Prologue:
These damn kids.
I begin sighing to myself as I rub my temples. "They are so much to handle sometimes as every day goes by." I close my eyes and lower my hands to the desk I am sitting at making my hands join together on the hard oak wood of the desks surface. I look down towards my lap lost in thought about anything and everything when I raise my head that's when the phone rings and I look to it. I know who it is and I know what they want. I reach over picking it up glad that I am alone especially since now that classes are all done the kids are out to relax and play. I bring it to my ear. "Hello." I say casually.
"When are you going to tell us to move? We've been waiting forever!" The man on the other side growls in frustration. "Remember that we are planning of having a great time while getting rid of those kids once and for all. They will get what they deserve and we will get our reward. Freedom and what we've always wanted." He reminds me without the growl.
"You will be able to soon. We will begin very soon. I just need to make a confirmation on the order then we move out." I tell him. "Am I understood? Contact me tonight and I'll let you know. It should be ready by then."
He sounds calmer and happier as he speaks this time. "That sounds good. I'll talk to you again tonight." He then hangs up with that.
I do the same and I look to a drawer of the desk I am sitting at. I reach over to it and I open.
There is a bunch of papers that seem normal to have for someone like me but buried at the very bottom I have the special list of the order that I need to confirm for tonight.
I feel an evil smile stretch across my lips as I take out the list and I put it on my desk only to close the drawer after. I glance to it and I read the first name there. "Jackeline. Pretty common." I hum to myself. "An easy first one to have." I feel evil laughter boil up inside me as I think of everything that is going to happen and could happen. "Let's get this show on the road." I get up and fold the list stuffing it into my pants pocket as I leave the room going down the hall.
Later that night…..
"Yes. It has been confirmed. Move in." I command as soon as I pick up the phone to the call I have been waiting for.
"Rodger that sir." The man on the other side says almost like someone from the army would speak to a superior but in his voice is that he is content.
We hang up after that and I leave the room heading to her room door.
I act as if just making the usual rounds made to make sure all kids are in their rooms at the curfew. I grab the handle and pause for a moment listening. I hear nothing to be concerned about so I twist open the doorknob and push the door into the room with no light streaming out from the room.
The room is dark and she looks to be sleeping. The room is only dimly lit by the moon outside as it streams through her window leaving it so her room is not pitch black.
I step inside and close the door behind myself only to head to the window of her room after making she's sleeping as well as not to wake her. I look out the window and I see the vehicle pull up resting there waiting for my signal. I reach into my pocket skipping over the small cloth to grab the flash light. I take it out and point it at the window clicking it on only to do a top secret pattern that is almost like making several different sized eights.
The people waiting for my signal slip out of the vehicle and rush into the building knowing where to go.
I turn off the flash light and I turn to the girl in the bed who looks like she might awaken. I stuff the flash light into my pocket and I grab the small cloth bringing it out of my pocket as I walk towards her.
Her eyes open and as she shifts I can see a flash of long brown very slightly curly hair as her tan brown eyes come to rest on me. She blinks and opens her mouth but I can't have her saying anything that might alert any of the other kids of what I am doing.
I slam the cloth over her mouth and nose grabbing her by her neck with my other hand to try to keep her from escaping as she struggles with wide eyes. I wait and watch as her eyes start to droop until they are closed and she is spiraled into unconsciousness. I then remove the cloth putting it back into my pocket.
The door opens and three tiny knocks sound once the door is open to a slit.
The knocks are quite enough to make the sound be heard only to someone who is really listening like me as I somewhat strain to hear it but it's better than being caught.
I go to the door and open it a touch more before moving away from it.
The group enters the room and I nod to the bed. They grab her and carry her out of her room into the hall heading towards where they parked the vehicle as a scout goes ahead to keep the path clear.
I smile and head out of the room myself.
One down and the rest to go.
