You didn't know what to say, you were in shock as you saw the man all tied up, you looked at the other one who was just glaring at him.

"Why are you doing this?" You ask at the man, only for him to slowly turn to you, a puzzled expression on his face, "all of this... I don't get why you're involving me in this." Your head slowly lays on the cushion, your eyes looking at the dusty and bloodied wooden floor. You didn't know what to do anymore, you were scared of this man who now had you in his grip, the police would be no help since he would kill you with no hesitation if you called.

But after you even asked him that the only answer he gave you was silence, that was the only thing he gave you ever since you first saw him, it wasn't that clear what his goal was, you understood he wanted to get the killer yet he let him go even though he was in front of him.

"Now that he knows I'm here, he's gonna try and find other ways to find you." Your eyes suddenly moved to his figure, he was standing in front of you now, crouching down so he could look at you in the eyes. There was a different look in them but you couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was.

They weren't mad or anything.

You sit up comfortably to look at him, trying to accommodate yourself on the couch so you wouldn't hurt your shoulder. His eyes took a glance at your injured shoulder, it was still bleeding a bit, "I'm gonna have to go to the hospital for this." You say, "I don't think it's gonna heal on its own." Of course he didn't say anything, he never replied to your questions.

But a sudden question popped up in your head, your eyes moved from your injury to look at him, would it be too random to ask for his name? You couldn't be addressing him with some stupid name, at least he could answer that no?

"You seem curious about something." He says, he read your mind, after all the disaster that happened you couldn't help but feel awkward seeing the man who held you at gunpoint a few hours ago, he was just sitting on the floor looking at you with nothing to do.

For some reason, even after this disastrous event happened, there was this absurd feeling in your gut, if you were gonna be acquaintances with the man in front of you might as well get to know him a little bit and his actual motives.

"What's your name?" You just needed to get it out of the question, this surprised him though it got a reaction out of him, his brows raised slightly at that, you earned a small chuckle from him.

"Out of all things you're worried about is my name?" He asks, a small yet noticeable smile on his face, maybe he was expecting a question like why he was going after that smiling guy, but you decided to save that question for later you didn't want him to cut your head off for questioning his personal goal. He sighs and just gets it over with. "My name is Liu." He responds.

That name hit your head like a truck, Liu was his name, you had a Liu in your life before, and it was almost weird to hear that specific name in here, your eyes widening when he said it.

You were about to speak but it was interrupted when a sudden thump was heard behind him, Liu quickly turned around, the guy with the goggles finally woke up. It sent you into alert you weren't sure what to do, "calm down he's tied up." He says as he walks towards him, grabbing the guy by his hair, "so, Toby you decided to help him out, what's your deal?" Liu asks, jerking the guy's head back to make him look in his eyes.

Toby was his name, yet you didn't know how Liu knew his name in the first place, did they knew each other before? This was bringing more questions. You weren't sure what was going on at this point.

The boy– Toby – decided not to speak and kept silence, his eyes piercing through your soul, even with those goggles he had on you could feel those eyes burning yours, what was his deal?

Liu jerked Toby's head back a bit more so he could pay attention to him instead, but Toby finally speaks up in which made Liu freeze in an instant, "(Y/n)." His deep voice caused a reaction from you, the hairs from the back of your neck suddenly standing up when he said your name.

You get up from your seat quickly, logic hitting you in the head, why were you here? Why were you trying to make a conversation with Liu all of the sudden?

You needed to get out of here, but it looked like Toby wasn't done speaking, "he's looking for you, (Y/n), now that he knows who you are, he's gonna turn you into one of his most precious trophies." You couldn't exactly see his face but with the sound of his voice you could tell he was smiling.

Liu in the other hand, looked at you with crazy eyes, he didn't move and stared at you intently.

You darted out of the house, not looking back at him nor Toby, at this point find the nearest police station, file a report and get your injury treated, you were insulting yourself for agreeing to be bait, this wasn't something you wanted at all.

You very much preferred the boring little life you had than this. Why does the other killer want you for? What did you even do to him in the first place other than witnessing his last kill?

You couldn't care less, you knew you needed to get the hell out of there and find help as soon as possible, and hopefully the police catch those killers that were after you.
