Chapter 4: A-

Chapter 4:Duncanhouse..............

I got in the car and sat beside Paul.

John drove.

“Where are we going now?” I asked John.

 “Uh …Fred Duncan’s house.” He answered.

 “Fred Duncan??? Is his middle name William?” I asked.

 \“Yeah, you know em?” John asked.

 “He would always flirt with me at work. He never left me alone. That’s one reason why I quit.” I said.

 “We’ll stay by you the whole time you don’t have to worry about him bothering you.” Paul said.

 “Ok, thanks guys.” I said to them.

vWhen we got there I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car with Paul and John’s help.

We walked to the front step and rang the doorbell.

Fred opened the door.

“Aileen?” He asked surprised.

 “Hi, Fred.” I said calmly.

 “Wow, ha-ha you got old. I’m just kidding. It’s been a long time. How are you and Caleb doing? More importantly how are you doing?” He asked.

I felt like I could breath and my heart stopped.

Tears filled up in my eyes.

“Man, ladies are so emotional. What did I say?” He asked annoyed.

 “Caleb’s… ” Paul mouthed dead so it wouldn’t make me sad.

Fred’s eyes got huge.

“Omigosh! I don’t know what to say. This is a big shocker! How’d he die?” He asked making me cringe.

 “He was in someone’s house when that someone blew it up.” Paul explained.

 “Wait this someone killed him on purpose?” Fred asked.

“Yeah.” I replied.

 “I’m sorry for your loss.” Fred said.

“Thanks.” I said sadly.

“Please come in.” Fred said.

 We all walked into his home and it had a brown recliner by the front door and a red and brown striped couch right by it and in front was a TV.

 He had a lamp on by the couch too and a coffee table in front of the couch.

 His kitchen was small. It looked like it had brand new appliances though.

“Nice place.” I mumbled.

 “Thanks. You know what you smell really good.” He said grabbing my hair and smelling it.

 “Hey, just get back you don’t understand that you’re making her feel uncomfortable?” Paul asked.

“Sorry.” Fred said.

 “Let’s just cut to the chase, why did you call us???” John asked.

 “Heh-heh!”

 “What???” John asked annoyed.

 “Sorry my dogs name is Chase, because he chased cars and stuff. Anyway my dog has been acting strange and this morning about1:00it was still dark outside.”

“Duh.” Paul mumbled.

Fred didn’t hear him.

I smiled a little.

 “I saw a figure outside my window. The figure was running back and forth and was about this tall.” He said reaching up showing the height.

 “Hmm. Can you show us the exact spot?” John asked. 

 “Yeah come on!!” He said gesturing to outside in the back.

We followed him and we looked at the footprints.

 “A man, probably about a size 12 or 13 in shoes.” I said looking at the footprints.

 Paul smiled at me.

“How do you know that it was a man??” Fred asked me.

 “Women’s shoes don’t come in that size. Too big.”

 “Oh.” Fred said.

 “Well what could the person be here for??” I asked.

Everyone shrugged.

 I looked across from me and saw a note appear in the grass.

 “That wasn’t there a minute ago was it??” I asked everyone.

I walked over to it and picked it up.

I read……

 “Dear Aileen. I’m sorry about Caleb, but we have business to do, and I will see you soon.”

 Aaron..

I dropped it then jumped backwards and screamed.

 “He’s after me.” I said falling to the ground crying.

 “Who?” Fred asked concerned.

 “Aaron.” I choked out between sobs.

 “Are you ok?” Paul and John asked.

 “No. I’m going home I have to stay inside my house I have to, its very important that I stay away from Aaron he’s very dangerous.”

 “Ok you can go home. You need a ride??” John asked me.

 “Yeah.” I said walking to him.

 “Alright come on.” He said as he placed his hand on my back and walked with me.

 “Bye Aileen.” Everyone said except Fred.

 “Bye.” Fred said smiling a little.

 “Bye, everyone.” I said looking at the ground as I became closer and closer to John’s car.
