Sorry it's been such a long wait! I'm still recovering from that KO I took in a
soccer game and I'm a little stressed about my grades. Progress reports are next week! It's so soon! I may take a hiatus if my grades truly suck, but I'll inform you if I do. This chapter is just short and comforting, my brain can't do much….

"The breaking news tonight, an old serial killer has returned to the scene of the crime. Leonard Briggs, 40, believed to have brutally tortured and murdered nine teenage girls in Seaford back in the 90's. He was arrested and brought to trial, but lack of evidence let him go free. Three new victims have been discovered, all bearing the same signs of torture and death, all dead within this year.
All of these girls were blonde and between the ages of 14 and 18….
JACK POV
I was stunned. My dad had told me about this perverted psycho, but I thought Briggs was gone, for good. My dad is the head of the Seaford police department. He tries not to talk about his work at home, yet I always hear it. But now, I was sitting in pure terror. Female, blonde, ages 14-18. And here I was, holding a girl who fit that exact description…..
KIM POV
No, no, he can't be back!
I can remember how scared my older sisters were last time, even though I was so little. And.. then… no I'm not going to think about that. I started shaking. I felt a pair of strong, warm arms around me, pulling me close to their owner.
Then twelve faces flashed up on the screen, and one of them was….
I turned away from the TV and buried my face between the back of the chair and Jack.
I can't be brave today…. I just can't…. Jack, I'm so scared….
Jerry POV
No, not this freak again. I thought we had seen the last of him. I thought about my older brother Carlos. Poor guy. Lost his girlfriend to this bastard. Her picture flashed up on the
screen. She was so beautiful and fun, I remembered she babysat me a lot. When we found out, I didn't understand, but my brother was a wreck. Court didn't have enough
evidence, but we know Briggs did it. Carlos almost went
after the guy, but they sent Briggs away for safety. And now he's back.
Dios mío… Grace!
Grace is my girl. Definitely not blonde, but I'm not taking any chances. I'm making sure
she's safe. I got up and looked around. Jack's face was a mix of fear and wanting to
punch the crap outta something. I knew who he was scared for.
Keep her safe, Jack, for all of us…..
EDDIE POV
I've heard stories about this creep, but I thought that it was kind of a urban legend. Something that happened on cop shows, but never in real life. I looked over. Kim was more terrified than I had ever seen her, and Jack was hugging her like he would never let go. I decided to leave with Jerry and tell Milton. It wouldn't be good to wander the streets at night….
JACK POV
I saw Jerry and Eddie leave. I glanced back at the screen. Twelve girls, all violently killed. I looked closer at one in particular. She- no, just a coincidence. It had to be. I looked Kim, who was clearly frightened. I whispered softly, but commandingly, "You're staying with me tonight."

I would write more, but it's getting late and my brain hurts!
I wanted to give Jerry a little more character in this. Imagine what he and Jack
are feeling! Not to mention Kim! Read and review! 10 more reviews and I'll post the next chap by Sat. Night!
PS. If you haven't seen it already…. There's a Hit the Road Jack clip on Youtube. It had me fangirling for at least half an hour!
PPS There's a subtle movie quote in here. I wrote it subconsciously before I realized it. Can you find it? Shout out for the first to get it!
