I cleared my throat and had the assistant follow me to the uncomfortable seats in the world. “So you’re the assistant that jer- I mean Henry’s assistant whom he talked about. Nice to meet you.”
“Bradley, Bradley Fowler. But you can call me Brad for short. Nice to meet you too, Ellie. Well, I can say nice to meet you again.” He smiled. That was the same smile he gave me that day. But his eyes seemed more alive this time.
“How did you know my name?”
“I do work here. Don’t I? May I say you have a good record.” Brad smiled slightly and wobbled away towards the stage as I stood there, creeped out. I told the actors to go over scene fifteen because it needs some work. I looked over to get approval from Brad. He nodded and then examined me up and down. Why does Henry attract weirdos? I felt a beam of eyes burning my cheek; why? When I took a peek to my right, Brad’s eye was on me. Can I call the police if someone looks at me?
He chuckled as he flipped the script. It was like he knew what I thought. So, I scooted an inch over and began to direct. After two hours of this, I had to break people for lunch. Everyone decided to go out while I stayed here in the auditorium. With the murders happening, I can’t trust the outside. “Do you always eat alone?” Brad said.
“No. Right now, it is too dangerous, and where they are going, I don’t want to.” I returned to my lunch and chose to ignore him for the rest of this peacefulness. But, he wanted to keep the conversation and explain how he doesn’t like being around people as they can be unrealistic. Speak for himself.
Out of nowhere, he told me how pretty I was and how my work was extraordinary beyond comparison. I quickly turned around because I was blushing like crazy, and don’t know why. When I glanced back, he was blushing, too, with his dull eyes. I tried to get back to work without causing a scene. After the break, the rest of the day went back fast. I never thought it would end as we did nine hours of rehearsing. Everyone was exhausted at this point. I headed back to the dressing room, thinking about the whole day. It was awkward as hell. However, I see why Henry does not bring him around– something is off about him.
~ Brad ~
My eyes were glued on to Ellie as she was leaving the building. I gathered my stuff and headed home; I hummed down the street as I strolled along. The sky was clear, but the air was thick. Good thing I wore a mask today because this air wasn’t helping my lungs. Before entering the house, I dropped by my second job for something. I work at a junkyard during the night or times I get a day off. It helps pay these crazy bills. I could not step inside without my staff member running up to me. “Did you get it?” My co-worker said as he bounced up and down.
“Easy there, Minho. Let me relax first before attending to your addiction.” I said as I threw my shit on the chair and snatched some items. “This will last for a while, but do remember, don’t overdose on it.”
Like a crazy schoolgirl, he nodded. I checked the laptop on my desk while switching on the camera. There they were, my beautiful girls, waiting for their kick. My tongue glides across my lips. They looked so delicious. I grabbed Minho before he went down. “Make sure Jennie gets extra. She has been really talkative lately. I don’t like when they speak when I’m doing my business.”
“Yes, sir,” Minho said while doing a little dance.
I stared blankly at my co-worker as he left. I headed to my area and turned on the lights. This place was full of monitors and computers. This is where I keep a very close eye on my products. While I was lying back in the chair, Minho popped on the screen. What the hell is he doing?? I glanced at the cell cameras; the girls were afraid as he approached. His hands were sliding up and down on something. I know he is not— when I looked closer, the hand moved rapidly. He was pleasuring himself in front of my women. He won’t have to die if he does not touch them.
I continued to watch right when I said that he was touching Jennie. Furious, I knocked my chair back and headed down there. He wasn’t ready for what I had in store for him. When he was in my sight, I yanked him by the shirt so fast that he flew backward. Jennie’s screams roared throughout the dungeon.
I slammed the cell door shut. “SHUT THE FUCK UP! One day I will sew that pretty little mouth of yours together. If you don’t want that to happen, then shut up.” I whipped my head towards Minho. I took him by the throat and slammed him against the wall. “What did I say about touching them? You are only allowed when I tell you but otherwise, that... DON’T FUCKING TOUCH!”
“I-I- have to g-give the-them shots.” He struggled to speak.
“You know what I mean, Minho.” I toss him down. He fell on the steel table. He rubbed his back as he gradually got up.
“I’m sorry, Brad. I couldn’t resist. Jennie is just tasty. I couldn’t keep my hands off of her.”
