Hi Gen it’s me again… I have been calling you more than 5 times now, and the phone goes on answering! Can you please pick up and at least tell me are you alright? I am getting worried now!

The sky was getting dark! You can see the reflection of the clouds on the bright blue glass 68 story building. It was almost about to rain. Gen still didn’t respond to Adam. “I think I should go and have a look at her apartment. It’s never like her not to respond, especially to her cell number.” said Adam. It was Saturday; the weekend was almost on our heads. The traffic was crazy and so was Adam, as he was continuously dialing Gen on her cell! Finally after 30 minutes, Adam made it to Gen’s apartment. Ding dong!! The bell goes.. 10 seconds passed no response; 1 minute passed nothing was there. He again rang the bell twice, nothing!! Adam became more worried and was getting frustrated even. He went downstairs and spoke to one of the security guys and told him. “Hi, my name is Adam you might have seen me many times coming to see Gen.” said Adam. “Yes, I remember you. How can I help you there.” said Brian the security guard. “I had been calling Gen all day now and she’s just not picking up the phone, and now I rang the bell twice but still nothing. Can you please check and see if she is OK?” said Adam in a fearful voice.

They both went upstairs to see Gen. as usual the security guard again rang the bell. “No response” again he rang it 3 to 4 times, nothing was there. He then called in the head security guy and told him the entire situation. The head in charge came in with a bundle of keys. He took 6011 flat # key out and put in. To there surprise the door opened! Adam without hesitating went in and checked the back of the door, the inside “owner’s key” was missing. Adam felt something was wrong! He went running in the lounge, couldn’t find her. At last he came to the bedrooms attached within toilet, which was locked! He knocked twice, no response… he then went on banging the door still nothing. All 3 men then ramped in the door as to break it by force, which they succeeded at. There they saw Gen sitting on the floor and shivering. All wet with her clothes on! She is a far sighted girl so was wearing glasses as well and the glasses were too wiped out with water. Adam sat on her feet and held Gen with both her arms. “Gen, Gen… speak to me, look at me” shouted Adam. The moment she lifted her head, Adam literally dragged himself backwards on the floor. “What the hell is that” said Adam in a shocking tone. Gen had cut all her hair and threw in the bathtub filled with water (which they saw moments after they moved the curtain back), along with her little girly doll, who was soaked in the water as well. “Are you alright” why did you have to do that” said Adam. Gen was quite and said in a crying whisper “he made me do it” “who made you do it? Who’s he? Was there some one else also here?” said Adam in a demanding voice. She went on crying and stood up and hugged Adam. “Please, I can’t stay here anymore. He will come again. I am sure. Take me with you. Please” said Gen

The security guards were still in the state of shock and didn’t know what to do. The case was registered and Gen was referred to a psychiatrist. Her entire apartment was searched and scanned up and down; they just couldn’t make out what had happened. Doctor Jay Russo was there standing in front of Gen, who was seated on a chair next to a table in a small white room, with a glass on the right side and glass on the door as well.

“Miss Sebastian, my name is Jay Russo. I am a Psychiatrist by profession. how are feeling now?” no response. she was quite with both arms wrapped around her tight! “i heard, what had happened and am sorry for that. i need to ask you few questions if you dont mind” said Russo. Again no response. Russo looked in the glass window, where Adam and other 2 men were standing and listening. “i need to know exactly what had happened there. what did you see, what were you feeling, when you did all that” said Russo. he then came and stood by her. “my dear are you listening to me” said Russo. he was sitting on the floor that moment. “Look Gen you need to cooperate with me, if we need to find out a solution for your problem” said Russo. He stood and as was walking… “There will be no solution, there will be no end” whispered Gen. She then stood up and stood in front of him. “your next” she whispered, as he was staring with fear at her.

