Chapter Four: The One That Got Away
June 14th, 1981
Gerald
I had found an apartment to hide in. I visited Emberly earlier that day to hear that Lindsey was caving in on the killer. However the entire thing was suspicious to me.
I entered my apartment and freaked out to see the back of a blonde head staring out the window. She turned around and smirked at me.
"Hello Gerald, how's life? Not sure why you have a life that is." She glared menacingly.
"I just got lucky I guess. What are you doing here? Oh right come to finish the job." I asked casually.
"Maybe, I really just came to chat though. Please tell me more about how you got lucky." You could hear the venom in her tone.
"Completely unrelated to us but a girl portalled into our realm and saved my life. Like I said got lucky. Now what do you want." I asked again and she grabbed a steak knife and was about to chuck it at me when her phone rang.
She sighed and looked at the caller ID. "Well guess today's your lucky day. I'll be back for you though." She chuckled and headed for the door and I smirked.
"Not where your going." I said sarcastically.
She stopped in the doorway and looked back, "where's that?"
"Prison, America doesn't take as lightly to murder, and Lindsey is closing in on the killer." I responded.
"You're right they don't, but it's not me who's going to prison for it." She laughed and I looked confused.
"Really then who is?" I asked suspiciously.
"Oh hunny you are." She laughed and whisked away.

Emberly
I was sitting on my couch it had been a few hours since Gerald left. So I didn't expect to get a call from him.
"Gerald why are you calling me? You just left..." I asked him over the phone confused.
"Candice was just here. She was going to try and kill me but then she got a phone call. Then she said I was going to prison for her murders... Emberly I'm worried find out more what's going on before I go to jail." He said frantically and I gasped.
"I'll find out right away, Lindsey is coming to pick me up to go see how my psychic abilities work." I said confidently.
"Okay I'll see you later, I'm gonna lay low." He said and then hung up.
Lindsey arrived about 20 minutes later and I joined her in her red ford mustang. "How do you have such a nice car?" I asked and she chuckled.
"Let me ask you this, who else do you know with the last name of Hoover?" I looked confused but then answered
"President Hoover?" I said confused because that's all I could think of.
"That's my daddy, does that answer your question?" She said with a sligh smile.
"Wow that's crazy I can't believe you're our ex-presidents daughter!" I said completely shocked then remembered what Gerald said. "So who do you think is killing all these people?"
"I believe it's a man named Gerald, do you know him?" She asked and I took a deep breath.
"No... But I'm completely certain it's a woman." I told her and Lindsey shook her head.
"Definitely not, we will be closing the case soon. Once we find out where he is." She said but I could tell something suspicious was going on.
"Right so what am I here for?" I asked her and she pulled up to the last location of a murder.
"Wanted to see if you got any visions." She said and she took me for a little walk around the girls apartment but I got nothing I could say. Like I saw Candice murder her but I doubted she would believe me, or rather would change her mind.
It was clear to me Lindsey was a dirty cop working for Candice.
