Chereads / The Devil Is Back / Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

Kenneth looked around the room. It was dimly lit and the room was clearly used as a storage room. There wasn't a window in the room so he couldn't get out of the room that way. The only thing he could see in the room were boxes, two brooms, a garbage bin, and some random little and medium sized boxes on the shelf. He thought about what the guys would store in the room, so he searched the whole room, for something he could use to open the door.

Back at the Margot's hotel room, she wasn't sure about what to do while waiting around for Kenneth. "Why the f*ck did I agree to come here again?" Margot said to herself. She grabbed her luggage from the door and started to unpack her stuff. "Did I not bring anything else other than clothes?!" Margot said jokingly to herself.

"Are we even supposed to go back here?!" A muffled female voice can be heard from outside Margot's hotel room. "Didn't you get her text? She told us to come go to her room to meet back up with her.�� Another muffled female voice added. Margot silently went to her oom to hear what they were saying. "I know, but, I'm just worried you know? What if she isn't there tonight?" The voices faded, and Magot opened her door, and took a little peek. She got a glimpse of two girls before they took a turn. "What are those two up too?" Margot whispered to herself. As her curiosity grew more, she couldn't help but try to follow the two.

Back at the penthouse, Kenneth had an idea. He thought of pushing the shelf so that the boxes and other things that are on the shelf could fall and make a lot of noise. He did just that and it made a lot of noise, shattered glass, books, papers, some guns all fell onto the floor with the boxes. "Hopefully that should be enough noise to make them go up here.

10 minutes later Kenneth heard footsteps and muffled voices. He couldn't figure out what the voices were saying but he knew one was angry. "Why the f*ck did you leave your f*cking post?!" The muffled angry voice turned out to be Joshua being angry at what he presumed Charlie. "I- I didn't even know this would happen!" Charlie protested. Then the door opened. Kenneth could see how angry Joshua was at the sight of the room being very cluttered, and seeing that the girl wasn't in the room anymore.

"Ah finally!" Kenneth jokingly shouted from the back of the room. Joshua became very confused as he saw Kenneth at the back of the room. Kenneth quickly stood up and made his way out of the room. "Where's the girl?" Joshua asked both Kenneth and Charlie with a calm tone. "I- I don-"

"I told Charlie to take a short break and I also told him that I would take his place for a while, then all of a sudden I heard a huge bang! Like a gun kind of bang. So I went up to the door, took a little peek and saw that the girl wasn't there. So I went inside the room, and then BANG again! Ok stay with me here, THE F*CKING DOOR GOT SHUT BEHIND ME! And that's all that happened." Kenneth explained cutting off Charlie.

Joshua looked confused, trying to consume what Kenneth just said. "What he said." Charlie shrugged and Joshua took a deep breath. "But where the f*ck is the girl?" Joshua said calmly. Silence arose, Joshua grew impatient. "WHERE, IS, THE, F*CKING, GIRL!"

"Where did they go?" Margot said to herself curiously as she kept looking for the two girls who crossed her room earlier. She heard a door shut from the left side, so she went on and went to the left corridor. "She isn't here." A voice that sounded like the voice from earlier said. Margot quietly walked near the second door to listen. "You have got to be patient for once." Another said annoyed. Then all of a sudden, CLASH. Margt heard glass shattering from the background. "I'm here." A new voice arose after the sound of the broken glass.

"What the f*ck is going on?!" Margot silently said to herself. She heard footsteps coming from the other side of the corridor. She quickly tried to look like she was going back to the penthouse. "I couldn't even see anything in there… Might as well go up there…" And Margot did just that. She walked up to the elevator and pressed the top button to the top floor.

DING the elevator chimed. "DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW?!" Joshua shouted from the living room. Then she saw Joshua, Kenneth, and one other guy walking towards her. Joshua was angry, Kenneth kept calm and the other guy was panicking. "What's going on?" Margot asked. "No time to explain, I'll tell you everything later." Kenneth hurriedly said as the three of them hopped on the elevator and went down. "Y'all have got to be kidding me." Margot said to herself.

Since there's no one at the penthouse right now, Margot opened up the curtains, turned the t.v on, and relaxed on the huge white couch.

"Feliz, the girl is gone, check security." Joshua said on the phone. "Connerman, you go bottom to 1st floor, I'll check the middle and Presley you go double check upstairs." Joshua commanded. "Do you realize that we are on the same elevator right now?" Kenneth pointed out. "We'll lose at least 5-7 minutes here." Kenneth added. DING the elevator chimed, the three reached the 2nd floor. "Go find the girl quickly then." Joshua said getting out of the elevator. Keneth got out and decided to take the other elevator, and went back up to the top floor.

Kenneth got back to the penthouse and went straight to the living room area. He got there and saw Magot already sleeping on the couch. "You've got to be f*cking kidding me." Kenneth complained as Margot had already taken his idea of just sleeping on the couch instead of doing any work. With no choice, Kenneth looked around the place.

Joshua silently walked around the corridors to see if there was anything suspicious. He took a left on the corridor and heard muffled voices. "We have got to get out of here��" One said. "We should, but we can't. They're hiding something. And I have got to know what it is." Another said, sounding like the girl that escaped from the penthouse earlier. "Why?! It's not like they have something that belongs to us, right?" Another said. Joshua heard footsteps from behind him. He slowly grabbed his gun from behind him and, "Hey, Feliz told me to come to you, check if everything is alright." Van said. "You idiot, I could've shot you." Joshua protested.

Joshua put his ear back on the door to listen, but he couldn't hear anything anymore. He signalled Van to be ready to enter the room.

3, he gestured.

Van bursts thru the door, gun on his hands. "What's going on?!" One said. Joshua entered the room as Van continued to walk further in the room. Joshua noticed something odd in the room. He walked near the desk, moved it back. "Ah, a pile of broken glass I see." Joshua said. He quickly opened the curtain and yes, the window was broken.

Joshua looked at the two girls. "Where is she?"
