The Thing in The Corner

Chapter 8: It's a Trap!

     The boys stood there, as if paralyzed. "J....J-Jesse?!" said Derek. "Yeah guys, I patched myself up, the things gone!" said Jesse. "Come to the kitchen!"
The boys walked over to the kitchen. Gene and Derek were ecstatic, but Harley was on edge. "Guys, watch out for anything suspicious," said Harley. "What are you talking about? It's Jesse!" Said Gene. The boys walked in, and found Jesse sitting at the kitchen counter, holding his wound wrapped in goz. "Hey guys," mutters Jesse in pain. "How are you still alive?" asked Derek. "Well after I was stabbed I uh...." Jesse paused for a second. "I uh, looked for the first aid kit and patched myself up. My mom is a nurse after all." "Wow!" Hey where is the first aid kit, I cut my finger," said Gene. "Oh it's just in the bottom cupboard," said Jesse. Gene walked over to the cupboard while Derek and Jesse were talking. Meanwhile, Harley was inspecting the bloody knife. Gene opened the cupboard, and the lifeless body of Jesse fell out. "Ummm, guys?!" whispered Gene in horror. Before anyone could react, Harley sent the knife straight into Jesse's shoulder. "Let's go!" Yelled Harley as he lead the boys to the basement while the fake Jesse ran after them. "How did you know he wasn't the real Jesse?" Asked Derek. Harley replied:
"Jesse's mom isn't a nurse."