That lady is Psycho, i am telling you. She has threatened to kill me" said Russo in a loud voice, pointing at her. “No, Mr. Russo, she never said anything like that, we are here listening to each and every word you and she has said” shouted back Adam. “Alright, then my boy what will you say if someone says you “your next”” said Russo in a alarming tone. Adam sighed and shook his head and sat on the chair…

Driving through the busy streets of New York, Adam was continously thinking about Gen and her behaviour. It was raining already. As Adam came back to his apartment, he was so occupied in his mind, he went into bed without even removing his shoes. It was the weekend, his friends were calling him for a hangout to what he was simply refusing. "why cant I stop thinking about her." said Adam holding his head by both hands. "your next, your next, your next" whispered Adam. "What did she mean by that? she can never ever hurt anyone thats for sure. Come on man! I know her for the past 5 years now!" said Adam in a loud voice.

"What if I go back to her aprtment and check for myself, may be those guys never saw the place properly." "Adam stop thinking about her. let the police do their job" shouted Adam.

Adam called one of his friend and told him the entire situation. Shawn (his friend) finally agreed to go with Adam to Gen's apartment and to have a look. They arrived at the apartment around 1.30am! The place was quite and dark. "Man look at the seal wraps around the door, hey Shawn do your stuff and open em up!" whispered Adam. Shawn very nicely removed one of the 3 yellow "DO NOT ENTER - POLICE" seals off the door and Adam went in first. Shawn followed him by squeezing under the seals and in the aprtment they go.

"Sh**! the lights are out as well! Thank God i managed to take my torch with me" said Adam. "Man! to be honest with you, I am having the most creepiest feeling of my life!" said Shawn in a low voice. "Hey come here! look at this!!" said Adam. "I never remember this when i was here with the security guys" said Adam in a confused tone. The place where Gen was sitting on the floor, the wall tiles and the floor tiles had been turned into dark grey color, as if some one's shadow covered that part of the toilet. Adam sat on the floor close to the site. He raised his hand and wanted to touch the shaded part to investigate more. "ADAM!!!!!" whispered Shawn in a grave voice, who was standing at the entrance of the toilet! "I think someone else is here as well" said Sawn in scary voice "What!! have you gone crazy! its impossible that someone else is here. Didnt you put back the seal tapes properly? asked Adam in an angry voice. "I did! but I swear I felt somebody just crossed by the toilet door" said Shawn again in a scary voice. "Listen bro! if you are trying to freak me out! that wont work!!! you GOT THAT!! now shut up and let me concentrate" said Adam as he stood on Shawn's face and told him.

The moment Adam sat on the floor again he heard a little girls singing voice, more like whispering and singing. "Sh**!!! what in the hell is that" said Shawn. Adam and Shawn went and followed the whispering sound. It was coming from Gen's bedroom. They entered the closed door and again tried to switch on the lights, but to their luck no use!! "Hey Ad!! the voice has just disppeared. Its so quite in here. Seriously I think we should leave now" said Shawn in a scary voice. "God! will you just shut up! your freaking me out as well!" said Adam strangling Shawn's arm. As they both were investigating they saw a couple of hair on Gen's bed. Light golden brown in color. "hmmm if the guys investigated this place, why didnt they take these in for a sample then to investigate on it further!" said Adam. As Adam was about to touch the hair... "NO! please dont touch it" whispered Shawn in an ordering tone. "Listen to me very carefully, if you do that again, i swear i will kill you. I told you there is nothing to be afraid of. Its just the darkness in here, thats creeping you out!" said Adam. Adam sat on the bed again to touch the hair.

"I wouldnt do that, if I were you" came a voice from the back. "Mr. Russo!!!!" said Adam in a loud voice. "What are you boys doing here. You know you are not allowed to be here. Shall I inform the COPS." said Russo in a grave voice. "No Sir, please! dont do that!. Me and Adam are here just to find out more on our dear friend, and thats it!!!" quickly replied Shawn. "But Mr. Russo, its almost 2.30am now, how come you are here?" asked Adam. "I thought just like you boys to have a look myself. It seems everything is normal except that shaded area which you saw and these bunch of hair on the bed" said Russo. "OK! so you passed by the toilet door when we were in. God! Mr. Russo, you scared the sh** out of me." said Shawn with a sigh of relief. "Mr. Russo, I dont know whether you will believe me or not but me and Shawn have heard a little girls whispering more like singing in a soft tone voice." said Adam "Its too late now, you boys need to go home" smiled, said Russo. "Ok! we will leave, but will you be staying or you will be coming with us?" asked Adam. "I need to check on a few things before I leave." said Russo. "hmmm but why this late Sir". Asked Shawn. "Listen to me very carefully, I am a doctor by profession, you dont have to teach me the rules around here! understand!!" said Russo in a ordering voice.

