over to the couch.
    “Alright fine.”
    I sat down beside him, waiting. I wanted to understand.
    “As you’ve probably figured out by now, this is about Becky.”
    “Yes. I clued into that.”
    “I told you already that she died. She was killed by the man I’ve been trying to find. He stalked her for six months before he killed her. My friends and I, we tried to do everything we could to keep her safe. We made up every excuse in the books to tell our parents so we could all be together, and it was working for the most part. We’d see him hanging around every now and then, but he wouldn’t approach her if we were there. We tried to get her to go to the police, but she wouldn’t. She … she never had luck with cops before, and she was sure they wouldn’t be any help to her.”
    I reached out and took his arm. He glanced at me and smiled.
    “We did everything we could.”
    “Of course, you did.” It sounded more like he was trying to convince himself than me to be honest.
    He stared off into space for a long time. “So … what happens if I don’t call the cops on you?” I still had a few more things to figure out, but I wasn’t so sure this man deserved to live.
    “I can’t say for sure.” He shrugged. “We kill him, and we either get caught or we kill ourselves.”
    My heart dropped into my stomach. That had not been what I was expecting to hear. I stared at him unable to believe that he might actually kill himself.
    “Oh.”
    He looked at me, reached out and covered my hand with his then smiled softly. It wasn’t a happy smile. “Ashley, no matter what happens; from now on I’m going to tell you everything.”
    “Everything? You promise?”
    “I promise Ashley. From now on we are in this together if you will have me.”
    “Of course.”
