Where did my twin go?

The family jewels.

Lauren's POV

"Please tell me that's not what I think it is!" I said slowly with obvious horror in my voice

Max never answered me. He just snapped back to reality and hurried out of the car. In a split second i noticed him getting a gun out of his jacket and positioning it infront of him

I got out of the car as well and followed him in the direction of the house. He was trying to quietly open the door so i just stood behind him in anxiousness

" kick the fucking door open let's get in there!" I said in a rush because max was driving me crazy. We'be been standing out here trying to pick a lock while Sam was in there with a psychopath

" we shouldn't cause a scene" Max hissed at me yanking at the door

The door very slowly creaked open so we stepped inside in a hurry, the downstairs floor was dark. Only one source of light was coming from a little lamb.

Max and I looked up the stairs then at each other, with a little nod we started heading up the stairs, being very careful not to make much noise.

When we did reach the first floor it was quiet aswell, but there was a little light coming from a room. The door was open slightly and there was a weird sound coming from in there

Max seemed to notice it as well because he guided me behind his back with his free hand and started walking toward the room very slowly

I was a second away from peeing my pants. I mean not only were we sneaking into a house of some crazy dude with a gun, we also didn't even know If sam was safe or not. I mean if she had been the one who fired the gun then why was she nowhere to be seen? Wouldn't she have taken off running into the car if she had actually managed to shoot Jared? Only one scenario made sense and that was sam actually being the one who got shot. And I didn't even want to think that was a possibility because if she was hurt i really wouldn't know what to do with my life anymore

We were getting very close to the slightly open door when we heard a weird sound coming from somewhere in the end of the hallway.

Max and I stopped briefly to take a look at each other but then the voice stopped as well. Max gulped and started heading toward the room again, and I was about to follow behind when I heard the same weird noise again.

" Dude what was that?" I whispered softly at max, he just shrugged then urged me to follow him

" no this could be a set up, what the heck was that noise" i hissed at Max again. This time he just slumped his shoulder down while sighing and we started heading towards the direction the noise came from

I led the way this time, since max was probably thinking this was a waste of time. But I really had an off feeling about the slightly open door and the noise that we heard twice. I don't know why but I had a very strong feeling that this was just a set up. Something weird was happening.

When we got to the end of the hallway it lead us to yet another hallway which was shorter than the other one. We continued walking down the hallway very slowly and quietly, as we got closer to the end of hallway the noise came from, everything actually seemed very normal. It was just a normal hallway with doors on each side and a cupboard thing at the end of it. Max gave me an "i told you so" look then started heading back to the room that had the open door. I went to follow but that's when I heard that noise again for the third time. It seems max heard it too because he put his gun into position and started heading towards the cupboard. I followed closely behind. When we were right infront of the cupboard Max began slowly reaching for the handle. That's when the cupboard door flew open and he was hit in the nuts by the corner of it
