The Silent Stalker 26
~ Evan ~My sister and I went our separate ways at work. I met my coworkers in a meeting room where they were sitting around talking. “Morning, everyone; why are you guys just sitting here? We have important work to do. So— chop, chop.” I said as I sat my bag down. Ryan walked up to me with worried eyes.“Kaylee told us to clean the offices upstairs. The way she said it was giving us strange vibes.”Were we getting fired or something? The fear in the room is unbearable. We got the cleaning supplies and went to the top floor. Police were still investigating the area but didn't mind we were there. As long as we got clearance, we were good.It felt like forever since we moved to the second floor. It got dusty quickly. We transferred files, wiped desktops, dusted cabinets, removed the trash, did some high dusting, etc. The room was spotless right now, so why are we doing this? Out of nowhere, my coworker felt something when he took down a box. "Guys, I think I found something," he said.W

~ Ellie ~I ran out of breath once I reached my brother. I snatched the camera and unplugged it. “If this is here, then who knows how many are around this place,” I said distressedly. Brad has been spying on everyone here. This is how he knew where we were at all times.“What the hell are we going to do?? Cameras could be anywhere.” Ryan explained.That is a valid point, Brad could place them in areas we haven't considered. I turned to Kaylee for answers. “Ugh!! Not only that, an unknown person is roaming the building.” She said as she rubbed her hands through her hair. I suggested that we should get Kevin so he could figure this out. Evan's face went into confusion as he didn’t like the idea.I explained to my brother about the situation, and he was okay with it now. Since we have evidence, we can bring him to his knees. Kaylee paced up and down the room, and I tried to calm her down. She needs to shut down the building until further notice.“I don’t want to do that. So much work has

~ Evan ~“STOP RIGHT THERE!!” I screamed as I chased the mystery man down the halls and out to the stairwell. I managed to catch up until he managed to slip through the third-floor door. When I tried to open it, it was locked. Red lights flashed throughout the stairs. A lockdown has commenced. We are trapped inside until the system is fixed. The only area to get into is the lobby. Which means he can not get out. Perfect. Anyways, I shouldn’t have run off like that. The girls probably needed me to protect them, but I couldn’t miss the chance to get him.My heart has ached since my love’s disappearance. I can’t function properly without him. I ran my hands through my hair as I sat on the steps. What should I do? I can’t get in anywhere to capture him, and I can’t get out. I’m fucked. While I was in my thoughts, footsteps crept down the stairs. Shaking in fear, I stood there waiting. “How in the hell are you going to rewire the whole system? It’s not like the building will go back to nor

I got discharged early as my injuries were minor. The others were unconscious at the moment and under watch. Because of this, the city was under surveillance, and a curfew was in effect. Nobody was allowed outside after 8 pm. If so, they will be taken in for questioning. When I got home, I felt empty inside. Nothing felt real anymore. I slumped in the chair as I turned my phone back on. I re-watched the video that was sent to me. I was shaking as I stared at Aria, but I noticed this strange noise in the background. A clunking sound like metal. I pulled the phone closer to my ear.CLANK. CLANK. CLANK.For some odd reason, I recognize the sound from somewhere— but where? Disheartened, I plugged my phone into my laptop and played with the audio enhancer. I took out the voices or any extra noise that was irrelevant. It took a while, but I know what it is.Pipes. I remember Aria saying the person smelled like rust and oil. A junkyard in the city only collects cars over on 35th Street. I sn

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

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??

~ 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

~ 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
