from me.
I've got plans for it.
With a yawn, I get up from the cheap old fashioned desk chair provided
for each dorm room in the new building I've been relegated to since the
Havers fire. Wofford Hall is nicer than Havers ever was—I even have my
own bathroom—but the noise level is ... much louder. I wince as a feminine
shriek from the hallway filters in through the crack beneath my door.
While Havers had been program and scholarship students only, which
meant stricter regulations, more studying, and less partying, Wofford is full
of all of the people I didn't care to be around. The rich kids and even worse, a
few of my clients.
I grab my phone as I head for the bed. The second my ass hits the
mattress, I crawl beneath the covers and flip the phone over, opening the
screen. I scan the messages from my clients—Jake and a few others. Even
Luc Kincaid, himself, has a job for me. I type out a few messages, accept a
few offers, and give a general turnaround time for the easier sounding ones.
As long as they don't interfere with trying to track down this Micki chick, I'll
be okay.
Once I'm done scanning through those, I finally find the last message—
the one that interrupted me. Only it's not a message at all ... it's an email from
Grover, Massachusetts Correctional Facility.
The parole hearing results are in. The screen in front of me goes blurry as
I read the verdict. My heart nearly stops in my chest, old fear encasing me.
Sweat drips down my spine. Ice slides beneath my skin.
Daniel Dickerson is out.
My stomach drops out from beneath me and an old panic that I thought
I’d managed to gain control of rears its ugly head. I can't breathe. It's as if all
of the oxygen in the room has vanished and I'm left in a wasteland of empty
nothingness. My thoughts begin to collide. A small child's scream in the back
of my mind takes over.
I have to run.
I have to hide.
I have to make sure he can't find me.
I have to make sure that evil, wicked boy—now, thirteen years later, a
man—never finds me.
Unlike some people who have to wait weeks to get the information on
whether an inmate is being released or not, I had set an alarm to go off as
soon as this information uploaded to the national database. I have time, I
know, but it already feels like it's too short.
I know what he'll do the second those doors open. The second he's really
and truly out, I know … he’ll want nothing more than to take his revenge on
the girl who got him locked up in the first place.
