Chapter 30

“He’s moving,” John said suddenly, startling the others out of their own thoughts.

It had been an hour since Luke first called Jaxon and he had tried every fifteen minutes since, but Jaxon had not called them back. Luke was starting to get worried and Ellie kept looking at him with her sad eyes, as if asking him to come up with something. He was just about to try Jaxon again when John spoke up.

Luke went to the computer and watched the blip slowly move across the map. He was heading past the tennis courts in the direction of the pool complex.

“Do you think he’s on his way to do it?” Ellie asked.

“I have no idea,” Luke said, but was worried she was right.

“We need to call somebody,” Ellie said.

“Nobody will believe us,” Jimmy said. “We’re just a bunch of punks to them.”

“It’s their job,” Ellie said. “They’re supposed to believe us.”

“Come on, El,” Jimmy said. “If somebody called you with this crazy story, would you believe them?”

“Jaxon’s the only one who knows what’s going on,” Luke said. “Jimmy’s right. Nobody will take us seriously.”

“We have to do something!” she said. “We can’t just sit here and watch.”

“I know,” Luke said, frustrated, “but what can we do?”

“Call 911," Ellie said.

“What do I tell them?” Luke said.

“I don’t know,” she sounded frustrated. “Tell them we think somebody is going to be killed.”

Luke shrugged and dialed 911.

“911. What is the nature of your emergency,” the operator said.

“Uh…yes. I’d like to report a killing,” Luke said.

“You want to report a murder?”

“Well…not yet. I mean it hasn’t happened yet. But we think it’s going to.”

“What is your name and how old are you?”

“My name is Lucas Harrison and what does it matter how old I am?”

“How do you know there’s going to be a murder, sir?”

“We don’t know for sure. He told us he was going to kill someone tonight.”

“Who told you?”

“The killer. He calls himself William Smith, but I don’t think it’s his real name. We’re wasting time. He’s moving now!”

“I’m not following you sir. Where is this so called William Smith moving to?” Luke could tell the operator wasn’t believing anything he was telling her.

“We’re not sure, but we can track him.”

“Uh huh,” she said. “How are you tracking him?”

“By his cell phone.”

“Right. You know it’s a felony to prank call 911 don’t you?”

“This isn’t a prank! He said he was going to kill someone tonight. One of our friends.”

“Who?”

“He wouldn’t tell us that.”

“Tell her he’s the swimming pool killer,” Ellie said.

“He’s the one who’s been killing the kids and putting them in the pool at The Woods,” Luke said.

Silence on the other end for a second.

“Detective Jennings told us to call if we had any information, but he won’t answer his phone,” Luke said.

“All right,” the operator said. “Jaxon is out of town, but I’ll have the officer in charge look at it. Where is this going to happen?”

“He’s currently…” Luke looked at the monitor. “He’s moving through the neighborhood of The Woods toward the pool area.
