I was the last person to see my father alive.
I was the one who drove him to the airport, and I was the one who picked him up a week later.
I was the one who took him home, and I was the one who made him dinner.
And I was the one who found his body in a pool of blood, shot twice in the chest.
The police said it was a robbery gone wrong, but I knew it wasn’t.
My father’s wallet and watch were still on him when I found him, and nothing else in his house had been touched.
The killer had come for my father, and he’d killed him in cold blood.
For five years, my husband David sat in prison for my father’s murder.
He’d been convicted on circumstantial evidence, but it was enough to put him away for life without parole.
But now new forensic evidence had come to light that proved David’s innocence.
I stood in my father's study, the room untouched since his death.
The air was thick with dust and memories.
His old desk, cluttered with papers, held the essence of his work and life.
I picked up a framed photo of us together, the edges worn from years of handling.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I traced the outline of his face with my finger.
"Elizabeth," a cold voice interrupted my thoughts.
I turned to see Doug standing in the doorway, his presence as imposing as ever.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, his tone laced with irritation.
"I'm just... remembering," I replied, placing the photo back on the desk.
"Why reopen old wounds?" Doug stepped into the room, his eyes scanning the clutter. "You should let the past go."
My anger flared. "Let it go? How can I let it go when my husband spent five years in prison for a crime he didn't commit?"
Doug's eyes narrowed, his charm slipping away to reveal something darker. "Be careful, Elizabeth. Digging up the past can be dangerous."
"Is that a threat?" I challenged, stepping closer to him. "Or are you just worried about what I might find?"
He smirked, but there was no warmth in it. "I'm just giving you some friendly advice."
I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. "Friendly advice? You benefited from my father's death more than anyone else. Don't pretend you care about me or my family."
Doug's expression hardened. "You're treading on thin ice."
"I don't care," I shot back. "I will find out who killed my father, even if it means exposing your secrets."
He took a step closer, his voice low and menacing. "You have no idea what you're getting yourself into."
"Maybe not," I admitted, meeting his gaze without flinching. "But I'm not going to stop until I find the truth."
Doug stared at me for a moment longer before turning on his heel and leaving the room.
I let out a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding.
My hands were shaking, but my resolve was stronger than ever.
I knew I had to dig deeper, even if it meant confronting Doug's dark secrets.
I walked over to my father's desk and started sifting through the papers.
There had to be something here, some clue that would lead me to the truth.
As I searched, a sense of determination washed over me.
I was doing this for my father, for David, and for myself.
No matter what it took, I would uncover the truth behind my father's murder.
Suddenly, I heard a noise behind me.
I turned around quickly, but there was no one there.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I realized I wasn't alone in the house.
Before I could react, a hand clamped over my mouth and an arm wrapped around my waist.
I struggled against my attacker, but they were too strong.
Panic surged through me as I was dragged out of the study and down the hallway.
Whoever this was, they didn't want me finding out the truth either.
Doug's footsteps thundered behind me.
I reached the door, fumbling with the lock.
Doug grabbed my arm, yanking me back.
"You won't ruin everything!" he snarled.
I twisted, kicking him hard in the shin.
He stumbled, giving me a moment to unlock the door and dash outside.
The cold night air hit my face as I sprinted down the driveway.
I heard Doug shouting, but I didn't look back.
My mind raced with fear and determination.
I needed to find David and tell him everything.
The moonlight cast eerie shadows on the gravel path leading to the main road.
My breath came out in ragged gasps as I pushed myself to run faster.
The sound of Doug's angry shouts grew fainter behind me, but I knew he wouldn't give up easily.
I reached the end of the driveway and darted onto the dimly lit street.
The neighborhood was quiet, most houses dark with their occupants asleep.
My eyes scanned for any sign of movement or a passing car that could help me.
Suddenly, headlights appeared in the distance.
I waved my arms frantically, hoping the driver would see me and stop.
The car slowed down as it approached, and I felt a glimmer of hope.
The vehicle came to a halt beside me, and the window rolled down to reveal an elderly woman with kind eyes.
"Are you alright, dear?" she asked, concern etched on her face.
"Please," I panted, "I need help. Someone's after me."
Without hesitation, she unlocked the passenger door.
"Get in quickly."
I scrambled into the car, slamming the door shut behind me.
"Thank you," I gasped. "Please drive. Just drive."
She nodded and pressed her foot on the accelerator.
As we sped away, I glanced out the rear window and saw Doug standing at the end of the driveway, his face contorted with rage.
