The Frightening Business: The Secret Room

Chapter 9

The building exploded by sending stones in all directions. The hell flames were flying in the sky, the smoke had triggered an alert in the city. Police and firefighters arrived at full speed. Julian fell to the ground, heavily wounded in the leg. The flames were behind him. He crawled quickly to the street so the flames would not reach him.
"Do not you regret anything?" asked a speaker in the flames. He continued to crawl until a firefighter took him and the ambulances arrived.

1 hour later...

Julian opened his eyes, he was in the hospital, lying in a bed.
"They are dead ..." said a voice in the shadows. "Daniel, Max ..." the voice was that of Elise crying in the corner of the room.
"What, I ..." Julian's voice broke. Suddenly, the light of the room blinded him and he heard the voice of Susie, then that of Kevin.
"Julian, Julian?" Elise asked. Julian noticed that the hospital room became dark, he was in a room in the Monkey's Park building.
"What, Daniel, Max?" Daniel and Max were there.
"Calm down, you fainted." Daniel answered.
"I ... do not understand, the building exploded." said Julian, scared.
"Uh ... no we're still inside, we just climbed the ladder and we got here, we're almost out." Kevin replied. Julian got up disoriented because he just happened.
"Come on, come on, we have to climb those stairs again and we're out," Kevin said. They all climbed the stairs together. Suddenly, someone grabbed Julian by the collar. Everyone turned around. The man who had caught Julian was Edward.
"Let Julian go!" yelled Kevin. "You said you will let us go, you have to take the elevator!" Edward squeezed Julian's collar even further and pulled out a knife and put it close to Julian's neck. "No, first you will return my tablet and you will take the elevator!" Said Edward. Susie took the tablet out of her bag and handed it to Edward. "Hold on," Susie said. Edward took the tablet quickly and put it in his left hand.
"Well, now go down with the ladder." Edward said. "Also take these gas masks if you want to survive." Edward threw them 5 gas masks.
"And Julian?" Susie asked with an angry look.
"He'll come with me, hurry up, or I'll kill him." Edward replied. The group went down quickly. And Edward slowly climbed the stairs with Julian. "Who are you?" asked Julian calmly.
"I am Edward, the father of your friend John."
"What?" Julian could not believe it. "What do you want?" Julian asked.
"I want to get rid of creation and you will help me do it."
"You already said it." Edward stopped abruptly.
"That's the spirit prison? "
"How do you know? "
"I have visions." Edward chuckled,
"You're funny."
"Explain to me what's going on," Julian yelled angrily, "Why did my sister die here?"
"She was killed," Edward replied, changing his reaction instantly.
"No, she died crushed by a train."
"It's a lie."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because I saw." Julian did not answer for a moment, Edward went on walking.
"How did you see her?"
"Because that I killed her"
