“This Was So Crazy, Charlie Sheen Is Just Way To Over The Top. Charlie Needs To..”- The Phone Rang. I Went Over To Go Answer It. I Looked At The Caller ID And It Was My Mom. “Lisa, Honey, Will You Take Frankie Outside While Were Out Of Town For A Few Days”. I Hate That Dog. He Is So Annoying And His Bark Makes You Want To Kill Yourself. “Yeah, I Will”, I Said. After I Hung Up The Phone, I Realized I Had To Go Let The Dog Out Now Because They Already Left. I Wanted To Make My Bed Because I Hadn’t And It Was Messy. After I Made My Bed I Made My Way Downstairs To Clean Up The Couch.
I Cleaned Up The Couch And I Was Going To Leave, But I Needed To Use The Restroom. I Had To Go So Bad I Thought My Bladder May Explode. As I Was Using The Restroom, I Heard A Slam. “What The Hell Was That?”, I Whispered To Myself. After I Was Done, I Didn’t Even Wash My Hands. I Walked Downstairs To Go Investigate. I Didn’t Feel Safe, At All. It Sounded Like The Front Door Slamming. I Started To Look Everywhere An Entrance To My House Was. “This Will Take Forever”, I Thought. I Walked Into The Kitchen Where The Slam Sounded Like It Came From. I Wouldn’t Have Noticed Anything If My Lock Wasn’t Twisted Away I Couldn’t Have Twisted It From The Inside.
I Dashed To The Phone. The Moment Couldn’t Have Got Any Scarier. I Picked Up The Phone To Dial, But Instead Of Dialing 911, I Dialed My Friend When Someone Answered. The Only Thing Is, It Wasn’t My Friend, Jake, On The Other Line. The Person Told Me, “Hello, Don’t Try To Run Or Tell. I Will Come For You And Kill You If You Do”. I Said, In An Intimidating Voice, “What Did You Do With Jake? Why Are You Doing This”. Jake Was My Almost Boyfriend. We Have Been Talking Since September Which Would Make It Six Months. He Said, “I Do The Question Asking Here And Don’t Worry, I’ll Be Seeing You Soon. Good Luck”.
I Ran To The Door. When I Opened It The Door Swung Me Back And I Landed On My Butt. There Must Have Been A Trap On The Door. I Got Up And Ran Again. I Got The Door Open And Got Outside. I Had My Cell Phone So I Dialed 911 With That. While Dialing, My Phone Exploded On My Ear. It Hurt So Bad. My Ear Was Bleeding Pretty Badly. I Screamed, “What Do You Want With Me?”. I Got Back To The House And While Sneaking In I Saw Someone In The House In All Black By The Computer.
I Wasn’t Sure If I Should Have Made A Run For It So I Waited. I Knew The Car Door Was Closed So I Went To The Car To Open The Door And Lock It Real Quick So All I Would Have To Do Is Run In, Get The Keys, Run Back To The Car, And Shut The Door.
I Walked Back To The Door This Time. He Was Looking Through Family Photos Though. The TV Was Still On. He Got Mad And Screamed, “SHUT UP ABOUT CHARLIE SHEEN”. He Then Got Up And Turned The TV Off. That’s When I Made A Move To Get Inside. I Walked Swiftly Over To The Counter Where The Keys Where. I Grabbed Them And I Heard Him Sit Down. That’s When I Jumped Up And Dashed To The Door. I Never Even Thought About The Trap By The Door That Threw Me Back The First Time. Well, It Did. He Looked Back At Me And Jumped Up. He Dashed Toward Me And I Had To Brawl With Him.
I Pounced On Top Of Him, I Bit Him, And Then I Punched Him In The Face. I Wasn’t Sure Who He Was But I Knew He Has Done Whatever He Was Doing Now Before. He Grabbed Me And Threw Me Into The Counter. I Had Enough Power To Poke My Fingers Through His Mask; To His Eyes. He Screamed And I Pushed Him On The Floor. I Then Tripped Over Him And He Dragged Me Without A Lot Of Power But With Enough Force To Pull Me Back. I Kicked Him In The Face And He Let Go.
