Chapter 36

"We gotta get the driver out first!" Kelly exclaimed

We were at another scene. Car accident in front of a bank, and these two people were really jammed inside the car. While the others from the other car were able to be taken out. I went around to the other side of the car. The passenger wasn't passed out yet but the driver was. I leaned my head in closer and noticed something that caught my eye

"Why the hell is this car on neutral?!" I slightly yelled

"What?" Kelly asked from the other side of the car

"The car is on neutral. Why is the car on neutral?" I asked looking at the passenger

She was shaken up. She couldn't speak, she just kept sobbing. Okay dumb question to ask her. I moved along the car to where the trunk was. Camille, Matt, and Joe were beside the car "Hey, guys why don't we back it up. The cars on neutral, we gotta be careful. I've got the passenger" I explained

Matt and Joe nodded as they backed up and went to go get equipment to help. But Camille didn't go along. I turned my back to walk to the passenger when Camille stepped in front of me taking my spot where I once was "Hey, Camille I got this" I said

She shook her head "I've got this one"

"Did you not just hear me before that I've got this? Go help at the truck" I demanded. My voice sounding stern

She stepped onto me making me take a few steps back to where I was now next to the trunk "I've got this. I'm the candidate, let me have this one" She gave me a slight push that I'm sure looked like something else. I stumbled on my feet making me fall backwards. I fell right behind the trunk. Then I notice the car beginning to move back. Note to self it was a small car. I was trying to crawl backwards but the car was moving to quickly. I heard shouting, my eyes widen when the car was coming in closer. I was halfway under it, I could feel the underneath of the car pressing against my equipment I had strapped onto my uniform

Then thankfully finally the car began to move away from me "Hey, you good?" Mills came after me by my side and helped me stand after the car was completely off

I breathed in and out as I have Camille who had a smirk on her face a death glare "Yea, I'm good" I gave him a nod and everyone returned back to their duties. I walked over to the truck and grabbed a water bottle. I leaned against the truck as I unscrewed the bottle cap and chugged a good amount of water. I could feel it as I swallowed the water traveling down. I watched as they took out the driver and passenger safely. I cleared my throat as Kelly approached me

"You alright?"

I nodded and screwed on the bottle cap "I'm good"

"With all of our movement on the car, that's what made the car begin to move backwards" He explained

Bullshit "I'll make sure to put that in my report" I said sarcastically

I could see he wanted to say something but he knew not to pick a fight with me. He simply gave a nod and walked away. I moved my eyes to Camille who was talking to Gabby. They were walking this way. I hadn't realized I was at truck 81 "That was a good save on the passenger. Nice job" Gabby complimented as they walked right past me

I rolled my eyes. I've had enough of this shit. She pushed me on purpose and moved the car right to me. After we got back I took off my big uniform. I began walking to the main room while everyone was getting settled. I walked to my bed and began to write my report. It took nearly an hour but I just needed some finishing touches

"Hey, how's the report coming?" Kelly asked approaching me

I didn't look up "Good, just a few more things" I kept writing. Once I was done I put my pen down and handed the report to him making eye contact with him. He grabbed the report but I didn't let go

"What do you think happened out there with the car?" I asked not letting go of the report or eye contact

"I told you, with all our movement it moved the car back"

I scoffed "Right. What about Camille, what was she doing?"

He took a couple seconds to answer "I don't know Ali, I wasn't focused on her"

I gave a nod. Because no one ever sees the evil things she does to me. I let go of the report and he retrieved it. He turned about to walk away but turned back around to me "Look, I know you and Camille are still going after each other. But all of that was in the past. Move past it. Why can't you see it? Just let it go"

I didn't respond and he turned around to walk to his office. I gave a huff. Okay that's it. I stood up and walked to the main room where I knew Camille was. I walked in to see her laughing with Gabby and Brett "Camille" I called out. She turned her head to me "Can I talk to you?"

She nodded and gave the girls a smile before she stood up and walked after me. We walked into the conference room and I closed the door behind me. She turned around to me and gave a smile "What's up?"

"Cut the crap Camille. I know what you did back there at the scene. You pushed me on purpose and pushed the car so it can run over me" My voice sounded serious. Hell I am

She slightly chuckled "Your delusional. I was simply trying to save a victim. I didn't push you nor push the car"

I could see that look in her eyes. I knew she did it "Why in the hell do you have it out for me? Are you still hanging onto the past? Just let it go Camille. That was a long time ago"

She crossed her arms and scoffed "Oh please. You've had it out for me since I got here. But you know what, I have secrets that will make you feel pain" She let out a smirk

"Why do you have it out for me? Seriously Camille?" I asked

She took a few steps towards me "You don't like the fact that I won"

"What's the prize? Getting me out of this house? Playing mind games with my fiancée so he will leave me? That's not gonna happen. There's nothing you can say or do to make me leave any one of those" I kept my face straight

Her smile for even larger "You wanna bet?"

I scoffed "What lies are you carrying around Camille?"

"Why don't you ask your brother and fiancée? I heard them earlier talking. And they were talking about some guy named Julian Price? He apparently escaped from prison"

I could feel my hands getting sweaty, the hairs standing on the back of my neck when she said Julian's name. I entire expression changed

"And you know, they both were very secretive. Jay kept asking Kelly to keep it a secret from someone. You" She gave a devil smile

I shook my head "Your lying" I could feel my throat becoming dry

"Why don't you ask them? I mean I would feel pretty bad if the man I was going to marry in a couple weeks lied to me about the man who almost killed me"

Fury ran throughout my veins. I turned around and exploded through the door. It was already the end of shift and I didn't bother to grab my bag. I simply flashed to my car and drove home. Why in the hell would Jay lie to me? And Kelly? But most of all Julian escaped. The man who almost killed me. The man who ruined my life. He was out, roaming the streets. Once I got home I stormed up to the apartment and opened the door. I went straight for the kitchen knowing he would be inside snacking on something. I found him behind the kitchen counter chopping up some food. He looked up at me with a smile but soon it turned into a frown when he noticed the expression on my face. He set down the knife and appeared over the counter

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked

He stood a couple steps from me but I held my hand up "Don't" I took my right foot and step it back

"Alison, what's going on? What's wrong?" He asked concerned

I could feel tears beginning to fill up. Wanting to emerge but I held them back best I could "Is it true?"

"Is what true? Ali talk to me what's going on?" He tried taking another step but I kept my hand up

I almost choked on the words "Did Julian escape prison?"

I could see his cheeks getting red. His expression changed, from worried, to guilty. I knew it. But I wanted to hear it from him