"Where do you need to go?" the woman asked gently.
"I need to get to my house," I replied, giving her my address. "It's not far from here."
She nodded again and turned onto a main road.
"My name is Margaret," she said softly. "You're safe now."
"Thank you, Margaret," I said, my voice trembling with relief. "I'm Elizabeth."
We drove in silence for a few minutes until we reached my house.
Margaret pulled up to the curb and stopped the car.
"Do you want me to wait with you?" she offered.
"No," I said, shaking my head. "I'll be alright now. Thank you so much for your help."
She smiled warmly.
"Take care of yourself, Elizabeth."
I stepped out of the car and watched as she drove away before turning towards my front door.
My hands were still shaking as I unlocked it and slipped inside.
The house was dark and quiet, but I felt a sense of safety wash over me now that I was home.
I needed to contact David immediately and tell him what had happened.
I grabbed my phone from the kitchen counter and dialed his number with trembling fingers.
It rang twice before he picked up.
"Elizabeth?" David's voice was filled with concern. "What's wrong?"
"David, it's Doug. He's—"
Before I could finish, the line went dead.
Panic surged through my veins.
I realized someone had cut the power.
The house plunged into darkness, and I heard footsteps approaching.
I fumbled in the kitchen drawer for a flashlight, my fingers trembling.
Finally, I found it and clicked it on, casting a narrow beam of light in front of me.
The footsteps grew louder, echoing ominously in the silent house.
I moved silently towards the back door, my breath coming in shallow gasps.
I reached for the doorknob, turning it slowly to avoid making any noise.
The door creaked open, and I slipped into the backyard, closing it quietly behind me.
The night was cold and still, the air crisp against my skin.
I hid behind a large oak tree, its rough bark pressing into my back.
My breath came in shallow gasps as I watched Doug's silhouette moving through the house, searching for me.
His shadowy figure passed by the window, pausing momentarily as if sensing my presence.
I held my breath, willing myself to stay hidden.
Doug moved away from the window, and I exhaled slowly.
I knew I had to find David and expose Doug before it was too late.
But first, I needed to get out of here without being seen.
I crouched low and began to move along the edge of the yard, keeping to the shadows.
The flashlight's beam was dimming, and I prayed it would last long enough for me to find a safe place to hide.
Suddenly, a twig snapped underfoot, and I froze.
Doug's head whipped around in my direction, his eyes scanning the darkness.
"Elizabeth!" he called out, his voice filled with anger.
"I know you're out here!"
I stayed perfectly still, hoping he wouldn't see me.
He took a few steps closer to where I was hiding.
My heart raced as I considered my options.
If he found me now, there would be no escape.
Just then, a car drove by on the street behind our house.
Its headlights briefly illuminated the backyard.
Doug turned towards the light, momentarily distracted.
Seizing the opportunity, I bolted from my hiding spot and sprinted towards the neighbor's fence.
I climbed over it quickly and dropped down on the other side.
My neighbor's yard was dark and quiet.
I crouched behind some bushes, trying to catch my breath.
Doug's voice carried over the fence.
"Elizabeth! You can't hide forever!"
His frustration was palpable.
I needed to get further away.
Staying low, I made my way through my neighbor's yard and onto another street.
The neighborhood was eerily quiet at this hour.
Most houses were dark with their occupants asleep.
I spotted a payphone at the corner of the street.
It seemed like an ancient relic in this digital age but right now it was my lifeline.
I ran towards it and picked up the receiver with shaking hands.
I dialed David's number again.
This time he answered on the first ring.
"Elizabeth? Are you okay?"
"David," I whispered urgently.
"It's Doug. He cut the power and he's looking for me."
There was a brief silence on his end before he spoke again.
"Where are you?"
"I'm at a payphone on Elm Street," I replied quickly.
"Stay there," he said firmly.
"I'm coming to get you."
"Hurry," I pleaded before hanging up.
As I waited for David, every passing minute felt like an eternity.
My eyes darted around nervously at every sound or movement in the shadows.
Finally, headlights appeared at the end of the street.
David's car pulled up beside me and he jumped out immediately.
He wrapped his arms around me tightly as soon as he reached me.
"Thank God you're safe," he murmured into my hair.
"We need to go," I urged him urgently.
"Doug won't stop until he finds us."
David nodded grimly and led me back to his car.
We got in quickly and sped away from Elm Street.
"We need to find somewhere safe where we can figure out our next move," David said as he drove.
I nodded in agreement but kept glancing nervously out of the window for any sign of Doug following us.
