“Okay.
I’ll go check.
”
Kay quickly turned on her phone’s shlight before heading out.
Ste listened to Kay’s retreating footsteps, then switched on her own shlight and located a seat to wait in the darkness.
No sooner had she settled into the seat than the sound of footsteps echoed from the entrance, quickly followed by the door shutting.
“Kay, is that you?” Ste called out, puzzled.
She doubted Kay would return so soon.
“Did the staff exin the power outage?”
Shining her shlight towards the door, all she could make out was a shadowy figure in the backlight, eerily silent.
Ste’s unease grew as the figure moved closer without a word.
“Kay, why aren’t you responding?” she called out again, her voice tinged with worry.
As she rose, illuminating the floor with the shlight, she saw a person’s face inches away from hers.
A wave of horror washed over her.
“Greg?” she gasped.
“Miss Anderson… Or rather, Mrs.
rk now, isn’t it?” Greg’s voice dripped with sarcasm.
His eyes narrowed.
“Wow, you still remember me.
I had no idea I’d run into you here.
What a surprise.
”
His tone was biting and filled with venom.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
As Ste’s gaze locked with Greg’s, her heart pounded with fear.
“Did you cut the power?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Yes, that was my doing.
” Greg’s response came with a chillingugh.
“Your assistant won’t be returning anytime soon.
It’s just you and me here now.
Let’s finish what we startedst time.
I’ve never made love in a theater, but…”
As Greg spoke, he rubbed his hands together and looked at Ste lewdly.
Feeling nauseous, Ste dashed towards the door in a desperate attempt to escape, only to be abruptly yanked back by Greg’s forceful grip.
Ste, gripped by a mix of shock and fear, winced in pain as she desperately called out, “Help! Kay? Is there anyone outside?”
Greg’s sinisterughter echoed in the dark space as he threw her forcefully to the floor, towering over her with a menacing presence.
