Falling For The Alpha King novel Chapter 20

“Sheriff Webb? I thought it wasn't you who knocked on my windshield," Scott said as he helped Lisa out of the car. Then, the girl stood beside Scott.

“Mr. Scott Hanson. Why are you here?” asked Sheriff Webb, surprised.

"I'm on a date with Lisa. Isn't tonight a Sunday night, a time for young people to date and have fun? Then, why are you here?” Scott answered as he asked Lisa to put on her sweater.

"Lisa Conway, are you Dorothy's granddaughter?" asked Sheriff Webb, trying to get a better look at Lisa's face.

"Good evening, Sheriff. I'm Lisa Conway, Dorothy's granddaughter," the girl replied.

"Oh so now you two are dating," Sheriff Webb said with a smile.

“Sheriff, you haven't answered my question. What are you doing on this hill? Isn't this hill for young people on a date?" asked Scott a second time.

“Ah sorry, at the crossroads earlier, I saw a car running from the center of the city towards the forest at high speed. What made me a little suspicious was why was he heading towards the forest on a cold night like this? Then, I took the initiative to follow him, unexpectedly the car turned this way and I lost track of him. Coincidentally, the car that the person is driving is similar to yours. And when I saw your car parked on the edge of the hill, I wanted to know if you were that person or not? Turns out, I've lost track of him," replied Sheriff Webb, annoyed.

“Don't most of the townspeople have a car that looks like mine? Maybe what you see is the act of young people who are looking to explore the forest. Just let them go," Scott said.

"No, that's not the case. What I saw in the car was a mature man. I am sure of it. And the forest has been closed since the case of several people being killed for no apparent reason. We're still investigating the cause of their death, was it due to a beast attack or an attack by some unknown creatures? I need more evidence. Alright, since I found out that the guy wasn't here, I'll be leaving right away. Sorry to bother you," Sheriff Webb said goodbye.

“Be careful on the road, Sheriff. Good night. Bye," Scott said, waving his hand at Sheriff Webb.

“You guys also be careful. Hurry home before midnight," answered Sheriff Webb as he left the two of them behind.

Then, Scott turned and looked at Lisa who was apparently standing behind him. The man was surprised, then he asked, "Lisa, are you okay?"

Lisa looked into Scott's face and replied, “I'm fine. It's just, I just realized that it's very quiet here and we are alone. We'd better get out of here."

"Are you scared?" Scott asked with a smile.

"Yes. We're far from the crowds and it seems like this place is secluded.”

“Indeed this place is far from the crowds and secluded. Because this place is usually used by couples for dating. Soon this place will be quite crowded. But, if you insist, fine. Let's get out of here," said Scott.

Then they both got into the car. Lisa sat next to Scott looking out the window. It was dark and so quiet around them. There is no one other than them. Not long after, Scott's car drove away from the edge of the hill toward the center of town.

Along the way, Lisa was silent and looked out the window. Scott who realized this, took the girl's hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lisa turned her head and replied, "I'm fine."

"Then why are you silent?" asked Scott.
