Chapter 5 - a possibility.

"Dan why did you kill me". Said Darren

"Are you goin to kill Brooklyn to"?

"WHO IS NEXT IN YOUR KILL LIST DAN".

I couldn't believe it.

Darren was right in front of me with blood spilling out his head.

"I had to , for Brooklyn".

"YOU DIDNT HAVE TO KILL ME".

"DONT MAKE ME ASK YOU AGAIN, WHO ARE YOU GOING TO KILL NEXT".

"YOU KILLED A PI".

"DONT YOU THINK BROOKLYN WILL GET SUSPICIOUS"?

"She won't know".

"YES SHE WILL".

"HER FAMILY IS POWERFUL".

"ALL IT TAKES IS A COUPLE CALLS TO FIND OUT IT WAS YOU".

I saw a rock and smashed it on his head.

I knocked him out.

"Dan why did you kill Darren". Said Brooklyn.

"It was for you".

"All of this was for you".

I tried to hold her hand but she moved away from me.

"DONT TOUCH ME".

"ALL YOU ARE IS A KILLER, A FREAK".

"KILLER".

"KILLER".

"KILLER".

"KILLER".

"KILLER".

"KILLER".

It was just constantly getting repeated in my head.

My head was constantly spinning and spinning and spinning.

Darren was calling me a killer.

Brooklyn was calling me a killer.

Fuck it I think I saw mark harrison also calling me a killer.

"SHUT UP".

And I woke up.

I looked at my hand and there was not any blood on it.

I looked around and I couldn't see Darren or Brooklyn.

I was safe for now.

It was a dream.

Or was it.

It could have been a precognition of the future.

"Dad,veronica are you home"?

It was pin drop silent.

I decided to open the curtains as it looked abit depressing inside.

The sun hit my eyes.

I then looked down to see a police car parked outside.

Fuck this man.

It was just me and another family living in this apartment complex.

But the other family went on holiday.

Which means they were here for me.

Worst case scenario they will ask about mark Harrison.

And I will say I know nothing about them.

Furthermore.

They probably contacted Brooklyn who then told them that she told me.

It's the morning.

I don't have time for this shit.

But the law don't stop just because I don't have time for their bull shit.

I decided to go down and welcome them In.

"Good morning officer"?

"Brush".

"Good morning officer brush".

"What brings you here today". I said.

"Do you know anyone called mark Harrison"?

I knew this was coming up.

"Yes I heard it from Brooklyn".

Any normal person would ask if anything happened to this person.

So I will just play along.

"Why what happened to him".

"He suicided".

Fuck.

Now what would a normal person do.

Feel empathetic.

Feel sad.

"Do you not feel any emotion danial miller"?

"No, just surprised that's all".

Not really as Suicide rates in LA is some of the highest in the country.

"Now how do I get him out my house".

"Is there anything else you need officer"?

"No thank you".

"If I hear anything I will make sure to contact you".

"Yes".

"Well on that note have a good day officer".

"You to".

He took his coat of the rack and touched my coat.

And he left.

But something didn't seem right.

Why would he leave just like that immediately and touch my coat.

Unless.

I started to look around the apartment to see if he bugged the place.

And I found a bug under the chair.

Under the table.

And under the kitchen counter.

And on my jacket

If I remove it I I'll looks suspicious.

But for now.

I decided to put a piece of paper and stuffed it under the chair, table and counter.

So I would know if they came back or remove the bug.

But till then.

I have to keep it on a low.

The more I kill for us, the more suspicious I look.

I could go to school.

But then again.

I have to go so Brooklyn don't think I am suspicious.

Let me go grab my phone.

Brooklyn:

Hey dan,

The police showed up on my door asking about the PI can we please talk at the cafe? I feel really shitty about putting you in an uncomfortable position with the police.

Missed call from Brooklyn

Missed call from Brooklyn

Missed call from Brooklyn

Missed call from Brooklyn

Oh fuck.

She now thinks I hate her.

It's cute tho.

She is worried about me.

She loves me.

Need to stop thinking about that.

Brooklyn:

Hey dan,

The police showed up on my door asking about the PI can we please talk at the cafe? I feel really shitty about putting you in an uncomfortable position with the police.

Missed call from Brooklyn

Missed call from Brooklyn

Missed call from Brooklyn

Missed call from Brooklyn

Dan:

Hey Brooklyn,

It's okay. I and I am fine. I'll come over so we can talk I will see you in 10.

I took my bugged jacket and left the door.

I had to wear it or else I would look suspicious.

I had to look like a normal civilian.

Walking would be more efficient so they don't think I am rushing to a destination.

If they bugged my house and clothes, then there is a high chance they bugged hers.

Fuck.

Didn't know love would be so hard.

But I will do it.

For us.

I still need to deal with WhisperWeb and her friend Sophie.

But one step at a time.

Just as I was crossing the street, I could see Brooklyn worried and panicking.

"Hey" I said as I kissed her on the cheek.

"Are you ok"? I asked in a concerned tone.

"Yes" she said.

"They think I am".

I covered her mouth so she wouldn't talk.

I got a napkin and a pen and wrote, they bugged us.

