After a day !
Now they were standing opposite to the hotel Croves ! There plan was simple to sneak inside these hotel and search every corner of the hotel !.
Because of the murder case , they couldn't search the hotel properly and their mission was delayed a bit but still they found a clue when they were in the hotel !
The worker room ! Which only worker was allowed .....that's the only room they didn't search since they didn't have the key for that room .
But now they had the keys !
Austin asked her while looking at the hotel
"Did you get the keys ?"
Sera took out a old key from her pocket!
The room key was still in Liam hand's and he forgot to handover it to tim back but he forgot about it soon . When Clara threw Liam on the floor , the key fell down from his pockets ! At that time Sera took the keys secretly and kept it .
They got the keys easily! Or else they have to do a lot of work to get these keys .
Austin took the keys and glanced at his watch . It was exactly 10 : 20 PM , there works could be very easier now since there are no people residing in the hotel now .
George quit the job , there are no resident in the hotel now except manager Charles and tim .
So now they could easily sneak inside the hotel and search the room .
Austin looked at Sera and said with smile
"Ever played tag?"
Sera looked at him silently
"..."
Austin laughed saying
"Yes absolutely right ! We are going to play it ...."
She definitely began to regret following him now . But it was too late ....she had no choice to play with him .....
...
Inside the hotel ,
Tim was cleaning the floor while humming a tune . He didn't care about hotel being empty as long as he get paid so he was doing his job regularly .
Sitting at the reception desk, Charles had gloomy expression in his face . He was thinking deeply about something but he couldn't concentrate since Tim's weird humming tune in these silent hallway brought him a unsettled feeling.
He couldn't help but yell at Tim
"Will you shut up and do your work in silence!"
Tim looked at him silently and when Charles saw his face , his heart couldn't help but skip a beat !
His smiling face was very weird !
This morning he saw a news of worker killing the boss for getting scolded and the boss was smashed in the head by a iron pole so when Charles looked at the Tim silent expression and the iron mop he held tightly across his hands.
Charles began to feel uncomfortable.
He asked loudly but his voice was shaking
"W-what are you looking at ?"
Tim scratched his head and smiled sheepishly
"Nothing boss !"
Seeing his strange smile in the dim lit hallway, Charles began to feel cold . The feeling of something bad happening began to rise in his heart ....
As he was thinking, a knocking sound was heard on the main door .
Knock ! Knock !
Both of them looked at each other and Charles was confused.
Who would knock at the door this time ?
He asked Tim
"Did you put the closed sign outside the door as I said earlier ? "
Tim froze and said after some time
"Boss it seems I.... forgot!"
Fking idiot !!!!
Charles cursed and said with anger
"You idiot! Go and see who is that ! Tell them the hotel is closed today !"
Tim nodded and went to open the door !
He opened the door and looked ahead only to see there was no one there !
He became confused !
Charles asked casually thinking that it was some customer.
"Tell them the hotel will open tomorrow but today we are closed !"
Tim heard his boss voice , so he wanted to say something but suddenly something cold went past him ....
And the lights went off in the hotel at the same time , everything was covered in darkness.
Charles couldn't help but wonder !
"Power off ? This never happened before...that's strange !"
As he began to wonder , he called Tim name to check the power supply.
"Tim ?"
But there was no response even after calling few more times . His own voice echoed in the hallway but strangely he felt there are one more voice echoing back his name .
"Am I hearing things ?"
He grumbled and stood up from his seat . He decided to see what's happening out there .....
But suddenly he remembered George words before he left the job .
"Boss beware of Tim ! He is very strange and sometimes he can really be ....
Scary !"
Charles began to feel chill !
"S#it ! What the hell!"
He cursed and began to look for flashlight in the drawer but he didn't find anything.
The feeling of something watching him the dark began to alarm in his mind . He felt like someone's was watching in the dark and ready to pounce on him at any time.
He felt like a mouse in presence of a lion
His hands began to shake from fear . Noticing his trembling hands , Charles forehead began to sweat .
He didn't find the flashlight in any drawers so he could only use his mobile phone torch . He took out his phone and switched on the torch option , soon a bright but limited light flashed across the darkness .
The light was limited but it bought him some courage to see in the dark . But suddenly he felt something touching his neck , the feeling was very cold .
He froze !
What's behind me ?
His heart began to race faster !
He slowly turned around and aimed his torch at the darkness , what he expected was a wall but instead there was a bright smiling face with closed eyes , looking at him closely .
There was only one meter distance between them yet he never knew there was someone behind him .
Who is this person?
How did he came behind me ?
Is that person a ghost ?
His smile is very scary ....
He didn't even have the time to scream before his eyes rolled back and fell to the ground unconsciously .
THUD!
The lights came back .....
To be continued.....!
