Let's Play!

Burning

Jessica's POV

"I'm not coming today. Just tell Mr. Lawton that I'm sick." I pulled the blanket to cover my head."

"Jess, if you're not coming, then we will not go too! Plus, I know that you're not sick." Mary pulled the blanket that I used to cover my head.

"I know that you're up for something." Brian added

"Ok. We'll just tell Mr. Lawton that I have a fever, you have diarrhea and Brian will be left to watch us, ok?" I requested .

"Deal." they replied simultaneously.

When Mr. Lawton came, Brian told him what he needs to say while I am lying in my bed with a wet towel in my forehead and Mary was in the bathroom making fake screams which convinced Mr. Lawton to let us stay in the hotel.  Besides, the trip is not that exciting because it is just another historical landmark tour.

*&*

It was already fifteen minutes since the group left. I started the plan.

"We need to get rid of the dolls but the management should not know.  I know that my dream has a meaning. It just feels that they will kill us in a pattern. We just need to burn them so that they could not return anymore."  

"We just need to burn them. That's it and the work is done!"  Mary sounded excited.

"But the question is, how will we burn them secretly? This room is like full of CCTV cameras, sprinklers and smoke detectors!" Brian has a a point.

"Let's burn them in the bathroom where there is no CCTVs.  We'll just cover the smoke detectors with paper so that it will not sense the smoke. Let's go, we have six hours!"  I let my mind work.

*&*

Brian grabbed the metal trash can and we placed it in the bathroom.  We don't have any paper to burn so we asked for pieces of carton from the reception.  We just told them that we will make a pop-up map of the city and they are convinced.

*&*

The preparation was done and our plan is to burn three dolls at a time so it will not take us an hour to finish the job.

"Jess, here are the dolls." Mary handed three ugly dolls to me and I placed them in the garbage bin that we will use to do the burning. I opened Brian's butane can and poured it to the dolls. Then, I switched the lighter on and burned the end of the carton and placed in the burning area. The bin ignited immediately and the foul smell of plastic and gas almost suffocated us in the bathroom.

"Whoa! That smelled so bad!" Brian covered his nose.

"We need to continue. Mary get some dolls." I ordered.

Then, she got three dolls again. We followed the same procedure: place the dolls, pour the gas and BURN! 

After like an hour and a half of burning, we finished all eighteen dolls.  We decided to go shopping to buy some things and have a victory lunch for ourselves!

*&*

(At the restaurant)

"Cheers for the victory!" Mary raised her glass of champagne.

"Cheers!" we replied simultaneously.

We continued to celebrate.

"Mary, what time is it?" Brian asked.

"Uhmm. It's already 3 PM." she replied.

"Oh. They should be back in fifteen minutes! Let's get moving!" we ran outside and caught a cab just as we reached the road.

*&*

"Hotel de Paris please! As fast as you can!" Mary ordered while panthing and catchig her breath.

"We should be back in seven minutes ad do the acting again." Brian got the fever cooling cloth and the diarrhea med that we bought from the mall. Yes, we bought them for acting.

*&*

After like six minutes we arrived at the hotel. We hurriedly went for the elevator and pressed the button that signifies the floor level.  As soon as we arrived at our room, Mr. Lawton called Brian to ask for our condition but he just said that we feel a bit better but still sick so he dismissed the call.

We prepared for another acting as we saw the tour van coming.  We lost consciousness as we were in the middle of the acting.  Maybe because of exhaustion. Or maybe because of another reason.
