The Stalker Next Door

Chapter Seven *part one*

Kenny's POV

Today was the day of my interview with the record dealer. To say I was excited was an understatement, considering my head was probably going to explode from how estatic I was about this. Yesterday Scarlet had told me she had run into that girl Emily again, and that she had invited her to have a coffee with her at some local cafe in town. So it looked like both of us would be out of the house today, which is probably a good thing.

I was currently waiting for the receptionist to call me back for my interview, which could be any minute from now. I decided to pass the time by sending a quick text to Scar saying that I hope she is having a good time with this Emily girl. After a few more minutes, I was just scrolling through my social media and finally heard my name being called.

"Mr. James will see you now, Mr. Holland," Said the receptionist. I politely thanked her as she told me where to go.

Hopefully this goes well, I thought as I walked through the doors of his office.

Jackie's POV

Currently I was sitting in some cafe waiting for the retched girl to show up so that Ricky and the guys could sneak in and install the security cameras, complete with audio as well so we could hear what they would be talking about. Suddenly, my phone buzzed.

Ricky-

She just left, gonna wait a few minutes and then make our way in.

I sent a quick text back, letting him know that I got his message and said I'd let him know whenever this "meeting" would be over so they could get out of there. I also had my friend Adam James who would let me know when his interview with Kenny would be over so that I could let Ricky and them know as well. I was being extra careful this time, so hopefully everything will work out perfectly.

After about 10 more minutes, she finally shows up.

"Hey sorry I'm a little late," she says and sits down in the seat across from me.

"Oh it's no problem, glad you could make it!" I say, faking my enthusiasm.

"Thanks for inviting me, I needed to get out anyway. It's not very often I get to have 'girl time' ya know?" she says.

"Totally, so what do you want to get?" I ask her.

"Hmm, I'll probably get a Caramel Latte with extra whip cream, my usual. What about you?"

"I'm not too sure, I'll probably just get the same as you." I say. Honestly, I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so I don't really know any of the drinks they have.

"Okay," she says and we quickly go up and order our drinks and wait as the girl makes them.

"So how are you and, Kenny was it?" I ask, trying to act like I was interested in knowing more.

"Oh we're great! It's just been really stressful lately with the wedding and whatnot." She says. Our orders are ready, so we grab the coffees and go back to our seats.

"I bet, how's that going? Have you decided where you're having it yet?" I ask, actually curious to see if I could get some answers myself.

"It's pretty good, we decided we want to have it back home in Arizona." she say, taking a sip of her latte. I did the same, surprised at how delicious it was.

"However," she continued. "That's all we've really gone over so far, to be honest."

"Well you'll get everything all sorted out, I'm sure." I say and continue to drink my delicious beverage. 

"Yeah, I'm sure we will."

Ricky's POV

"Alright guys, just a few more and I think we'll have covered the whole house," I say. It's been about half an hour already and we have almost all of the cameras in place. There were a couple in the living room, one in the bathroom (requested by Jackie, of course), a couple more in the bedroom,  and we were now getting ready to put two more up in the kitchen.

bzzz! bzzz!

My phone started ringing. Looking at it, I saw it was Jackie and answered it right away.

"Yeah J, what's up?" I ask.

"Ricky, you guys need to get out of there right now!" I hear her say in panic.

"Jackie, whats wrong?!" I ask, panic creeping into my voice only slightly. All of the guys suddenly stop and look at me.

"I left my phone on vibrate and missed a couple calls from Adam, the guy who was interviewing Kenny-"

"Jackie, how long ago did he call?" I ask quickly, cutting her off.

"20 minutes ago, Rick, he could be there any minu-" I suddenly heard the sound of a key going into the front door and the door knob of the front door starting to turn. I quickly hung up and signaled the guys to grab everything and to run into the nearest hiding spot we could find, which happened to be a hall closet. Luckily it was big enough for all five of us and we shut the door just as we heard the front door open.

I don't pray, but you could bet I was at that moment as we heard, probably that Kenny guy, walking around, taking his things off and heading to what sounded like the bathroom. I waited a few moments until I heard what sounded like running water, then slowly opened the door very gently to peak out and saw that the bathroom door was indeed closed, and took that as our opportunity to escape. Carefully and quietly, me and the guys came out of the closet (not in that way you pervs) and quietly opened the door and snuck our way out. I then shut the door quietly behind me.
