As I'm walking down the cement steps, I feel a vibration in my pocket. I take my phone out and see my screen informing me that I received a text message from an unknown number. 'I know who you are.' I read. I sigh and go to block the number. Suddenly, my ringtone goes off and I realize I'm getting a phone call. "Hello?" I ask. "If you block me, I'll kill your family." A gruff voice replies. I freeze. "I know who you are. I know what you can do. I know you've killed people." The voice continues. "What are you talking about?" I say, trying to keep my voice steady. "You know what I'm talking about. Now, listen very carefully," The voice orders. "If you don't do what I say, when I say, I will expose you, and you can say goodbye to your family." I swallow hard, wondering what to say. I open my mouth when to respond when the voice says, "Don't speak." I immediately close my mouth.

"Good. To answer your question, you can call me 'Boss' for now. I will communicate with you via phone. If you don't do what I say, there will be consequences. When I give you a mission, you will complete it with no hesitation. You can also refer to me as 'Sir.' Any questions?" He finishes. "No, sir," I respond. "Good. Oh, there are papers on your desk in your room. Read over them. Goodbye." He says as I hear him hang up. 

I stand there, silently trying to comprehend what happened. I start to walk home. I tried so hard to hide my abilities. My phone pings and I check it again. 'Unknown number sent an image.' Before opening it, I save the number as 'Boss.' I open the image and my heart starts to pound as I realize it's a picture of my house. 

Who could this be? I walk slowly home. A hacker? A prank? I open the door to my house and step inside.
