Chapter 12

After crying on Tara’s shoulder most of the night, I finally fell into an exhausted sleep on the futon. The next morning Tara made me eat a little breakfast before taking me to the police station so we could get that over with. I called Utha Mae and my mom and told them what had happened. They were going to come see me, but I asked them not to. The less stress I had in my life the better.

“You’re going to miss your classes,” I told Tara.

“Girl,” she looked at me with one hand on her hip like I was crazy. “Do you think I’m lettin’ you go there by yourself? No way. We’re playin’ hooky today. With what you’ve been through, you deserve to take a day off. Heck, we might just take the whole dang week off!”

I called Detective Randall before we left the house. He said he was already at the station and had some interesting news to tell us.

When we got to the station, Detective Randall escorted us to his office and took my official statement. After describing everything I could in as much detail as I could remember, he sat back in his seat behind his paper strewn desk and told Tara and me what he had discovered.

“It seems Michelle was behind everything that’s happened to you in the past few days. She confessed to running you off the road, turning on the gas in your apartment and also to sabotaging your car. Something about your alternator?”

“Yes, it went out on me the night before she made me crash into the ditch.” I remembered Brand asking me if I had recently had any work done because it looked like my car had been tampered with.

“What was her plan? I mean why tamper with the alternator?” I asked.

“Well, apparently she was waiting to follow you on the highway when you got back on it. She planned for you to breakdown there and need a ride. Then she would have had you and basically followed through with the same plans as yesterday.”

If her plan had succeeded, I knew I would probably be dead now. Brand hadn’t given me his phone until after that happened. The realization of how close I had actually come to death finally hit me, hard.

“We also did a blood work up on her to see if she was taking any drugs. What we found was …odd.”

“Was she on drugs?” Tara asked.

“Not exactly. They found high levels of something called androstadienone in her system.”

“I don’t know what that is,” I confessed.

“Well, the lab guys tell me it’s thought to be a human male pheromone. How she came into contact with so much of it we’re not sure. Whether or not it has anything to do with why she wanted to kill you is a mystery too. I just thought you might want to know.”

Detective Randall thanked us for coming in and said it was pretty much an open and shut case. I wouldn’t need to do anything else except show up to her sentencing hearing, but that was up to me.
