'Do you think it was wise letting those two go together?' Becky asked, as she and Tiffany wandered through the corridors.
'Harry and Dominic? Not wise at all.' Tiffany replied. 'But I suppose it's best they settle their differences, maybe then we get somewhere on this mission.'
'Yeah.'
The hallways were musty and were painted with cobwebs. The lights weren't working due to the bulbs being smashed so they had to use their torches to see. It was too dark outside to see anything at the windows. It had got dark quickly.
'Do you know any history of this house?' Tiffany asked.
'Yeah, there was a fire and the owner and his wife and kids died. It's a tragic story, really. The youngest was only a baby.'
'Aww! That's awful.'
'True…Hey, what's that up ahead?'
They both shown their torches to the end of the hall where something was moving. They were both shocked to see it was actually a person lying face down. Becky and Tiffany raised their guns and slowly approached the person.
'Sir! Sir we're from the police, we're here to help.' Becky called. The man didn't seem to hear her and continued to crawl towards them. 'Sir, stop there please, can you hear me?'
As an answer, the man slowly stood, head still bowed. After getting steady, he looked up.
Tiffany shrieked. Becky stared in horror. The man's eyes were all white. His skin was pale, almost blue, and dried blood surrounded his open mouth. His clothes were ripped slightly and one of his arms had a large chunk out of it, several fingers missing. Probably the scariest thing was the fact he was still moving towards them. He groaned and moaned hungrily making the two girls back away.
'SIR STOP! I'LL SHOOT IF YOU DON'T STOP WHERE YOU ARE!' Becky screamed.
'SHOOT HIM ANYWAY!' Tiffany yelled.
BANG BANG
'HE'S STILL MOVING, DO IT AGAIN!'
BANG BANG BANG
Finally, the man fell down. There was a few minutes silence when the officers waited for him to get up, but he didn't.
'I wanna go back…' Tiffany whimpered.
'You're awfully quiet, you know that?' Gavin commented lightly.
'Yeah, runs in the family…' Katy said quietly.
They had been walking for ten minutes now. They had gone through many corridors but had come across nothing of importance.
Gavin didn't like boring atmospheres. He didn't like being bored. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. 'I hardly think you needed to bring money, it isn't exactly a fairground here…' Katy said in a friendly tone.
'Are you kidding?' Gavin smiled, 'I would never leave these guys behind.' He showed her a picture that was tucked inside the wallet. He was in it along with two children, a girl and a boy. 'That's Jack, he's five, and she's Holly, three.' Gavin said proudly.
'They're beautiful…' Katy said sadly.
Gavin missed her tone of voice and continued, 'yeah, they're my whole world, I love them both…'
There was a pause where Gavin admired his children and Katy was near to tears.
'Get out.' She said, finally letting her tears fall freely.
'Pardon?' Gavin said, shocked.
Katy turned to him and said 'Listen, I know if you stay you will not get out alive. You have to leave if you want to see you're children again. I couldn't bear it if you…if I-I…please go!'
Gavin stared, stunned. 'How do you know? What about you?'
'I'll be fine!' Katy cried, 'He won't hurt me!'
'Who?'
'The owner of this house!'
'I thought he died,'
'If you want to see Jack and Holly again you have to leave now, and bring as many of the group as you can.' Gavin was going to ask more but Katy's face made him turn and run. Katy watched him. When she heard a door slam she knew he had taken her advice. A part of her felt happy and relived, but one question made her feel sick. What will he do when he finds out?
