Chapter 6: Why Me?

Renee

After Jamie had knocked down the front door, I let out a piercing scream for Natalia to hear; hoping she would come in time to save me from Satan.

Jamie stumbled to where I was standing and I could tell that he was drunk as hell. I was just too shocked to move. When I snapped out of it, I ran about the house, like a headless chicken, trying to get away from him.

He ran after me, making the entire house tremble with each step he took.

My heart was beating so fast and hard, I thought it was going to pop right out of my chest.

I turned the corner and ran into the guest room. I was mentally thanking Ryan for picking a dark comforter set for this room; it definitely comes in handy.

I yanked the burgundy sheet off the foot of the bed and wrapped it around me (head to toe) as I slid under the bed. I made sure the sheet was completely under the bed and close to my body.

My breath was going one hundred miles per hour until I heard his footsteps. I covered my mouth with my hand and I slowed my breath down so much; a turtle could run a mile before I exhaled every bit of air from my lungs.

I heard his footsteps stop and I stopped breathing all together until he started to move again.

I felt relived when I heard him walk out into the hallway again.

As I laid there waiting for something interesting to happen, mother came to mind. I began to shed tears involuntarily.

Then her face changed to Ryan. I then remembered the hidden gun in the kitchen Ryan showed me when I first came here to live with him.

I knew the floor plan of the house well enough, whenever I heard footsteps, I would be able to know where they were coming from.

I opened my ears and cleared my mind of all thoughts so I could clearly guess where Jamie was. The house was completely quiet except for my racing heartbeat and irregular breathing.

I then heard a set of soft footsteps which sounded like they were coming from the kitchen. A woman's voice shortly followed them.

"Where is the little bratty bitch, Jamie?" she asked in a crab ass tone.

"I'm not sure. I have looked everywhere in this house. Top and bottom." Jamie slurred and stuttered.

"Find her."

"Yes, Justine."

She walked out with a pissed sound to her stride. Jamie's footsteps picked up again and once again walked into the room I was in.

"Please don't find me. Please don't find me. Please don't find me." I was saying mentally over and over again.

When his footsteps dissipated, I slid out from underneath the bed on the side opposite of the door and ran on my tip toes into the kitchen. I opened the drawer next to the refrigerator and pulled out the gun.

I heard his coming towards me and I evilly smiled to myself.

"Take another step towards me and I will shoot you." I said.

"You wouldn't." he answered.

"I have been wanting to for years."

"What is it like living with CSI Ryan Wolfe?"

"Why do you all of a sudden care about me?"

"I always have, Renee."

"Pst! Why did you abuse mom, my other siblings and me for nearly ten years? How could you beat up a five year old girl? What was going threw your mind then? If mom and I didn't leave when we did, would you have continued to abuse us?"

He pulled out his own gun and pointed it at me.

"Wait. How did you know Ryan's name?" I asked curiously.

"I knew Ryanna had a twin way before he even knew."

"How?"

"I did a background search and found out Ryan and Ryanna were separated after their mother was released out of the hospital."

This confused me because I did a background search on mom when I found out she was adopted and I didn't find anything.

I saw Jamie was in a sort of daze and took advantage of this moment. I shot him in the leg and ran so he would not be able to shoot back at me.

I grabbed my cell phone and ran out the door. As I was running, I was deciding which CSI to call.

I stopped running when I got to a gas station. There. I took out my cell phone and dialed Natalia's number.

"Boa Vista."

"It's Renee."

"Renee, where are you?"

I could hear the nervousness in her voice.

"Close to the lab."

"Where's Jamie?"

"At Ryan's. I shot him in the leg so where ever he goes; he will leave a trail of blood until he covers it and stops the blood flow."

"Ryan taught you well."

"Actually, Calleigh taught me that."

"How far are you from the lab?"

"Well, I am at the Shell gas station right now."

"Okay. I am coming to pick you up there. Just go into the gas station and stay there."

"Will do."

Jamie

The CSI's have taught Renee too much for her own good.

I stood up and walked out of the stupid Ryan Wolfe's home and drove off.

I drove and drove until the pain in my leg grew to the point where I could no longer handle it. I then drove to a hospital and they cured my leg for me.

I headed back towards Miami to come after her once again. Hopefully, I will actually be able to kidnap her this time.

Then she will get what she deserves.
