Chapter 44

• Chapter Forty Four
• Dave drove fast down town, he had Carol call the police from the car just in case the crooks were still around. He was worried and scared that something bad had happened to her, she wasn’t yet strong enough to suffer a brutality and all the progress she was making of leaving her shell would be flushed down the toilet. Everything he was trying to build with her would be put on hold and she might run again, something he was never going to allow.
• He got to the apartment building the same time the police did. He didn’t wait to offer them any explanations, he rushed to her apartment, they followed close behind. When he got there he found the door a jar, and the apartment had no sense of movement or noise. His body weakened as the thought of his worst nightmare coming true filled his mind. All the dreams of his future may have been shredded along with the woman he loves.
