Chapter 10
Two hours later, Dalton, Zach, McKinsey, Asher, Gale, and Sidney were all required to go to the police station. Dalton was the first to be interrogated. The police thought that one of the remaining people out of McKinsey's group was the killer since; they would know the most about her. They all sat in the lobby waiting to be called in for interrogation.
Asher tapped his foot. He hated this. He wanted to find whoever did this to Lindsey and make them pay. No, not just pay. He wanted to watch them die as slowly as they had watched her die. Maybe even slower. He wanted them to burn in hell forever.
He couldn't take it anymore. Everything was spinning out of control. All these emotions were playing with his mind. He was angry and sad and terrified. He was anxious and nervous. He couldn't handle this right now. He got up out of his chair and walked down the hall. He opened the doors to the stairs and took them all the way down to the parking lot. He walked to his car and got in. His phone rang.
Asher sat there for a minute, contemplating on whether to answer it or not. He grabbed it and pressed answer.
"Hello?"
"Hello."
It was him.
"Where the fuck are you? I'm going to kill you!"
"Oh really…well I'll give you a hint, I'm close."
Asher looked around the parking garage and found nothing. He shouted, "Come out here you coward! Quit hiding like the little bitch you are!"
"You're going to be the bitch when I rip your insides out and hang you with them!"
Asher grew quiet. He opened his door and stepped out. He looked around, searching each and every shadow.
"Can you see me yet? I'm closer than you think."
"Then why don't you show your fucking face?"
"Because this is a game! Kind of like hide and seek…except the loser dies."
Asher walked into the middle of the lot and started walking down, looking behind each car.
A shadow passed one of the cars to his left and he jumped back a little. The killer laughed into the receiver…but he couldn't hear the laugh in the parking garage. The person on the phone wasn't the same one that was in the parking garage.
"Fucking coward! You're not even in the parking garage!"
A pain shot up his leg. Asher screamed and fell to the ground, dropping his phone and making the screen shatter. He turned around to see a deep cut across the back of his left leg. The killer towered above him. Asher started crawling away when the killer put his foot on his chest and shoved Asher to the ground, pinning him there.
The killer brought the voice-changer out and said, "You should have played the game better because I found you."
He brought the knife down and shoved it into Asher's chest. Asher screamed in pain as the blade dug into his flesh. Blood squeezed out around the blade, running down Asher's chest and soaking his shirt.
He cut down from Asher's chest down to his stomach. Blood seeped out of Asher's mouth as he started dying. The killer dragged Asher all the way back to Asher's car before shoving the knife down one more time and cutting the rest of his stomach open, revealing his organs and intestines.
Back in the lobby, Sidney and Gale got up from their seats. Zach had gone in to be interrogated and Dalton was back out of the room. But…Asher still hadn't come back. Sidney had called him four times and wondered where he was. Was he still out in the parking garage? Did he leave? He shouldn't have left. A bad feeling nagged at her. She knew something was wrong.
She walked down the hallway to the stairs to the parking garage. She looked around the parking garage before seeing a sight that almost made her heart stop. She screamed and a few seconds later, the door flew open and Gale ran down. Sidney dropped to her knees and started crying into her hands. McKinsey came down and saw the horrific sight and just gasped and stood there, paralyzed with horror.
A group of police officers ran down the steps and looked at Asher hanging from a lamp above his car. He was hanging by his intestines. They had been ripped out of his stomach and tied around his neck and then tied around the lamp. Blood was splattered everywhere. All over the ground, all over the cars, all over Asher's face.
Another one of them had died. Only five of them were left.
