The Time Traveling Killer

Chapter Six - Confessions

Chief Williams pulled out his g*n at Flynn. I stared at Flynn, I could remember who he was. He loved me and I… "Get your knees slowly! Put your hands behind your head!" I swallowed. We were back in our normal life, and I told him the truth. I couldn't forgive him for what he had done. 

"Millicent do you know this man?" Chief Williams asked. "Yes, he's the mailman, I told you." I said. He looked at me, Flynn was on his knees staring at me. I looked down, on my hand was my engagement ring. I looked at Flynn again. Hollance came running out, he bumped into me and glared at Flynn. "You son of a…" Chief Williams grabbed him.

"You're gonna rot in prison for everything you've done!" Hollance yelled. I stepped away from Hollance, he shook his head. "I'm fine Chief, make sure he rots in hell." Hollance said. Chief Williams handcuffed Flynn. Hollance grabbed me by the face and kissed me.

It felt forced, like he was making me do it, I pulled away. "I'm not in a kissing mood, Hollance." I snapped and walked outside. I watched Flynn get into the police cruiser, he stared at me. A tear rolled down my cheek and hit the floor, I loved Flynn, and I wanted him back. 

I turned around to Hollance and walked inside. "Baby did I do something?" He asked. "No, not exactly, this is all my fault. I have to tell you something and you're not gonna like it." I said. "What could you possibly tell me?" He asked. "I…" Zachary came in, interrupting me. "I just saw Chief Williams drag someone into his cruiser, what happened?" He asked. 

"That would be, Mr. Airest. He killed…" "I'm in love with Flynn!" I shouted. Zachary and Hollance looked at me, I wanted to shrivel up. "I'm not joking, I really do. I met a good part of him, he's temperamental, but sweet." I said. "He just gave himself to the cops, for me." I added. My stomach was fluttering. 

"I love Flynn Airest, nothing can change that. Hollance I'm sorry." I said. He stood there, frozen, but I saw his eyes changing emotions. He was upset, that was his final emotion. He walked over to me, I stepped back, but he grabbed me by the neck. He shoved me against the door frame and stared at me. 

"Your… you don't love him! I know you don't, because I've been watching everything." He said and pushed. I gasped for air, trying to get free. "Your parents hired me, years ago. I'm twenty-nine years old Millicent. I was tasked with falling in love with you, then I would take over the company with you." He said. 

"I don't know when I lost track of you, but apparently I need to cuff you now." I couldn't even get a little air, my lungs were on fire, screaming in pain. "I like the ring, suits you. I think I might just use it. You will marry me, secretly, because a sixteen year old girl marrying a twenty-nine year old, there will be questions." He whispered and dropped me to the floor. 

"No I won't!" I yelled. Zachary handcuffed me to the table. "You will. Captain Ortega is my uncle, he may be dead now, but a small sacrifice." He said and bent down to me. "I love you baby, you'll see that one day." He kissed me, I bit him. 

He slapped me. "No biting, I'll need to find a church by tonight. Oh by the way if you don't marry me, Evanessa loses her head. Her life hangs in the balance." Hollance said and walked away. "Zachary, please. I know you don't want to do this." I said, he smiled. 

"Watch you marry my brother, no of course not. I love you, which is why I'll kill him before he says I do. Blah, blah, blah. We are married, on our honeymoon, recreating the company." He said and kissed me, sliding his hand around my waist. I fought him, but he held me. "It'll all be done quickly, I won't make you watch." He whispered and stood up. "Stay here." He said. 

"No! You can't do this!" I screamed and pulled on the handcuff. I looked around, my phone was on the coffee table, it was quite a ways away. I heard Hollance's truck start, then drive away. I clenched my teeth and grabbed the foot of the table and tried dragging it with me. "Help me!" I screamed. 

"Someone help me!" I screamed. I would tire myself out, either way, I looked at the foot of the table. I laid down on my back, I was under the table. "Come on, I need this to work." I said. I placed my feet against it and slid the cuff to the bottom. I pushed the table, trying to lift it, even just a smidge.

I tried to push again and again. I couldn't do it. I screamed and kicked the table. A compartment opened. There was a g*n, c4, a mag, and a pair of pliers. I grabbed the pliers and put them against the chain. I gripped them closed as hard as I could. My phone was going off like crazy. 

"Come on!" I screamed. The handcuff broke, I fell forward and hit my head. I shook my head and crawled out, I ran to my bag. I searched through it for my phone, and grabbed it. I was grabbed by the hair and thrown backwards. I hit a cabinet. It was Hollance's sister, "You're in this too?" I asked. "The whole family is." She said and pulled on a spiked leather glove. 

"You don't have to do this." I argued with my hands up. "Yeah, yeah I do. Well at least put you to sleep." She said. She came at me, I wasn't exactly a fighter, but I watched movies. This was a lot scarier than a movie. She stumbled into the table and whipped around. I grabbed the glass bowl of fruit and threw it at her. 

