Stalking In The Night

Chapter twenty seven

Daniel drove home from work that night with his mind racing with the possible thoughts how Maya could still be stalked. And that Nik guy. Daniel finds him sketchy for some reason he can't out his finger on it. It seemed fishy how Nik doesn't want to go to the cops about something so serious as this. 

Threatening the person doesn't help anything in this situation. It only makes the person a bigger target than they are already. Daniel thought of ways how she's still being stalked. 

How is it possible that she's still being stalked and by who? 

Daniel pulled up to his driveway ready to take a nap for tonight. Getting out of the car, he yanked his bag from the back. Walking into the quiet home Daniel set the bag on his rocking chair as he quickly took a shower. Setting his alarm he crawled into bed falling asleep. 

When Marley woke up, he quickly got dressed, heading to the washroom real quick. On his way out Marley got a water bottle for the drive since his throat is always dry. Taking a sip as he locked up the front door. Trotting down the steps then jogging towards the truck. Latch sat in the driver's seat on his phone waiting for the others to get going. 

Marley climbed into the back of the truck. Getting settled with his back to the window taking a sip of water, He pulled out his phone putting it on silent and waited for the others. He surfed through on Facebook. It didn't take long for the boys to gather in. Everyone was silent through the trip. Marley didn't even notice it was so quiet.

He finally looked up when Latch parked. Taking one long chug of water, he set it aside hopping from the back. Tucking his phone in the back pocket as he walked with the others. Getting on the driveway, Latch told himself, Marley, Seizure, Killian to kill. 

Latch opened the door quietly as a mouse. The old door creaked open as the four walked inside. Making their way up the creaky wooden planks as they stepped on each. Marley fell behind from the others as he did his best to not wake up anyone. In the middle of the stairs, he stood for two minutes hearing anything or if one of the family members woke up. 

Marley waved the others to go ahead since they're up there waiting. He saw them disappear into the long hallway up ahead. Proceeding, Marley ran up the steps as best as he could without making a sound. Clenching his jaw Marley saw a door open figuring they are in there.

Walking up to the door, Marley slipped in unnoticed and saw a baby sleeping peacefully in the crib. Thinking it's not a great idea to wake it up, he moved on to find the other three in the home. Slipping out, he quietly closed the door sparing the infant a little longer. 

He heard muffled voices in the next door over. Slipping through the door Marley spotted Latch holding a women with Seizure holding a knife up to her throat pleading to not hurt her. Killian holding a knife up to the man's throat. Marley trotted over to Killian with knife in hand. 

Raising to his neck just piercing the skin. 

"Do you want money?"

"No," Killian replied sternly.

"Please," the women shrieked. 

"Sorry to have to do this to you," Seizure confessed then 'accidently' slipped the knife to her throat. 

"No!" the husband screamed as tears ran down his face. Latch dropped the limp corpse making a loud thud. 

"If I were you, I would keep it down. You wouldn't want your dear baby waking now would you?" Marley asked politely smirking. 

"Stay away from her." He warned.

"Or what, you'll call the police?"

The guy was silent. "Well, you're no good to us so goodnight."

"Wait-" Marley interrupted him by slitting his throat. In the hallway they heard cries from the next room over. "I've got it." 

Marley walked out from the parent's room into the baby as she cried. Her cries filled the room and prob'ly the home. He picked her up started rocking back and forth calming her down. Reaching behind his back for the knife just as she is starting to calm down. 

The baby is awake making sounds as he's swiping the knife slowly on her back. Stopping at the neck, he pushed the knife through fast, killing her instantly. Taking the knife out, he set her down back in her crib.

Walking out of the house not bothering to wake up the household. He met the others on the driveway. They walked back to the truck hopping into their spots. Daniel took a sip of water not waiting any longer to crawl into his comfy bed for the night.
