Therese listened to the description given by the two of the apartment. It was a fairly large apartment, with a decent amount of utilities, and, at the very least, the paint wasn't peeling off the walls. Therese took the suggestion the two of them gave to grab a shower. As she entered the...
Clenching her teeth, Therese was able to keep hold of the steering wheel. The pain had passed, but she was exhausted, and wanted to lay down and fall asleep.
She heard Marcus, probably asking if she was okay.
"Yeah," Therese said, putting both hands on the wheel and exhaling a pent up...
Therese's heart pounded within her chest with the force of a jackhammer. Her mind racing almost forgot to tell her to slow down to the appropriate speed limit, which she wasn't that far over to begin with. Therese's breath came in ragged, sharp bursts, and she felt as though she was going to...
Therese came out of the door last, rushing down the stairs as Marcus came back up and placed a chair against it. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, Therese slowed to a quick walk and began to cast her eyes around the parking lot.
"We need a car. Any of these yours?" Marcus asked...
"We need a way out, now!"
"I tried to get you guys to leave earlier, remember?" Therese chided, mouth forming into a frown. "The fire escape is probably still open right now. We've got to hurry, though."
"Therese, you got a USB hard drive, or anything we can use to make these files portable?"
Therese fumbled around in her pockets for a moment, looking for her keyring. She kept a small, 2 gigabyte USB drive on her keyring in case she ever needed to copy files quickly for whatever reason. Who...
"I'm Marcus, and this is Mira. Come on, let's get this over with." said the man.
"Good to know your names," Therese said, walking over to the door. She rustled the doorknob and, surprisingly, it was unlocked.
"Huh. Now isn't that convenient." Therese remarked dryly, opening the door and...
Therese nodded her head towards the woman and followed the two, a few feet away. She was still apprehensive about all of this, and was nervous to top it all off.
She looked back at the corpses piled next to each other, to Victoria and her killer.
"Goodbye, Vikki..."
Therese quickened...
Therese took a moment to let what the man had said sink in. Do exactly as they say, huh? There's a legal term for that somewhere...
"We need to get into Edward Larkin's old office, get a list of his old clients. Can you show us the way, please?"
Edward Larkin? He was involved in this...
"Escape? Are you crazy?"
Therese looked over at the woman lying on the floor, panting and bleeding.
"The police are on their way," Therese said, trying to get her point across. "I don't think it would be a good idea for either of you to be put in an overnight prison cell or a public...
Therese's eyes widened when Klaus stepped away from here, leading the floating man away and leaving the building from a window. Now she was alone with the other two.
Two people who looked beat all the way to hell, and the one person she might have had a small inkling of trust for in this...
Therese's scream was louder than she thought possible, echoing through the complex. Klaus had tapped her on the head and was offering words that weren't entirely hostile, but neither were they comforting. Eventually, Therese resigned herself to sobbing quietly, her light mascara running down her...
Darkness. Absolute, complete, consuming darkness.
Therese tried to scream, tried to talk, tried to walk away, to close her eyes and shut it all out. But she couldn't. Her mouth wouldn't move when she commanded it, and her eyes were perpetually open.
No, that's not right. She couldn't even...
Damn.
The man with the gun had wondered off, but he had left the woman there. Therese had seen the two of them stand together talk, and as such, she had no idea if this person was with or against her, same as the man. But Therese needed to get around them...
A rapid spouting of bullets...
Therese froze when she saw the man with the gun in the lobby. She quickly pushed herself back, out of view of the window, and tried to process her thoughts.
Could that be the killer? Maybe... He looks angry, pissed even. Enough to take a life..?
Therese shook her head. She couldn't heap...
