Chapter 2:
A Painted Smile
I wake up and walk to the kitchen ¨Morning,Jade.¨ Ray says as he smiles at me.¨Morning,Ray.¨ I say as I look up at him ¨How’d you sleep?¨ Ray asks,moving my hair out of my face.¨I slept well.¨ I say as I smile at him. ¨I have to go on patrol,Wanna go with?¨ Ray asks with a smile on his face.¨Sure i’ll be ready in a bit.¨ I say as I walk to my room,change my clothing,brush my teeth and then do my hair.
¨Ready!¨ I say as I walk out of my room and smile.¨Good, you’re wearing something comfortable.¨ Ray says as he looks me up and down.Ray then continues speaking ¨Let’s get going.¨ Ray says. ¨Yep!¨ I say as we both leave the dorm room.Me and Ray then get into his car and he starts driving,he drives around town then he stops at an alleyway and we both get out of the car.¨This is where the killer was last seen according to an anonymous source.¨ Ray says and lights a cigarette.
¨Yeah..If I was a murderer I would probably hang out here too and stop that smoking it’s bad for you!¨ I say as I take his cigarette and throw it on the ground.Ray then looks down at his crushed up cigarette and he sighs.¨Yea..me and the team got reports that a man with black messy hair,white skin and a white hoodie was caught scurrying around here.Sound familiar?¨ Ray asks, looking up at me.
¨Yep that sounds like the guy from the gas station.¨ I say nodding my head.¨Usually serial killers are uncomfortably normal looking..At least this guy has the decency to look like a monster.¨ Ray says as I shrug all the sudden we hear a voice. ¨A monster?I think I’m quite beautiful,actually.¨ A male voice says as he walks into the light and stands right by Ray.
¨It’s him!The guy from the gas station!¨ I say looking at the man, his hood covering half his face.¨The guy from the gas station?I have a name,you know..Its Jeff.¨ Jeff says with a sigh.¨You! Hands where I can see them!¨ Ray yells at the man as Ray pulls out his gun.¨put that useless gun away..It can’t hurt me..¨ Jeff warns. ¨Jade,get out of here!¨ Ray demands.
¨No,let her stay..she’s more pleasant looking than you.¨ Jeff says as he takes a step closer to me.¨Don’t go near her!Hands above your head or I will shoot! ¨Ray says as he aims his gun at Jeff’s leg.¨Try it.¨ Jeff says, taking off his hood to reveal his face as he crosses his arms across his chest.¨Aiming for my leg?How cute..¨ Jeff says as he looks at Ray. ¨I can’t kill a suspect for no reason, genius.¨ Ray says as he rolls his eyes.
¨So then..what if i go for your precious girlfriend?¨ Jeff asks as he takes out his knife. ¨Dont!¨ Ray says his eyes widened in shock.Jeff then swings his knife at me as I dodge by an inch.¨Hey! To close! Keep me out of this!¨ I say looking at Jeff.Ray then shoots Jeff in his head the bullet goes through the other side of his head as Jeff turns and looks at Ray not affected by the bullet.
¨I got you right in the head though..!¨Ray says backing up from Jeff.¨Useless..I told you..¨ Jeff says, smiling at Ray. ¨Hey! Next time you gotta demonstrate something keep me outta it!¨ I say folding my arms across my chest my face flushed or red do to blush and of embarrassment. ¨Sorry sweetheart,but it was the only way to prove my point..Anyways I just came here to tell you guys to give up.Nothing can be done about me..I’ll massacre your whole school if I feel like it..I look forward to seeing you again my love..¨ Jeff says looking at me he kisses my hand and runs off.
¨Dammit he just disappeared..¨ Ray says,looking at the pavement and letting out a deep sigh. ¨I-I’m never gonna graduate!¨ I say looking at the hand Jeff kissed.We then drive back to my dorm as I go inside after Ray. ¨God..That kid was weird..I have to go report this to the station. Jade stay here..and be safe call me if you need food or anything.¨ Ray says as I sit down on my bed.
¨Are you sure?..Guns don’t work on him..that means cops are targets too.¨ I say looking at up at him.¨I’m sure don’t worry about me just keep yourself safe.Actually I might just take you to your dads if things don’t get better..¨ Ray says fixing his suit and tightening his bow tie. ¨But my classes..¨I get cut off by Ray speaking.¨Aren’t as important as your life.¨ Ray says as he kneels down to tie his shoelaces.
¨you’ll just be less then a hour away from campus if school starts back up i’ll bring you back.¨ Ray says standing back up and fixing his hair.¨Fine but..I want one more week here!Then you can bring me home.¨ I say standing up and walking closer to him. ¨ That’s fair..be good bye.¨ Ray says leaving the dorm room as I shut and lock my door.
I decided to sit down and watch some horror movies. After a few hours I fall asleep on my bed as the TV shuts off. I then wake up hearing a loud noise coming from the living room.¨What the hell was that sound?¨ I ask myself as I sit up.¨That couldn’t be Ray he wouldn’t be able to get in without a key.Don’t tell me its..¨ I pause feeling a hand on my leg.
¨ Me!¨ Jeff says laughing.I push Jeff's hand off my leg.¨ How did you get in here!?¨ I ask as I get out of bed and walk backwards away from Jeff I then stop walking and just watch him closely. ¨Mere walls can’t keep me out my love..¨ Jeff says as he takes a step closer to me.
I throw my stapler at him. ¨Hey!¨ Jeff yells ¨Out!¨ I say pointing to my door.¨Let me talk,Jade!¨ Jeff says as he sighs. ¨Hey! Keep my name out of your mouth!¨ I yell at him. ¨That’s why I like you,you’re an angry little thing,and you’re no wimp..everyone else freezes in fear at the sight of me.¨ Jeff says with a sly smirk. ¨That’s because you keep trying to murder them!¨ I protest.
¨Well..if i tried to murder you..would you react like they do?¨ Jeff asks. ¨No,you actually already tried to murder me,so..¨ I say crossing my arms across my chest.¨Exactly your a strange case,Jade I don’t think your scared of me.Since I was 13 people have been scared of me..If You’re not scared of me then you must be what I’m looking for.¨ Jeff says, walking closer to me.
¨Why exactly are you looking for me?..¨ I ask backing up a bit more.¨well I've been feeling some kind of..pull it led me to this town,This campus..To you.¨ Jeff says as he sits down on the edge of my bed. ¨So do you need to find the person that’s not scared of you and kill them or something?¨ I ask sitting next to Jeff.
¨I don’t know yet but I don’t feel like i’m supposed to kill you..I want you to spend time with me.¨ Jeff says, looking at me. ¨At least until I figure out why I was brought to you.¨ Jeff finishes. ¨Excuse me?Why would I wanna hang out with a psychopath?¨ I ask, looking at him. ¨Well because if you do I’ll get the hell outta here.¨ Jeff answers.
¨If you’ll really leave..Then I’ll hang out with you for one day,one day only!I’ll follow you around and if you don’t figure it out then i’m sorry and if you do then good for you and no sex.¨ I say looking away from him.
¨We’ll see about that last one but oka. Tomorrow same alley from today.¨ Jeff says with a smirk.¨Fine Leave, I’m tired and hungry.” I say as he then speaks. ¨As you wish.Goodnight,Jade.your room is cute by the way.¨ Jeff says and then leaves. I then fell asleep on my bed and started to dream like last night..what strange dreams.