Crossing my arms in annoyance, I gave Minho a break this time. If he needs to relieve himself that badly, I would let him do so. His face lit up as you can hear whimpers from Jennie’s cell. She hides in the corner of her bed to prevent anything from happening to her. Minho opens the cell door and approaches the scared girl. I grabbed a chair to watch the scene unfold.
Minho kisses her forehead. One thing that I liked was that he was gentle with the girls. His hands slid against Jennie’s back as he brought her closer to him. The clothes began to come off one by one.
Minho fingered Jennie, she tried to hold back her moans, but they leaked out with every stroke. “You like that baby girl,” Minho said as he sucked on her boobs. You can hear a ‘squish’ sound as he pumps back and forth in Jennie’s womanhood. She struggled to get Minho off, but he pressed hard to pin her.
He lifted her arms and tied them onto the post. Screaming in pain, Minho climbed over her, still rubbing her clit. After a while, he licked his fingers. “You taste so good. Now that you are ready, it’s time for him to enter you.”
More struggles occurred as he unzipped his hands. Spreading her legs wide, he entered her. She screamed in pain as he ‘popped’ her cherry. At first little strokes were made, but I told him to go faster. You can see on my face that jealousy rolled in. I was supposed to take her virginity. But Minho needed to be released, and I can’t be greedy. The bed shook as his moves became faster. Her screams became moans.
“I see you starting to like it, Jennie,” I said.
“Noo! Please, it hurts... please stop!”
“He will stop once he finishes inside of you.” Her eyes widen as she makes contact with my dull ones. Minho moans were heard as well. Legs went around him due to him pressing his body against hers. The strokes became deeper, hitting her g-spot. The other prisoner leaned on the bars, trying to see what was happening. Biting his lower lips, I looked over at her. “You want some too, baby girl?”
Shaking her head, she backed up from the doors. The chains rattled as she sat on the bed. Without noticing, the doors opened, and the girl pleaded for her life. “No, please... I’m sorry for looking; I just.”
SMACK.
“This is why we give you this drug. It’s for you to keep that mouth closed, but I want that mouth to attend to this.” I pointed to the erection. Both girls were pleasing people who have sick minds.
After work, I walked to Evan's job, and as I was walking, I was stopped by some cops. "Excuse me, miss?" the officer said as he rolled down the window. "I haven't seen anything or anyone, officer. I just got off of work." The officer laughed, "I wouldn't ask you about that. I was going to ask you if you like a ride. It's dangerous for you to walk alone after 6." He smiled."That's okay; I can handle myself. I'm headed to my brother's job, which is right there. But thanks for the offer." "Of course, but for now on, have your brother come and pick you up. We have issued a missing woman report, and we need you to be cautious." The officer kept his eyes on me as he rolled up the window. A missing person?? That is too many people this month. I shook my head in disappointment and continued my walk. As I got closer, I texted my brother. The Annoying One: I'm here; come down to the lobby so we can leave.Big Head: Just come up; I have two more meetings before going home. He told me that
~ Kevin ~I woke up the following day fresh and calm. It was going to be a good day. When I got to work, I limped to my desk, and you could hear my back crack as I sat down. Ouch. She did it too hard last night. "What happened to you?" a co-worker pointed out. "Had a wild night with my girlfriend. We both had some stress that needed to be taken care of." "Shit, at least you get some ass. I am just sitting there while she talks on the phone. Anyways, you asked to bring Henry in? For what?" He asked as he got up from his desk. "Don't we already have a description of her?""You will see. I want to talk to him about something." I said while tapping my desk while sipping on my coffee. Ten minutes rolled by, and an officer with Henry behind him came. His face was blank, and his eyes were dark. I took a tissue and handed it to him. Has he been crying?I did not know why I asked because I knew he was missing his wife. He answered with a sarcastic comment. I was doing my job; no need for the