I Got Up To Run Outside And I Dashed To The Car And Shut The Door. I Tried To Start The Car But I Was So Nervous, I Couldn’t Really Get The Key In The Slot. Once I Kind Of Cooled Down, I Looked Over And Saw The Guy Coming At Me, To The Car. The Guy Crashed Into The Car And Fell Over. He Had Blood On His Mask (A Crap Load Of Blood). I Opened The Door To Take His Mask Off But Was Kind Of Nervous To See Who It Was. Was It Someone I Knew? Someone I’m Close To? Someone I Hated? There Was Too Much Going Through My Mind So I Checked His Pockets, Hoping To Find A Wallet. I Was In Luck. I Grabbed His Wallet, Jumped Into The Car, And Drove Off. I Didn’t Know What Was Going On But I For Sure Wasn’t Going To Let Frankie Out. I Was Going To Check On Jake.
As I Was Sitting In The Car Pulled Up In Front Of Jake’s House, I Opened The Wallet I Took From “Mystery Man’s” Pocket. I Opened The Wallet, But No ID. I Looked Through All Of The Pockets In The Wallet And All I Found Was A Four Character Code Written On A Business Card. The Card Said, “Ghost Corporations”. I Wasn’t Sure What It Was. It Didn’t Have Anything Else On It. It Was All Wore Off The Card. I Looked Up At The House And Saw That The Door Was Open, But Not Open Enough To Notice It Unless You Really Look. I Got Out Of The Car And Started To Make My Way Up To The House.
Before I Opened The Door I Decided To Look At The Card Once More. The Characters “3469” Kept Going Through My Mind. I Got Up To The Door And My Nerves Kicked In Big Time. I Didn’t Want To Open The Door, To Afraid Of What I’d See. Not Thinking, I Kicked Open The Door And Rushed In. No One Was There So I Ran Through The Living Room To The Kitchen And Grabbed A Stake Knife. I Looked Down For A Minute And Saw Mail Was Scattered On The Ground. I Picked Up The Mail To See What It Was. The Letters Were All Different, But One Stood Out To Me, At Least For His Family.
The Letter Was For Being In Debt. Jake Was Rich Though! What Could Has Caused This To Happen. I Said Softly, “Hmm, This Is Weird”. After I Said This I Heard A Foot Step. I Looked Up And Saw A Mini Bathroom. I Dashed For The Bathroom And Hid Behind The Door. It Was Mr. Mystery Man Again! I Wasn’t Sure What To Do But I Saw Him Drag Jake In. He Turned Around And I Ran Out Of The Bathroom To Stab Him But I Ended Up Slitting The Back Of His Neck. He Fell To The Ground And I Just Looked At Him. He Looked Back At Me But We Didn’t Exchange Words. He Died Within’ 20 Seconds On Looking. He Bled Out Too Much.
I Fell Down To Jake And Checked To See If He Was Ok. He Was Passed Out But I Thought, “He Had To Get Here Some How. Maybe A Car?”. I Ran Out Side To Go See If There Was A Car. I Was Right. There Was. The Car Was Locked Though, And I Had No Key. I Looked Down And Saw A Rock. I Picked It Up And Smashed The Front Window. I Unlocked The Door And Looked Around The Front Seat. There Wasn’t Anything In The Front Seat. I Opened The Back Door. I Found Something. A Suitcase, With A Four Character Code To Unlock It .
I Grabbed The Suitcase And Ran Into The House. Jake Was Coming Back To His Senses When I Ran Over To Him. I Grabbed The Business Card And Read The Numbers “3469” Off In My Head. I Entered In The Numbers On The Suitcase And Opened It. What I Found Was Surprising.
What Was In The Suitcase Was A Map, A Set Of Directions. I Wasn’t Sure If I Should Go To The Location On The Map, But Something Told Me I Should. I Looked Up And Saw A Phone In The Kitchen. I Ran Over To It To Call 911, But Before I Could Call, I Got A Call. I Answered The Call And Another Mystery Man Was On The Other Side. The Mystery Man Said, “I Am Watching You. If You Hang This Call Up… Your DEAD”. I Freaked Out And Hung Up, But I Didn’t Call The Police. For Some Reason, I Knew I Was Being Watched. I Ran Over To Jake And I Looked Down At Him And His Said, “Lisa”. I Said, “Jake, Yes I’m Here”. He Said, “We Need To Leave Now”. I Said, “Why”. He Said, “The Suitcase You Opened, Yeah, It Had A Self Destruct Of Three Minutes. It Has Been Two, And I’m Not Letting My Dirty Blonde Hair Get Burnt”. I Thought, “Me Either Jake, Me Either”.
We Ran Out Of The House, Looked Back, And The House Blew Up. Jake Had His Cell Phone With Him And We Got Another Call.
