

"Let's not get into details Mr. Smith. Let's just say she earned this."

"Put the gun down, Robert!" Laura heard her captain say. She looked over at the doorway to see Carl and Walt standing there, both with their guns aimed at him.

Robert only gave a smile as he fired the gun.


There are only two more chapters left! It's sad, I know. But I really had fun writing this, just as I hope you had fun reading it. Please read and review, even if you don't like it. Tell me what you think needs improvement and what you liked the most. I'm half tempted to write a sequel at this point, but I'm not getting my hopes up at this point.

Don't forget to review! Thanks for reading!
