Jimmy and Cindy continued down the hallway, their hands by their pockets. They were ready to shoot at a moments notice. Eustace and Dave were several feet behind the,. As they turned a corner they bumped into Erik and Sarah.
"AH!" the six of them shouted as they jumped back.
"Where have you guys been?" Sarah angrily demanded.
Jimmy took a step forward. "Taking a walk, examining the mansion, being chased by two serial killers. You know, the usual," he said as they all continued down the hallway.
Erik ran to catch up with Jimmy. "What do you mean two?"
Jimmy sighed. "Mr. Benjamin is dead. And he was one of the killers. But another is still out there."
"Well, that sucks," Erik said. They all continued walking. Erik appeared nervous and whispered something into Jimmy's ear. "Hey, I know a lot about horror films, but there's a question I have to ask."
"Shoot," Jimmy said.
"Well, you know how once you have sex you're stamped for death?" Erik asked. Jimmy just nodded his head. "Um, will kissing kill you?"
Jimmy stopped and stared at Erik. "What? It's a valid question," he sheepishly told Jimmy.
"Close mouth no. Tongue or fondling, yes," Jimmy told him.
Erik was impressed. "Huh," he said as he rubbed his chin. "I gotta, uh, go talk with Sarah," he mumbled.
Jimmy grabbed his friend's shoulder. "Do what you gotta do, man," Jimmy said while smiling. Erik nodded and ran back to the end of the group to see Sarah. Idiot.
The gang continued silently walking through the hallway. Suddenly one of Jimmy's three phones began to rang. He took Eustace's phone out of his pocket and tossed it to him. He then answered the ringing phone. "Hello."
"Hello Jimmy. Having fun?"
Jimmy thought for a moment. "You didn't really think this one through, dude. You either killed your partner or killed some guy you don't know who was trying to murder me. Either way, one less maniac to deal with."
The killer shrugged. "He was dead weight. Anyway, back to business. What's your favorite scary movie?"
Jimmy was angry now. My god, haven't I answered this stupid question enough? "You want to know what my favorite scary movie is? My life."
"Oh, you're getting angry. You've gotta love when you strike a victim's nerves."
"What is it you want to tell me?"
The killer laughed. "You said it yourself, James. All bets, all rules are off in a trilogy. You're all huddling around this phone, listening to what I'm saying. It's a rookie mistake, Jimmy. Too bad someone has to die because of it. Turn around."
Everyone turned away from the phone and screamed. Sarah lay dead, a knife going all the way through her head.
"Pay attention to what's going on around you, James. I'm running out of fodder. Only one left. Then it's the main character's turn to die. See ya soon," the distorted voice said before hanging up.