"3am" whispered Adam looking at Russo. "What was that, what did you say" asked Russo. "Nothing Sir, was just looking at the time" said Adam. "I believe you should leave now" said Russo again. It was 02.45am on the dot! As the boys passed the toilet Adam noticed there was no more shade on the wall neither on the floor. Adam was curious! "I think lets see if water is available in the fridge. Its winter season, even if the fridge aint working the water will be cold" said Adam. "10 minutes to 3am" whispered Adam to Shawn. "Adam i have seen a lot of horror flicks. please lets go man! i dont have hat much of a strong heart. My family has this Cardio problem, u know" said Shawn in a trembling voice. "OK! when did I said we will stay, we will go thats for sure" said Adam. It was 02.55am on the clock and the clock was ticking. "Hey where did Mr. Russo go. He will not be happy to see us having water and not asked him you know." said Adam. Adam went from the corridor headed towards the bedroom. To his surprise the toilet door was again closed. He hesitatingly moved forward to open the door. There was a pause as again Adam could hear that same whispery singing sound. Adam looked at his wrist watch, it was "3AM" he at once opened the door. "What the.... there is nobody here!" said Adam in a shocking tone. "Adam, I cant find Mr. Russo anywhere, may be he left!!" said Shawn from the other end of the corridor. To Adam's surprise there was no more shade on floor and on the wall as well..... They both left the place about 3.15am.

The next morning around 8.30am in the morning, Adam and Shawn are dead sleep in Adam's apartment. Ring Ring! Ring Ring! Adam's phone went. Adam in a very sleepy tone picked up the phone. "Hello" said Adam. "Is this Mr. Berkinsel, I mean Adam Berkinsel" said the voice over the phone. "Well! yes it is. May I know who am i talking to?" said Adam (He was wide awake, after hearing his full name in a decade.. may be). "My name is Jade Keith, i am a colleague of Mr. Russo. I believe you are Gen's friend, who was here in the investigation room last week with Mr. Russo" said Jade. "Yes, I am Jade. Why what happened, is everything alright! Is Gen OK?" asked Adam in a curious voice. "I am sorry to tell you but Mr. Russo has passed away. We found his dead body in his apartment, in the toilet." said Jade. "IN THE TOILET!!" Adam said in a shocked voice, as he stood up from the bed where he was sleeping. "Jade, is it possible can i come over Mr. Russo's place and have a look with you." said Adam. "well, that should be fine, but I prefer we go around 10.30am, then the COPS and investigators will not bother us that much. As I will now request my department to issue an entrance permit for you." said Jade " "NO! wait, I need it for my friend Shawn as well. Please can you get us both the entry stuff". said Adam. "Sure, not a problem." said Jade. Adam ran to his living room, where Shawn was dead sleep on the couch. "Wake up Shawn, Come on Man! Wake up!!! we need to go" said Adam. "Shawn quickly got up and dressed. They went down stairs at Mary-go's to grab a coffee and get something to eat.

Till the time they reached Jade, it was almost 10.20am. "Mr. Adam and Mr. Shawn." said Jade, standing at the entrance of Russo's apartment. "We dont know exactly what has happened but after my team's investigation, the incident took place at 3am last night." said Jade. "IMPOSSIBLE" said Adam in a loud voice. "By what means have you confirmed he died at 3am" asked Adam in a demanding voice. "Come with me" said Jade. She took Adam and Shawn to Russo's bedroom, there they had his wrist watch cut off along with his hand on the floor, whereas his body was in the toilet same place as of Gen's. What Adam and Shawn noticed was that Russo's wrist watch and the room wall clock, both were stopped at 3am. "Shawn believe me I have seen Gen, Mr. Russo's hair and Gen's hair both are cut off in the same way before he died and she became like this" said Adam in a soft tone. "But Gen's wrist was never cut and she is still alive, where as Mr. Russo is dead" said Shawn. "Ad, I think so you should come and see this" said Shawn. As Adam approached the toilet within the bedroom of Mr. Russo, he saw exactly the same shade on the floor and on the wall as well as of Gen's toilet. "Man! I am loosing it... what in the hell is happening! how can Mr. Russo die if he was with us last night" whispered Adam to Shawn. "Im telling you dude! no one will believe us, if we say he was with us" whispered Adam to Shawn.

