Forever and Always (Book 2)

Visitor

              The man had just finished placing Caitlin's body in front of her house, just like Kyle had with Courtney's body. In the back of his trunk, he had the body of Evan Scott, which he had shot in the forehead, just like the Caitlin. Sure, killing the boy wasn't apart of the original plan but he needed more room. Now, he had enough room to take his victims, Madeline Asher and Cali Perkins. Then all six rooms would be filled and complete.

             The man drove to Madeline's house and parked across the street. It was around 6:30 in the evening and the man knew that every night after dinner, Madeline would go over to her friend's house which was a street over. All he had to do was wait for the perfect moment. It was a quiet neighborhood so no one was walking around or would see what happened. The man thought it was funny that her parents would allow her to walk alone, knowing there was a kidnapper on the loose. That's what they get for being terrible parents. It was seven o'clock on the dot when the front door opened and Madeline stepped outside.

            She wore her brown hair with streaks of gold in a high ponytail. She was wearing jean shorts and a black tank top. He watched her closely as she put in headphones while walking down the street. Could this get any easier? The man laughed to himself. He drove past her and parked his car. He stepped out of the car and checked inside the mailbox, pretend he lived at the house. She walked past him and as soon as she did that, he snuck up behind me and grabbed her.

              He quickly covered her mouth and wrapped his arms tightly around the girl's flailing body. Despite her best efforts at escaping, he was stronger than her. It didn't take long before he threw her in the back seat of the car. He got in with her, shutting the car door behind them. His windows were tinted so even if someone walked by, it would be hard to see them inside. Her big brown eyes showed true terror in them as the man placed a cloth over her mouth containing chloroform. She tried to scream but that made the chloroform work even quicker. Before he knew it, she was passed out.

            The man climbed into the front seat and started the engine. No one was around to stop him from finishing another successful kidnapping. He smiled to himself as he turned the music on. This one was way too easy, he didn't even break a sweat. Once he pulled up to his hiding spot for his car, he noticed that Gary Michaels was standing before him. Interesting.

          "Hello, Gary. Nice to see you again." The man said.

            "As to you. I see you are doing extremely well." Gary said grinning as he looked over the man's shoulder at the opened car door with the passed out girl in the back seat.

             "Yes, I am. The police have no idea who I am." The man said laughing.

            Gary laughed along with the man but once he stopped, Gary kept laughing which confused the man, but he ignored it. The man turned around and grabbed Madeline from the back seat of the car. He carried her bridal style over to Gary and held her out to him.

           "If you want to talk, then you're carrying her back." The man said, grinning.

             Gary nodded and took the girl from the man's arms. At first, they walked in silence before the man decided to ask, "So what brings you here today?"

           "You're the last person on my list to visit before I die." Gary said, acting as if dying wasn't something to worry about.

           "You're okay this dying? You don't want to try and run?" The man asked.

           "Yes, I've accepted my fate at this point. I'm not a coward, I won't run from Kyle." Gary said.

            The two men reached the entrance of the tunnels and both went inside. Once inside, the man took Madeline from Gary and walked to one of the two open rooms that were left. Gary followed behind him, watching his every move. The man grabbed her arms and placed them in the chains that were connected to the wall. Then he did the same for her ankles. She wouldn't be going anywhere.
