"And I call that a pleasure..." Johann muttered as he slowly shifted Isac's sad and desperate expression. Turning into an excited and cynical one.
"This is perfect!" He said as he took a step forward while Rory took a step back and kept the gun pointed at him.
Johann's face was cruel and cunning. It's like being face to face with a glorified vicious devil.
Adam and Emil warily watched by the door.
"It's good that you know. It only makes it more fun to play with you!" Johann adds and then turned to the two.
"You will have your turn. So you can go for now." He said to them and then turned back to Rory with the same psychotic expression on his face.
"I waited so long for this moment! To see that face while you shake and beg for me to just end it all!"
"Maybe Isac was right after all! You are different. Which only makes it more exciting to toy with you!"
"Bring him back!" Rory yells at him and cocks the gun. She was scared with all honesty because being face to face with Johann does justice to all the rumors about him.
His presence can make you tremble in fear. That even when he speaks, you're already frozen.
Johann scoffed and continued advancing towards her while Rory continuously steps back.
To him, it was exciting to see the way her hands shake while holding the gun. The way her eyes tremble while looking at him alertly."I'd rather you shoot me! Unless you are as weak as him!" Johann mocked and suddenly grabbed the gun and pressed it to his chest.
He leans closer to Rory with a devilish grin.
"You can't pull the trigger! Your shaking hands say it all." He whispered to her.
"You think I can't shoot!?" Rory snapped and glared back at him.
She saw in her peripheral vision that Emil and Adam are quietly going behind Johann. So she figured to keep his attention to her.
"Bring him back or I'll shoot!" Rory warns that made Johann suddenly laugh.
"As if you could! If you shoot me! You're also gonna hurt your precious boyfriend and it's obvious you can't do that when you're too much of a coward to---"
Johann didn't finish when Rory suddenly pushed him and shot him by the leg. He groaned and stumbled in response, but just as when he was about to throw a hand to the girl. Emil puts him on a headlock from behind while Adam kicks his leg that Rory shot.
Rory uses the gun and knocks him out. Rendering the man unconscious.
They looked at each other with heavy breathings and nervous expressions.
"This is real! It's really him!" Emil muttered while looking at Isac's unconscious body.
He was shaking. Not just because of finding the truth. But also realizing that they have been side by side with a serial killer for a long time. He could've died whenever he pokes fun of Isac.
Adam immediately moves and grabbed the walkie talkie from the dead officer. He tried reaching out to the authority while Emil grabbed a cable to tie Isac's hands.
Rory just stood and watched. Her eyes could not leave his leg that she shot which now bleed and staining the tiled floor.
"Don't think too much about it. He's done way worse." Adam says to her and beckons at the dead body on the other side of the bed.
