Chapter 15
Kate's POV
After school the Geckos still weren't home, a conversation which was a major discussion in our family dinner
"I heard they're on the run from the law because that whack job Richie killed someone" Scott talked enthusiastically, his eyes practically glittering with excitement
"Scott" dad gave him a piercing stare "we don't know anything yet"
I do, I wanted to shout
"Where's momma dad?" wanting to get over the conversation I looked to dad who seemed to go stone cold
"Your momma has another migraine, if it gets worse I'll take her to the doctor"
Nodding, I played with my food I jumped when I heard a car door slam outside
They're back!
Jumping to my feet I rushed to the window
"Kate, eat your dinner" dad scolded me but I couldn't care I saw Richie and Vanessa but no Seth. Where was he? Had he been arrested? Richie and Vanessa were arguing, Vanessa arms were waving all over the place they stoppe police cruiser appeared behind them Seth got out and slammed the door
Thank god
I felt a weight ease of my chest
Rushing out I raced to Richie, unfortunately I couldn't go to Seth seeing as Vanessa was there. I wanted as the police cruiser left and then ran over to Richie. His eyes caught mine and he moved forward until we met in the middle.
I would have laughed how cliché this was if I wasn't so relived they were safe.
"Hey its ok" kissing my forehead he held me tight "You're shaking"
Was I?
"Are you ok" closing my eyes I hugged him tighter, he smelled of cologne and cigarettes I felt safe in his arms, they were in a vice grip around me, he wasn't letting me go. My head was tucked underneath his chin I wanted to stay there
"I'm ok"
"Kate Mary Fuller you get here right now!"
No please dad no
"Katherine now!"
God I hated my full name, parting with difficulty from Richie I whispered in his ear "the bag is in my room" he stiffened "you have some explaining to do"
I walked back over to my dad who was fuming.
Richie POV
When Kate disappeared into her house I grinned
No wonder they didn't arrest us
"What the hell" bitch queen hissed "are they dating?"
"Nessa just get inside, we've already given the neighbours a show"
I heard them argue a little more but I didn't give a shit I just went straight into my room
(+)(+)(+)(+)
Night
Kate's POV
I managed to convince my dad I wasn't dating Richie, he'd never let me leave the house otherwise
I looked over to my wardrobe, I felt so guilty I jumped at every sound as if the police will come into my house and find the bag. I kept on reminding myself they had no reason to come here.
A knock to my window made me jump I opened my curtains and saw Richie there, opening the window I helped him in.
"Hey"
He grinned and leaned in and kissed my lips.
Seth's POV
Looking over at Kate's house I saw my brother climbing through the window, damn I wanted to see her
"Well we have to move on"
I looked to Vanessa, who just came through to the kitchen
"What? No we move now they'll get suspicious"
"Since when has that ever stopped us, if you remember we moved here to avoid the heat in Nebraska"
Shaking my head I gulped my beer
"Look"
"No you look, we were lucky this time ok real damn lucky, if we don't move Seth they're gonna come back here again"
"They won't find anything Nessa"
She laughed "Yeah by the way where has he stashed it"
Richie pulled me to one side and said Kate found the bag, cold chills ran across my body, he just grinned and told me she took it and kept it safe. Jesus that girl just kept on surprising us.
My phone called and I saw the caller id
Prichard
"Hey what's up" rubbing my tired eyes I was alert when he said the next thing
"You still interested in getting back at Big Jim?"
Big Jim was a slimy son of a bitch, he kicked my dad out Princeton so I wanted to get back at the fucker
"Yeah, I do"
