Chapter Six- "Terrance? You scared?"
----
The cold air ran through my skin. It was for sure…Valentine's Day was coming, and I still didn't have her gift. I need more money and fast. This was my only doing. If I needed money more than anything it was now. That was the reason I was doing this wretched thing, only that. I mean, I'm not a bad guy…I'm not.
Snapping back to reality, I stared at the street signs in front of me. Where was I going? I didn't have 'Terrance's Card'…so how was I gonna find him? I sighed and sat on the street curb. I hate this job. I want to freakin' quit…I'm gonna end up going crazy!
More cold air blew on me, leaves also blew by, scattering at my feet. I rested my head in my palms. Think. Think. Think. I started rubbing my temples. If only I never did this, I would still be inside the cozy, safe tree house eating dinner and laughing with my friends…cause this was no fun.
"Where the hell do I go, Jeno?" I screamed out loud, knowing he wasn't going to answer me. I hate this so much. I hate it! I started thinking…what is today? February 9th 2005
It was almost Valentine's Day! I'd have enough money-and I could quit in just a matter of days! It was simple. Smiling, I stood up. "This ain't that bad." I dusted myself and as I turned around I bumped into a familiar face.
"J-Jeno?" My face darkened from surprise of seeing him here.
"Nice surprise, eh?" Jeno popped a sucker in his mouth. "Well, I thought so."
Where did he come from? I didn't hear anyone coming…how does he do that?
"Lost Wallabee?" His face was a few inches from mine. I smelt the nicotine on his breath…he smelt of cigarettes and drugs. He continued, "Look around you, there's signs everywhere!"
I turned away from him and looked at the buildings, signs, and lights. "What do you mean-?"
I looked back, he wasn't there anymore…he was gone.
"Jeno?" The hairs on my back started to rise. Did I really…was that really him? I rolled my eyes and rubbed them, repeating the process. I looked at the street sign in front of me. It said: Terry Ave. Staring, I thought, Terry? Terrance? Is it a sign? I walked closer to it, it was worth the try I said as I walked in the direction of the street.
As I walked I grinned, wouldn't it just be easier for me to go get the card?, but I quickly answered myself, I would risk the safety of my group members…and friends…if Jeno saw them, it wouldn't be a pretty site. I don't think.
The lights flickered as I walked closer and closer. I turned to my right , graffiti was everywhere, turning to my left was just the same as the right. Focusing my eyes on what was in front of me was hard…I didn't know what to expect.
The closer I walked, the more an image of a house appeared. Was that Terrance's house? I squinted my eyes. The house was definitely…different. It had one window in the front, a steel door, and a garbage pit for the front yard. It wasn't something I was use to seeing.
I ran close to the house, peering into the front window, I saw a boy that seemed no older than me. He was watching the television…that was the only thing that lit up his living room.
I shut my eyes. I hope I get out of here alive. My eyes scanned the area for a way in…there seemed to be an opening from the roof…I'm guessing the attic? And lucky me there was a ladder, to the side.
Quickly and quietly I grabbed the ladder and placed it along the house. I stepped on the first step, praying it wouldn't break and send me to the ground…it didn't break or make a sound. I peered back in the window just to make sure he was still there. To my surprise he was. I turned back to the staircase and continued up the steps until I reached the very top. From there I threw myself into the attic and fell on the floor, chin first. Ouch…
I stood up and rubbed the pain away from my chin. As I rubbed my chin, I looked down at the floorboards. There was a small hole in the floor that lead straight to the front room. Staring down, I moved alittle closer.
EeEeK
The floorboard creaked, I fell on my butt from being startled by the sound.
"What was that?" Terrance jumped up and mumbled in alarm. I stared down at him from the attic. Damn. I hope I didn't blow my cover.
I crawled on the floor and watched Terrance pace around his room. He walked over to the front window and stared out. I stayed quiet…quiet as a mouse.
Terrance looked around the room, trying to find the answer to the sound from earlier. I walked across the floorboards and tried to look for a door…as I did the floorboard creaked again, but louder.
"Whose there?" he looked up at the ceiling, it looked like he was staring dead at me.