I got a second napkin and wrote , we need to go to a more quiet area.

I then got a third napkin and told her speak normally so we don't look suspicious.

"It's too hot here shall we go to your place"? I said.

"Yeah let's go".

We arrived at her place.

It was huge.

Everything that you could imagine was in here.

"You should take your coat off". I said to Brooklyn.

She followed my exact orders and took it off.

I took mine off and put it on the coat rack.

The door to her house opened.

"Brooklyn are you home". Said a familiar voice.

Fuck.

Sophie.

Not now.

Not at this time.

I had to think quick in my feet.

"Trust me".

I started making out with her just to put Sophie in an uncomfortable situation so that she would leave.

It would be an understatement to say I enjoyed it.

"Brooklyn is that you"? Said Sophie.

"Umm". Said Brooklyn with her face all red.

"I don't even want to know". Said Sophie.

"Oh dan ,if you lay a finger on her I will kill you". Said Sophie.

Well that was ironic to say the least.

Just as Sophie was going to leave, I gave Brooklyn's bug to her.

We went to her bedroom which was exquisitely clean.

I got paper and a pen and wrote "did the LAPD go in your room".

She shook her head.

"Oh good".

"Ok what the fuck is going on".

"Police show up to my house".

"You start ignoring my calls".

"Then you out of nowhere start to kiss me".

"It's like ever since you came into my life things hasn't been good".

Fuck.

She thinks I am the problem.

If it wasn't for all the stupid fucking people in her life this wouldn't have happened.

If she didn't date Darren he would be alive.

If she didn't hire the PI he would be alive.

It's all her fucking fault for the deaths in her life.

"Look I love you and you love me".

"It doesn't matter if there are problems or anything."

"We got nothing to hide".

"Then why are we acting like we do".

Oh i don't know.

Maybe because i am fucking guilty.

"I care too much about you for you to get caught".

"I know you didn't do it".

"But people will do anything to get the good people in the world In trouble."

"You understand".

"I am sorry if I was ignoring you".

" I really want to make this work".

"Come here". Said Brooklyn.

She threw me on her bed which was the first time we have ever done it together.

I woke up and she was still sleeping.

I saw her laptop on the side.

It wasn't stalking I just needed to make sure she was safe.

No password. This is why I need to make sure is safe.

Anyone could go through her device.

She is 17 same age as me.

Her full name is Brooklyn goelet.

She used to live in New york before her father moved to LA for business.

Her father is the one and only grainge goelet.

Multi billionaire philanthropist and a scandal in the late 80s involving nuclear waste in the ocean.

Interesting.

Her mother is violet goelet.

She has gotten re married countless of times to very wealthy people but decided to keep the goelet name, interesting.

Her brother Henry goelet is dead.

Died of depression, overdose to be precise.

She still leaves all her pictures of her and her brother.

"Hey Dan". Said Brooklyn.

Shit.

Did she see me looking through her laptop.

This can't be good.

"How was it". Said Brooklyn.

"To describe it in one word it would say phenomenal".

We again started to make out.

I didn't want to leave.

For the first time since my mom died, I felt love.

I closed the laptop whilst she wasn't looking.

"Sorry but I got to go".

"Please just 5 more minutes". Said Brooklyn

I put on my clothes kissed her on the head and left.

Whilst I was walking, I went on my phone.

Her best friend Sophie wheeler.

Her dad is gay and left her mom for another man.

But they still contact each other.

Her mother is the one and only felica wheeler.

Founder ,CEO and figurehead of wheeler designs.

Sophie wheeler is 3 months younger than me.

Her boyfriend is mathew Bernard.

He is around my age.

Loved by everyone and carries the infamous Bernard name.

His entire family come from old money, most being politicians at one point.

You could say his family runs the fucking country.

Let me search her name.

Breaking News: Teen Sophie Wheeler Found Safe After Unannounced Trip to France

Date: July 24, 2024

Sophie Wheeler, a 16-year-old from Springfield, has returned home safely after disappearing for a week. Sophie traveled to France without informing her parents, causing significant worry. She has since explained that it was a holiday trip. Local authorities and her family are relieved at her safe return. Careles to say the least.

Interesting.

Running away and coming back.

I can work with this.

I can't kill her.

But what I can do is trap her somewhere.

"Hi I would like to buy this empty storage room".

"This one specifically is about 1.2k".

Thank goodness for that summer job.

"Yeah that's fine".

"Have a good day".

"You to".

In advance I bought this containment locker room.

And after 4 hours of hammering and building, it was complete.

It was a 6 by 2 containment locker room.

It had 1 singular window.

A 1 way open door.

And I personally installed a way for me to feed whoever would be inside the cage by a trusty 1 way dog flap.

Now there is only one thing left to do.

I know by your instagram that you do night runs.

And I also know from following you the last 2 runs, that there is 1 area where there is no cameras, no people, and no lights.

Flashback

"Danial when using a hammer you need to apply the right amount of force".

"Too much and it will damage the screw."

"Too little and the screw doesn't work."

"Wow mom your amazing".

Present time

The right amount of force is all I need.

I ran as fast I could and.

*BANG*
