DISCLAIMER: Nope still not mine.
SUMMARY: Tara and Tommy have been out in public and danced together. Some might consider that a successful date. Kim's in a great mood and she's happy to see the two of them together. In fact, she happens to know that Tommy started camping out at Tara's on the couch.
Kimberly walked out to the mailbox. She was still smiling over seeing Tara and Tommy walk into the Cyber café holding hands, even though it had been six days.
Pulling the mail out of the box, she headed back to the house, scanning through the envelopes to see what had come in. Suddenly, she froze, staring at the envelope in her hands. She looked around, fear etched on her face.
She ran into the house, locking the door behind her. She ran through the house making sure that every window and door was locked. After searching the whole house, she closed herself in the closet in Jason's room and huddled in the corner with her knees up to her chest, shaking.
Jason turned the handle on the front door only to find it locked. Frowning at the door, he tried the handle again. Fishing his keys from his pocket, he unlocked the door and walked into the house.
"Kim? Kim, where are you?" Calling repeatedly, Jason walked through the house. "Kim, honey, where are you?"
He felt a sense of near panic rising in his chest. Where was she?
He searched the entire house feeling his fear growing with each room he ruled out. "Kim, please. Where are you?" When silence greeted him yet again, he opened the door to the last room to check, his bedroom. Walking inside, he didn't see Kim. He did notice that the closet door was slightly ajar. "Kim?" he called, not wanting to scare her. "Kim, are you in there?"
He pulled the door open and looked inside to find his girlfriend sitting on the floor of the closet with her arms wrapped around her knees and the mail clutched in her hand. She was staring up at the closet door with fear in her eyes. "Kim? Kim, what happened?"
Without saying a word, she held up the stack of mail in her hand. Jason took it and looked at the paper on the top. The handwriting scrawled across the paper made his blood run cold. 'I see you. I know how to get to you. But will I punish you for betraying me? Or will I get one of your friends to pay the price for you?'
Setting the paper on the dresser, Jason knelt down in front of the woman he loved and held out his hands. "Come here, Firebird." Slowly, Kim crawled out of the closet and walked with him to the bed where he sat down with his back to the headboard. Kim lay down next to him with her head on his chest and her hand clutching his shirt.
Feeling her shake and understanding her fear, Jason pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and punched in Tommy's cell phone number.
"Tommy, are you with Tara right now?"
"Yeah, bro. What's up?"
"Stay with her as much as possible. Kim's stalker is back and he sent her a letter."
"No problem, man. I'll stick with her as much as I can. How's Kim?"
"Shaken. Maybe you could bring Tara by so that Kim could see that she's okay."
"We'll be there in about twenty minutes."
"Good. See you then." Jason hung up. "Kim, let's go out in the living room. Tommy and Tara are coming over. We'll talk about what we can do to keep you both safe and we'll call the police."
Kim nodded and sat up on the bed. "He's going to go after Tara. She's the most vulnerable of all of us."
"We'll keep her safe, Kim. You have to believe that Tommy won't let anything happen to her."
Jason stood up in front of her. Taking her hands, he pulled her into his embrace. After a few moments, the two of them walked out into the living room to wait for Tommy and Tara to arrive.
