“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
~ 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