“What are you doing here??” I said with confusion. “You know him?” Kaylee asked. I mentioned we work together at the theater, and he was my boss's assistant. Who knew he worked here out of all places? We stared at each other in shock. This asshole knew about my job offer the whole time and acted like I was in the wrong. Hypocrite. Without paying me any attention after that stare-off, he stepped right over me and asked for an office key. One of the computers needs tuning. “That’s right. A new software update will be added to his computer.” Kaylee said as she grabbed the keys. Brad thanked her and walked away, giving me a deep stare. Once that door closed, my eyes went straight to Kaylee. Should I be worried about him here too?? The boss laughed and stated he was only here when needed; otherwise that he would be on the ground floor. I sighed in relief and was given a task. I was to greet everyone.With a simple nod, I was handed a clipboard. I walked through the halls; I saw Brad wor
~ Evan~ I sat down in my chair once my sister and Kevin left. My mind is in a bind with the words she had said. Did they check her computer for hints or clues? What will be on her laptop that will help? The only thing she has is files– I hope. Who has she been messaging? I begin to tap my desk with frustration. Maybe… I should. No, wait, I shouldn't. That is still her privacy. However, Ellie saw something we didn’t.I sat there like a lost puppy, trying to figure out what to do. As I was lost in thought, Ryan came through the doors all happy and shit. What is he so happy for, and why is he not home?? Somehow he got permission to stay late to finish his presentation. When did interns get night shifts?? “Easy, especially when seven younger siblings run around the house. I can’t get anything done with them. A night shift won’t hurt.” He stated.Since he is here, I can use him for something. "Hey Ryan, you want to do some snooping with me?" I asked in a weird tone. His eyes lit up with i
I didn’t waste any time; I called Nate right now. “NATE!! DID YOU SEE THE FUCKING NEWS!!” I screamed. There was a pause on the phone. I knew he had to collect himself from internal bleeding.“Okay. Now that I could hear again. Calmly tell me,” he said."Dude, Henry is dead!"The mind filled the empty silence. Only breathing was the only thing that came through the phone. This will take some time to process, so I waited. "How in the fuckery fuck did that happen??? He was the one that told us about the fucking theater being closed. That was fucking fast as hell" How? Who is bold enough to kill in broad daylight? Is this the same person who has been kidnapping women? While talking, my phone buzzed.BFF Aria: My plane will be arriving; I hope you are there to greet me; love.Aria's Baby Girl: I will be leaving the house now; I will give you the biggest hug of your lifeI hung up the phone and grabbed my bag. As I drove to the airport, my thoughts bounced off the halls. I couldn't stay sti
~ Kevin ~Finally, I talked to Bailey’s friends to discover what happened that night. They are key evidence right now to get a new lead. As I got up and stretched, I slumped to the bathroom. However, it was locked— I waited ten minutes to see Ellie come out. "Three people, one bathroom. I love you, babe, but don't take too long, okay." I said.Moving out of the way, I went inside to freshen up for work. Once ready, I grabbed my things, got in the car, and drove off. I didn’t want to be bothered by chaos, so I got coffee before heading to my desk. "Good morning, detective." A co-worker said with a smile on his face."Morning, do we have the girls on deck?""Yep, they got here a while ago. Her friends are quite interesting, I may add." He stated.I stared at him strangely and went to settle in before the interview. I needed to clear my mind before receiving this information. I took a deep breath and clocked in. I was ready for the witnesses. Dazed and confused, they enter the area. Thei
~ Ellie ~We were dead silent as Aria, and I looked at him intensely. "What do you mean you were there?? What happened?" I asked."Do not get the wrong idea. I was with him before the event and figured he would do something like this.My mind was blown at the moment. When the crosswalk turned green, we lost him in the crowd. Concerned, we only let each other go once we entered the building. Aria's jaw dropped as she looked around. "This place is absolutely beautiful!! Isn't that a new character for the upcoming horror game!!" she said, pointing to a poster on a wall. I smiled as I wiped my ID to get us inside. All you can see is Aria taking pictures. "What do you do here?" she asked.She will find out sooner. The elevator doors opened to reveal a busy floor. The secretary greeted us and gave Aria a visitor pass. She mentioned that Kaylee would return with a task, so we must wait. "THE Kaylee Waston!?!?! One of the most famous businesswomen in the world!! Not only that, she is one of t
