Francine
All of them jumped up as I peeked over to their spot. The girl even screamed a bit. "Uh, sorry for scaring you but I overheard your conversation and thought maybe I could help?" Everyone sighed in relief upon seeing me, or probably the Colby Brock merch that I was wearing. "I didn't mean to scare you."
Elton, the man holding up the camera, pointed his light on my face and everyone gasped at how bad my face looks. My scratched-up cheek had a gauze on and the surrounding skin was bruised. The cut on my eyebrow was still there but thankfully, my lips were not swelling anymore.
"What happened to you?" Colby Brock was the first one to ask. I gave him a pained smile and shook my head, taking the hood off and revealing my jet-black hair.
"Sorry, not a good story to tell. I'm Francine, great to finally meet you guys. Well, it would be better to not meet in a place like this but, I'll take what I can get." I gave a small smile and offered a hand to all of them to shake.
"Are you a fan?" Sam asked as he shook my hand with a polite smile, but I could tell that he was still cautious of me.
"Yeah, if the XPLR merch is not enough, I'm subscribed to you guys, well except for Amanda. I do follow her on Instagram though." One by one, I shook hands with all of them. Sam, Amanda, and Elton dropped their guards around me, but Corey was still cautious, which I understand. Colby, on the other hand, had his eyes on the gauze on my cheek with a worried look. "Uh, back to the situation. So, you guys are filming another overnight in this mall, right?"
"Yeah, but we kept hearing noises down there and the others are getting scared." Elton explained.
"Yeah, about the noises, some were probably me trying to get up here. My ankle's a bit sprained so I had a hard time being quiet." I gave them an apologetic look. "But yeah, there are probably other people than us here, like cops and other trespassers."
"Yeah, we heard sirens earlier and they stopped so we ran up here. I figured that they're already here." Elton said.
"You guys should really be careful. I remember in your last video in this place that Elton was almost caught by the cops." I said, remembering that nerve wrecking video of Elton running around with a camera on hand to grab his SD card. "And yes, they probably have been alerted as soon as you stepped foot into the property."
"How about you? You look like you've been here a bit longer than us." Corey said. It made me realize how it was probably my fault that they were spotted early in this mall, especially with the cops watching me in the shadows.
"Uh, the cops may or may not be watching me in the shadows." They all looked at me in confusion before taking a step back. I realized how bad my own sentence made me look. "I promise I'm not on their watch list because I did something bad. They are watching over me to ensure my safety from possible murderers lurking here or from myself." As soon as I said it, I immediately regretted it.
I slipped.
I slipped big time.
This is bad.
"From yourself? You a psychopath or something?" Elton asked, curious of my mental state. However, Colby and Sam looked a bit worried, more from the former than the latter.
