Disclaimer: Duh. I do not own these characters (except for police
officers Officer Jen Lawson and Officer Ken Johns, which I made up all on
my own.) Yep.
Thanks sooooooo much for all the great feedback you guys have given me. I am sorry this has taken so long to update - I have been a very busy girl the last week! I'll try to update more often. Enjoy!
FEAR
Chapter 3: The Next Morning
Chandler hung up the phone. "Officer Lawson was pretty concerned," he informed Monica, "But since we do have to give our permission for anyone to come up, she said she wasn't going to send anyone to stand watch tonight, at least not yet. However, there was some bad news."
"What?"
"They weren't able to lift any fingerprints off of the knife or the note. Whoever did it was pretty thorough."
Monica sighed and sank down into the couch. "I can't believe this. Why would someone want to do this to us? What if the caller was telling the truth? What if he IS planning to kill us?"
The phone rang again, and Monica and Chandler both jumped.
"Don't answer it!" Monica begged, but Chandler picked it up anyway.
"Hello?" he snapped into the phone.
He listened for a moment and his face relaxed. "It's Ross," he told Monica. Monica relaxed as well.
Chandler spoke to Ross for a couple of minutes, and then handed the phone to Monica. "He wants to talk to you." Monica took the phone. "Hey, big brother."
"Monica? Are you okay?" Ross barked. "What's going on? Joey and Rachel called me to tell me there was a problem. They told me what happened earlier. Have you heard from the police?"
Monica relayed what Officer Lawson had told Chandler. "And there was something else too. . ." her voice trailed off, not wanting to worry him anymore than he already was.
"What?" Ross asked. "Tell me!" he added when Monica didn't answer.
Monica took a deep breath and told him about the phone call.
"That's it. I'm coming over there right now."
"No. Just stay there, Ross. You're right over in the next building, you can get here fast enough if we needed you. And Joey and Rachel are right across the hall."
"Fine," Ross said, "But you call me if you need anything." Monica agreed. "I love you Mon. Be careful."
"I love you too, Ross." Monica hung up.
She looked over at Chandler and smiled at him. "Well, the caller did say that tonight would be our last night together. . . so I assume that means that he won't be trying anything tonight. And I'm wiped out. . . but. . . I can't believe I'm thinking about this at a time like this, but I am ovulating right now, and I want to keep trying," she blurted out.
Chandler smiled and reached out to hug her. "Of course. Lead the way, my dear," he said, and Monica took his hand and pulled him into the bedroom.
****************
The next morning, Monica and Chandler woke up in each other's arms. Monica wasn't calm anymore, though. From what the caller had said the night before, today was the day he planned to kill them.
Both Chandler and Monica had called in, both claiming family emergency, not wanting to be away from each other at a time like this.
Around 9 a.m., Monica pulled herself out of bed She walked out of the bedroom and felt assaulted by the sight of her still trashed apartment, although it looked the same as when she and Chandler had gone to bed the night before. She wished they'd gone and stayed at a hotel.
The phone rang, and Monica froze. She didn't want to answer it, but it was like seeing a horrible car accident. You didn't want to look, but you couldn't help it. She picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Did you enjoy last night, Monica?" the voice rasped in her ear. "I warned you. . . it was your last with your precious Chandler."
Monica whimpered. "Please, leave us alone," she begged. Chandler, awakened by the phone, came out of the bedroom and walked over to her. Seeing the terrified look on her face, he grabbed the phone out of her hand. "Who the hell is this?" he shouted into the phone.
The voice cackled. "You know me, Chandler. I'm hurt that you've already forgotten me. Just another reason to get rid of you and your insipid wife."
Chandler's blood boiled as his hand gripped the phone receiver so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "You listen to me," he hissed into the phone. "Leave me, and my wife, ALONE. I have had it with you. This isn't funny."
"It's not supposed to be. It's real."
"No, it's not! You're just trying to fuck with us, to get into our heads and scare us. I don't know who you are or what we've done to upset you, but you've gotten your revenge. Now leave us alone," Chandler snapped.
"My revenge is most certainly not complete. It's just a matter of time now, Chandler. Tick-tock, tick-tock. . ." The voice laughed hysterically and then hung up.
Monica burst into tears as Chandler hung up the phone. "I don't know what to do, Chandler, I don't know. . ." Chandler wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "Don't worry, sweetheart. I promise, nothing is going to happen to us. I won't let it." But for the first time, he wondered. what if this psycho was really serious about his threats?
