part 3 - settle

He steps off of the bus and starts walking without looking back to see if you're following him, yet, whenever you stop walking, he stops too. Weird. "So.. um.. Did you need something from me?" He doesn't respond. Now you feel annoying for asking. You two walk in silence until you reach an apartment complex. He takes out his keys and opens the door to reveal a small, yet cozy living room attached to a kitchen. Then there was a hallway with two doors, one a bathroom, another a bedroom. You walk in and take in all of your surroundings until your vision suddenly goes black.

You wake up tied to a chair with your legs tied together as well. "Oh fuck. I really walked into this one now, didn't I.." You thought to yourself as you worriedly try to look around at your surroundings again. You're frantically trying to find a way out until you're stopped by a hand on your shoulder. "Calm down." You hear from behind you, you stay quiet trying your best to do whatever they wanted so you won't die. He then walks up in front of you and takes a seat. 

"I'm not gonna hurt ya, I just want to know what your intentions are from here on out. Be careful what you say to me too, cause, you know, I'll kill you!" He said that with a cheery tone, almost as if he was enjoying watching your face show pure fear whenever he made sudden movements. It was scary. But you decided to comply. You know, so you won't die. 

"Well, what do you need to know?" You asked him with a shaky voice. "Oh you know, just if you're gonna rat me out to the cops. Since you've seen my whereabouts in the past 24 hours and all." 

"Oh no! I'd never tell! I'll do whatever you want as long as you don't kill me! Please! I won't tell anyone. Not even my pets. Nobody!" 

"Oh? You have pets? What kind?" 

He asked this like he was totally uninterested in my pleading, and totally intrigued by my pets. It seems like his mind took a total shift of focus. Does he even take what he does seriously at all? 

"Umm, I have a cat and a lizard."

"A FUCKING LIZARD?? AND A CAT?? DUDE. THATS FUCKING AWESOME..."

What is with this guy? Is he an animal fanatic or something?

DEVIL POV

I'm trying to shift the focus here, this isn't the first time someone has begged for me not to kill them. It gets pretty tiring hearing it all the time. I didn't even plan on having this girl in here. I just can't let anyone know where I am. The fact that she knows is bad, I either have to keep her here or do whatever I can to be sure that she'll stay quiet.

"So, what are their names then?" I asked with a grin behind my mask. 

"Mandy and Chip." Mandy being the Lizard, Chip being the cat."

Huh. Cool. I don't care.

"That's cool." I answered with a sigh, "I wish I could have a cat, but I'm actually allergic to them." 

"That's too bad."

I can't just keep her here if she has pets though, damn it. Guess I'll have to find her house and get Fox to find out what to do with them. Not that I care or anything.
