"Aww… now you've done it!" Derek shouted. "I am going to have to suspend your cell phone privileges!" in one swift motion he snatched her cell phone and thrown it on the ground, then he stomped it to bits.
He grabbed Mary and roughly pulled her against the wall.
"The police will be here any minute!" Mary shrieked. "Killing me won't help.
Derek sighed. Then pushed Mary over to the door.
"Of course I wouldn't kill you… you may be my ticket out of this…"
He pushed Mary through the door and up a flight of stairs, and into and empty log cabin (with absolutely no furnishings).
As soon as he opened the front door of the cabin, they heard police sirens and in less then a minute, the police were there.
Two police cars, pulled in, and then jerked to a stop.
The sight of the cars made her smile. This was all she had been hoping for the past few days, the police.
Then she was reminded of the man who still held her at gunpoint.
The police practically jumped out of the cars and immediately had their guns aimed at Derek.
"You shoot one bullet and I swear…" Derek yelled, not finishing the threat. But they all knew too well what he meant.
Mary especially. She'd been in this position too much lately. The gun pointed at her head, everyone looking at her sympathetically, helpless.
Mary was tired of this. Mary was tired of this man, she hated him.
Mary was normally quiet, she normally tried to look for good in people. To Mary it was clear, there was no good in this man.
Something inside her snapped. She turned and grabbed his fist with both hands (the one clutching the gun) and tried to pull the gun from his hands.
The gun was fired into the air. Then Derek took his other hand hit Mary on her side, knocking her to the ground.
Within the seconds Mary and Derek had struggled. Two police officers had come up from behind.
They each grabbed one of his arms and knocked the gun to the ground.
They pushed him over to the car, where one handcuffed him and the other read him his rights.
Mary was still sitting on the ground. One other police officer helped her to her feet and drove her to the police station. Derek rode in the car behind them.
They rode in silence.
When they arrived at the police station. Tami, Dustin and Joey were there waiting. Mary hugged Tami in silence.
When Tami finally let her go, Joey held her tight.
Mary had been his prisoner for four days, and every second had felt like an hour. But Derek's arrest had taken place in less then a minute, and every second of it felt like an eternity.
The nightmare was over. It was really over. She couldn't believe it.
She though should be happy, or sad because of what she want through. She should feel overjoyed from being with her friends again, or she should feel sorry for herself.
She didn't know what to feel. But she felt she should feel something,. She didn't. She was like a statue sitting in a garden, through the wind an the rain she just stands still, through the thunder and lightning, and what people considered a tragedy, she was cold and numb.

I know this chapter is short (that's my writing style) and sucked. I know Mary was out of character. But it's will make sense later.
