Love | Tara Carpenter

09. Calls

══════════•°•🔪💋🔪•°•═════════

Skylar was sitting in the back of the van with Chad, Mindy, Ethan and Kirby as Sam and Tara walk around the park waiting for ghostface to call. Skylar tried to go with them but Tara made her stay.

"So we're really doing the phone thing that never works in the movies. I'll be all, Keep him talking Sam. Two more minutes, I've almost got him. And then he hangs up just before we can get a lock" Mindy says, smirking as she leans back, Chad chuckling at her words.

"I can trace a call in under 15 seconds" Kirby tells her making her smirk drop and her eyebrows to raise in surprise.

"Well, you've got them out there as bait" Mindy fake smiles as she sits up.

"Because the killers usually calls from somewhere nearby" Kirby responds.

"And you think you're safe because it's broad daylight in a public place?"

"Look, I am here, okay? And so is Bailey"

"This is exactly how our uncle Randy died. Broad daylight. Public place. Yanked into a van. Stab, stab, stab. No more Randy" Mindy tells her making Skylar's worry even more.

"Huh" Kirby says in thought and Ethan offers Chad some cheetos making him look at him annoyed so Ethan takes his chips back and offers some to Skylar who gladly takes some causing Chad to give her an 'really' look.

"You do know that he accused you of being the killer right?" Chad tells her with frowned eyebrows.

Skylar shrugs. "The whole world thinks I'm a killer, one more person doesn't matter...plus cheetos are my favorite" Skylar responds as she stuffs the cheetos in her mouth.

"Hey, Sam? Stay frosty out there, okay?" Kirby says over the com's.

After about 5 minutes waiting for a call, nothing happens yet and Skylar mouth begins to get dry from not drinking anything.

"I'm gonna go get something to drink, want anything?" Skylar tells them as she stands up and goes to the door.

"Ooo yes, get me a frappuccino. I'm dying of thirst" Mindy tells her dramatically making her chuckle.

"You got it" Skylar tells her before existing the van. She sees a coffee shop across the street and heads over to it.

"Hello there, what can i get started for you today?" The barista kindly asks.

"Hi, can I get two vanilla bean frappe's" Skylar tells her.

"Of course, that would be 10.50" The barista says and Skylar pays them. "Should be ready soon" They say making Skylar nod.

Skylar then gets a phone call and when she sees the name her heart stops. It was Amber or well Amber's phone. Skylar stares at it until it goes to voicemail but it then rings again and she answers it as she goes outside.

"Hello" Skylar breathes out.

"Hello, Skylar" Ghostface says on the other line causing Skylar to swallow harshly as her heart rate goes up.

"What the fuck do you want" Skylar asks as she anxiously looks around.

"Nothing really, I just wanted to chat with you. Is that so bad?" Ghostface asks.

"Fuck you" Skylar grits out.

"Maybe later" Ghostface chuckles and Skylar pulls an disgusted face.

"I'm hanging up asshole" Skylar says irritated as she was about to hang up the phone.

"How's your mother, Skylar?" Ghostface asks making her freeze.
