I woke up the next morning to birds chirping out on my bedroom windowsill. I stared up at the ceiling fan moving ever so slowly yet still being able to cool down this room. After a few minutes, I looked over at my wife. She was asleep so I'm guessing it's before 9 o'clock, as that is when her work starts. I got up out of bed trying not to creak the wooden floor boards below my feet.

I went down into the kitchen and started making breakfast for the kids and Elizabeth. I gathered the ingredients I needed, consisting of a couple eggs and bacon. I finally looked at the clock which read 7:58. That means the Austin and Jacob should be up for school already. Setting the table and the food in its places I headed up stairs to announce that breakfast was served.

I waited down in my spot of the table in till I heard the many footsteps trudging down the stairs. The first to walk in was Elizabeth.

"Good morning my love" I said with a smile

"Mornin' "

"Good morning Dad!"

"Hey Dad"

Being greeted put a smile on my face but then I realized I should be getting to work soon.

"Hurry and eat up, don't wanna be late for school do ya?" I headed up the stairs to start backing my back and put a suit on. I had a sleight headache but pushed it off for now, who knows... I could geta case today. Never lose hope.

I walked into the kitchen once more and kissed everyone on the cheek.

"Bye guys, I'll be back around the same time as always. Be good at school today!"

I walked out the door and towards my black car. I opened the door and sat inside, putting my bag on the passenger seat. My headache wasn't getting any better but I can still manage to work. Finally starting the car, I drove the same way as always to work.

As I pulled into the parking lot I walked inside seeing the same co-workers and the same creepy guy staring... As I was walking to my desk, my leg met with an obstacle. I tripped, falling forward, about to land on my face but felt arms grab onto me. Once my mind was clear of the situation I realized I tripped over Jason's foot and the person who grabbed me was Jason. He was too close for comfort 5 inches from my face and holding me from behind slightly off the ground. I stumbled out of his grasp, okay with being on the ground again. I picked up my bag that I realized fell on the floor, I stood up straightening my tie and shirt.

"Uh... Um, thank you." I said

"Haha, anytime Ryan."

I looked up into Jason's smirking face feeling mine getting warmer. I looked around the room and saw the others silently watching so I just quickly scurried to my desk.

'Did he do that on purpose?...'

I thought about that while staring at the floor. I looked up once more and realized he was staring at me so I slouched down and put a picture frame of my family in my view of him.

'Man, I can't believe that just happened...'

My headache worsened from that experience and I cradled my head in my arms for a little bit...

"R...he...Ryan... Wake up!"

I head a voice in my head, I jerked up and saw Jason next to me, shaking my shoulder.

"Oh, uh heeeey" If I couldn't of sounded anymore awkward.

"Here's some paper work and mail from your box."

"Thank you"

I grabbed the papers out of his hands and stacked them on my desk. I looked through the documents, just some new changes happening with the company and a few papers to sign. I looked in the mail pile next.

'Junk, junk, junk, don't know, jun- letter?'

I saw the letter was in a a yellow envelope. There wasn't a sender name just a "Ryan" on it. Curious, I ripped it open and saw some loose leaf with a few paragraphs on it, they read.

"Dear Ryan, thanks for opening this letter. I just wanna let you know that I've been watching you for a little while. You have a beautiful family with you alright. It would be a shame if something were to happen to Austin and Jacob's father wouldn't it? Or to would it hurt you more if I took them away? I'm still here, and I won't leave till satisfied, this is just a heads up. In till next time... Goodbye Ryan. ~Anonymous'
