Chapter 10
Reed sits on the floor unable to control his breathing, he hears Mrs. Adams yell for Greg.
Suddenly he feels a hand on his shoulder, and then sees Greg sit in front of him.
" Get me a paper bag, please." He says his voice surprisingly calm, he looks at Reed and says
" Calm down, try, come on… in.. out… in.. out."
He reaches over and unbuttons the top button Reed has buttoned on his shirt exposing rough scars Mrs. Adams gasps.
Reed hears footsteps and then feels a rough paper bag in his hand.
He nods a thank you, then takes it and breathes slowly finally he calms down.
He looks at Greg, and then looks down slightly embarrassed at his fit.
" What happened ?" Greg asks
" Got overwhelmed and-" he answers
" No need to lie." Mrs. Adams cuts him off
" I was a bitch, I jumped to conclusions, I should have asked."
" No I should have told you guys immediately."
" What happened?" Mr. Adams says breaking his silence.
Reed looks at them then explains every thing, his blog, his relationship with Julia, and his kidnapping, how Mrs. Adams's venting brought back some seriously disturbing memories.
After he's finished the rooms silent, even Greg who knew everything was shocked.
" So you and Julia were dating and then you guys became friends."
Reed nods and looks down, trying not to cry.
Suddenly a buzzing noise fills the room.
Reed looks at Greg, curious.
Greg opens his cell phone.
Got a break on the case- Mac
He stands and looks at Reed.
" We got to go, Sorry."
" Nice meeting you." He says standing, he shakes their hands.
They both get in the vehicle and drive for about thirty minutes.
Suddenly there is a loud bang the car swiftly drives off the road.
Then flips several times.
A black figure walks over to the car.
