It was the evening as Tyler was seen at his house, He was constantly messaging Scarlett, telling her his plans of marriage and children's, He was also warning her about the money again. Hoping to get it finished by next week, Soon he decided to call Scarlett on the phone as she answered the phone.

Tyler: *On Call* Hey Scar, How are you doing in this fine evening?

Scarlett: *On Call* Tyler, Leave me alone. . . I'm going to report you to the police.

Tyler: *On Call* You think I'm scared of the police? I have ideas, Scar. The police aren't gonna take me away from you, sweetheart.

He could hear Scarlett crying again, Maybe she was so tired of all of this. However, he had a smirk on his face and enjoyed seeing the fear in her.

Tyler: Aww, don't cry, sweetheart. Should I come over?

Scarlett: *Sobbing* NO!

He chuckled again and continued speaking to her. However, she wasn't answering him. Finally, he gave Scarlett one last warning before hanging up the call as he relaxed on the couch, holding his can of bear.

Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from upstairs, He looked confused and immediately got up and went to investigate the sound, as Tyler made it upstairs. He immediately opened his bedroom door and looked around.

There was no one inside, though. Tyler continued looking around as he quickly walked towards the window and saw nothing, He sighed and thought it was just his imagination.

Suddenly, Tyler felt someone grab him from behind, their hands around his throat, choking him. Tyler gasped for air, trying to fight back and free himself, their grip tightening as Tyler frantically searched for a way out of this dangerous situation, but the hands around his neck grew more and more painful.

He was slowly losing consciousness, His vision became more blurry as Tyler slowly passed out and everything was black.

[Two hours later]

Tyler slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a room, He was tired and took a deep breath, trying to understand what was going on. . . That was until he realised he was tied up in a bed, completely trapped and helpless, His mouth was covered in tape as Tyler's eyes widened. He tried to get out, but there was no way as Tyler began looking around the dark room.

Suddenly, the light blub opened, reflecting a dim light around the room. He heard footsteps as Tyler looked up and saw a man with an apron, walking towards him. He couldn't recognise the person in the darkness until he got closer and saw who it was.

Alex: You're awake now.

Tyler stared in shock as Alex clenched his fist and continued staring at him, He was ready to finish what he had been planning, and Ambrose knew he was going to enjoy this.

He slowly took off the tape from his mouth as Alex looked at the supplies that he borrowed from his grandfather's workshop as Tyler yelled at him.

Tyler: You! Aren't you that kid from college? Why are you doing this to me?

Alex: You're not stupid, Are you?

Tyler gritted his teeth until he noticed something on Alex's hand.
