My name is Nicco DeLillo, and for the past 8 years, I've been living in Paragould, Arkansas. Before I moved here, I used to live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The sudden move was a difficult change for me, but I soon did call Paragould my home.

My mother and I moved here when I was 18, and I remember I was against the entire thing. My mother, Janet, kept telling me this was for the best. But she never told me why we had to move so far away, into a whole other country. All she told me was that we were meeting a man who was highly interested in me. When I finally met him, I knew something was off.

The man was around 5 '4 or shorter and looked about 290-360 pounds, he had brown hair, with an ugly bald spot, and he was wearing a fancy black suit. He smirked at me when our eyes met, and then came over to me smiling. Then gave me a big hug. I pushed his arms away from me.

I looked over at my mother, "who is he?" I asked her. She looked away; trembling, with a pale face and tight lips. The man turned to look at her. "You never told him Janet?" The man asked her, looking upset. What does he mean by that? My mom shook her head no, and the man turned to look at me again.
"My name is Lenny, and I have an offer for you" Lenny told me while smirking again. "Well it's more like an order and you can't escape!" He said, laughing.

Ever since we moved to Paragould, I've been working at a hotel called Hampton Inn. I'm the only employee that's allowed to live at the hotel. After I had gotten hired, I told my manager my 'situation'.

After my story, the manager was understanding so he told me I could live here on one condition; I work from 6am to 6pm, and if Ryan, my coworker, couldn't make it, then I would fill in for him. I also wouldn't get paid overtime filling in.

On the plane ride to Paragould, Lenny was telling me a lot of information. "Look kid, I started something not too long ago, and so I'm going to need you to finish the job. You need to kill two girls, Megan and-" Lenny told me. I can't remember the other girl's name at all.

I did eventually meet Megan.
