Why Am I Here? I am lost

- Message In A Dream - #3

I slowly walked towards the door, and attempted to open it without making a sound.
"Why am I doing this? I'm in someone's home!"
I thought to myself.

The door opened, and what do you know. It squeaks.

"Huh?"

Shit...

"Hello?"

"Ah... hello?"

A young man was sitting, reading a book, and beside him was a glass filled with what seemed to be whiskey (I noticed the bottle)

"Great detective work Seb"
I murmured to myself

"Who... are you?"

"My name is Sebastian Wonders. I'm a detective-"

"Why are you here?"

"I... followed... something. I, don't really know why I'm here."

He had long brown hair tied back, with glasses on. His expression wasn't one of being alarmed.

"What are you looking for?"

"I... don't know. Look, I'm sorry. I'll be going."

As I turned around to leave, the door slammed shut.

"There's a reason you're here. Isn't there?"

"Ah... um... who are you?"

"My name is Harry. Harry Clover. Pleasure to meet you!"

"I... I seen you die. What... I..."

"You're remembering aren't you? Hmm. Do you know why I died?"

"I... you were murdered?!"

"No. It was suicide."

"What do you mean?"

"That was no murder, at least... it wasn't what it looked like anyway. No, I planned my own death. I angered the wrong people. Unconscious of my acting's, and what I wanted. The book corrupted me. It drove me mad. I wasn't in control. Or.. so I believe..."

"Do you mean... 'The Evil One" done this to you?"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW OF ITS EXISTENCE?"

"I found the book... I remember... faintly... at the scene of your death. I should have put one and one together."

"YOU... read the pages then..? Huh..."

Harry looked afraid, his face showed it all - but that fear wasn't for himself.

"You need to put a stop to them Sebastian! You must!"

"Put a stop to who exactly?"

"THE CULT!"

"Who? What cult?"

"They've been in control of everything for years. For far too long! They've destroyed so many peoples lives... They must be stopped! Or else the entire world could be at stake!"

"The entire world huh? Can I get a description?"

"They wore masks, with a hood over the top, and around their necks."

"...was the hood, purple by any chance?"

"Yes... how did you know? Have they gotten to you too?"

"No, but they did murder a man of the Lockwell family. The wife of the man who was murdered told us of their description also. So... The... 'CULT' was the reason behind the missing people then. I'll need to update my team. Thank you Harry. You've given me all I need."

"So you did find what you were looking for then."

"I... guess I did then. Huh."

I turned towards the door, and while I was about to leave...

"Be careful out there Sebastian. May God be by your side!"

I mutter under my breath;
"May God rest your soul Harry..."