"Jade, is it possible we see you seperately" requested Adam. "Yeah! sure why not! why whats wrong?" said Jade. Adam and Shawn took Jade down stairs to a coffee shop. "Jade... do you remember if Mr. Russo met somebody last night before he died" asked Adam. "Honestly speaking YES!! he met his girl friend Carolina at the States Lounge bar at 12am" said Jade. "Adam at once came close to Jade over the table. "I need to see her immediately PLEASE!" said Adam. "I took her cell number from Russo's mobile today morning.. wait let me see" checking Jade on to her mobile.

Jade had confirmed 2pm in the afternoon to see Carolina with Adam and Shawn at McDonalds. All 3 arrived on time and were waiting for Carolina in the parking. A black caprice stops in front of the main door, out comes a girl dressed in blue jeans and white top with black glasses on. "Carolina" said Jade in a loud voice. All 4 were inside sitting in the corner of the restaurant. "Carolina, these are my friends Adam and Shawn, remember I told you the incident about their friend Gen, then Russo...." said Jade. "I really dont know what to say. I did not sleep the entire night after hearing Jay screeming over the phone." said Carolina in a very depressed voice. "Who's Jay?" asked Shawn. "Its Jay Russo, his full name" said Adam. "Carolina, can you please concentrate and remember your last conversation with Mr. Russo." said Adam. "It was 2.45am in the morning, I left Jay at his apartment around 2.30am, i was driving back, when Jay called me after 15 minutes." said Carolina in a very deep voice. "I miss you darling" he said" Carolina was crying and saying. "I am at the apartment, just about to go in... dont want to but have to. Have lots of work tomorrow!" said Jay (Carolina snobbing) "What the..... who is it???" shouted Jay. "I was still on the phone with him. Then at once Jay started screeming and yelling and his voice was getting heavy. I pulled up my car and stopped in the middle of the road. I can hear screams, Jay shouting and cyring as if hes being hurt.. Jay Jay I was yelling on the way as i turned my car back, heading towards his flat!" told Carolina. "Then...." said Adam anxiously. "If my memory is correct, there was this little girl's sound who said your next" crying Carolina said. "I threw my phone on the side window screen and rushed for Jay's apartment. When I reached there he was still breathing, with blood coming out from his mouth as he was himself cutting his hand of his arm" said Carolina in a angry and dpressed voice. "Calm down please" said Jade.

Adam was in utter silence for a moment as he was watching Jade hugging and comforting Carolina. "I knew it, I just knew it" said Adam. He banged his both hands on the table and said "Carolina you are next, you will die today also" cried out loud Adam. "Adam, Adam... control yourself" Shouted Shawn as he grabbed him and pushed him out of the door. "Have you gone nuts or what!!! Already she is Sh** scared and above all your making her life hell!!!" said Shawn in a angry voice. "Tell me if Russo died, that does not mean she will die as well! look at Gen, shes still alive!!" said Shawn trying to calm down Adam..

"Gen!!! oh God, PLEASE!!!!" said Adam as he headed towards Jade and Carolina. "I need to see Gen today, PLEASE!" asked Adam in a very deep voice. "hmmm let me see if I can do it" said Jade. "NO!!! YOU HAVE TO!!! Its a matter of life and death!!" said Adam..

"Hi Jade, I have requested the authorities and they have granted me 6pm slot for Mr. Berkinsel to meet Miss Sebastian" said the administration lady on call with Jade...

