Wild Space

Breaking open the plastic wrap felt like diffusing a time bomb.

Somehow this told me, I was near and I am not going to run around like a chicken head anymore.

The plastic wrap was a hard one that sealed the paper inside safely. As I ripped out the last insulation tape from it, I felt my heart literally beat in anticipation.

The note which was a paper, obviously, was the size of a small note. To my frustration, it simply read, "THANK YOU" in bold thick print. I was so ready to rip anything apart from when I felt the light of my table lamb that there was some shiny glistening on the paper. Since the paper was little thick, I got an idea.

When we were young, Tom and I used to write secret messages and pass it around discreetly and had a good laugh behind my enemies; exactly, by mocking them. Tiffany was my inspiration.

Reminding me of that, I ran to retrieve my hair dryer, set it on the heat and warmed up the paper. Then, with the glitter that I knew was somewhere in my craft box, I put them on it and viola, the glitter stuck to the letter.

I knew it, you are... awesome girl. Wasn't this a nice game?

It was trickier since I thought you will rip this into shreds and that will get everything into the avalanche. Don't bother asking how you or I know about this secret message. I have seen you do this with Tom all the time when you were young.

Oops, did I say that aloud? Well, yes... I am always around you.

On the next full moon, ask Stephen to take you to St.Dominic cliffs. Make sure he leaves and you are alone. There will be a trail to the back of the cliff where you will find a clearing in front of the cliff wall. Just tap around in front of the clearing, to activate the panel and type in your birthday. It will open and you can enter.

There! This is your final clue. Breathe...

P.S at all times; be cautious of an incessant beep which is a warning. When the beep accumulates to constant ringing; run!

Do you think I have some other clue or help to make understand this damn cryptic note? Nope! I was standing in the final stage of hopscotch with no chance of survival. With my logic, I think she asked me to run out through the door to safety. What if I forgot the passage? What was that ring thing she said? What could possibly go wrong?

Boom!

A loud cracking voice alerted me completely from my own questionnaire. Good thing I was still in my jeans and tank top. Stuffing the note into my back pocket, I opened the door to find Simon rushed to me, stuffing a pistol into my hands, asking me to save Tiffany and Evelyn. Confused, I stood around and looked the hallway up and down to find the screams of Tiffany oozing from downstairs.

Adrenalin shot up as I ran through the hallway and reached the stairway. I was astonished to find five men clad in black terrorizing the women with no sign of the men in this house. Looking at Evelyn, she looked poised and calm but Tiffany was whimpering and screaming like a scared cat. 

Well, I can't blame that painted Barbie. She wouldn't break a sweat, but break her nail; she is your mama cat.

The masked men wore a disguise and their voice felt robotic.

"Where is Lillian Liana Parker?"

Because Tiffany was dead scared, she couldn't open her mouth. However, Evelyn was doing a good job in masking her fear, she said, "We don't have her here. You should ask Tom."
