He stood in front of the school gate, like he had done for awhile over the past few months. Watching the kids go by. Waiting for his opportunity. Striking only when he saw fit. He was not impatient like the children inside who waited for the bell to ring. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYlyNP6NMI
He overheard the parents chatting with each other. There had been a lot more of them ever since the first disappearance.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5hkhJLEuk
‘They never found lily’s child did they’ one parent said to another,671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cGe4ooGkP
‘How long has it been now? Two weeks?’ She continued as the other woman nodded. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbDV7vgqUz
‘It’s just horrible. Lily is devastated. To make things worse, Jack’s kid vanished on Thursday; never made it home.’ The lady added grimly.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZREpWOYoA
The man smiled to himself. He had a reputation now. Those parents would never see their kids again. Alive at least. It would be best if they stopped searching. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqmJM1lkNj
He heard the school bell ring, and he stood up straighter. The time had come. He had been watching the girl for days now. Jack’s kid was not as much fun as he hoped he would be. ‘Congenital insensitivity to pain’; that was what the kid had, making the entire process boring. He had buried him soon later.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHUYOM8aTx
His eyes were trained at the exit, waiting for the girl. He approached the gate when he saw her leave. He wrung his hands together. This was his favourite part. He waited, his eyes never leaving her. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioHy98vU0F
‘Hey! Rachel!’ he called out and the girl turned towards him as did the other parents standing there. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o5ypV5Ino
The girl approached him, a questioning look in her eyes.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogK3CoSi5B
‘Do I know you?’ she asked, staying a safe distance from the man. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRxxTV40Q9
The man feigned surprise,671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8SM4yBMNg
‘Don’t you recognise me? Uncle Jim? Your mother’s younger brother’ he said. This line always worked. The kids were too polite to make a scene, especially in front of a relative. That was why this school was perfect.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ASF8wtbn
The girl looked wary, judging the man, however not a minute later, recognition flooded her face. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV01QaBa3Z
‘I am so sorry Uncle Jim. I have been having a rough day. Let’s go’ she said sheepishly and begun to walk, the man in tow.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND695Xf87c
They walked in silence for a while.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wmtONuwxQ
‘When did you arrive? I thought you left the country a while ago’ she said looking up at him. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkrodkS2ZU
He was confused. Did the girl really have an Uncle Jim? 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqFyoJKxuc
‘A month ago. Your mother called.’ He said and the girl nodded. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqbKC9paDa
‘She isn’t at home right now, but we can wait till she comes’ she said as they approached the small house at the end of the street. The man looked around him at the deserted street. The houses were run down and not a soul in sight. Is this where she lived. This was the easiest lift he had ever done. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2UWS4ausJ
The girl led him to the front door of a house that looked like it would not make it through the year. The faded paint was peeling in places and the door creaked when she opened it.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpfmdhkm4q
‘Come on in’ she said, a smile on her face. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdc6OcuV0Z
The man stepped into the old house. He felt odd. Something he had never felt before.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjCgR0oMGj
Dread. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwKDhTEkeI
Every bone in his body told him to turn away, however, one look at the small frame of the girl standing in front of him and he dismissed those thoughts as paranoia only because the place looked oddly similar to his. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyo68VWKDJ
He shut the door behind him and followed the girl into the living room. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7KKZ9aNBb
‘Make yourself comfortable, I’ll get you something to drink’ Rachel said with a smile and disappeared into the kitchen. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg3nxQZlBp
The man sat down on the couch, the odd feeling had slowly begun to dissipate, however that was before he smelt the familiar metallic scent. The smell that usually made him comfortable, now sent a shiver down his spine. What had he walked into. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iIFXh5OTD
Rachel had come back from the kitchen, two glasses in her hand. She handed one over to him and sat down opposite him. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNBvhDsQbN
‘I hope water is okay’ she said as she took a sip from her glass. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKWuC7OeiB
The man stared at the girl in front of him. There was something off about the way she looked at him and the way she smiled. He took a gulp of water. He needed to get out of here, however when he put his empty glass down and saw the wide grin on her face, he knew he had made a mistake. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkODSDAqVYL
His vision had begun to swim. His hands instinctively went up to his head as it begun to pound. He vaguely heard knocking on the door and watched the girl open it. She pulled in a package and opened it. His vision was failing him, but he struggled to keep his eyes open. He knew what would happen if he lost consciousness. His blood ran cold when she pulled out a drill from the cardboard box.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvmNLzpNXp
‘Just in time. The other one had gotten spoilt’ she said looking at him. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTYDigIvlE
The last thing the man remembered was the girl walking up to him. She leaned in and whispered in his ear,671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerGGz7J7ZS
