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. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06kbEbDgey
He overheard the parents chatting with each other. There had been a lot more of them ever since the first disappearance.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSpfHFrNOW
‘They never found lily’s child did they’ one parent said to another,704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni6VJpbz8u
‘How long has it been now? Two weeks?’ She continued as the other woman nodded. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYj773KPKi
‘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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHPoIOILmx
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. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v9UwWX7Lr
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDVakizQEP
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. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9s6DZz67T
‘Hey! Rachel!’ he called out and the girl turned towards him as did the other parents standing there. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9I77tfZfw
The girl approached him, a questioning look in her eyes.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1uZPtHZdn
‘Do I know you?’ she asked, staying a safe distance from the man. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UzsLl0qHd
The man feigned surprise,704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM7HmK2N2v
‘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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zqJ1t9Xow
The girl looked wary, judging the man, however not a minute later, recognition flooded her face. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOaajwfF60
‘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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrykh0wnweq
They walked in silence for a while.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXR7mczFS3
‘When did you arrive? I thought you left the country a while ago’ she said looking up at him. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBi5hGayWu
He was confused. Did the girl really have an Uncle Jim? 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLfU76ChQT
‘A month ago. Your mother called.’ He said and the girl nodded. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6DWR42cQm
‘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. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY4Zpf3Wtr
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOKvP6z4A
‘Come on in’ she said, a smile on her face. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN7yEiilTr
The man stepped into the old house. He felt odd. Something he had never felt before.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86gf2l6c3y
Dread. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItHUQsjj9L
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. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFcdAm8vRW
He shut the door behind him and followed the girl into the living room. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRrYGzkAjR
‘Make yourself comfortable, I’ll get you something to drink’ Rachel said with a smile and disappeared into the kitchen. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItdWGwVZ3K
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. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTzTYtdG7u
Rachel had come back from the kitchen, two glasses in her hand. She handed one over to him and sat down opposite him. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡist4FZPmBj
‘I hope water is okay’ she said as she took a sip from her glass. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULhkgQRGPo
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. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjR0zqrHfJ
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IQHKZKQU4
‘Just in time. The other one had gotten spoilt’ she said looking at him. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeC35zNZMN
The last thing the man remembered was the girl walking up to him. She leaned in and whispered in his ear,704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh0N54fXlK
