I turned around the last corner to the cottage and to my dismay...

Mia's door was busted open. A cop car was mounted on the grass with the door wide open and a leg hanging out.

I dropped the milk and it splattered against the pavement.

I ran to the cop car and saw an officer lying against the chair. Blood was leaving through his uniform right at the stomach. He's breathing. 

I ran inside and saw Mia bound and gaged to a kitchen chair. "MIA!" I ran over and she was completely covered in cuts. "DAMN IT!" I said as I unbounded her. She started breathing heavily and her eyes almost glazed over. The place was an actual state. I pulled out my phone and called 911. 

"Mia!" Said a man that hoped out the ambulance as she was being taken care of. "Max..." He knelt down to her and she weakly fell into his arms. He adjusted the blanket around her shoulders and got up slowly to face me. "You must be Oceane." He said, guiding me to walk away from the scene. He flicked out his badge and said "Max Harefeild. One of the people on Mia's protection team."

"For God sake! There's more than of you and this," I said pointing around. "This happened ?" I continued. A tear rolled down my face. "Look, I'm a good friend of Mia's and believe you me, I have to know Idea how this happened. I was meant to swap with Darren here..." He said pointing to the man being wheeled away on a stretcher. "At eleven O'Clock. But obviously something out of his control happened. He' was meant to call up but again, didn't go to plan."

Max was a tall man. With blonde curly hair and Freckles. Quite clean shaven. I rubbed my arm and asked "Do you know the situation?"

"Yes. Im the only one who knows the truth. Everyone else just thought it was a crazy ex boyfriend. But I understand that for the safety of you and your friends its necessary that not everyone knows. Im going to struggle keeping that under wraps now."

"No way can this be pulled off as unrelated crimes."

"Yeah." He said looking at the mess.

"I'm going to call my boyfriend a moment." I pulled out my phone as he nodded.

"Flynn..." I sighed once he picked up.

"Oceane?" He said with a thoughtful tone

I told him everything that happened.

"I want you home. Now." He said sternly.

"You know that's not the smartest idea." I said putting my hand to my head.

"They followed you Oceane. They were not after Mia. They would of killed her. They were looking for you. I want you home so I can protect you." He continued.

" I like it when you're like this...I might just come home to see you Mr Winters." I turned to the trees and bit my lip.

"Oh yeah?" He said.

"Yeah... but! You know, and I know that , that would be a very bad idea. Wouldn't it?" I asked.

"Fine, fine. Just stay safe. Please. I cannot lose you." he said, giving up.

"Okay Flynny. Don't do anything stupid okay?"

"Don't count on it." He laughed.

Now that has me worried.
To be honest, I don't trust him at all.
