Obsession.

Chapter 19 ~ Carpet Burn

Yesterday went smoothly. Most of the guys were busy, so we just had a couple monitoring us while we cleaned. I was lucky to get some easy jobs. I heard one girl was made to do the toilets.

Today was a bit tougher. He forced another girl to give head. However, she wasn't so lucky to get Ishir. The guy beat her and choked her constantly. I don't think she knew what she was doing either...

It's night time, and I think everyone is asleep. Now it's my time to plant these cameras. I convinced Ishir to get my purse, so now I have all three sets. I didn't hell him what I'm doing, but he's going to monitor the halls for me as I set them up.

I first hit the main entrance. I hide it behind some decorative books. I give the cam a thumbs up so they know everything should run smooth. These are supposed to be a live thing, so maybe they can keep updates on me too.

Next I put one in the kitchen because it can get a lot of angles. I secure it inside a plant. Once again, I give it the thumbs up.

Finally, it is time for his office. Ishir is right in front of the closed door this time. I'm struggling to find a good spot for it. His office is so empty. There's nothing to really hide it behind. I find a decent spot between two bookshelves. He would only find it if he was looking.

I start to put the microphone under the desk, but I hear mumbled speaking.

"Can't sleep?" Says Malcom.

"Yeah." Ishir answers.

"Neither can I. I was gonna smoke to help or something."

His voice got louder. I quickly duck under the desk right before the door opens.

"It should be right here..." He says rustling around in a drawer by the door.

"There it is, but the lighter isn't here."

The lighter. It's on the shelf behind his desk...

"I'll help you look." Ishir says.

His footsteps get close to me. I quickly grab the lighter and set it on top of the desk.

"Found it." Ishir announces.

"Wonderful!"

Their footsteps go out of the door.

"Why don't you join me?" Malcom says.

"Oh I shouldn't..."

"Oh come on, I know you smoke. Loosen up a bit."

Ishir takes a deep breath, "Alright. Let's go to the library and light the fire. It's a little cold in here."

"Amazing idea."

They close the door. Their footsteps get quieter and quieter until I can't hear them anymore.

I quickly finish taping this microphone under the desk. I look at the camera and smile.

"Check one, check two." I say.

I have no idea if it works or not, but it's fun to try.

I slowly crack open the door. The coast is clear, so I step out and close it behind me.

I walk as fast as I can without making noise. I did ballet for a little in middle school, and that taught me to be very light on my feet. I found out which pressure points make the most noise and which make the least. That made me a pro at sneaking out of the house.

I check the hallway to the stairs before stepping out. Once again it is clear. I take a direct path to the back hall where the basement stairs are. The door to that was locked before, but I have to let Ishir take care of that later. I hope he will remember.
