Lachlan's POV:

The gunshots rang through-out the neighborhood. Soon, sirens could be heard and more gunshots. This is gonna be a long night. I should really move away from the city, it's dangerous, especially with this serial killer on the loose.

After laying in bed for about a half an hour I got up to get ready for work. I take a hot shower and just think. I get out and dry off and get dressed. I brush my teeth and go downstairs and grab my phone and keys. I get in my car and drive to the mental facility. I work as a caretaker to some of the patients there. I get there and Mia, the lady behind the counter gives me a smile. I use my key card to get in. I go start everything like I normally do. I go over to my first patient, Harry first. I knock on the door.

"Go away Lachlan" Harry yells. He's in a mood today.

"Harry, breakfast is in about an hour." I yell through the door. I hear him huff.

"Okay." He says. I go to my only other patient, Preston. I again knock on the door. Preston opens the door and smiles at me. He's very quiet and doesn't talk a lot.

"Breakfast in an hour." I said. He just nods. "Do you need anything?" I ask. We aren't supposed to give them anything but I give him papers and pens because he likes to draw.

"Can I get some more paper please?" He asks in a quiet whisper. I nod. He closes the door and I go grab some paper and bring it back to his room. I knock and he opens the door back up. I hand him the paper. "Thank you." He smiles.

"You're welcome." I say and walk back towards the office to see if Mia has anything for me to do. "Hey Mia. Is there anything you need help with?"

"Not right now, but you have a new patient coming in later." She says.

"Okay, what do I need to know?" I ask.

"His name is Simon."

"As in the serial killer? They finally caught him?"

"Yes and yes. He won't be able to hurt you, you'll be fine." At this point I didn't know what to think, my blood ran cold. I have to take care of a serial killer. My life just hit peak, didn't it.

"Ok." Was all I could manage to say. "Is it ok if I go for a walk before breakfast?" I asked. Normally one of the patients needed help or Mia needed help doing paperwork. She nodded and I went out. I breathed in the crisp morning air. It was nice out, not too warm, not too cold.

Yes, I know Simon needs to be in a mental facility, but why does he have to be my patient? Why this facility. Mia says that he can't hurt me, but how? I mean, he won't have a gun or knife or anything like that, but what if he chokes me or something? Alright Lachlan, stop thinking. I walked over to the bakery/café on our street. I walked in and smelled the aroma of all the delicious food and drinks. It smelled absolutely amazing there. I ordered a black coffee and left. I drank my coffee and looked at the time. 6:53. Almost time for breakfast.

I walk back to the facility and throw my empty cup away. I scan my card and go in. I go to Harry's door and knock. He opens the door.

"What?" He asks.

"Breakfast." I tell Harry and he follows. I get Preston and take them to the cafeteria. I sat with two of my co-workers. Vik and Tobi. Vik takes care of Rob, Mitch and Ethan. Tobi takes care of Josh, Jerome and Olijide, or JJ

"We have a new patient coming today, who got him? It wasn't me" Vik said.

"I did." I mumbled.

"You did? Who is it?" Tobi asked.

"Simon Minter." Both of them gave a shocked look.

"The serial killer?" Vikk looked worried.

"Yeah, they finally caught him."

"Wow. Goodluck Lachy Dachy" Tobi said.

"Thanks, Tobs."

As soon as breakfast was over we took the patients back to their rooms and you could hear the sound of struggle in the meeting room. Vik and I rushed to see what was going on. We got there and there stood Simon Minter. He was trying to get away. Vik gave me a sympathetic look. I have to take care of this serial killer. He killed so many people... who's to say I won't be his next victim? They finally tased him and got him to his room. His room had a lock on the outside.

"Lachlan" I turned around to see Mia standing there. "There's something you should know about Simon before you start taking care of him." I nodded and followed her into the office.

"What do I need to know?" I gulped.

"Don't show any fear, he'll take advantage of that. Also, keep a taser on you at all times in case he tries something." She handed me a taser. "But leave it in the office when you go home. He won't be able to leave his room, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served to his room. He's not allowed to be near any of the other patients. Any questions?" I was trying to take it all in.

"No." I stated plainly. I didn't have any other response. How don't you show fear to a serial killer? That's just.... HOW?

"You can go take care of your patients now." Mia told me. I walked out of the office.

"You Okay Lachlan? You look a bit pale." Tobi said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just trying to take in that I have to help a serial killer." I mumbled the last part. Tobi just nodded and gave me a sympathetic smile. This is not gonna go so well.... is it?
