Secrets Within

Chapter Nineteen


I wake up the next morning to the sound of choppers.

“Harry…Harry wake up, there’s helicopters” I shake him awake

“How’d they find us!” he shouts jumping up.

I grab my phone from the ground so I can use the gps to find the closest library.

“The Phones!” Harry grabs mine throwing both of them far into the woods.

Harry grabs my arm and drags me along. We run until we can’t hear the helicopters anymore. We come to a dead end, the only way to cross into the next town is to cross the river.

“The flow is pretty slow today, I bet we can wade across to the other side” Harry says

“Um..ok” I say

Harry goes in front of me, holding my hand tightly in case I fall. When we finally reach the other side we spot a gas station. Harry and I hurry over and ask to use the phone.

“Hey Tessa, it’s me” I whisper

“Em! Oh my god I’ve been so worried. Where are you?” she asks

“Um I think we are in Montgomery county but I’m not sure. Listen we need somewhere safe to go.” I tell her

Tessa gives me the address to her dad’s vacation house in Virginia. I write it down 22109 Lakeview circle.

“Thank you so much Tess. I owe you girl.”

“Be safe Em, and tell Harry the same”

“Yeah don’t get my friend killed” I hear Niall in the background

I let out a small giggle and tell Tessa to let Niall know nothing will happen to his friend. I hang up the phone and Harry and I set out walking South. After five miles of walking we reach a highway. There is a sign saying if we go left it will take us to Charleston, North Carolina and if we go right we’ll end up in Toledo, Ohio. We take the only sensible route and go left. After twenty minutes of walking and Harry holding his thumb out t passing motorist, someone finally stops.

“Where y’all headin?” the old man asks

Harry shows him the address. The man says it’s only about a seven-hour drive and that he will gladly take us.

“Thank you so much” I say as I climb into the cab of the semi.

Harry sits in the middle and I sit by the door. It isn’t too long before I doze off to sleep. Before I know it though I am being woken up by Harry.

“Hey beautiful, we’re almost there. Wake up sleepy head”

The truck driver whose name is Ted drops us off at the truck stop and wishes us well. Harry and I use the restroom then ask the clerk where we can find the address we are looking for.
“Oh yeah, I reckon you’re just about there. Just follow Main street here for one mile then turn right at the lights. Follow Lincoln Way for four blocks then make a left. Follow 6th court around the curve and it turns into Lakeview Circle.” They boy tells us

“Ok thank you” Harry and I say as we make our way out of the store.

We walk for half an hour before we finally reach Lakeview Circle. I look at the numbers on the houses. The first house I see is 22100. We follow the numbers until we reach the very last house on the block. Its secluded all by itself.

“22109, here it is I say happily

“Nice work love” Harry hugs me

We find the hidden house key and get inside making sure to lock the door behind us.

“Ok first thing first”


“I get dibs on shower” I say before he can finish.

Harry looks at me with his mouth open.

“Sorry” I say skipping towards the bathroom.

After Harry and I have showered and had some food we snoop around the office. I find a handgun and a stash of 10,000 dollars in a locked drawer. I take both of them an shove them in the backpack I found in Tessa’s room.

“Em, C’mere” Harry says

“Yeah” I say walking up behind him

“I found these two files in the cabinet over there”

I look and see one is labelled Smith List. I look it over and sure enough Vladmir Romanov is at the top of the list. There is also a micro SD card taped to the paper as well. Harry takes it and puts it into the tablet that’s lying on the shelf. It seems to be a digital copy of the list in case something happens to the hard copy. Harry takes the tablet turning off the gps and I burn the paper list. The second file I see is titled Hering’s Family. It goes on about how I was given to Veronika and Wesley and my “disappearance” made to look like a kidnapping. It was to divert Romanov from finding me.

“They were hiding me for my parents… they were helping them” I say shocked.

“Emerson are you ok?” Harry puts his arms around me

“Umm, yeah… they uhh, they were helping my parents keep me hidden. That’s why my name was changed.” I tell him tears escaping my eyes.

I read on and on about my parents and where they were last seen. I read about how Veronika and Wesley started to hustle and sell and buy drugs to gain the help of office Payne. They had no idea that Liam, Louis and Dominick worked undercover for Romanov. It’s all so complicated
.
“Em, it’s getting late. How about we get some sleep ok?” Harry says

“Um yeah, I’m just gonna put these in the bag too” I tell him

I all Tessa and Niall answers the phone.

“Hiya! You guys make it ok?”

“Yeah we did, Hey can I talk to Tess?” I ask

“What do ya say first?”

“FINE! I love you Niall, you are the best friend ever” I say

“Ok here’s Tess”

“Hey girl… did ya find the files?” she asks right off the bat

“Oh um yeah how’d you?” I start

“Daddy always said if you ever needed help to send you to his house and the files would explain everything.” She tells me

“Yeah, I’ll explain everything later. I just wanted to let you know we are safe and going to go to Atlanta tomorrow to visit my Mamaw” I tell her

We talk for a few moments before I hand the phone to Harry so he can talk to Niall. They talk for about ten minutes before he hangs up.

“What’d Niall say?” I ask

“He said that Romanov has been in the news. He’s killed three people and sent a note to the NYPD stating that he will keep killing until he has you or the list”

I’m speechless, I don’t know what to do or say; so I just cry.

“Baby don’t cry. Everything will be fine.” Harry says wiping my tears with his thumb.

He grabs my hands and leads me up to the bedroom. He leaves so I can change into something to sleep in while he goes to set the alarm. When he gets back I’m already in bed. I didn’t find anything to wear so I just crawl into bed in my bra and panties. Harry comes in and shuts off the big light. When he pulls the covers back he sort of yelps in surprise.

“Emerson what the hell?”

“huh?” I say

“Why didn’t you change into some clothes?”

“Oh I couldn’t find anything but dress shirts” I tell him

“Well Jesus, so you just crawl into bed almost naked… here” Harry takes off his shirt and hands it to me.

I stand up and pull the t-shirt over my head. Harry just stares at me before pulling me down onto the bed. He leans over me and kisses me passionately on the mouth.

“I love you Emerson” he tells me

“I love you too Harry.”
