Inside The Walls

Chapter Four

Jorge Hawking invited Jane and her family to his house for tea and cookies to get to know each other and the situation. Jane thought he was a very nice man and it seemed logical to bond over tea; they needed to trust each other.

Mr. Hawking had a lovely large house. It was classic and built in the 1950s. Jane loved the house. Jorge said it was okay to have Borris come along so he did and Borris went to a spot in the living room and barked. He got up on his hind legs and started clawing at the beautiful blue wall. Jane scolded Borris, taking him harshly by the collar. She apologized greatly but all Jorge was thinking was that he hoped Kevin didn't catch up on what Borris was doing. Jorge had a lovely fenced in backyard and he let Borris out in that to run around.

Mr. and Mrs. Robinson made small talk with Mr. Hawking, Mr. Hawking making up everything about his past life. He had memorized a fake life story so that he wouldn't reveal his secret of murdering innocent people and keeping them in the walls of his house.

Jane and David sipped on the tea, having no clue that it had crushed pills floating around in it. The kids ate the cookies, also with crushed pills in them. Jorge gave Borris a treat with the pills in as well before he was sent outside. The pills were a creation that Jorge came up with himself to kill his victims subtly. His method a few years ago wasn't very efficient, as it made a lot of noise. Drilling out the victim's insides while they were still alive, that is. They made for lovely centerpieces. A shame, Jorge thought at the time, that it was too much of a commotion.

Soon after they finished speaking, Jane felt ill. She said they should probably go home. Jorge agreed and wished her well. While David went to retrieve the kids and the dog from the backyard, he found all three kids and the dog dead on the soft grass. He ran back inside to find Jorge Hawking removing a piece of the wall and shoving a lifeless Mrs. Robinson into the lovely painted blue wall. David lunges towards Jorge, ready to get him arrested. Although the poison caught up to David. Foam bubbled from his mouth and his eyes rolled back into his head as he crumpled to the ground.

Jorge Hawking collected the bodies, a new dog addition to his collection. Jorge put each body neatly into the walls while emitting an evil laugh as he did so. Jorge called up a realtor after he cleaned up, explaining how he was moving back to his hometown because his mother was sick and would like to sell his home. The realtor arranged for an open house as Jorge started packing up his house, ready to be sold to another family.
