The Silent Stalker 9
~ 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

~ Kevin ~The night approached, and I was at my office with my face covered. My mind went into a state where her words jumbled. "What's the matter?" one of my coworkers said as he sat across from me.“What the fuck are we doing?? We sit here with our tails between our legs while women go missing. We have no possible leads on this fucking investigation. The only decent lead is the bar place that the victim's friends stated, but we can't even find that shit. I'm starting to think that two people are working together on this?"My coworkers were shocked by the sudden outburst. "You think that two people would come together and plan this out? Are you going by what the witness says?" He questioned me.My anger rose, and I aggressively got up. The chair almost went out the window. Ellie is the only witness that is pinpointing facts right now. How in the living hell is a person kidnapping these women and leaving nothing but a mess? No blood, fingerprints, or spit. Nobody has seen or can descr

“I know, but what with the face?? You seem like you found a bag of money.” I questioned him.“Oh, do you remember when I saw you and this guy at lunch– which pissed me off?”“You mean Brad? Did you see him at that lounge? I said. He stated he met him when passing out some flyers for an event. He doesn't remember the event because he threw out the flyers, but that bar is where Bailey was last seen. Somehow he thinks that guy has something to do with that incident.The look on his face as he was proud of his lead. Even though he said that I was confused about why Brad would be there, he has two jobs already. Before I could say something, I was cut off by knocking from Aria. She wanted to come into the room to get comfortable.With no movement, she pounded on the door, which forced us to open it. Why would we get death stares? She shrugged happily as she went to get her pajamas. I faced Kevin and told him I would help. "I really don't want you to do this, but it's your choice, babe." He

The following day, I woke up to Aria cuddling me. I did my morning stretches and got ready for work. I showered, washed my hair, brushed my teeth, and dressed without waking her. I quietly went out the door. Posters were hung everywhere outside; what was going on?Missing Person:Was last seen yesterday evening. If you know about this, don't hesitate to get in touch with the police right away.Three, that's three people taken. This is getting out of hand. I wiped my ID when I entered the building and headed up to the top floor. Once those doors opened, chaos brewed."Ellie, good morning. Kaylee is waiting for you in the office. She is having a meeting for everyone." The secretary said as she gestured to the tinted glass door. Not knowing what I would walk into, my eyes widened when I saw every staff member on this floor."What's going on? Did I miss something?" I asked."Staff meeting; you can take a seat at your desk Ells," Kaylee said as she sat at the desk. "As you guys can see tha

~ 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
The Silent Stalker 35
~ 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??
The Silent Stalker 30
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
