"I can't believe she wanted to use me for sex," I cringed when Mr. Clay grunted out loud, "she was my favourite killer, it's sad to see her turn against us." He tutted as we all watched the blood rush out of her scalp as her eyes indicated eternal surrender. Her death was so easy to the point where I had doubts. I guessed that Mr. Denis had already plotted her against us so she could get easily shot.

"We don't have time to waste, let's go." Levy encouraged us impatiently as we waited when his dad took a look at the area outside before we all went out. He raised a thumb indicating that it was all clear before we stepped out.

The snores of both men were heard as we soundlessly trailed behind each other to their other interconnecting room, where the hidden locker was drilled into the wall, Levy found it as he silently pointed to the locker to his dad and wasted no time, he put in the code while I held the flashlight. I made sure to pray internally that this would work out without any problems.

But as usual, that was never the case, as one of the brothers woke up to enter the kitchen which also had a view of the other room we were in. I quickly turned off the flashlight and sucked in a breath in order not to let a sound out as Levy, his dad and I ducked under the opaque table that was beside the kitchen door. My erratic heartbeat was somehow soothed with Levy's hand in mine, he knew that I used to have panic attacks from before, it occurred only when I was scared of something.

Thankfully, everything was spacious in their rooms including the tables so we all sat cross-legged, Levy squeezed my hand in assurance as the silence coated us with dangerous consequences.

One of the brothers opened the kitchen door and didn't close the door behind him, as soon as we heard the sound of his bedroom door being shut, his dad offered to attempt to open the locker so he crawled as we both held in a laugh at his dad crawling like a baby, he turned around and glared at us as he turned back, reaching the locker, he put in the code quickly and opened it successfully, retrieving the tape, we both cheered internally as I gave a Levy a quiet high-five.

Our victory was lived short when the sound of the door being opened was heard, but Mr. Clay handled the sticky situation like a champion, he closed the locker gently and crawled so fast to us that I was surprised his knee caps didn't hurt him.

I wanted to sigh in relief that the tape was protected with us now. Another reason why we wanted to get the tape back apart from exposing my nudity, was that Mr. Denis wanted it to tell his family to target me and that came with lethal consequences, if he targeted me, he would target my parents too and I didn't want anything dangerous to happen to them.

The brother went back as his shadow faded into the other room, his dad clicked on the unlock device as all the webcams in the room were discharged, one of them seemed to be the dumbest person because he never bothered to close the kitchen door, which had the fire exit we wanted to escape through because there was no way we would risk the other brother who was awake to capture us.

As soon as I crawled out, Levy captured both of my legs in his hold and pulled me to him, I wanted to scream but remembered that we were still inside the room beside the brothers. He placed me on his lap and slapped a hand gently on my mouth to stop me from making a sound like one of them emerged back into the room, groaning about how his girlfriend thought he was small-sized, I rolled my eyes as my back laid on Levy's chest.

He stayed longer in the kitchen, doing God knows what in the middle of the night. My legs were cramped and I needed sleep the way I needed food as well. We could barely see anything because we were facing a blue wall with no source of light except the flashlight which was off currently.

Levy removed his hand from my lips as I breathed in the fresh air and his dad motioned for us to start crawling to the other couch that was closer to the kitchen. Luckily, the couch's back was longer than the table and could cover us up, all we had to do was crawl there and we were safe. It also blocked the other room where the other brother was still sleeping.

My knees were weak as I slowly crawled behind Levy and his dad was taking the league. We seemed like a pack of dogs at the moment as we wiggled our legs to crawl properly. We reached the back of the couch and sat, still waiting for the brother. The hairs on my back stood up when we heard the voice of the brother that was in the kitchen.

"What do you mean she is dead?" Mr. Denis shouted as the other brother, Mr. Clarence, his big footsteps were heard on the creaky ground as he rushed to his brother in the kitchen, opening the light in the room. I closed my eyes a little bit, adjusting to the light as I opened them again.

"She can't be dead, she's the most successful killer, she can't be!" he hollered some more. I smiled at the fact that they were suffering but stopped when I heard the last dreadful sentence that he uttered to his brother as the sound of the phone being crashed on the table was heard.

"We need to find them." They said.
