Chapter 148: Leaving The Town(2)
Spikes chased Rory while barking. Rory heard the front door opening.
"Who’s there?" Frank shouted. And Rory heard the sound of a shotgun cocking.
Spikes was barking at her although he didn’t follow her anymore. She knew Frank would shoot in her direction if Spikes kept on barking.
"Come on out!" Frank shouted and stepped out to the porch. Rory saw Derick has joined Frank too and turned on all the outdoor lights.
Rory didn’t stop. She didn’t want them to know that she is planning on leaving the house. They won’t let her.
"Stupid dog! Go away!"
She hissed at the dog and hid behind a bush. She would be caught if she moves even a bit. She hugged Ellie close, hoping that she would sleep more comfortably in her embrace. She hoped Derick won’t come out for a sweep.
She kept an eye on the front porch. Derick and Frank were talking among themselves and staring in her direction. Leroy joined them too. And they were unconsciously looking at the gates at the reporters. Rory figured that they might be thinking that a reporter sneaked in.
But will that calm them down?
Spikes kept on barking. Rory almost lost hope.
"You are trespassing our property, buddy. Show yourself and you can spare your life!" Frank shouted and walked down the stairs.
From the bush, Rory could see that Frank is pointing the gun right at her. It was as if he figured out that she was there. She would have stayed and played chicken with a gun if Ellie was not in her arms. But she didn’t want to take a chance now. She wouldn’t put Ellie in harm’s way.