Adam arrived 15 minutes before 6pm. He went upstairs to see Gen in her room where she was kept. By looking through the glass window Adam noticed as Gen was sitting on the floor in a corner of the room like a stone looking at the ceiling. "Is it possible, can i go inside?" asked Adam. "I am afraid thats too dangerous for you. We will go down in the investigation room then we will see her." said Jade. "No, please, I want to speak to her here so that no other person can hear us" said Adam. "Alright give me a moment, i will be right back" said Jade and left. As Adam was continously staring through the glass window within the door. "Adam, come with me" said Jade. Jade took Adam to the roof top and they went right at the corner of the 46 storey building, next to the water tank. "Why are we here" asked Adam being a little too curious. "I need to show you something." said Jade "Like what and why here" asked Adam being a bit scared. As Adam leaned down to see along with Jade.... "HEY YOU! what do you think you are doing. Dont you know, this is a restricted area and you must not be there" said the security guard. "Well I am with Miss Jade Keith, OK!" said Adam. "What Jade, do you think I am crazy!! There is nobody except you over here" said the security guard. "Adam! I have been looking for you. What are doing on the roof top!" asked Jade being a little surprised as she came upstairs looking for Adam. Adam stood dead silent and was concentrating on what was happening. "First Mr. Russo and now Jade...." something is just not right!

Adam and Jade came down where Gen was kept. "You can go in there, but remember as soon as something happens press the red button on this wrist watch" said Jade giving a black weird looking wrist watch to Adam. Adam goes in very silently removing his shoes outside the door. He goes in and sits on the bed kept in the room. Adam was a little freaked out from inside, but was having the potential to speak to her personally. "Gen, Hi how are you. You know i miss you a lot" said Adam in a very soft voice. Gen was sitting on the floor continuing to stare at the ceiling. "Can I ask you, what are you looking at" said Adam. Adam sat on the floor next to Gen. Jade had a close watch on Adam's moves. "Gen, please look at me. Whats wrong with you! If this was the case i preferred you being dead rather than being alive and to suffer like this." said Adam in a depressing tone. Gen lowered her head and was staring at Adam. "I am dead. Genrey Sebastian is already dead." said Gen "Who are you. You are not Gen, Gen would never talk like this." said Adam. There was a humming sound which Gen was singing softly. "That voice, that tone... its the same sound which I heard in your place and Mr. Russo's apartment." said Adam.

Gen grabbed Adam and was crying and screeming... "Please, take me away, these people will kill me. You have to help me!!" Gen shouted. Adam was absolutely helpless and cannot touch the red button. Jade called on the security guards, they are trying hard to open the door but just couldn't. "Look at me, Adam look at me" Gen's voice was very grave now. "3am... Carolina Bacon" said the voice inside Gen as Gen was staring with eyes wide open at Adam. "No, you have to stop it! Its enough, you hear me. If you dont I will Kill you." shouted Adam. "A huge laughter came out of Gen, "Kill me!" again she laughed, leaving Adam and throwing him away from her. "Do me a favor, try and stop me if you can" said Gen in a manly voice. Adam got so upset as Jade had finally managed to get the door open. The moment Jade came inside and grabbed Adam to take him out. "your next" said Gen holding Jade's other arm. "No, she is NOT!!! Adam slapped Gen and pushed her away.

While Adam and Jade were coming out of that room, Adam noticed blood on the floor underneath Gen's bed. "Jade wait. come look at this" said Adam. while they were moving the bed to see whats underneath it. 2 men were putting Gen in a upfront closed straight jacket and putting her hand cuffs and were holding her in the corner. Gen was again looking at the ceiling. Adam moved the bed and saw fresh blood drops on the floor. "Does Gen have any instrument with her in the room" asked Adam. "No, absolutely not" answered Jade. "Then where did this blood come from." said Adam. As Adam came close to the blood drops to touch them... "Wait, we will send the blood samples for testing and will find out." said Jade. "That will be helpful." said Adam. They took the blood samples from the blood on the floor. The housekeeping person then came and swiped the floor. Gen was left in a corner when all the people left.