She hissed in pain, she was cut on the arm. "You bitch." She said. I swallowed and stepped back. She swung a fist, I jumped back. She swung again, I kept blocking. "Stop it!" I yelled. She laughed and tackled me to the floor. I kneed her. I scrambled away, she grabbed my foot. 

I hit the floor and grabbed the leg of a table. She pulled on my leg. I couldn't kick her away, I screamed as something cut my leg. I looked at her, she was cutting me with her glove. I kicked her hand, she screamed. I stood up and ran over to the table. She jumped at me from the coffee table. We slid into the kitchen.

She punched, I rolled away, her spiked broke the tile. I stared at her wide eyed. I crawled on my knees over to the dining table. I kicked  the chairs at her, she fell over a few. "Stop fighting me." She said. "No!" I yelled. I threw a lamp at her, it broke on the floor. She ran me, punching wildly. 

I shoved her away and ran for the door. She threw a lamp at me. I hit the floor, clenching my teeth in pain, I was dazed. "Stay down." She demanded. I rolled on my side, she climbed over. "No." I snapped. I sat up and she grabbed my face. I stared at her, she threw a punch. I was hit, but not a bad one. 

I stabbed her, she fumbled and her spikes cut me across the face. We both screamed in pain, I kicked one of her knees and crawled backwards. She fell to the floor crying, I lickled my lips and ran back to the living room. I grabbed my phone with shaky hands. "Where the hell are you?" She asked. 

I swallowed, I ran under the table and grabbed the g*n and bomb. "Over here!" I yelled. She limped over, I pointed the g*n at her, she laughed. "You're not going to shoot me." She said. "Your right." I took off running towards the door. I ran down the path and the house exploded. 

I was sent flying across the road. I tumbled onto the floor, only catching a glimpse of Hollaces burning house before blacking out. 

I woke up on a bed, my head hurt so bad. I swallowed and looked around slowly. I was in the hospital, hooked up to a bunch of machines. I couldn't move any of  my limbs, everything hurt so bad. Chief Williams ran, a nurse just behind him. I stared at him, something was different, he was crying. That was a first, I had never seen him cry. 

"Mr. Williams, only family." The nurse argued. "I am all she has!" He yelled. She looked down, I forced a smile. "What did they do to you?" He asked and walked towards the bed. "Did I get her?" I mumbled. 

"Yes, you did. Flynn confessed to everything, but he's not getting charged." He sat on a chair next to the bed. "Hollance and Zachary are hiding, somewhere. We'll find them, I promise." He said. "What about… Evanessa?" I asked. Someone came in, I looked, Evanessa was in a wheelchair. 

"Ev, no." I said. "I lived, I don't have any feeling in my legs, I never will. I was in the house, locked in the attic. I feel two stories. You've been out for some time." She said. I cried, "I… I swear, I didn't know." I said. "It's okay, but someone wants to see you." Flynn walked in. His hair was combed back nicely, intp a small ponytail.

He was wearing a nice button up shirt, jeans, clean clothes. He looked charming, "Hi." I said. "Flynn here is related to a wonderful man. His father died in bomb testing by your parents Millicent, but he didn't know, his father was a war hero. His father saved hundreds of men's lives, even his mother's. Flynn is the second born." Chief Williams said. 

"I fought with his father, he was a great man. His father would be proud, you brought them to justice, when I realized what his name was it made sense. Airest is backwards for Tseria. The S is silent, he had to change his name." Chief Williams patted Flynn on the back. 

Flynn came to my side and grabbed my hand, "I look ugly, don't I?" I asked, he chuckled and shook his head. "No, you look beautiful." He said and smiled. "Liar, I got cut on the face, beat, and tossed around. Thank you, for coming." I squeezed his hand. He kissed my hands, "So I guess you're free and I was really wrong about Hollance." I muttered.  

"I thought he was a nineteen year old." He said and kissed me. I moved closer to him, he kissed me, and I didn't want to stop. "Calm down turbo, you're still on a hospital bed." Ev said, I chuckled. "I love you Flynn." I said. "When does she get out?" He asked and kissed me again. "I love you too." He whispered in my ear.

"I think two days. She's still healing, the doctors want to make sure she's okay." Chief Williams said, I smiled. "Hear that? We'll move to England or Texas. Maybe Florida, somewhere nice." I said, he nodded. "England sounds wonderful." He said. 

"England it is. We'll move to England, and we'll have a family." I said, he kissed me again. "Chief Williams, you need to come see this!" Someone yelled. Chief Williams ran out, I looked at Flynn. The speakers came on. "All I want is Millicent Gronze! She is my wife to be, Flynn Airest kidn*pped her from my house!" It was Hollance. 

I grabbed Flynn's hand. "Don't you dare try to do that." I said, he looked at me. "You killed my sister, you know that was cruel, blowing her up." He said. I sat up and wrapped my arms around Flynn. "Can you drive?" I asked. "Me? Yes I can drive." Flynn said. 

"Then I'm going to need you to drive. I need you to take me to Morawits Cinema." I said. "Ev, give him the message." I said and turned Flynn's head. "Trust me, I know how to end this." I said, he stared into my eyes. I nodded and held him. "Okay, how far from here?" He asked and picked me up slowly. 

