Stalking In The Night

Chapter ten

Marley and the others rode in the truck as Latch drove inside the quietness of the neighborhood. Stonshire has many families to choose from. The cold wind hit them in the face as they ride along the neighborhood streets.

Latched parked the truck a block down from where they are doing their killings. Everyone hopped out of the car following Latch. Killian came up to Marley to ask him something as they came up to the house. 

"Isn't that the house that she's in?"

Marley knew who he was talking about. Now taking a closer observation, it really is the girls' home. 

"Yeah . . . Yeah I think it is."

The house they'd be killing at is next door to her house, so this would be great for Marley. 

"Okay, Marley, Killian, Gemar, and Seizure go and kill, us three will stay back," Latch ordered. Getting ready to go in, Seizure grabbed the keys from Latch to unlock the door. It took a good solid minute to get the door open.

Walking inside the dark place, Marley took out his phone switching on the flashlight. Gemar led the way up the stairs into a hallway of doors. Slowly and quietly creeping into the rooms, scanning for any signs of living. Luckily, no kids in the household. Gemar called them over quietly to a room with the couple laying in bed. 

They snuck in quietly as Marley closed the door behind them. Killian and Seizure grabbed them yanking them out of bed. Both women woke up in a fright. Gemar and Marley walked to each women with a knife in hand. The blonde one cried and fought with Seizure while the redhead just cried not bothering to fight with Killian. 

"Please don't hurt us. You want money? Take it. I'll give you all my credit cards and money. I'll tell you the numbers. Just don't hurt us!" The blonde girl begged.

"Sorry, wish that was an option though," Gemar exclaimed. 

It's true though, if they had any other option than to kill, they would take it. But they get paid from the killing government to kill. 

Marley got up close to the blondie knife stabbing at her throat. Gemar instantly cut the redhead's throat. Blondie screamed as the tears trailing down her face. 

"P-please," she sobbed. 

Without a thinking, Marley slit her throat in one shot. Blood sprayed as her limp corpse fell to the floor with a thud after Seizure let go. Puddle of blood starting pooling around the corpse. Since their job is so easy, they fled the house as soon as possible. Once outside, Seizure locked the door behind them so nothing suspicious happened in there. 

Hearing muffled voices, they turned the corner stepping onto the driveway. Hellwood, Latch and Carmin surrounded a person. As Marley got closer, the person is a woman frozen in place. 

"Tell us the reason you are out here or we will kill you," Latch threatened. 

"Look . . . I-I n-needed to g-go for a w-walk. But I h-heard screaming when I-I came out. Please, I b-beg you d-don't hurt m-me," she stammered. 

"What the hell is going on?" Killian asked joining in the triangle. The other three had joined in as well, closing off the circle to trap the poor soul in. Latch ignored Killian's question.

"Why were you going for a walk?" Hellwood intervene. 

"J-just to get m-my mind off of t-things. That's what I'd-do when I'm stressed."

Hellwood got out his knife ready to strike her if she ever did make a sudden move. "Hellwood, put the knife away. I know she's not going to run," Carmin defended.