“You know my brother had nothing to do with this. You leave him out of it.”She snickered at my statement and leaned back.”You are the one that said to run a background check on my workers— he is one of them. Isn’t it weird that Evan is the only person to see this guy and can't describe him? Your brother was present when the event happened; isn't that suspicious."I didn’t want to believe her, but she made valid points. "What about Ryan? I heard he saw the person too. Wasn't he here as well?" I asked my boss as I was looking at her up and down. Kaylee explains that Ryan only peeks at the person where Evan started. She also said that Ryan was with her during the time so that she could rule the intern out of the lineup. Slowly heading back to my desk, I thought hard.I know my brother is not a suspect; however, someone is, and they are roaming in this building. Out of curiosity, doesn’t everyone know each other on the floor or recognize each other at least? It is strange how Jennie was
~ A year later ~The sound of an alarm woke me up. I sat up, stretched my sore body, and looked around the room. I saw Kevin clinging to me. "Don't go, babe, please," he pouted and whined."I have to work, Kev. I wish I could stay and give you the attention you need, but I must go.""Why do I always have days off when you work? Not fair." He pouted. With his cute reaction, I kissed him on the forehead and got up for work. While I was in the bathroom, there was something in the mirror. "Something bothering you, my dear sister?" Evan's voice rang out. I spit my water out and stared at my brother's reflection in the glass."Yeah. I'm alright."He walked forward and gave me a "Are you sure" look as he placed his hand on my shoulders. I nodded my head. I wiped extra toothpaste from my mouth and explained it had been a year, and things still felt uneasy. With his warming smile, he ensured everything would be alright. There was nothing to worry about as Brad is dead. I don't need to be afraid
~ Ellie ~We heard a loud snap from above us. The wire splits in half, sending Evan to his demise. I saw my brother’s body flying straight up with the object. The impact is going to be deadly; I know it.“EVAN!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. Aria told me not to move as this rope could end like that. Controlling my movements, tears rolled down my face. I shut my eyes.The elevator smashed into pieces. How did I know? Brawling my eyes out, my body went limp. My only sibling is gone. “Oops, wrong rope,” Brad chuckles. My hands balled into a fist as I started to shake. The laugh needs to shut the fuck up!!!Rapid footsteps were heard, and Minho’s body went flying next to Brad. Where did this officer come from, Brad thought to himself. With his cameras around, he can pinpoint where everyone is at. Good.“Drop your weapon now!!” he yelled.Even though I could see a little, Brad placed his rifle down; then his hands went up in the air. While doing so, he lifts a lever which releases Ari
~ Evan ~I coughed up a black mucus as I got back to my feet. “You girls okay?” I asked. They nodded and dusted themselves off. When everything cleared enough, we saw the stairs engulfed in flames. Panic mode began to corrupt me as I tried to devise a plan.Jennie told me about a back door as he took Ellie and Aria through. She needs to lead the way then. Our lungs were filled with smoke; if we didn’t leave soon, we would die from inhalation. We moved objects out of our way. Once we found light, we rushed out.The black smoke entered the skies, making them cloudy. Another explosion occurred, causing us to lose our balance. Metal and car parts went flying in the air. I covered the girls as they came down. I hope the others made it out in time.“EVAN!!” Brandon ran to me with a hug. He cried in my arms as I hugged him back. John and Kaylee went to help the injured.“Is everyone okay?” Kaylee asked.We all shook our heads at the question. Kaylee searches around to see Ellie, and Aria is
~ Evan ~“What are we looking for?” Kaylee said as he hid behind a wall.“Anything suspicious? If this is not the place, we are screwed, honestly.”We slowly enter the area, looking around to see if anyone is there. The junkyard did have that rust smell like Aria described. My boss paused her movements and ducked down; she pointed to a lit area and a person.“The hell? Where did he come from?” I said.Kaylee quickly moved my mouth to shut me up. I gave her a dirty look, and she removed her hand. We didn’t see him stroll in– so how did he appear like that?? A second later, he is talking to someone, but who?? We wanted to get close, but we kept our distance for now. Brad began to walk towards this large metal container. You wouldn’t notice it at first until you see it from a different angle. “It’s probably where they keep old parts; let’s wait until he returns,” Kaylee mentioned.Brad exited the container and came out empty-handed. We should take a look because that is where they are hi
