The rain fell hard upon the windshield of Sofia's car and a sheet of darkness came over Roseford. They had just picked Tiana up from her house and were on their way to the Roseford police department to tell them that Anna was a stalker and a killer.
"So Anna's definitely A?" Tiana needed some clarity.
"Yes! Did you not see the big red writing on the back of the photo?"Laura yelled. "Why can't you just trust us on this one?"
"I wanna believe it but how could she possibly know the things she knows about us?" Tiana didn't know whether she could just believe what the others were saying.
"That's what I wanna know but Anna's smart and dangerous so maybe we should let the police deal with this!" The weather was affecting Sofia's ability to drive with complete control over the vehicle. "This weather is really annoying."
"You're right." Again, Heidi found herself on Sofia's side.
"Well we're here now anyway." Sofia said as they arrived at the Roseford PD's parking lot.
"All right. Let's do this!" Laura was the first to get out of her car.
"Are you guys sure we're doing the right thing though?" Tiana wanted to make sure that the others knew what they were getting themselves into.
Laura fixed the hood on her jacket. "It's the right thing to do. Abi's family will finally get some closure." When they started walking to the station, Laura saw something move in the bushes on the opposite side of the road. "Did you see that?"
"See what?" Tiana frowned."You're probably just seeing things because of how violently the trees are moving."
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the swaying bushes. Anna stood looking directly at them.
"Just great!" Tiana said loud enough for Anna to here. "How did we not see this one coming?
"I know right." Heidi muttered.
"Aww it's good to see you too!" Anna replied.
"What are you doing here?" Sofia gritted her teeth.
"Wait we know why you're here and who you are Anna!" Heidi said before Anna could reply to Sofia.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Anna snarled at them.
"You can pretend all you like but we've got you figured out." Sofia waved the envelope that contained the picture in the air. They all turned towards the police station.
"I came here to warn you!" Anna's words stopped them in their tracks. "Don't take that in there."
Heidi rolled her eyes. "Why shouldn't we?"
She stepped off the pavement and walked towards the girls. "If I were you, I really wouldn't-"
Everything that happened next occurred extremely fast. "Anna!" Tiana cried. The others shrieked and covered their mouths with their hands. Before they knew it, a large, white van had collided with Anna and she was on the bonnet.
"Oh my god!" Sofia watched as the van gradually came to a halt and Anna rolled off of it and onto the road.
Slowly, the rain stopped. All of the girls' phones bleeped in sync with each other's. They took them out and read their new texts aloud.
Be very careful bitches. I'll be watching and guess what? I'm only just getting started.
