"Hi Allie this is Drew, we are in town for a public appearance and a show, I was hoping we could get together for dinner, call me at the hotel"
Allie was running out the door to a meeting with her new paralegals when she heard the message, she smiled and copied down the number.

"Fuck..." Chia was cursing as she tried to make the totals of the Adderson requisition add up. She had been having a real hard time since Allie left. She had forgotten how much she needed her sister. She had lost her appetite 2 weeks ago and was living on coffee, she had lost a lot of weight and everyone around the office was concerned. She never slept because when she did the demon nightmares that had plagued her after the death of her parents returned and consumed her sleep. Her boss had called her in yesterday and asked her if she needed time off to sort through her issues. He knew about her parents and he was sure that she had rushed too fast and had not mourned properly. Chia picked up the phone and tried to call Allie. "Dammit she isn't in." Chia slammed down the phone and decided to go home early. She hailed a cab and settled into the cab for the 20 minute ride home.

Allie was walking in the parking garage towards her car when she heard footsteps following her, she clasped her mace that was attached to her keys and walked faster. She turned off her car alarm and jumped into her car. She sped away. Her nerves had been shot since the last phone call. She had been getting menacing calls at least twice a day and they were beginning to wear on her. She had contacted the police but they couldn't put a trace on the calls because the calls were always under 30 seconds. She had told nobody close to her about the calls, she didn't want to worry them. She was at a stop late when she noticed that the ash tray was open and there were butts in it. She turned white and called the police on her cell phone.

"We're sorry the number you have reached has been changed to an unlisted number"
"Dammit what the hell is going on" Howie slammed down the phone. He had been trying Allie's cell and her home number for over an hour and they both had been disconnected. He tried her office but her voice mail came on. He knew that Allie was hiding something from him and he was worried.

Allie sat in the police station filling out a report. They had dusted
for
prints but whoever had broken into her car had used gloves. The police
were
sympathetic to her but there was nothing they could do. They sent her
home.
Allie picked up her cell and called her office to let Janet know that
she
was heading home. There was no answer so she left a message. She pulled
into
her laneway and entered her house. She called for Max and there was no
answer. Allie got goosebumps and she heard a voice warning her to get
out
but she ignored it. She walked into the kitchen and turned on the light
and
saw the patio door open, she turned on the light, let out a scream and
passed out.
