The Brothers

Richard Williams & Andrew Williams, two brothers who always stick together. Until one got praised more than the other, making the elder grew jealous, to the point he distanced himself.

30th October 1979
He stared at the picture of him and Andrew, he gazed at Andrew on that picture in a creepy manner. Until Eleanor walked in.

"Richard...What are you doing?" She asked, concerned. Richard flinched, immediately turning at the woman. Richard giggled nervously, walking over to Eleanor who had her arms crossed.

"I reassure you, it's nothing." He said firmly, making Eleanor's body tremble. Richard then walked away from the room, leaving the woman speechless.

She knew he was up to something, something sinister.

The next day, the hotel was like always, filled with guest complaints and many people wanting to try and stay at it. "Look, lady..I'm not sure what to say but I assure you that we have at least checked every single goddamn room to make sure it's clean and no spiders...but how the hell did one even ended up there!?" Samuel said in complete denial, wanting to punch the woman that stood in front of him.

"Now, now, Samuel...maybe you should calm dow-" Scott tried to persuade him, patting his shoulders with a nervous face. "I AM CALM!" He yelled, immediately throwing himself onto the chair while he glared at the woman. The woman gulped, rushing away from the front desk and into the elevator she went.

"This. WAS THE SEVENTH TIME THIS WEEK!" He yelled, covering his face with his palms, screaming into it. Richard had walked into the main lobby, only to find a distressed Samuel and Scott attempting to calm him down. "Heyy you two!! I'm sorry for bothering you guys but can I speak with Scott for a moment?" Richard said.

The two of them looked at each other, then at Richard. Scott nodded as he said, "Sure! I don't necessarily mind." Scott smiled, unaware of what Richard was going to do to him.

They went into a guest room that wasn't occupied, Scott sat on the bed while Richard has locked the door and stood in front of Scott. Scott tilted his head. "Why did you lock the door?" He asked nervously. Richard chuckled. "It's about Andrew." Said Richard.

Scott looked at him, unfazed. "What about him?" He asked. Richard rolled his eyes. "I was actually planning to kill him, but I suppose somebody should at least offer me some help." He said calmly, still locking eye contact with Scott. Scott eyes' widen. "You plot to kill your own brother!? You're sick in the head!" He shouted, backing away from Richard.

"I know he's a dick sometimes, but I think plotting his own death has crossed the line!" He continued, standing up whilst he poked his finger at Richards chest. The engineer grabbed Scott by the shoulder strongly, staring at him. "Oh but you're too good at secrets, so I thought you didn't mind at all!" Richard attempted to excuse himself.

Scott suddenly threw Richard against the wall, making Richard hurt a little. "Heh...You're tough for somebody small as you." He joked. "You are lucky, but you can't run away from me, Scott Hansley." Richard said menacingly.

Scott dashed out of the room, closing the door behind him. Scott took a couple breaths after he was in a few rooms away from that psycho. He gasped, hugging himself tightly as he leaned against the wall.

"I should tell Andrew about this. Before it's too late."
