Chapter 4

When Christina woke the next morning up she had a bad headache and her neck did hurt as well. "I'll never sleep on that sofa again" she muttered to herself and went into the kitchen to drink a coffee and have a little breakfast. When she was finished she took a shower and got ready for work. She was about to go out of the house as she heard the doorbell ringing. It was Matt! "Oh…hello? What are you doing here?" asked Christina as she let him into the house. "I wanted to drive you to work, I guess you have heard what happened yesterday in the Memorial Park. The Park is next to the lab and I just couldn't let you go on your own. That creep could still be there…" explained Matt. "Aw! Come on! I don't think something will happen to me! And you know that I'm good in Karate!" answered Christina. "You never know! I'm worried about you. And if we don't drive in a few we'll be late" said Matt and looked pleading at Christina. "Okay" she shrugged and locked the door as they went to his car. They drove to the lab and both spent the day as usually at the lab. At 5pm came Matt to her desk and wanted to tell her something.

"What's wrong?" asked Christina as she noticed him.

"I have to go now, dinner with family and such…" he started.

"Oh have fun" said Christina and read the result of the analysis she just made.

"You won't stay till late at night here? Okay?"

"I'm not sure, this looks like a lot of work…I wanted to finish that today"

"Please, promise it"

"I'll try, but I can't promise anything" answered Christina and looked at him. He was really disappointed. "Okay, but if something happens you call me, right?" he asked. "Will do! Have fun at your party" she said and watched how he went away to continue with her work.

Once again the time flew away and Christina found herself at 11pm finished with her work. Shrugging she collected her stuff and went home, she was very careful and noticed every slightest sound. This time she avoided the park and went a longer way, to be safer. Suddenly she saw a tall dark figure standing in front of her. It was a man with brown hair, she couldn't really make out his face but he was coming closer to her. Alarmed got Christina ready to fight and went also backwards. All of a sudden jumped the man towards her and stood in front of her but he hesitated and then realized Christina who it has been.
