My Downfall | Killers List #3

A Monster Resides

Sowon rolled over the side of the bed and grabbed her phone that was ringing. Her naked body was wrapped in the warm sheets, but they weren't her bed sheets. She looked at the caller ID and declined the call immediately.

"Who was that?" The woman, also naked, asked as she rolled over.

"Just a friend," Sowon lied. It was Eunha calling, but she wasn't going to admit that.

"Do you have to go? I was hoping you could stay a bit longer." The woman looked at Sowon with pleading eyes.

"I could go for a second round" Sowon smiled. She covered their bodies with the sheets and began again. Sowon was getting involved in a horrible mess.

"Are you ready to go?" Yerin impatiently stood by the door and waited for Umji and Eunbi.

"We're coming down." Umji appeared out of nowhere and honestly scared Yerin a bit, but what was even more terrifying is what Yerin saw next. She watched Eunbi slowly walk down the stairs. She was dressed in all black as usual when they went on missions, but it was the look in Eunbi's eyes and her facial expression that had Yerin nervously gulping and hurrying out the door. She had never seen Eunbi look like that, so deadly.

"So where's the location?" Yerin asked after she got in the car.

"It's just the apartments about a mile away. I already know what room we're going to so just follow me there," Umji said while she loaded her gun with bullets.

"What if her boyfriend is there? The guy that she's cheating on her husband with?" Eunbi asked. She was sitting in the back seat as usual.

"Then we kill him, simple as that." Yerin looked at Eunbi through the review mirror.

"Well there is one thing I forgot to say. She also has a baby." Umji knew that Yerin wouldn't turn back just because she had a baby but she knew that Eunbi would.

"We can't do this then. She has a child that needs her." Eunbi, as expected, refused to continue the mission with this information in mind.

"It's just a baby, I'll take care of it." Yerin offered.

"No we're not murdering a fucking baby! Do you understand how disgusting that is?!"

"It's not disgusting. It's a human just like the others. The woman was once a baby, the baby will grow up to be an adult, it's the same thing so why does it matter?"

"You just can't kill a baby. It's wrong."

"Oh so you can kill an adult but not a baby? You wimp." Yerin rolled her eyes.

"It's not called being a wimp. It's called having a heart! It's something you don't have," Eunbi argued.

"I'm killing that baby whether you like it or not." Yerin glared at Eunbi through the review mirror and continued to drive in silence.

"Alright so which apartment room is she in?" Yerin yawned as she got out of the car.

"Just follow me." Umji led the two up what seemed to be an endless amount of stairs.

"Does she live all the way at the top? Jeez." Yerin huffed. She wasn't as physically fit as she use to be since she hadn't gone to the gym in awhile.

"It's right here. Room 408." Umji knocked on the door and waited for the oblivious woman to open the door and invite her murderers inside.

She had no clue what was going to happen to her. Yerin already had her hand resting on her gun that was in her hostler. Eunbi and Yerin stood on the sides of the door so the woman couldn't see them through the peephole. She could only see innocent looking Umji. Then she invited them in.

Yerin immediately came around the corner and rushed her. Umji and Eunbi both took a step back and let Yerin push the woman inside. Eunbi ran inside after Umji and shut the door and locked it. After that everything went quiet for a moment. The woman stayed sitting on the floor, staring at her child in the crib with hopeless eyes. The three began to close all the windows and cover them with the curtains. Now no one could see inside or out.

"What are you doing? Please don't hurt my son." She glanced at the crib as she begged for mercy.

"No one likes a cheater." Yerin was towering over her.

"It was an accident," she said, but that's what they always said, and Yerin never believed it.

"Oh so this was an accident? Your baby is an accident? Because quite frankly your son looks nothing like your husbands." Yerin picked up the baby by his shirt and held a picture of the husband next to his face. They were completely different in terms of physical appearance.

"I'm sorry I cheated. Please don't hurt us," she pleaded for the sake of her child.

"I'm going to kill you, not hurt you." Yerin set the baby back down in the crib and placed the picture back on the kitchen counter.

"Just let my child go."

"It's officially 4:00 pm, your time is up."

The woman didn't speak another word. Yerin shot her within seconds, and it even left Umji and Eunbi frightened because of how fast it happened. It happened in the blink of an eye.

"Let's get out of here before someone calls the police about hearing gunshots." Eunbi hurried to the door.

"We're not done here. We have a witness." Yerin looked over at the baby crying in his crib.

"Yerin, no." Umji grabbed Yerin's wrist and tried pulling her away.

"He can't even speak yet. He is like three months old." Eunbi tried to convince Yerin to let the baby live.

"He will be able to speak soon. Then he'll tell everyone about what happened." Yerin had a deadly look in her eyes.

"Yerin, please," Eunbi begged.

"He's just a baby, nothing more." Yerin pointed her gun at the little boy's head, her hands shaking a bit.

"Yerin," Eunbi cried as she tugged as Yerin's sleeves. She couldn't watch a baby die right in front of her eyes.

"Look away, both of you." Yerin warned them. Umji turned around and faced the door, her eyes closed with her hands covering her ears.

Eunbi on the other hand kept grasping onto Yerin's clothing, begging her not to harm the innocent newborn. Yerin didn't care if Eunbi was watching at this point. She had no time to waste. Eunbi reached out for the gun in Yerin's hands but it was too late. The blood splattered on both of their faces, and that had Eunbi screaming and crying. Yerin watched the baby soak itself and the sheets in his blood. She ignored the fact that Eunbi kept hitting her chest with her fist.

"You murdered an innocent baby!" Eunbi punched and punched at Yerin's chest.

"It was just a baby. Grow up." Yerin pushed her away and continued back down the stairs. They left no tracks behind and kept the door open for anyone walking down the hall to see.

Eunbi couldn't look at Yerin anymore, at least she couldn't look at her the same way she use to. She thought maybe she had a soft side and could be nice, but this event proved her wrong. Yerin was a monster, nothing less and nothing more.
