Vera looked at her phone she was waiting for a call from Rufus, as he wanted to talk and she was nervous.
The phone rang.
( On the phone "" - for Rufus ** - for Vera )
"Vera about time want have you got for me?"
* Victor is close to the mask but don't worry he's stopped for now and those brats are also getting close*
Rufus was thinking until the idea hit him. If he can't get the mask himself those brats would get it for him. But no one will help him not even Jerome. Wait! That's it! Jerome!
" Vera I need you to do something for me. "
* Of course want ever you want rufus.*
" I need you to give me Jerome"
Vera thought about it. Why would he want Jerome?
* Why ever would you want Jerome, Rufus. *
" Its called blackmail Vera, and me and Jerome go a long back."
Vera paused until a idea came to mind. Jerome had a sister. Poppy. If any thing happened to her.
" Well can you vera "
* yes! Yes I can be outside the house around 7:45 and make sure no one can see you, Jerome would be out of the house by then I will make sure of it *
"Got to go Vera someone is coming"
*Alright talk to you soon*
After she hanged up the phone she smiled to herself an evil little smile that sends chills down your back.
( The morning )
Everyone was a wake and up for breakfast. The table was fall of pancakes and breakfast goods. It just turned 7:40 and The room was fall of laughter and talking until Vera came in.
" Umm Jerome ..." She started
The room fell silent everyone looked at Jerome or Vera. Jerome has done anything this time.
" I just had a phone call from the hospital..." She stopped again.
Jerome turned white something was wrong.
"Its Poppy. " She finished.
Jerome was speechless he jumped out of his chair making the chair fall backwards.
" What happened Vera ?, WHAT HAPPENED ?! " He screamed.
Everyone was watching. They knew Poppy meant a lot to Jerome as he hardly have little family.
" Well ... Um ... The doctor said that she was walking with her friends and a ...um ..."
"What HAPPENED VERA ?" Jerome shouted.
" A car went flying across the bend and... Oh Jerome it hit her. "
Jerome again was speechless in fact he couldn't breathe. so was everyone else. Jerome couldn't tell who but some of them were silently crying, with the. silent Vera carried on.
" They sent a cab down for you its outside right now, but only if you don't..." Vera didn't have a chance to finish her sentence Jerome grabbed his phone and was gone out of the door.
The table was silent. They were all thinking the same question. How could the cab get there so quick?
Vera was in the kitchen looking at the clock 7:45 just like she promised.
(Outside)
Jerome slammed the door he couldn't believe it how can this of happened. To his own sister too. He saw the cab around the bend and ran to it. Why was it so far away? But that didn't matter all that mattered to Jerome was Poppy.
He looked inside the car, it was a red van but no one was In there. The van looked really similar put he couldn't put his finger on it. There was a noise in the trees. Suddenly he remembered who the van belonged to. Rufus ! Jerome was about to run, when some thing covered his mouth. It must be Rufus. He was now working on his hands. Jerome was panicking now. The last time he met Rufus he double cross him and he told Jerome he would regret being born after he was done with him. Was this it his revenge ? Or was it one of his other idea he had plan.
Jerome winced in pain after he knotted the rope the second time tightly.
"Remember me Jerome, of course you do! You are coming with me!" He said whilst laughing. He covered Jerome eyes with a second piece of cloth and opened the door and pushed Jerome inside. Jerome could here Rufus laughing, he hope that his friends will realise soon before its to late.
