AN – All right here it is… the last chapter. I figured I was just dragging this story along. IF you want who knows maybe I will write a sequel to it, let me know what you all want in a review. But here it is the end of Interesting Revelations.

I think I kind of rushed the end in... however when I was writing it, this is how it came to me. At the end I am going to explain something for everyone... so if you are confused about anything read the end note before asking me for any explanation.


Ch. 35

Max was playing with Ella in the nursery when she heard footsteps walking around out in the living room. Automatically she assumed Kenny was up and picked Ella up from her play gym. When she heard the loud thud she frowned and headed cautiously towards the door. She was about to lock the door when it flew open and Max’s eyes went wide.

“What do you want?” She asked clutching Ella to her chest.

“It’s time for me to teach you a lesson Maxine. It’s time you learn that all of your actions have consequences.” The man said as he pointed a gun at Max. With Ella securely in her arms there was nothing she could do but follow his orders. She bit her bottom lip as she slowly walked into the living room where she saw Kenny unconscious on the floor. His gun was lying inches away from him, almost like he had attempted to take out the guy but was to late.

“Kenny.” Max whispered worriedly.

“Set Ella on the couch Maxine.” He ordered her as he kicked away Kenny’s gun. “Then I want you to handcuff this nice deputy to the table and tie up his legs. Once that’s finished we can talk properly about all the things you have done wrong that you must be punished for.”

“Where do I know you from?” Max asked setting Ella in between some pillows and then taking the handcuffs and following orders. Her eyes were on the gun that was pointed at Ella. Any wrong move could prove fatal for her daughter.

“Don’t worry you’ll find out. I expect that I won’t be leaving this house alive. It’s up to whether those two get to leave it alive or not.” He snarled evenly. After seeing Kenny chained up he threw rope at her and told her to tie her own legs up. When that was done he handcuffed her hands behind her and then took a seat on a chair.

“Please just tell me what this is about.” Max said knowing full well that there was no way to let anyone know what was going on. She was going to have to find her own way out of this mess and soon.


Jimmy frowned after reading over the report that had just found it’s way to his desk. He had just been informed that one of the names on the list belonged to a man who had been treated in mental ward. The man had escaped two weeks before the killings in Rome had started. Jimmy slammed the report down on his desk and leaned back in his chair.

“Sheriff we finally got an updated photo of our guy.” One of his deputies stated coming into his office with a picture in his hand.

Jimmy glanced at the photo and sucked in a deep breath. He had seen this guy around. He had even had coffee with him at one of the diners. The fact was he had been played big time. Jimmy tried not to feel angry about the fact that this man had gotten close to him, but he did. He recalled his injuries and hospital stay, his daughter turning on everyone and Max’s kidnapping. Now it was time to finally catch this guy and end it all.


Max sat with her eyes glued to the man sitting just inches away from her. She knew that panicking would get her nowhere but she couldn’t help but feel horrible about the situation that her helpless daughter was in.

“Look I understand you are upset with me. But Ella didn’t do anything to you. She is completely innocent in this whole thing, please let her go.” Max pleaded.

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” The man said shaking his head simply.

Max heard someone groan and she looked over and saw Kenny coming to. She waited until he realized he couldn’t move before clearing her throat to get his attention. When he finally realized that both of them were tied up he struggled more against his binds.

“Welcome to Kenny. This is party time and now it’s the time when we finally get a few things straight.” The man said laughing.

“Let my wife and daughter go.” Kenny said lowly.

“Or what?” He said pointing the gun at Kenny. Sighing he fired the gun and the bullet struck Kenny in the shoulder.

Max screamed as she watched Kenny jerk back and slam further into the table. She struggled against her binds as Ella started screaming at the loud banging noise. Max turned towards Ella and then noticed the man was become increasingly angry. Something was off about him, something was incredibly off.

“Please let me have my hands free and I can calm her down.” Max pleaded as he headed towards the screaming infant.

“To late for that. I hate screaming babies.” The man said as he pointed the gun at the baby.

Max screamed as a shot rang out and she started crying hysterically. She closed her eyes not wanting to see what she was sue she was going to see. She heard a loud thud and then she passed out completely.


Max woke up and looked around her. She smiled when she saw Jill and then frowned when she remembered what happened. She tried to sit up but Jill stopped her.

“You need to rest, your little one is going to need a fully recovered mom.” Jill said with a smile.

“Ella?” Max asked confused.

“She’s gonna be just fine. She was just a little shook up with everything going on but she is unharmed.” Jill said with a shrug.

“But I heard the shot.” Max said confused.

“The SWAT team sniper for the state troopers shot your suspect.” Jill said matt of factly.

“It’s over?” Max asked not daring to believe it.

“It’s over.” Jill nodded.

“Kenny?” Max asked struggling to sit up again.

“He’s fine. The bullet was a through and through so they are stitching him up. He was more worried about you.” Jill said once again pushing her back down.

“Who was he?” Max asked wanting the full report on everything.

“I’ll let Jimmy tell you that when he gets a chance.” Jill said smiling.


A few days later Max and Kenny were sitting a hotel room. They both refused to go back to the house, the place where so much had gone wrong. Ella was fast asleep in the portable crib Jill had brought over for them and they were trying to digest everything.

“So let me get this straight. I never really dated him, he asked me out and I told him no. Then he was admitted to the mental ward for stalking three other women, whom he ended up killing. When did he become obsessed with me?” Max asked confused.

“There was a news story on one of the TV’s in the ward, he recognized you and became instantly fascinated with you.” Kenny said shrugging his shoulders.

“So how did he escape?” Max asked confused even more.

“No one knows that part. He’s dead Maxine, it means there are no more problems. They managed to track down where he was staying and they found a bunch of pictures as well as everything they needed to tie him to all of the murders.” Kenny told her.

“And Lana?” Max asked confused.

“She’s back home and fine.” Kenny said with a smile. “Everything is going to be back to normal.”

“Normal as can be.” Max laughed. “Now we just need to buy a new house and raise a child.”

“Children.” Kenny said and he started laughing himself.

End AN - okay here is the deal... Jimmy got suspicious after reading the report on the guy and after seeing who it was... He checked with some people and they remembered seeing him heading towards Max's place. The WAT team was already there just in case they ever found the guy, they were part of the task force.

Any other questions feel free to ask.
