Chapter 5
After just a few minutes they were both downstairs, ready to go out. Diane had fixed her face with some make up, but her eyes were still puffy. They entered the living room where Will was talking with Alicia on the phone.
"No, no just talk to the judge. He'll understand." Will said to Alicia, and then hung up.
Will turned and realized Diane and Kurt were there. Her eyes were puffy and shinny, but she flashed him a small smile. Kurt had his arm wrapped around her waist, and she was leaning on to him. Will smiled at this, Kurt made Diane happy. He got closer to them and looked at Kurt. He understood what he wanted and let go off Diane's waist. She turned her head to look at him but had no time to protest. Will gave her a gentle hug, and though she was surprised, she hugged him back. He let her go and smiled at her.
"So… Let's go shopping! I'm starving!" Will said in a playful tone.
"Okay, okay… Don't get all childish Will." Diane said with a small laugh.
They got out of the house and Diane didn't want to leave Justice alone, so they took him with them. They got into Kurt's truck and reached the supermarket in fifteen minutes.
"So… Is it always this calm here?" Will asked. He couldn't imagine that this town was so calm the whole year.
"Yeah, almost all the time. It gets a little crazy around summer, because a lot of families like to come here for a relaxing vacation." Kurt answered.
"I really like it here. It's so different from Chicago." Diane said. She really enjoyed the weekends she passed with Kurt at his farm.
They went up and down the alleys and got everything they needed, plus some things Diane wanted. They were walking towards Kurt's truck when Will's phone started ringing.
"Hello?" He said.
"Good afternoon Will, it's detective Summers." Said the man at the other end of the line.
"Oh, good afternoon Detective." Said Will.
"We've traced Guerrero to a farm that belongs to a Mr. McVeight. Luckily we got there before he could enter the house and he is now under our custody. Where is Ms. Lockhart?" Detective Summers said.
"She is with me. We were staying at Kurt McVeight's house, but we went out to buy some things." Will answered.
"Well, it was very close, but thank God nothing happened. I'll wait here until you arrive." Summers said.
"Okay, see you in ten minutes." Will said and hung up.
Diane and Kurt heard only what Will said, and were very anxious to know what detective Summers had told him. Diane was nervous, and Kurt held her hand tightly to try to calm her. Will looked at them and told them what had happened. He watched color drain from Diane's face, and Kurt just take a deep breath. He took a step closer to Diane and hugged her lightly. She smiled at him a little, feeling calmer. Kurt took her hand and guided them towards his truck. They drove in silence and reached Kurt's house quickly. It was surrounded by police cars, even though everything seemed calm now. They got out of the car, Dine holding Justice and Kurt with an arm around her. Detective Summers came immediately towards them.
"Good afternoon." He said to the three of them. "I'm happy to inform you Guerrero is on his way to a maximum security prison, and won't be released for the next fifty years. The judge decided to readjust the jail time due to how dangerous he is, so he will be able to get out by the time he is 112 years. I would like to search your farm, Mr. McVeight, for any possible threats. Just to be sure everything is okay." He said.
"Yeah, sure. Thank you detective Summers." Kurt said.
The detective started giving orders and the police officers followed him into the house. Meanwhile, Will, Kurt and Diane stayed close to the truck and waited. Will had taken Justice from Diane's arms, and Kurt was hugging her lightly. She suddenly felt very tired, the lack of sleep and stress had taken its toll on her. All she wanted was to put on her pajamas and crawl into Kurt's bed. It was finally over, she wouldn't have to worry about Guerrero for a long time. She turned her head to look into Kurt's eyes, and couldn't help but smile. She was happy. She had a man who she loved and that loved her back, a best friend she could always rely on and a dog that loved her.
Sorry that this chapter took so long and is kinda short. Should I keep writing this? Maybe Guerrero escaping from prison, or a happy life for Will, Kurt and Diane? PLEASE REVIEW!
Thanks for reading!
