“Hellooooo.” Cari yelled as she crossed the grass, trying to look casual while making a beeline for Ray and Vanessa. Her heart was hammering in her throat. She didn’t know what else to do but try and distract her, giving the police time to arrive. Could she get Vanessa to drop the g*n? Was that even a possibility? Cari saw that she looked half-crazed. What if she couldn’t think of a way to keep her from pulling the trigger?
Ray heard Cari yelling as she trotted through the yard. He cringed; he desperately wanted to holler for her to run. How was he going to protect her from this madness? In a matter of minutes, Vanessa’s g*n would be trained on both of them.
Ray looked at her and whispered, “Don’t worry; I’ll get rid of her, and we can finish our conversation.”