"Twenty minutes, I'm gonna need you to be fast, really fast. Without killing us." I said. "Or others"” He said and looked around. "What car am I going to use and how do we get out?" He asked. "You need to take the cruiser, Chief Williams. Have the lights on. Hollance will follow us, that's the plan." I said and put my forehead on his. 

"Do you trust me?" I asked. "You want him to follow us?" He asked. "Do you trust me? I can't tell you the whole plan, you just have to trust me." I said and held his face. "I promise, I won't let anything, but I need you to trust me. No matter what." I said, he stared at me. Unsure of how to respond. "I trust you. So we just ran past him." He looked around.

"Chief William's cruiser is out the back, I can't really walk." I said. Flynn picked me up, slowly unhooking a few of the cords. I smiled and stared at him. "Please remember to strap in, in case something happens." I said and put my head on him. Flynn smiled and ran out of the room carrying me. 

"I always strap in." He kicked a door open and looked at the police car in the back. "That one?" He walked towards the only police cruiser. "Yep, be fast." I said. I could see Zachary walking around the lawn as Hollance demanded things from the hospital staff. Flynn opened the door and sat me in my seat, I smiled and seatbelted in. 

I looked back at Hollance, he wasn't that boy I had known before. He was what I thought Flynn was, everything I knew was turned upside down, but the wish made sense now. Hollance and my parents were the good guys, the good guy was the bad guy. 

I looked at myself in the mirror, I had three scars going from my right temple to the left side of my jaw. The scars were clean across, no jagged marks, just across. I looked at Flynn as he got in. He slammed his door, Zachary looked over. "Start it up, and blow the sirens." I said. Flynn smiled. 

"What?" I asked, he turned on the sirens, he looked so excited. "Seat belted in?" He asked as he seatbelted himself in. "Yep, now why are you so excited?" I asked "Because we're stealing a police car." He put it in drive. 

"You're hilarious, this is a one time thing and only because it's an emergency." I said. Hollance came running into the parking lot as Flynn backed up. "Get out of the cruiser! I just want Millicent!" Hollance yelled. I stared at him. "He's crazy." I said. "Get out!" He yelled. Flynn floored the gas, the cruiser took off. 

I watched as Hollance jumped out of the way, rolling into an empty spot. He took off running across the field with Zachary. I gave Flynn a high five. "Okay, now keep going." I said, my hands were shaking. Flynn looked at me, he grabbed one of my hands. I squeezed it, "Let's hope this works." I said and smiled. 

⏳

Flynn looked in the mirror, Hollance and Zachary were following. Whatever car they were using would catch up fast. Flynn looked away, "So what does this place look like?" He glanced at Millicent. "I'll tell you when it comes around, go left." Millicent demanded. 

She grabbed the door as he took a sharp turn. "I remember this, you were the one who hit me." Millicent chuckled. "What? When did that happen?" Flynn teased, driving until Millicent gave him instructions. 

"Don't play dumb, you threw my car in a ditch, and tried to kill me." She said. Flynn took a chance and bolted through a red light, narrowly missing a van. Millicent was gripping the armrest "Yeah, but it wasn't your car." Flynn added. "I was in it. It belonged to me for a few minutes, until you wrecked it." She said. 

She leaned over and breathed, she was in distress. Blood came out of her mouth, she covered her mouth. "Oh god." She muttered and put her head back. "I think they forget to mention how I was blown up and suffered internal bleeding." She said. Flynn slammed on the brakes and looked at her. "Don't stop! You have to get to the cinema!" She yelled. "What! You're going to bleed out!" He yelled.

"If you stop, Hollance will get me, dead or alive!" Millicent yelled. "I'll be fine." She didn't sound positive. "I… ugh! How much further?" Flynn asked and kept driving. "Just drive." She said, putting her head back. 

She grabbed Flynn's phone and put in a destination. It was the cinema, she was holding back tears. "I love you Flynn." She said, her voice cracked, she was scared. Flynn took his gaze off the road for a second to look at her

Hollance rammed his car into the back of them. Millicent cried and looked back. "I'm sorry, I didn't know." She said, Hollance hit us again. "Stay awake and spit the blood out." Flynn demanded, only going faster. He turned down the road that the GPS told him to. 

"You know just as well as I do, that's not gonna work. My whole life I thought, my parents cared about me, they lied to me. But Chief Williams, he's the best. You have to tell him I love him, he's like my dad, and Ev, I hope she lives happily." Millicent coughed, blood got all over her hands. 

They still had twelve minutes. Millicent wouldn't make it that far out and back. Flynn slammed on the brakes again, then parked the car. He didn't plan to regret this choice, he jumped out and ran over to her side. 

She fell limp in my arms after he unbuckled her. She screamed in pain as Flynn moved her. Flynn felt a g*n touch the back of his head. He froze and Millicent was silent "See what happens when you run from me? Now your boyfriend is going to die and so are you." Hollance said. The bullet was shot, it went right into Flynn's skull.
