CHAPTER 2

" It's Harry. Harry Styles. How are you love?" He didn't bother to look at the nurse who asked him the question. He looked directly at me, his thick British accent captivating my senses and leaving me dumbstruck at his sheer politeness. I smiled weakly and took several steps back before saying " I'm quite okay thank you" I told the nurse I had to go help with meal distribution and I turned around sharply and left the west corridor. By the time I turned the corner, my cheeks were flushed and my heart was racing. There was something about Harry that made me feel so vulnerable. Maybe it was the thought of him being a mass murderer of several different women, but I really didn't know.

I tried shaking the feeling off and went towards the kitchen, only to be swarmed by several gossiping nurses.

" Have you heard that..."

" you didn't know..??"

" The man had an accomplice!"

" He's being brought in tomorrow"

I walked up to one of the nurses and I said " Excuse me, what's going on? Who has an accomplice?"

She replied " the man who skinned those women? He had a friend help him kill those poor girls, they're bringing him in tomorrow! It's all so exciting!"

I sighed and murmured a thank you. Too much was happening in the last hour, Harry was brought in and an accomplice that nobody knew about. It was nerve wrecking. I picked up several meals and went into some of the patients rooms, leaving them on the little side tables that they had. I had distributed more meals than I could count that day and I didn't mind at all. I wanted to get my mind off everything.

It was early in the morning when we heard several cars pull up, followed by the sounds of angry protesters. I walked out of the institution, rubbing my eyes sleepily. I was accompanied by many other anxious nurses, waiting to catch a glimpse of the newfound accomplice. Once again, two heavy set police officers came out with a serious expression on their faces. They reached inside and pulled not only once, but twice as the man struggled slightly. I heard a sharp intake of breath and the man was pulled out with no further resistance. Angry yells and shouts pierced the air with volume. The man was shackled from his neck to his feet, the chains restraining his every move. The links covering his body, seeming as if it was eating him whole. He had his head down, covering his face from view as he went up the institution stairs. The man tried to pull away from the officers but was immediately pulled back into order.

He looked up from the floor and fixed his eyes on mine, a devilish grin was placed on his plump lips. I covered my mouth and never bothered to hide my surprise. The man was a handsome devil. He had piercing blue eyes and brown hair, covered up by several years of bleaching. He had the mandatory uniform for the facility already on. The light grey color of the shirt and pants contrasted with his skin, making him look sickly and frail.

By the time the officers brought him towards the door, the man snapped, clearly mad. He thrashed and pulled, the chains tightening around his neck and torso without even realizing it. One of the police officers yelled into his ear and pushed him inside. They dragged him into the west corridor and only one room across Harry's. After the policemen left, all you could hear was a silvery laugh that was short and menacing.
