Current Location: Amelia's diner It was now after one a.m. and we were about thirty minutes away from my cabin. It was a small diner that was open twenty four hours a day seven days a week. Upon entering you could see that this was the go to joint for people to sober up after a long night of drinking. I spotted Big Teddy in a booth in the back corner of the diner. I proceeded over to him, and sat down cautiously across from him. Kyle, Tony, and Mac were all outside watching to make sure not happened to me. I had that sense of deja vu. I really hoped by the end of this meeting I would not end up in the trunk of a car. I shivered at the thought of it. "Thank you for meeting me here at such a later hour Emma. I know that it must be quite the inconvenience, and you probably have a lot of questions. Let me explain why I tracked you down. I am simply looking for April White, your mother." Big Teddy said casually as he took a sip of his coffee. "What does that have to do with me? If you ar

Current Location: The Shed behind my cabin with Shane I had just filled Shane and Kyle in on what my mother told me about Ruby. Shane had murder in his eyes. “What the fuck was Ruby thinking?” Why would she go after my mother she was innocent and never did anything to Ruby to call for this!” I grabbed Shane’s hand. “I am assuming she wanted to hurt you and she knew if she went after Pearl, it would hurt you immensely. Do not worry Shane she will not get away with this. Look we will deal with her soon. In fact, the main reason I am going to have dinner with Big Teddy is to strategize what to do with Ruby. I figured he is a big time criminal, and he can get away with the things we cannot.” Shane and I finished up our conversation than went back inside to say goodbye to the kids. Afterwards we headed to meet Big Teddy to discuss Ruby. I knew this was going to be an intense meeting seeing as Shane was Big Teddys son and they never met before. We pulled up to the restaurant, proceeded i

Current Location: Outside of Ruby’s house After Ruby hung up on me, I ran frantically into the house. Kyle saw the alarmed look on my face. “Ms. Emma what is the matter?” I stopped in front of him and took a minute to catch my breath. “Ruby just called. She is on her way back here we have maybe ten fifteen minutes to finish planting the snakes and spiders before high tailing it out of here.” Kyle gave me a hard serious face before turning to one of his men and saying, “Go tell everyone to get the job done now we need to clear out of here. I want the job done in no more than five minutes or we are going to have a serious problem got it!” The man quickly went to inform the others while Kyle and I headed back outside.“Kyle as soon as they get all the cages in the van drive it far enough away that you cannot see it from the house. Then you can walk back to my car, and we can watch the show!” Kyle grinned and said “No can do it will be you coming to the van. First off Ruby may recognize

Current Location: The hallway of the cabinEverything started moving super-fast and extremely slow at the same time. We all stealthily moved to the hallway where there were no windows. Kyle pulling Macs body along with us. It was a pointless effort though, anyone with eyes could see Mac was dead and there was no saving him. After we all took Shelter in the hallway Kyle slowly located the window the arrow came through. It turned out it was from the kitchen window, and with that line of site only Mac would have been visible. I quickly called Shane so I could warn him about what just happened and to keep the children away.Shane luckily was visiting his mother’s sister so he would not be back until around seven p.m. I did not tell him what had happened because I did not want to worry him prematurely. If he found out now, he would drop everything, and rush home and I wanted to make sure whoever was out there was dealt with first. I was startled by a knock at the front door and a man start
