Justin's P.O.V
I got into the bathroom and quickly closed the door behind me. I knew he was still there... following me, though I didn't look back when I was walking.
I was panting real hard as my body rested on the door. I couldn't think of what to do.
Just when I thought I was fried... I saw a hole in the ceiling... just above the water closet. I heaved a sigh and wiped away my tears as I dashed to the toilet and climbed the water closet and then I climbed into the ceiling.
I heard three knocks at the door. I quickly lay down on the extremely dirty ceiling just so I won't make any sound. I was so lucky I wore black... and so my weight will be distributed and I won't break through the ceiling and fall. It was really weak.
Then I heard the door open. "So we finally meet, Justin Cole!" I heard John's deep, evil voice say. He knew I was here.
I didn't reply 'cause I was hiding from him. I would have probably been down there... face to face with the legendary John Coyde... but I didn't know why my cowardly heart chose not to. All I did was to try so hard not to sneeze or do anything that will make him notice me.
"Where the fuck are you kid? Show yourself!" He yelled and I got even more frightened. I didn't want to kill him and I didn't want to get killed by him either. But I had a feeling that one of us was going to die today.
I heard him pacing about... looking everywhere for me.
"Cole!" I heard him yell in a horribly hostile voice.
Immediately... a rat ran towards me probably for safety. I could feel the rat's body brush my arm. It was most probably frightened... and I can't blame it. JC is a monster.
"So the motherfucker is actually here." He said. I could visualize his face smirking. I heard him cocked his gun and scoff.
I closed my eyes tightly and prayed.
Coyde's P.O.V
When I got into the restroom... I looked everywhere for Justin Cole but I didn't find him... though he just got in some seconds before I did.
There was nobody in the bathroom but I knew there was no way he could have escaped. There was no window in here that a human being could fit in and I didn't see him walk out of here either.
Just when I was about to give up looking for him, I saw a small hole in the ceiling directly over a water closet.
I knew he was up there so I yelled. "Cole!"
Immediately, I heard something moving in the ceiling. I could spot where the sound came from. The place wasn't too far from the hole I spotted before.
"So the motherfucker is actually here" I said and smirked.
I got the pistol from my pocket and cocked it. Then I aimed at the spot in the ceiling where the sound I heard came from.
'This is it! The end of Justin Cole!' I thought.
I thought of Anastasia for a moment... how hard she is going to cry when she finds out about his death. But I brushed the thoughts away. I couldn't let anything distract me. This was a golden opportunity for me... and I wasn't going to miss it for anything.
I shot the spot and everywhere around it multiple times. I was sure he was dead!
Then I heard some sounds of footsteps from outside... and I knew I had to leave quickly.. After all, my job here was already done.
I put the pistol in my back pocket and quickly walked out.
I met a man standing at the door as I opened it. He looked like he had been crying for a long time... obviously because of the Coles' death. He was old with hair that was black but grey at the ends.
He looked at me suspiciously, and I looked down... so he couldn't actually see my face.
After some seconds of both of us standing by the door with an awkward silence, I walked swiftly past him.
I walked towards my car and drove away fast. So the 'mysterious man' won't somehow find Justin's dead body and come for me.
**********************
When I got home, I was so happy, I was actually smiling. I was so elated about my achievement; I killed an only child on the day of his parents' burial.
"Hey dad!" Anastasia greeted. "Wow... why are you smiling this much?" She asked. She obviously noticed because I don't always smile this much at home.
"I just got a contract!" I lied,
"Wow... that's great dad!"
"I'm so proud of you, honey." Vanessa said to me as she walked from the kitchen towards me. She wrapped her arms tightly around me.
"Oh, so you guys still behave romantically." Anastasia teased and laughed.
"Why don't you go and freshen up upstairs, I'll be with you in a while." Vanessa said and smiled then walked back to the kitchen.
Anastasia followed her mom to the kitchen and then I went upstairs to my room. I felt kinda bad about Anastasia. How bad she would feel when she finds out on Monday about her 'boyfriend's' death.
