"Hello?"
"Hey Dai this is Trinity."
"Hey what's up?"
"Can we meet at my house at 8pm instead of 9pm?"
"Sure. Not a problem. Just give me your address. Okay great! Got it. I'll see you then."
Dai hung up and realized she hadn't eaten and walked downstairs to the kitchen. As she got to the bottom of the stairs Craig peered around the corner and walked in her room. He looked on her desk and saw the name and address.
He picked up his phone to make the call he dreaded having to make.
Craig paused in mid dial and was remembering how it all started. He couldn't afford for Dai to find out his connection with Trinity. That would be bad.
"Damn!" screamed Craig. "Why was Trinity so nosey anyway? This is what caused our problems in the beginning."
Craig sighed and finished dialing.
He hated to do this but there was too much at stake for her to screw things up for him. He almost let it happen once. He had sent her away once before. Now it was a different game and trinity wasn't ready or willing to play by his rules. She wouldn't have to worry about that anymore. The ringing of the phone on the other end was putting Craig into a thought trance. He remembered when he first met Trinity. She was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. They met in High School and continued dating right through college. They moved in together shortly after graduation. She didn't know about his past at the time so when he received the phone call he knew he couldn't tell. She must have suspected something though because she followed him. He knew he had to get rid of her, but couldn't bare the thought of killing her. He decided to send her on a dream vacation to Paris. He told her he had some things to take care of, but he would meet her there in a few day. When she left he packed his things and moved. She finally found him, but he didn't know how. Of course this left him with no choice. Her fate had been sealed.
Dai was looking at the clock. It was almost time to meet Trinity. She had no idea what she had to tell her, but maybe it would shed some light on a few things. She gathered her things and left. She wanted to leave before Craig got home. When she arrived at Trinity's house it was dark inside.
She looked in the window and didn't see anyone inside.
She hoped Trinity had remembered their appointment. She walked up to the door and found a note there:
"Dai,
I know we had an appointment, but something has come up and I will need to reschedule with you. I'll give you a call later in the week.
Trinity"
Dai read over the note several times. Something wasn't right. Why would she cancel when she was so adamant about meeting with her? Dai let out a sigh. She put the note in her pocket and headed home. When she got home there was a note from Craig on the coffee table.
"Dai,
I had to go out for a bit. I will be back soon.
Love,
Craig"
Dai put the letter down and started to walk up the stairs. She was still thinking about Trinity when she stopped dead in her tracks. She pulled Trinity's letter out of her pocket and looked at it again. She walked over to the table and picked up Craig's letter. Her eyes widened in horror at what she was seeing. She couldn't believe it could be possible. Had she really been a fool this whole time? Had everything that had been told to her been a lie? She stood there holding the 2 letters in her hands, her head hung in defeat.
She was so engrossed in the letters she didn't hear her front door open or the footsteps coming up behind her.
She felt the cold hand touch her shoulder. She turned around and saw him standing there. She let out what she believed to be a scream, then the room went dark.
"Scream all you want Dai. Nobody can hear you."
