After the latest break in, the police noticed a pattern. So the station had squad cars on the street 24/7.
***
I was sitting there watching something not near as good as Benji when someone knocked. I knew it was Noel because she said she was coming over.
I stopped the horrible movie I was watching and went to answer the door. "Hey, come on in." I answered the door tiredly.
"What's got you falling on your face today?" Noel asked.
"It's been a long week," I sighed.
"Are squad cars still out there?"
"Yeah, 24/7" I replied.
"Well it's a good thing. What if this freak tries to kidnap you or something worse?"
"Yeah, it's probably for the best." I sighed again.
"What are you watching?"
"Oh some poorly put together cartoon." Noel nodded and moved on.
"Where's Penny?" She asked.
"She's hanging out with a friend." I replied.
"Josh?" "At work." Sighing we both lost the conversation.
"Any news?" I asked.
"Nope, Yulu is no where to be found. You?"
She replied while asking another question.
"The picture Penny took isn't doing much. The guy had a mask on and all you could see was his back." I groaned.
"So any suspects?"
"What? No," I replied.
"Come on there's got to be someone!"
"No! There's no one!"
(BUZZ) "It's Mark,"
Mark: still up 4 2-day?
You: Yeah, 2?
Mark: sounds good.
You: bye.
Mark: bye.
"What did he say?" Noel asked.
"He was just making sure I was still up for our date this afternoon." I replied coolly.
"What do you mean "this afternoon"?
"What time is it?!" I asked panicked.
"1:30" She replied.
"Crap! I have to go!"
"Uh, ok..." she said disappointed.
I grabbed my purse and keys. "Remember to lock up!" I yelled to her before shutting the door.
***
I drove so fast I actually ended up getting there early. He sent me directions so I knew where to go. I walked in and it's this adorable little café.
I sat down at a table and waited.
Mark: On my way.
You: Ok, I'm waiting.
"What would you like?" The waitress asked.
"Oh just coffee, Black." She walked away after jotting down my order and Mark walked in.
I stood up and hugged him, "What are you doing here already? I thought we were meeting at two,"
"Well I thought I was going to be late so I rushed over here and ended up being early. What's your excuse?"
"I was so excited, and I didn't want to make you wait." He replied smiling cutely.
"Ah, so sweet. "I said while slightly blushing.
"Here's your black," the waitress said walking over.
"Oh, thank you." I said sitting down with Mark.
"And you sir?"
"Just a water," Mark replied to the waitress.
"So how is it going with the new team?"
"Good," He replied, "They're all really nice."
"Good," I smiled.
"Here's your water," She said putting it down. "Do you want anything else?"
"Two bagels, please...
"For me too," I interrupted.
***
The date went well, and I was heading home. "I'm home!" I yelled walking in the door setting my keys down on the table.
"Penny?!" I yelled worried. My heart practically begging to come out of my chest. "You home?!" I set down my purse and walked slowly down the hallway.
"Penny?!" I walked to her room and put my hand on her door.
The door slammed open suddenly, "Ahhhhhhhh!!" I screamed.
"Oh my gosh, what is up with you?!" Penny yelled walking out of her room with blankets.
"Why didn't you answer me?!" I screamed.
"I didn't hear you," She sighed.
"What's with the blanket's?" I asked while taking a deep breath.
"Oh It's movie night in town square, and we're going!"
"Fine, what movie?"
"IT!"
"Seriously?!" I groaned.
"Yep."
"You know I HATE horror movies," I sighed.
"Too bad," She exclaimed.
"Where's Josh?"
"He's on his way home,"
"Okay, I'm going to go get a blanket,"
"Okay," She replied walking into the living room.
I went to my room and grabbed a blanket, "Okay got it," I sighed walking into the living room.
"Okay let's go,"
"What about Josh?"
"Josh said he'd meet us there, come on."
***
We drove up to town square and found a spot in the grass.
"I'm here!" Josh yelled walking up. He sat down and the movie started, Then they started cuddling and acting all lovey dovey. Talk about awkward.
I would have called Mark but
we already had a date today and I didn't want to seem clingy.
We had just reached the middle of the movie when we heard a gun fire.
[BANG]
Everyone started screaming and panicking, as the second one went off.
[BANG]
We stood up hurriedly and tried our best to make out of the scene alive. Then the third shot sounded
[BANG]
Everything froze as this shot did not go without claiming a victim. It had hit Penny.
Letting out a big scream, she dropped to the ground. The shots stopped, and so did time. I looked at her in shock and my eyes started swelling with tears at the sight of my friend on the ground.
