"Alright," said the man in charge as he turned his chair to face the many screens in front of him. His fingers started typing on the keyboard before coming to a pause, "Is this the one?" he asked as he pushed his chair to one side and Ari raised her head to look at the screen.
And —
There was nothing.
Ari stood frozen as she looked at the screen, feeling the gaze of the man on her, which brought goosebumps all over her skin. There was nothing? How come—she saw it! She saw that man with the mask.
He was right around the corner, so why wasn't he there?
'Maybe it was all in your head?' A voice said to her. 'Like the monsters lurking behind the shadows?'
Ba-thump.
Ba-thump.
Her heart started thumping wildly as she searched for the traces of the man with a neon stitched mask.
