DING DONG I heard the doorbell ring I walked over and opened the door "Hello" I said confused, no one was there "Anyone there" I looked down there was a note I picked it up and observed the writing, it was in another language "Spanish?" No I took spanish in high school "Italian?" no this has to be a made up language "probably just a prank" I said "But who?" I went to call my friend jake when I heard a mysterious knock coming from the garage I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and headed towards the door I open the door
"Kevin what are you doing!" Sam exclaimed.
"Sam I thought-"
"Why are you so paranoid all of the sudden?"
"Sorry I'm a bit shaken I got a note"
"Not this again, the note says this, the note says that, I'm fed up with all these lies and oh
don't get me started on the guy"
"He's real look at this note" I said as my hands were trembling
"That's gibberish"
"It's a made up language"
"Oh and I bet the dude in the hoodie outside gave it to you"
"I don't actually know there was no one there"
"Ok I'm gonna leave"
"No Sam I swa-"
BAM
The door slams in my face I hear the rev of Sams car as she drives off
DING DONG the doorbell rings again I open it "okay whoever it is ringing my doorbell better stop" a paper falls in front of me I pick it up this time it's in English it reads

If you ever want to see her again give me the key...

I ran to the phone I put it up to my ear... Dead. I ran and grabbed my car keys. I ran out into the garage I got into my car and drove as fast as I could. I made it all the way to my old house. When I got there the house was engulfed in flames. I walked over to the firefighter closest to me. "What happened"
"it was a cigarette butt in the basement." the man replied "is this your house?"
"yeah... But i don't smoke"
"do you know anyone who does" the man asks
"Yeah"
"did they have access to this house"
"no" I said befuddled "may i go in the house, i need to check on something"
"I would ask the cap" he said "I'm not in charge of who goes in or not"
"okay, thanks" I walk over to who looked like the captain. "excuse me sir"
"Yes"
"Am I aloud to go to in the house"
"did you own this house"
"yes sir may I go check on something"
"I guess" he said "make it quick though"
I walk over the debris. I saw an old picture of me and sam i picked it up and pulled it out of the shattered frame I fold it up quickly careful not to let the tears fall. I put it into my pocket and walked over to the basement door- well what's left of it. I walked down the stairs. the basement was untouched by the flames it was completely the way I left it three days earlier. I strolled gingerly over to the cabinet within the key lay. Amazingly it was still there I carefully took it out pocketed it and went to my car I got in and started the ignition BEEP BEEP BEEP. I heard A noise that got louder the longer I listened then I realized I had just started a bomb. Terafied I got out and ran tripping over my own feet as I scattered away from the live bomb that was my car. I heard the car explode and turned to see my license plate that said SA1124 flying towards me. I managed to scramble out of the way just as the license plate spun over my ear. It was all coming back to me. "SA1124". The made up language. It all made sense my old job, the main reason this person knows so much about me, this person wasn't a stalker; he was my best friend.
And I knew he wanted me dead.
