Chapter 31
Beth walked quickly back to her car. She had remembered what Alan had told her a few years ago, about parking under a street lamp. Beth glanced up ruefully. She had done it but she didn’t know when she parked her car earlier that this lamp wasn’t working.
Up until 30 minutes earlier, the street lamp had been working. A stone, thrown with remarkable accuracy, had smashed the bulb, making it useless and plunging a large area of the car park into darkness. And then he had waited in the shadows. He could be patient.
She just had her key in the lock when his hand was over her mouth. Beth froze in fear, unable to breath, her eyes wide in panic. Her keys fell from her hand as she felt the tip of a cold blade at her throat.
‘I have missed you, my darling Beth’ Steve whispered hoarsely in her ear.
Bile rose in Beth’s throat as he forced her to walk to the passenger side of the car. With his elbow, he smashed the window and reaching in a hand, he unlocked the door and pushed Beth into the seat.
‘If you try and run, I’ll catch you so don’t bother’. He stated.
His voice was cold, flat and decisive as he went back around the car and lifted the keys, sitting himself into the drivers seat.
Beth sat still, staring out of the window. She had put her hand in her left pocket and was desperately trying to switch on her mobile phone. She was concentrating and didn’t notice Steve looking intently at her face.
‘You look great Beth.’ He was smiling at her.
Turning slowly, she noticed the knife on the dashboard and looked into his face. His eyes looked wider than she remembered, his smile slightly manic. With shock she realised how unhinged he was and took her hand from her phone to avoid drawing attention to it.
'Thanks.’ She whispered.
She didn’t know whether to engage him in conversation, persuade him that he didn’t really want her, or just stay quiet. But she answered him, scared at what he might do if she ignored him. It was as if her old pattern of behaving with him came flooding back, nothing had changed. Except Beth had changed, she knew more.
Steve started the car and they pulled slowly out of the car park.
‘Where are we going?’ Beth whispered to him.
‘Just for a drive. You used to love our country drives, remember?’ His voice was light.
***************
Alan was walking towards the restaurant when his mobile phone rang in his pocket. He lifted it to turn it off but changed his mind when he saw it was Beth. He smiled in surprise; they hadn’t spoken in over a month.
He lifted the ‘phone. ‘Hello you!’
Silence and crackling on the end of the ‘phone.
‘Beth? Hello?’ He was talking loudly.
He ducked into a doorway and listened intently. He could hear voices in the background, a male and female voice talking and then a man’s voice shouting.
With shock he realised what was happening and dropped his ‘phone, the colour draining from his face.
‘Oh my God…’he whispered.
