Ding Dong!! Is She Dead? by Alathia Morgan Read Free Book Online

She hadn’t closed the blinds yet, so she took care of that now. Hoping that she had just imagined the person, she went to the kitchen window to look out over the parking lot to make certain what she had been seeing.
    Allie thought she saw Mike walking back to his car, but since it was dark out there was no way to know for sure. Since, whoever it was appeared to be leaving Allied decided that there was no point in calling the police.
    Just to be extra cautious, Allie went ahead and locked the dead bolt and chain. She put a chair under the door knob so that she would hear if someone tried to get in. Gathering her shoes, keys and wallet, she put them altogether in her backpack so that if something happened she wouldn’t be searching all over for what they would need to leave with. She also packed Sally’s backpack so she would have a set of clothes and shoes in case they had to run out in an emergency.
    Hoping that these extra security precautions would be enough, she went back to work. She had to put her orders in the computer so that it would be finished in case something else came up in the next few days. She had just submitted it an hour later when she heard scratches at the front door. Quickly getting up she looked out the peephole and saw Sally’s dad, Mike, standing just outside.
    Wondering how he had found out where they were, she stayed as quiet as possible. Waiting for him to make a move before calling the police, Allie hoped that he would do something foolish so that they could lock him up.
    Allie wanted to be certain that he meant them harm before she alerted the police. All Allie needed was for the police to show up with him gone. This time he went to his car and got in driving away while looking at the apartment the whole time. Just glad that he was really gone, Allie sank to the floor in relief that she had not called the police.
    This time he left without doing anything threating, so it was a good thing that she had waited. It seemed like Mike was trying to get Allie to make a wrong move, so it would look like she was just crying wolf. The police might not show up the next time when she and Sally really needed it.
    Allie carried the still sleeping Sally to her room laying her on the bed. She hoped Mike wasn’t coming back and to be on the safe side she pushed a chest of drawers in front of the back door.
    She turned everything off in the living room and grabbed the back packs, placing them next to the bed. Taking a last bathroom break, she closed the door to her bedroom, putting a chair under that door as well. She didn’t even think to wonder where Mike might have gone till the next day.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter 6
     
     
    Megan had been taking the medication only when necessary or after everyone left so that she could get some rest. She figured that if she got more rest, she would get better faster and be able to get out of there sooner. She had been sleeping when she felt someone standing over her.
    Most of the time when the nurses came in and out they moved around and made some noise. They quickly checked her vitals or were replacing the IVs. To have someone just standing there made Megan uncomfortable even in her sleep.
    She rolled over so that she was facing the person standing there. She tried to keep breathing evenly so that they thought she was still asleep. Looking thru her lashes, she noticed that it was Mike.
    Having a good idea of what he would try if she were awake, she simply kept laying still hoping he would leave if she wasn’t conscious.
    He left her side and pulled a chair up to the side of her bed; resting his elbows on his knees. He tapped his fingers in front of his scruffy chin, seeming to wondering where to begin the conversation.
    Talking to her in a soft, yet admonishing voice, “How could you do this to me? What were you thinking? I know that you were hurt and I’m so sorry that happened.” He
