"Guys? Come here, please."

Dan and Phil looked at each other before following their boss out of their radio booth. He looked concerned, his eyebrows were furrowed and crinkles showed in the corner of his eyes.

"Yes?" Dan asked once they were out.

"I'm not glad I have to ask you this because your show is usually very happy and spirit lifting, but I have no choice."

Dan and Phil stared at each other again, confused.

"Please warn the people listening about Alpha and ask them to stay inside if possible." He said all at once.

Dan opened wide, indignant eyes.

"I don't want to be rude, but we're the Dan and Phil show, not the news." He exclaimed. "The news are literally on the floor underneath us, why don't you ask them?"

Phil nudged Dan.

"They're doing it right now, like they've been doing the entire day." Their boss replied. "It's just that the police called and asked every radio station to warn the population so they would stay inside."

Dan scoffed. Phil nudged him again.

"Just do it subtly." He added before leaving.

Dan and Phil went back to their booth.

"It's so ridiculous." Dan whispered to Phil. "It's not like two guys with fringes on a radio show would convince people to stay inside."

"Let's just do as we're told." Phil replied. "If we sensitize them about Alpha, maybe we'll be able to stop at least one death."

Phil shuddered at his own words. Dan stared directly into Phil's eyes.

"Do you seriously think a simple warning to the population will stop Alpha from killing more people?"

Phil swallowed hard. He looked away from Dan and tried to repress the fear that had crashed upon him.

"He's killed eight people so far." Dan added. "He's dismembered two people! If he was an amateur, they would've already found him. He's not going to quit so easily."

"Sometimes I begin to wonder if you don't look up to that person who kills so many innocent people..." Phil mumbled, staring at his feet.

Dan was taken aback.

"Of course I don't." He replied hurriedly. "I'm just stating facts."

He looked at Phil. He was pouting. His thoughts about the future suddenly resurfaced and his brain ached again. He put on his headphones and sighed deeply.

"I wish all of this could be over." Phil whispered so only he could hear.

The radio show ended and Dan and Phil were back home. A weird sensation was rumbling down Dan's stomach. It made his hands ball up and his heart feel like it was filling up his entire chest. His mind, it was whispering to him, it was commanding him to continue the pattern. He had to kill.
