“Never Liv,” Will stated. “If you can’t tell the police then you’ll simply have to go out of town on business for a week or so while we figure something out.”
“It won’t work. I’m trapped and I’ll deal with it, justpleaselet it go,” she begged.
“No Livy,” Jess said siding with Will.
“I can’t lose you all…not after everything that’s happened.”
Chapter 7
“Livy, we know you want to protect us…who’s that?” Jess asked as the doorbell rang.
“If it’s Scott I’m going to punch first then call the police,” Dan warned heading for the door.
“Dan who is it?” their mother questioned a few moments later when he didn’t reappear.
“It’s some people to see Liv,” he answered hitting the entryway and stepping aside.
“Teri…Jake? What are you doing here?” she asked before seeing the other officers behind them.
“Olivia, do you know where Scott is?” Jake asked as Teri walked over to her.
“No, he left the house a few hours ago said there was a suspect in the next town over he needed to talk to about a case why?” she asked seeing the knowledge in his eyes.
“You might want to sit down for this,” Teri said gently.
“For what?” she questioned refusing to move.
“Up until two years ago there’d been a series of murders that no one could solve,” Jake told her. “Then two years ago they stopped, not a sign from the killer.”
“And what does this have to do with me?”
“These are what it has to do with you,” he stated handing her a stack of photos.
“These girls…are the victims?” she asked feeling sick at the resemblance of them to her.
“They are, and we need your help getting him to admit it Olivia.”
“Hold on what?” Jess said as the others looked on in confusion.
“Scott killed them,” Olivia stated taking a deep breath hating the idea of it.
“Stopping two years ago when he made homicide and…” Jake let the rest trail off, but she knew exactly what he meant.
“And started torturing me. How long had he been…” She stopped, unable to say the words. Even knowing how despicable he was, she still couldn’t say the words.
“Three years at least, the first body was found in…”
“December?” she guessed when he glanced back at the file.
“How did you know?” he questioned as she fell down onto the couch, unable to breathe with the pain flooding her.
“Because that’s when we met, at the end of November three years before he left undercover; these girls are dead because of me.”
“Not because of you Olivia,” Teri said gently. “He did this, not you.”
“He took it out on them until he could get to me.”
“It fits,” Jake stated, the look on his face apologetic and it was just too much.