Oh crud! What was my BIG plan for this Terrance guy anyways? You don't just walk in with no plan you wise crack! I reached out for a doorknob, there it was. I pushed on it and there was another staircase. Before I placed one foot on the stairs I tried to think of a plan that would really scare Terrance…hmm what?
Thinking, I quickly grabbed a red marker from my orange hoodie pocket. This might work. I put it in my mouth and made my way towards the stairs. Terrance was out of my view.
Confession
Numbuh one raised an eyebrow, "What kind of plan did you have in mind?" he placed his hands together.
I scratched my neck, tension was growing there the whole time I told the story. "Enough to scare him."
He shook his head, "You didn't hurt him did you?"
This question was kindof an understatement…I mean, what was I 'suppose' to do to him? Tickle him to death?
"I didn't hurt him…I scared him…that's all."
End of Confession
The stairs were creaky and mysterious…where would it lead off to? I kept walking down the steps, keeping an empty mind.
(Terrance's Pov)
Terrance took his eyes off the ceiling and returned to the couch. Grabbing the remote control he mumbled, "It's just the wind, T, it's just the wind." He took a deep breath.
Bring. Bring.
Terrance stared over at the phone…which was by the front window. When it rang for the third time he walked over and grabbed it. "Hello? This is T, who is this?"
"T, is it T for too tired to pay Jeno?" Jeno was on the other line.
He wiped his forehead, "Oh hey Jeno! I got the money…it'll be here in a few weeks or so, I just gotta-"
Jeno cut in with much sharpness, "A few weeks?" Chuckling he continued, "You kidding me? T, you know I don't like the jokes. But let me just ask again, where's my money?"
Terrance stared out the window, thinking Jeno was there, he grew pale and quiet.
"Terrance J. Pryor I gave you plenty of time to get my money, but you neglected your chances…will you neglect your chance of survival?" Jeno drew a deep breath as if to scare him…even more.
He shook of fear and screamed through the phone, "You real sick. You know that? Man you don't scare me…I am…" Terrance stopped dead in sentence as he heard Jeno laugh loudly.
"My dear client…it's not me you should be afraid of…right now."
Terrance stared confusedly at the wall as Jeno continued.
"Oh and before I go, I hope you locked your doors." At this Terrance's jaw dropped as he scrambled for the front door. He hung up the phone and pressed his body against the door to make sure it was locked tightly. So tight that not even a fly could get in.
He smiled a sleek smile but something came across his mind. The back door!
Quickly Terrance scrambled to the back door, as he ran he hoped for the best. As he came across the kitchen he stared at the open back door. Dare he walk closer?
His heart beated faster, as he approached the door.
Terrance's jaw opened as his eyes widened when he eyed the door…someone beat him to the door. It said so in big, RED letters: WATCH YOUR BACK
He threw his hand across his heart and backed away from the door, before he let out a scream he bumped into something, something that made him jump out of his skin. "Hey Terrance."
He threw his hand against the object behind him…it was just the kitchen counter. "Who's there!" Terrance balled his fists up, turning sharply and angstly.
I grinned, this was pretty fun. It kinda reminded me of hide and seek…kinda. The strap that held me to the ceiling was starting to get tighter…what was my next plan? I jerked away from the grappling hook that kept me extended to the ceiling and followed Terrance's movements.
Terrance walked closer to the shadows that lurked the corners of his house, kicking and throwing his fists to make sure no one was there. "I said who's there!" He thrusted his fist against the shadow…only to find himself fighting with the wall.
I laughed loudly. "Not even close…."
Terrance backed away from the wall and looked up at the ceiling. Before he could spot me I lurked in the corner of the ceiling, sinking lower to the holes of the attic…my only hiding place.
He found the light switch and smacked his hand against. No light came on. "Huh?" He kept hitting the switch, "Off" and "On…"Off and "On".
"Turned them off." I started unbuckling my strap, I think I got another plan. Was it going to work?
"What do you want from me?" Terrance asked as he looked around the room, he was scared stiff.
The strap came loose and I grabbed the grappling hook from the position I sat it in. As he walked around the room dumbfoundly I found the power switch and turned the lights back on, also positioning myself to fall, fall down from my safety point and into the arms of danger. I only got one life to live…here goes nothing.
When the lights turned on, it brightened the room and Terrance stared dead at me.
Taking a deep breath I said with a stern face, "Jeno sent me."
