Ch. 25

Help has arrived

Tad rushed back to his car and flung open the door. He kneeled down and felt under the seat for his gun, and when he found it he made sure it was loaded and that the safety was off. He quickly but quietly jogged towards the building, and looked around. He went to the side and saw a ladder leading up to a broken window. He climbed up it, and quietly entered the building.

"Oh God, Oh God, Oh God!" Babe repeated, not being able to look at Amanda's bloody body or the blood that had splattered on her clothes and face. "Why did you do that!" Babe screamed at Paul.

Paul rubbed the side of the head with his hand, and turned on Babe, "Shut up!"

Babe clamped her mouth shut, and the tears poured down her face, mixing with the blood. Paul rocked back in forth, thinking about what he was gonna do.

"I need to take her out back and bury her... yeah, that's it. That's what I'll do." Paul mumbled, his eyes wide.

Babe sunk deeper into her chair, terrified of what Paul had become. He was detached from reality, and Babe had no idea what he would do next. She averted her gaze as Paul grabbed Amanda's body by the hair and dragged her outside, leaving a trail of blood. Babe tried to hold back her sobs.

As soon as Paul shut the door, she started crying and praying to God to get out of here alive.

…..

JR had called the cops, and told them where Paul and Amanda were holding Babe hostage. After that, he called Jamie and told him the news.

JR got in his car, and started it up. He had been told to stay away and let the police handle Paul and Amanda, but JR had to go and get Babe. He didn't know if she was hurt, and he wasn't about to leave Babe's fate in the hands of the incapable PVPD. He sped off in his car, breaking many laws, and he was lucky no cops were around to slow him down.

But even if they were, he probably wouldn't have let them stop him anyway.

…..

Jamie was also speeding towards the building where Babe was, and he dialed a number on his phone.

"Hello?" Krystal answered, and you could tell she had been crying.

"Krystal, it's me, Jamie."

"Oh my God, Jamie. Have you found her?" Krystal asked hopefully.

"Yeah we have, the cops are on their way to go and get her now." Jamie informed her.

"Oh thank god, oh thank you!" Krystal cried.

"I just wanted to let you know."

"Jamie, call when you know for sure that she is OK." Krystal said, and hung up the phone.

At that moment, David had walked into the room.

"What did Junior Martin have to say?"

David had been persuaded to stay here with Krystal, even though it killed him not being out looking for his daughter. And even though he hated Tad and JR, he knew that Babe was in good hands if they found her. He couldn't say the same for Jamie, though.

"David, they found Babe! They are on their way to get her now!" Krystal cried, overjoyed, and jumped into David's arms, "They found her!"

David smiled, not letting the question 'what if she isn't alive' enter his mind.
