Undercover Killer

Chapter four

After breakfast, you cleaned all the dishes and decided to start cleaning the boy's rooms since most of them had work or similar stuff to do. Grabbing the cleaning gear, you entered the first room that was just beside your own. Upon entering you immediately recognized the room as Baron's, since it was the same as the other day. With a duster, you ran over every surface, inspecting every decoration in the room, which was quite a few since the room was kept rather clean, you really only had to dust the room off and fix the sheets, plus picking up some random clothes lying around the room. As you picked up a sweater the smell of Baron immediately hit your face and sudden redness rose up to your cheeks. The boy really smelled like a little piece of heaven. You fastly shook it off and grabbed the clothes, putting them in a basket making sure to remember which one was in case you were going to wash them later.

The second room you had entered was a complete opposite to the one of Baron. There were piles of chips bags and other random snacks. On top of that, there was a big pile of clothing on the bed with a laptop peeking out of the sheets, also the blinds were closed making it impossible to navigate through the room. Taking a big breath you wriggled your way through the mess on the ground towards the window, opening it alongside the blinds.  Only now you really realized the chaos that lay before you. Rolling up your sleeves you started picking up random things on the floor and compiling them into piles that would make it easier for you to sort later on. When you turned to the bed you jumped to see the sheets and all thrash on it move and reveal a sleeping Jacob. You released the breath you didn't realize you were holding and gently smiled, somehow you expected this from him.  

Carefully not to wake him up, you took everything from his bed and sorted them on the piles you had already created and went to close the binds once again, deciding to just do his room later when he woke up. 

The rest of the rooms were not much of interest and you were never really certain to whom which room belonged to since, after all, you didn't really know much about each of the guys you were living with and on second thought this was really suspicious from an outsider perspective yet, you felt so familiar to them, especially to two of the members. You really couldn't explain it, it was just some connection that one could not really understand but was definitely existent.

The last room you had entered was completely different from all the rooms in the house. Built like a science lab, you observed the many chemicals that were on the shelves, watching as some of them even changed colors, while others randomly turned from a solid form to liquid and back. Scratching your head, you start taking down all of the glasses and dust the place of. 

"What are you doing!"

A voice from behind made you jump as they shouted loudly making you drop your cleaning gear. You turned around to face a red-faced Lou giving you one of the scariest expressions you had seen in actually forever. Trying to explain yourself, you were quickly interrupted by the man in white. 

"Don't you know how dangerous these chemicals are?! Do you want to blow us all up?!"

You gulped heavily. Of course, you had been screamed at before yet none of them impacted you as much as this man right in front of you had. Not knowing why you started crying rivers, only to rush out of the room into your own. It wasn't even meant that harsh since you may would have done some serious damage to not only yourself but also maybe the people around you if you had handled the chemicals in the wrong way, but there just was something about Lou making you feel like you didn't want to get on his bad side and right now you felt like you made some irreversible mistake. Driven by your fear, you quickly packed the small thing you had and ran outside in the darkness, making sure to not even leave a trail behind, as you disappeared in the now crack of the evening. 

"Lou where is she?"

Baron came rushing into Lou's room, just as the doctor was done sorting the chemicals back up his shelve. "What do you mean?" Lou calmly asked, putting the last glass on the small wooden board. 

"We can't find (Y/N). Your room was the last one she cleaned!" 

In a swift turn, the now wide-eyed doctor rushed to the door into the night. Lou cursed himself as he took turns so precisely like he knew where he was supposed to search for you. He had to be better at controlling his feeling especially around you. The boy instinctively touched the small area behind his ear that he always managed to hide so well and cursed himself once again for the snake mark that was now starting to hurt. 

In one of the dark alleys not for from where Lou was, a dark figure had already pinned you to the wall holding a knife very close to your hip area while choking you with his strong hand, making you beg for at least some form of an allowance to breathe. The knife was scratching on your mark, making it more painful than any other scratch. You recognized this man as the bodyguard you had met a few day back yet you didn't know his name, nor his purpose, nor why he knew how to make you feel the most pain you had every experience, but you were never really able to ask all those questions since as soon as a familiar shout rung in your ears you passed out.
