Chereads / A Killer Comes Home / Chapter 2 - The Setup

Chapter 2 - The Setup

After three years of being captured the three kids Kaylee, Andre, and Jacob have been fairly close with one another becoming close friends. The three understood the position they were in and after a couple of attempts of breaking out they decided to give up and just live the so-called peaceful lifestyle.

Since the three kids were technically sold to the boss he made sure that they were disciplined so that they wouldn't say anything to the guests or the public. After the arrival of Jacob, the three were placed in a rehabilitation program so that they would be taught to be good house workers. The program would last a year in total so that the children would understand their place in the world and why they were there.

As soon as the rehabilitation program was finished the boss would change their hair and eye color to make sure that they couldn't be easily identified. Kaylee was now a dirty blonde with soft blue eyes which was the opposite of her original color of dark brown. Andre now had dark brown hair instead of his original blonde hair. Then Jacob was given a dark silver color to resemble the family hair color.

The three children would soon be released to work at the mansion as soon as the boss believed that the children were ready. Once ready the three would be given special assignments that were meant to be finished every day before the sunset. Kaylee was to be a maid where she would clean the mansion and take care of the boss. Andre found himself working in the kitchen with the staff where he was taught to cook and prepare meals for the entire family and staff.

While the others had to work with the staff with house works, Jacob found himself working with the house security forces. It seemed that the boss was preparing the next generation of staff for the housekeepers, cooks, and security respectively. The three would most likely find themselves working for the boss's daughter, who was around the same age as the kids. He loved his daughter and one of the rules in the house was to not speak to his daughter or make any contact with her for they would find themselves dead.

The three of them were now ten, and while they were made to follow orders they were still children who wanted to have fun. After every day the three would meet up in their room and speak about their day.

"Ohh let me go first today. I heard the boss and one of the main maids talking this morning" Kaylee put her hand up as she wanted to get the attention of the two boys. "I heard them talking about a party they were going to throw for the young princess." She then continued to go on and on about the plans they had for the boss's daughter and the food that they were going to prepare for her.

After Kaylee's long talk about the party, the two boys became terribly uncomfortable as they started to think about the amount of work they would have to put into the party.

"Please say it ain't so. Spencer will make sure that every piece of food is perfect or he'll have us working all night" Andre said as he laid down on his back and looked at the ceiling and thought about how much he was working recently.

"Don't worry, soon we won't be here for long," Jacob said as he crossed his arms and looked at Andre on the ground.

"What are you talking about? You can't possibly think about leaving this place. Boss said that he'll kill us if he finds us sneaking out of his mansion" Andre said as he jumped back up from the ground.

Kaylee sat there as tears ran down her face, "Really? You think we can leave… we can see our parents again." Tears continued to run down her cheeks as she held Jacobs' hand.

"Lies. Don't believe him, Kaylee, we can't leave this place even if we wanted to." Andre said as he jumped up to his feet to yell at the two of them. "You're going to get us killed. I won't let either me or Kaylee get in trouble."

Jacob looked up at Andre and back at Kaylee as he tried to explain his thought process, "Well ever since I've been put on security I've started to remember the layout of the mansion and the surrounding. I've been planning this for a while and needed a perfect opening for me to finally do it, and that's where the party comes in. While there are many people inside most of the security are going to be inside, and thanks to me we can find a cut in the back fence that leads to the outside. If we can find a perfect opportunity we can take it and leave this place."

As soon as Jacob finished with his little plan Andre stood there wondering if it would actually work, and as he thought about it Kaylee began to hug Jacob. "Oh my god, Jacob. We can actually leave this place because of you. You're my savior" she continued to say as she hugged him and tears ran down his shoulder.

"Exactly! But if we really want this plan to work we have to make sure we don't raise suspicion. We have to make sure we do our work, and once the party starts all three of us meet in the backyard. Once we're there we'll go through the fence and run away and find our parents " Jacob described to the other two as he looked out the window and explained where the fence was.

"This might be the stupidest plan I've ever heard, but if you think we can get out of here let's do it. Let us leave this place… together" Andre said as he placed his hand on top of Jacob's and Kaylee's.
