Tim leaned against the door, trying to hear what the group outside was discussing. He had to get out of Ivy's house before they barged inside and caught him here. Though he had no problem killing those weak and useless people, it would only complicate things. He would then have to take care of those bodies and that was a problem in this closed building. If anybody were to witness it, then it would only bring more problems.
He started racking his brain to think of ways he could escape from here. The ti he had was less and the work he had co here to finish was left incomplete. But that was an issue he could look into in the future. He now had to search for an exit route before the group saw him.
He started searching in Ivy's house to see if he could find an escape door or window. The windows in the living room were useless as they were fixed with grills and they led to the hallway outside the apartnt, while the windows in the two rooms were facing the landscape outside the building. He could get out from here. But the problem was there was no support for him to stand or hold onto once he jumped off the window. He would only plunge to the ground directly. Seeing the height from above, he was sure that he would end up with so broken bones if he attempted this stunt.
anwhile, the group of people outside were in deep discussion and they were trying to find out what to do. If the man had entered the twins' house in their absence, then the old woman and the security guard would be held responsible. They had to check if he had actually broken into the house.
So, without wasting any ti, the watchman pulled out the keys of all the apartnts and looked up for Ivy's apartnt key. He had the keys of all the apartnt just in case of ergencies. He had been bestowed with the keys to all houses when once an unfortunate accident had taken place in the absence of the house residents. The neighbors had complained of a gas leak and to solve the issue, they had broken the house door. Since then, to prevent issues of these kinds and damaging the front doors, everybody had decided to hand over their house keys to the guard.
He took the key and opened the door with ease. The houses in the apartnt had fingerprint scanner locks that also had keys to open them. So, he did not have a problem with it. As soon as the door opened, the machine beeped and it alerted Tim who was on the verge of losing his cool. He had to decide fast. Either it was his life or it was his limbs. He had no ti now.
After making his decision, he jumped off the window, with his hands still on the sill. Now that he was outside, he took a thorough look around him and noticed a drainage pipe that was at arms-length from him and he sighed in relief. He had to perform the risky stunt with utmost care and precision as even a small mistake would lead him to lose his footing and he was sure to end up with broken limbs.
He could hear the voices from the outside. They were searching for him and they were almost near him. He had to work as fast as possible. So, without wasting another mont, he leaned towards the left and stretched his left leg until he was clinging to the pipe. He then stretched his left hand and slowly moved his body. Now, he had to move his right legs and arms and he would be done.
But to his horror, the old woman who had helped him to get inside peeked right outside the window and saw him clinging like a spiderman to the wall. His eyes widened and he cursed loudly. The woman shouted imdiately, attracting the other two people who were accompanying her.
They rushed to her hearing her scream and saw what she was looking at. By then, Tim had already held onto the pipe tightly and was sliding down slowly. He was trying his best not to alert anybody else while he tried to escape. He had already made a mistake of showing his face to the three people and he had no idea how it would implicate him in the future.
The security saw him slide down and ran outside the door. He had to catch the man before he escaped successfully. He did not know what his intentions were and why he was even here. 'What if he had stolen sothing from here?' He shuddered at the thought and feared for his job now. He cursed the old woman in his mind for putting his job at stake. It was her who had made a mistake and he would be the one to be blad. He hurried down as fast as possible hoping he would reach the man before he left.
Tim had almost reached the ground. He just had a ter or two to jump and he would be done. But just as his feet touched the ground, he saw a little girl shout. The girl was looking at him with fear while she stood frozen on the ground. Her eyes started to tear up and she wailed so loud that all the people nearby heard her. Everybody in the vicinity ca bolting towards her only to see an unknown man in the apartnt.
Tim was surrounded now. He could see that many people were coming towards and he had to do sothing. He pulled out the mask he had brought with him and covered his face imdiately lest the people should see his face. Next, he had to find a way to get to his car and what could be more befitting than keeping the girl hostage. Without further delay, he picked up the girl who was near him and held at her gunpoint.
The girl's mother ca running hearing her daughter's scream and she was horrified seeing her beloved princess behind held a hostage. She started to scream trying to call people to help her daughter as she requested Tim to leave her. She begged and prayed for him to let her go but the man did not even flinch. He stared at him coldly. He was carrying the crying the girl while he took slow steps in the direction of his car.
By then, the watchman had co down and he saw the commotion going on. He could guess what must be going on. But never had he expected to see a little girl being held at gunpoint. It was the girl he liked. She was the daughter of one of the residents and every ti she went shopping with her mother, she would get him warm milk or juice depending on the weather. He liked the cute little girl and treated her just like his daughter.
He was shit scared seeing her situation and he did not know what to do. One of the onlookers tried calling the police and Tim who had seen his little stunt shot a bullet in the air attracting everybody's attention. "Don't you dare call the police or the next bullet will be put through here." He nudged his gun towards the girl's forehead and the girl started crying harder. Tim was not interested in her cries though it was annoying him and giving him a headache. He had to get away from here before it beca too late.
"If you want to save her, everybody back off. I promise nothing will happen to her." He said loud and clear. "If anybody is interested to get so bloody entertainnt, I'll give you one hell of a bloody show that you will not forget for life. Don't tempt to do sothing so heinous."
Everybody could grasp the aning in his words and their eyes widened in disbelief. So people even gasped, frightened to see the gun in his hand.
"What do you want?" One of the onlookers asked boldly and Tim smiled. 'At least soone here was sensible.'
"Everbody move towards the right. Move." He shouted loudly. All the people who were witnessing this scene shivered hearing his nacing voice. It was deadly terrifying. They had never encountered anybody as horrible as him. Not wanting to anger him any further lest he should harm the little girl, everybody moved to the right while Tim slowly moved towards the left.
When he found the opportunity, Tim dashed towards the exit with the little girl in his arms as he kept a lookout for the people around him. The people followed him as soon as he was out of their sight. He dragged the girl with him till his car shocking the people on the roads. They halted in the place seeing a masked man carrying a little girl in his arms with a gun pointed at her head.
This was the first ti for them to witness sothing so grueso and they could not help but shudder in fear. The locality they lived was quite peaceful and not many cris took place. Everybody here was friendly. Seeing the masked man with a gun, they were mortified and they did not know how to tackle the situation. By then the little girl had gone berserk and her wails had reached a an all-ti high.
But Tim did not have the ti to bother with her. He opened his car and almost jumped inside. Seeing that everything was under control and his path of escape was clear, he pushed the little girl outside and she fell with a loud thud. He started his car and drove away like a maniac. After he had reached a few kiloters away from Ivy's house, he pulled over at the side and sighed in relief. This the first ti he had ever made a mistake and he did not know how his master would take this. He was starting to fear his life now.
On the other side, everybody went towards the little girl after the car zood out of the locality. Though she had suffered only minor injuries and scratches, she had fainted out of fear. This incident left a deep impression on her and the trauma was etched in her mory for life.
