"OK, so let's say it's Dylan. What are ya gonna do about it?" said Tony. "Based on what'cha said about him and the funeral home, the Onyxsards' will probably help him out again."
Aidan shook her head. "Maybe, but we could make that hit man confess to what he said."
"That is if Dylan hasn't already butted in, and guessin' as the hit man got a phone call, I bet dinner on it that he has. So, we need another plan, and fast before the guy comes and tries to kill ya again."
"OK, I just try and get a holograph huh? He hasn't touched anything here," she said sarcastically as she picked up the phone, dialing Dylan's number.
"Hello?" said Dylan.
"Hey Dylan, this is Aidan," she said.
"Aidan, how are you?" said Dylan, as he turned on his call tracer. He hoped he would have enough time to trace the call.
Aidan paused, thinking. "Ade, you all right? What's going on?" said Dylan, feigning concern.
Aidan snapped out of her trance and continued. "Sorry, I was wondering if you were going to come over for dinner?"
"Sure, I'd be glad to come. You over at your place, because I wanted to see that rag wreath you have on your door."
The young woman cringed, but continued. "Not yet, but will be in about an hour. See you then?"
"Yeah Aidan. Oh, can you make that crab meat and mushroom bake you were talking about?"
"Sure, I had planned that today, just needed some time to make the horseradish sauce.'
"Sounds terrific," said Dylan as he looked at his trace again. "Well, see you then. Bye."
Hearing the phone click, Aidan frowned. "What's wrong?" said Tony.
"He's knows where I live. I put a rag wreath on my door yesterday, but didn't mention it to anyone," she said.
Tony frowned. "So that means he's probably on his way over here."
"Yeah, I think he's going to try and just kill me himself."
--------------------------------------------------
Dylan smirked as he saw where the phone call was from. It had been from Ralph and Pam's house, and he was only a few blocks away. He made the turn and hoped that he'd not be too late to kill Aidan…
--------------------------------------------------
Ralph and Pam frowned. "So, what are you going to do?"
"She ain't doin' nuthin' without me," said Tony.
"OK, so what's the plan?" said Aidan.
"You go and fly around and see if ya spot this bum and we'll nab him."
"The usual huh? OK, let's go before he tries here. Don't want Pam and Ralph hurt," she said as she headed outside to find a good takeoff spot before changing into the suit. There had been new power lines added the day before and she didn't want to hit them. …
------------------------------------------------
Dylan had turned the corner and saw Aidan walk out the door and was in the yard near the road looking around for some reason. "Perfect," he said as he accelerated toward the woman.
Tony was just outside when he heard the red four-door speed down the road right at Aidan. "Cub watch out," he shouted.
Aidan turned and saw the car, but was a moment too late as the car hit her, knocking her off balance and tossing her in the air. She rolled onto the hood and hit the passenger side of the car, breaking off the antenna and scattering glass in a few places. As Aidan rolled off the car, landing in a crumpled, and motionless, heap on the ground, the car continued to speed off down its path.
"Son of a … Mr. H, Mrs. H, come out here quick," shouted Tony and the two came out the door, gasping at what they found….
--------------------------------------------------
Dylan sped off down the road, looking back at the chaos he created. Aidan hadn't gotten up and Tony was rushing over to her side, so he knew for sure she was seriously wounded this time. He knew all he'd have to do is call Ralph and Pam, feigning concern, and see if he could get invited to the hospital. Then, it was wait until she dies, then he could carry out his plan to get his part of Aidan's inheritance, and quite possibly Ralph and Pam's.
