Chapter 12:

Closer to the Prey

Carrey's Point of View:

Should I tell him about my little secret? About Bonnie and I? About Chris? I suppose

this is sort of my fault. But, should I tell him? About being in the Witness Protection Program and all. Well, I guess I'm not supposed to. Though, he is family. No. You can't! You promised those people you wouldn't, at the risk of being found by Chris! But, he has already found me. So what harm could it be? I know! I'll ask mom's opinion of it.

End Carrey's Point of View

Carrey reached into her purse, pulled out her cell phone, and leaned back in the chair

at the airport. She dialed her mother's number.

"Hello, Carrey"

"Hi, Mom"

"What do you need?"

"Well, I have a question"

"Okay, go on"

"Well, I need your opinion on something. Should I tell Kurt about my little secret, or not?"

"Your not supposed too! You should've been able to answer that yourself! Your not allowed to! If you do, Chris may find you! Or maybe Lucy! And you know what he'll do if he finds Lucy!"

Carrey sighed, knowing that she would have to tell her mother of the letters from Chris soon. So, Carrey told her.

"Oh my gosh! You have to hide! You have to hide now!" yelled her mother, panic in her voice.

"Mom, relax. We're fine!"

"But you may not be soon! You remember, dear, that he is a serial killer"

"Mom, I'm trying to forget that right now!"

"Okay, but just keep safe! And always keep in touch!"

"But what about my question?"

"I don't think you should tell him. I'll talk to you soon. Love you. Bye" and with that, her mother hung up.

Carrey slammed the phone shut. Her mother just had to be panicky, and get her panicky. Though she was right. Chris was a serial killer.

Back in Tipton Hotel, Midnight, Zack and Cody's Suite:

'Come on!' thought Chris, as he carefully picked the lock to Zack and Cody's suite. Finally, he heard the door click, and he quietly opened the door, and crept inside. He flicked a small kitchen light on, and set down a huge bag on the table. He pulled out some imitation parchment paper, and a red ink bottle. He picked up the calligraphy pen, dropped ink into it, and began to write. It was a little difficult, considering that there wasn't much light to write in, but he was sort of in a hurry. The Martins would be back soon.

As soon as Chris finished the letter, he folded it up, and put it in an envelope. He then sealed the envelope with a skull sticker. He flipped the envelope over, wrote something on it, then set it down in the center of the table. He then reached back into his bag, and grabbed a plastic bag. Then he got out a squirt gun. He began to spray the suite. The squirt gun had been filled with blood that had come from a blood drive truck that he had stolen from a local school. He drenched everything in it. The curtains, the counters, the floors. He even soaked the bedroom and bathroom. Everything had been covered in blood. Real blood.

After he had finished, he packed away his squirt gun, and the now empty bags he used to fill his gun. He glanced at his watch. It had taken him a mere 20 minutes. He carefully closed the bag, turned off the light, locked the suite, and snuck out as if nothing had happened.

He rubbed his hands together. He had finished. He couldn't wait for the kill. He knew Kurt wasn't smart enough to figure out who Elizabeth was. 'Oh well' he thought, walking down the hall, and down the back employee only stairs.

Taxi in Boston:

The four Martins crammed into the back of the taxi at the airport. Kurt told him to

take them to the Tipton Hotel, and the taxi began to drive.

Zack's Point of View:

Man, that was a fun vacation. Well, except that we had to leave early. It sucks! I don't get it. Nothing is ever explained to us anymore! They think we're too young! Arg! We are 14! It's not like we're five! Arg! Arg! Arg! I just don't understand it anymore. I think it's time for Cody and I to do some snooping about.

End Zack's Point of View

Cody's Point of View:

That was such a wonderful vacation! I love having Dad and Mom back together! It's so great! We're all one big happy family again!!! But, I still don't understand why we left early. It doesn't make any sense!!!We aren't told anything anymore, and I don't understand why! Arg! Arg! Arg! It's like they think we're too young! We're 14 for goodness sake! It's just so annoying! Arg! I think it's about time for Zack and I to do a little "undercover" work on this.

End Cody's Point of View

The cab suddenly came to a stop out front the Tipton. Zack, Cody, and Carrey grabbed their luggage out of the trunk, while Kurt payed the driver. As soon as all the luggage was out, the driver drove off.

The Martins walked into the Tipton rather sleepily, and carrying their luggage. The man who was on night shift at the front desk was shocked to see the Martins back in so early, but he just shrugged. They all walked to the elevator, climbed in, and headed towards their suite.

Once they reached their suite, Kurt unlocked it, and let everybody in, before shutting the door behind him, and flicking on the main lights. They all froze and dropped their luggage, mouths agape at the sight. Everything had been covered in blood, and there was a note on the table.

Please Review! It only takes a few seconds...and they are like ice cream...and I love ice cream...
