We found a few things in the laundry room and held onto them for later. There was also a box in here so I put the antique coin into it and Ethan put in Mia's ID and email.
"Ok, hopefully he's not waiting outside for us"
I looked over at Ethan who was standing by the door.
"I'll go first just to be safe"
I looked at him for a second then nodded in agreement. He opened the door and then the phone started to ring. This time I picked it up.
"You did good Ethan"
"Actually it's y/n this time"
"Oh well you did good as well"
"Thanks...anyways this is Zoe right? What the fuck are these-"
"Shut up and listen if you want to stay alive"
'Jeez alright'
"You gotta get out of that house. There might be a way out through the hall. And that thing on Ethan's wrist is a codex. Don't lose it...it's important"
Then she just hangs up.
"She's on hell of a girl I'll give you that" I said as I turned around.
"What was she saying?"
I explained to Ethan what she told me. He nodded and we started to walk the way where we saw the man appear. There wasn't much there but some photos. There was one of Lucas where he actually looked normal but...at the same time looked like he was a giant asshole. There was also a photo of Jack and Marguerite Baker.
"Huh so that's his name"
There was a big door but it needed a key. So we had to go back the other way. We saw a flash light through the window that was outside the dining room and walked towards it. But before we walked all the way up to the window I turned my head to the left to look in the dinning room.
"Where did the grandma go?"
"What" Ethan turned his head and saw that she was go too.
"How'd she move herself out of here?"
"Who knows" Ethan turned back to the window and walked towards it with me following behind.
"Open up! Hey over here!"
"Hey, you gotta help us!"
"Hold on, back up! Now sir, ma'am, do you live here? I mean, is this your property?"
"What? Us? No, no!" I spoke up.
He looked at me strangely before saying,
"Alright. Now we got several calls of missing persons lately"
"You don't understand. We gotta get out of here!"
I grabbed Ethan's hand to calm him down because this officer could think we were suspicious if he keeps yelling.
"Now calm down"
"You're not listening to me. There are crazy people in this house trying to fucking kill us"
"Well alright, let me tell you this. You don't exactly seem like you're playing with a full deck yourself. Alright?"
This time I got defensive and went in front of Ethan to start talking.
"Are you kidding me!?"
"Look, like I said, we've had several missing persons calls, and I can't rule out that an outsider like you two may not be involved"
"Alright we'll tell you whatever you want" I agreed.
"Alright. Now that's more like it. Now, meet me in the garage. We'll talk there"
"Hey, wait" Ethan yelled getting in front of me. The officer stopped and turned around.
"You gotta give me your gun"
'Oh brother' I hit my forehead because if the officer wasn't suspicious before he definitely is now.
"You must have lost your mind"
"Look, officer. Now do you wanna see our name in the obituaries? Or do you wanna be a hero and save our lives?"
The officer reached into his pocket.
'No way is he giving him a-'
My thoughts were cut off by him giving Ethan a knife.
"A fucking pocket knife?"
"Here. Take it! That's all you're gonna get. Now go. Garage. Now"
"What am I gunna do with a knife"
I sighed and took it from him.
"Let's go complaining pants"
I walked towards the garage. Honestly I forgot I was holding Ethan's hand until I went to hit the box that was in the entrance of the garage. I sipped my hand out of his hand and smashed the box. For some reason there was handgun ammo. I grabbed it for if in case. I walked over to the box that had tape on it and cut the tape. Ethan reached his hand around me and pushed the button to open the garage.
"Hey! We gotta get the fuck outta here!" Ethan yelled.
"Now first you need to tell me what you're both doing here alone in the middle of the night?"
"Us? What about you?"
"Now, it's my job. Why don't you two do your job and tell me? Answer my questions"
"You're not going to believe us if we told you" I stated making my way in front of Ethan.
'Ethan really needs to calm down right now. I know he's mad because I am too but if he acts like this the officer won't help us'
"Try me" then the door started to close behind him.
"Hey. Put that door back up. Put that door back up! What are you doing?" The officer started to reach for his gun but Jack came up behind him and stabbed the officer through the head.
"OH MY GOD"
"Wait!! WAIT!" Ethan started to yell.
"You know what...fuck it I'm going to kill every one of you!"
Ethan runs and grabs the gun on the floor while I search around for things that could be helpful to get out. I found keys and I assume they're for the car.
'Fuck yes! Let's run this bitch over'
Before I go to the car I search the officer for any other weapons while Ethan is still shooting Jack. I found a gun on the officer and head for the car.
*quick authors note. I know the gun Ethan grabs comes from the officer but I figured y/n should have a gun too*
I sat into the car and saw Jack turn towards me laughing his creepy hillbilly laugh. I started to hit him with his car while Ethan jumped out of the way. Jack started yelling things at me like,
"Motherfuck!"
"Ho-ho! Alright, bring it on!"
"Where'd you learn to drive?"
Then he said "Let's finish this... you and I"
Suddenly he disappeared. I looked around when I felt the car shake and a Big Bang sound.
"Y/n look out!" Ethan yelled as the top of the car was being ripped off.
"Aww yeah, I'm gonna take you for a ride!"
Jack grabbed the steering wheel and ran into the wall. Then he put the car in reverse and put it back into drive almost making my face get impaled  with the loose metal that was sticking up from the shelf we ran into.
"No...no! Fuck!"
My face barely missed it but the car started making a sound. I quickly stumbled out as the car exploded sending me a few feet away.
Jack stood up on fire walking towards me.
"Oh boy, now look what you've done, motherfucker!"
Ethan started to shoot him spouting out cuss words and telling him how dare he almost kill me like that. Jack falls over and Ethan runs over to me. I had cuts over my body so Ethan pulled out a first aid liquid and dumped it on me.
'Huh I already feel better'
He pulled me into a hug with tears in his eyes.
"Don't ever do anything stupid like that again!"
"I'm sorry E but that man was crazy! But hey he's dead now right? If I didn't run him over he wouldn't have gone down as easily"
He signed and put his face into my neck.
"I know but I can't loose you to something like that y/n"
I put my hand on top of his head and caressed his hair.
"And you won't. I promise"
And I meant it! I wasn't going to die to something like this I still haven't told Ethan how I felt and I can't die without telling him.
Ethan pulled away and stared into my eyes.
"Let's get out of this shit hole, yeah?"
"Yeah let's go"
He kissed my cheek and walked to the latter.
'What....the....hell....DID HE JUST KISS MY CHEEK??? I don't think this man knows what he's doing to me'
My mind was screaming as I started to go up the ladder.
"Do I have your attention, girl? You are about to see something wonderful. Shoot me! Shoot me!"
Jack walked rushed up to me and grabbed my hand, sticking the gun I picked up into his mouth. I pull the trigger and his head explodes.
"Fuck!!!"
Ethan looks down the ladder to see what happened and asked if I was ok.
"Yeah, crazy man just made me shoot his head off"
I looked down at him
"Ughhh and it's still moving"
I quickly looked away and hurried up the ladder.
Ethan grabbed my face to check for any cuts and when he saw nothing he slowly let go. He walked to the book shelf and grabbed the picture that was on it and turned it around. He grabbed the ox body from off of it and put it in his pocket.
"Nice now we have the key let's get out of here"
He nodded and moved the shelf. We jumped down and started to walk to the door. He grabbed my hand while we walked.
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah I promise Ethan. I am a-okay"
He smiled down at my and I just squeezed his hand. When we got to the door he put the key in and the big locks did their thing until they slightly opened themselves.
"Time to venture into a new part of the house I guess"
"I guess so"
Ethan grabbed my hand again but held it tightly as we walking into the new area.
