Chapter 7 - chapter 7

Zach didn't stop running and the police never stopped chasing but he was never found.

Around 3 months later.

The police were still investigating but found no source of evidence of where he had gone, all they had to go off of was the photos of the sinners, his traces in the forest and every so often when someone would hand in a video tape of him walking into a gas station. I bet your wondering how Max is? Well, you probably weren't wondering but he's not doing well... he hasn't come out of his room in 5 days, I'm starting to worry about him. I decided to knock on his door and try to convince him to go out for dinner, *knock knock knock* there was no reply so I slightly opened his door "Max?" no reply so I opened the door and walked in "Max?" he wasn't here... I began to rush around the house searching for him in every room when I came across a door slightly open, I walked in and I see max with the biggest under bags he looks like he hasn't slept in weeks. "M-max?" he slowly turned and looked at me I felt a wave of guilt wash over me as he looks like he's on the verge of breaking down. He ran to me hugging me as he cried into my shoulder, I hugged him back knowing how he feels, I helped him back to his room and I told him to get some rest and soon enough I came back with a plate full of food and I made him eat because I wasn't going to just let him starve himself.

While Max was asleep my phone rang as I picked up, I heard that exact groan I did a few months prior. I let out a startled gasp then I felt eyes on me again, I didn't want to make Max fear more but I really couldn't handle the feeling so I ran up to him and hung up the phone, they unknown caller called back instantly and Max tracked the caller's location. It was Zach, Zach was here, he was at our house. Before we knew the police were here searching the house every inch every corner, they couldn't find him.

Before the police left, they explained how they got here without any calls, apparently, they tracked him from another city, he was living in an apartment and was planning to kill me and Max!