~ Kevin ~~ After Ellie’s Capture ~My vision was blurry as I opened my eyes. I viewed the area. I didn’t know where I was, so I began to move around. A rattling sound was heard, and my movement felt constricted. “You’re awake! I thought you would never open your eyes. Hello,” a strange voice said.“You.”“Ding ding, you are right! Now come on down and get a prize.” The guy said as he walked up to me. He started playing in my hair. “So nice and soft,” he stated while sniffing it. The person backed up and stared at me. The room was tense as he kept his eyes still. The guy introduced himself as Minho.“What happened to me?? Where am I?!?!” I squirmed around to get the chains loose, but it was useless. Minho chuckled; he thought I was cute for trying. He got a chair and sat in front of me. My body shakes in fear as he tells me about this place.“This is my area to relax. I monitor things here while Brad is away. Like my own little office, nice, isn’t it.” He licked his lips and smiled. W
~ Ellie ~The moon sets, and the sun rises. I woke up in an uncomfortable bed. I wanted to cry as I glanced around my cell. It felt like a dream yesterday. When I looked down, I noticed I was only in my undergarments. When did this happen? Screams were heard from outside my door.“NOO, LET ME GO!”Aria!! That was Aria!! I hopped out of bed but fell straight to the ground. My ankles were chained up. I dragged myself to the door and peeked out. Aria was lying on a metal bed in the middle of the room, with Brad sitting beside her with tools.“Stay still; this will be over in a minute.”I couldn’t see clearly. But I knew I had to do something. “DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!!” I yelled out. My words caught his attention. My eyes blinked once, and he was standing at my cell door. His look had changed; his eyes were cloudy. It had a hint of red in them. He pushed the bars to shut me up.“Surprised that you are awake. Not sore, Ells? I see why Kevin stays with you— your body feels so good. Being
~ Kevin ~~ The Night Before Ellie’s Captured ~As I was getting my shoes on, my coworker walked in. “Are you sure that you should be working? You need to rest after what happened. That wound is not going to heal overnight.” He said.“I will be fine.”“Go home and comfort your girl. Ellie needs you right now.” He gave me a look I couldn’t refuse. I sighed and told him okay. A loud noise scared us as my partner came in like a cheetah explaining he found the first victim’s identity. In disbelief, I followed him to a picture of a nurse. Ellie??“Doesn’t she look like the first victim?” He said, out of breath. I studied the picture closely until it finally came to me. Without a doubt, that is the first victim. I asked if anyone knew her personally and if we could get an interview with them.My coworkers went to find a staff member or a nurse who was close to her. As I waited for their arrival, I stared at the photo again. What a coincidence that they look alike. The nurse popped out of no
The mattress was cold, and the sheets were wet. I still couldn’t believe I was in his gasp after all I did to prevent it. Silence roamed the room until chains filled it. “Ellie.” a soft voice next to me called out.I only knew who spoke once they repeated something. “Jennie? Is that you??”“Oh, Ells. It’s good to hear from you again.” She excitedly said. You could tell she was in pain and could feel the tears running down her cheeks. Was everything okay? She wasn’t hurt too much, was she?? Another voice chimed in; however, they were making sounds. Bailey. Another voice joined, and my heart dropped to the ground.“Eunha!” I shouted. When did she go missing? She wasn’t here for too long, like a day before I arrived. Panic mode set in when I asked about my best friend. Nobody knew anything except she was taken. Disappointed, I crawled back from the cell door. I brought my knees up to my body and placed my head in between. A sharp pain stabbed me out of nowhere. What the hell did he do??
It was pitch black. All you could hear was water drops from the ceiling and the shuffling of feet. I flickered my eyes open to find my vision blurry as I wiggled around, a burning sensation developed on my wrist. Rope, I was restricted from my movements. The ropes held me down to a wooden chair. I began to squirm to loosen them, but no use. My focus shifted upwards to see Brad and his companion.“Whe-where am I?”“Great move that you pulled. But it didn’t get you anywhere but in this chair.” Brad stated. My vision cleared up to see them two smiling. My facial expression froze as Minho walked towards me and bent down to my level.“Nice to meet you again. Sorry about the arm.”My eyes gazed into his soul, my face boiled with anger, and my breathing went silent. I made Minho jump a bit when I scooted forward, coward.“We knew you were here; it was only a matter of time. For a second, I didn’t think I would get you. It seems like luck was on my side.”“What are you going to do to me? Wher
