hours sleeping. She was also given access to a shower
and a new change of clothes. Only now was she waking up, sitting on the edge of
the bed, putting on her shoes. Walter was supposed to be around somewhere. In
the room, outside it, in his car… But when Stacey opened the door a few minutes
later, she couldn’t find him anywhere.
    His car was
gone from the parking lot.
    When she
returned to the room she was given a frightening shock, as the phone started
ringing. She answered it.
    “Hello?”
    “Stacey, it’s
Walter,” came his voice over the phone. “You need to get out of the room right
now.”
    “What? Why?”
    “They’re
coming for you –” Walter said. At that point the phone was knocked out of his
hand by someone or something, and the line went dead.
    Stacey let it
fall from her grasp and then she went to the window and pulled back the blinds.
    Cop cars
pulling into the car park. Lots of them.
    “Shit,” she
cursed and then ran out to the bathroom. She closed the door, locked it, and
went to the window. She removed the screen and pushed herself through. She hit
the dirt below on her knees and quickly stood to dust herself off. She could
hear the cops already knocking on the door to the room.
    Quick
thinking, Stacey hurried over to a wire fence that stood between the motel’s
grounds and a junkyard which was next-door. She successfully managed to scale
it, and jumped to the other side without harm. She started running across the
base of it. Looking back after a moment, she saw officers were searching for
her at the back of the room where she’d come through.
    “There!” one
of them shouted. “She’s over there!”
    Panicked,
Stacey ran faster kicking up the dirt as she did. She veered round to the
entrance, looking for some kind of help, any help.
    But the road
was empty at the moment.
    Stacey made
her way out of the junkyard and exited out to run alongside the main road.
Looking behind her, there were still no cars. She knew of course there would be
soon. The problem was that out here, there was nowhere for her to hide. Any
second now the cops would be on her tail and she’d have no choice but to go
with them.
    And from
there… Back to the Island…
    Honk-honk.
    Someone was
out here. She didn’t recognize the car at first, but realized she should have
once she saw who was in it.
    He honked the
horn again.
    Opened the
passenger door.
    “Get in,”
Dennis said.

 
    CHAPTER
FIFTEEN
     
     
    Now the police cars were starting to
move. Red and blue lights swung round the corner leaving Stacey in a box of
utter terror.
    “I’m here to
rescue you, you goose,” Dennis scolded her.
    The lights
were coming too fast. Stacey didn’t have a choice.
    She got in
and before she’d even closed the door Dennis pressed his foot down on the
accelerate. Hard.
    The jolt sent
Stacey to crack her head against the dashboard, drawing blood.
    “Jesus
Christ!” Dennis cursed at her.
    “Sorry,”
Stacey wailed.
    “Close the
fucking door!”
    Stacey
managed to slam it shut.
    “Buckle up,”
Dennis said, their speed increasing. Stacey looked over her shoulder to see the
cop lights were still there, but fading. She wondered if they saw her get into
Dennis’s car.
    At the next
intersection he made a left and soon they were moving through a series of
backstreets. He slowed down and they kept going… Where to Stacey wasn’t sure.
    “I think you
lost them,” she muttered.
    Dennis didn’t
reply.
    “Do you want
to let me out now?”
    “You need
somewhere to hide out don’t you?”
    “Yes, but –”
    “Jasmine
called me. Told me where you were. She would have come but she was too far
away.”
    “How did she
know where I was?”
    “Your friend
must have called her. The guy who got you the room.”
    “Oh…” Stacey
trailed off. As grateful as she was to be rescued by Dennis, she still hadn’t
gotten over his crazy behavior from last night. She didn’t trust him at all.
    Eyeing him
carefully she asked, “How