It was night around 10pm, Adam called Carolina. "Hi how are you feeling now." asked Adam. "I am better now, thank you" answered Carolina. "Listen, I dont know what you will think, but can me and Jade be with you till 3am please, today!!" Asked Adam in a very low voice. "Adam look, I dont believe all this nonsence, but after what has been happening in the past couple of days, YES!" agreed Carolina.

Jade and Adam arrived at Carolina's place around 12.30am. Carolina wanted some privacy before thats why they selected the after 12 timings... As Adam entered Carolina's apartment he saw pictures on the wall and frames kept on shelves and tables with Jay and Carolina together. Adam felt very sad and depressed after looking at the pictures. Both Jade and Adam were sitting on a couch in the living room with the TV on. While Jade was switching through the channels, "Wait, go back. Isnt that your office building." asked Adam pointing at Jade. "As said earlier, we interrupt to bring you this breaking news. An investigation room with a female patient inside was burned in flames around 11pm today. All communication channels seems to be cut off and the mode of visibility is very low as well, as a dark smoke is surrounding the 43rd floor of this 46 storey building. Police and the investigation team are still searching for the female body. We are not sure whether she survived or not!!!" "I cant get through the office nor my colleagues cell numbers." said Jade in a worried state. "Adam, I am going down to the office, thats Gen's room that got fire!" Adam at once stood up, "No, wait!! I am coming with you." said Adam. "No, remember you have to stay with Carolina here." shouted Jade. "Sh** its just not happening" said Adam holding his head in his hands....

Part 4

By the time Jade reached, the fire was already under control. To her surprise the body of the victim was no where to be found. It was 1am early morning, Police and FBI were investigating at the scene. Jade went upstairs to look at the burnt room on the 43rd floor. Everything was burned except of that corner where she was sitting day and night next to the wall and on the floor. The security camera tapes were yet to be released. "Adam, you have to hear this! people are in shock as how come that corner is not burnt where Gen was sitting and the rest of the entire room was blown out!" said Jade. "Its 1.30am Jade, I am sitting next to Carolina, she appears to be tensed and so do I" said Adam. The clock struck 2am. "We were suppose to get married next month on the 19th." said Carolina in a low voice. "Adam, why are we suffering, what wrong did Jay did? He never ever hurt anyone, then why he had to die like this!!" said depressed Carolina. "Just to let you know, even if you have to go to the toilet I am going in with you." said Adam.

It was 2.15am. Ding Dong!! The door bell rang. "Who can that be at this time of the hour." said Adam. "JADE!!!" said Adam in a shocking tone. "You look tired. Are you feeling alright?" asked Adam to Jade. "The lifts were not working, we went on the 43rd floor from the ground floor, what do you expect!!" said Jade. "Come on in, I will get you something to drink." said Adam. It was 2.30am and all three were discussing what had happened today and has been happening in past couple of days. "Carolina, do you have any of Jay's clothes or anything from him kept with you." asked Jade. "Well! Yes a lot of stuff. Why are you asking." said concerned Carolina. "Just like that. No special reason." said Jade. The time was coming close and Adam was getting worried continuously looking at Carolina. "I will not let you go. Enough is enough." said Adam. "Well guys, I need to go to the toilet." said Carolina. "Its 2.45am, you are not going anywhere." said Adam in a grave voice. "No problem Adam, I will go to the toilet with her." said Jade. "Well! I trust you Jade. I will be waiting here. But hey!!! be quick you girls." said Adam

It was 2.50am, Adam could here the girls talking inside. He smiled and then looked at his wrist watch, the clock was ticking. 2.55am!! "Jade, Carolina are you girls alright?" said curious Adam. Adam went close to the toilet door and put his head next to the door to hear more clearly. There was utter silence inside and within the apartment. "Jade, can you hear me. Open the god damn door NOW!!" shouted Adam. The clock struck 3am. Adam was looking at his watch at that time, to his surprise his wrist watch stopped at exact 3am. The seconds needles were not moving as well. Adam started banging at the door and pushing it hard so it breaks open. Ding Dong!! the door bell rang. "What the ****" Adam sighed. He went to the door and peeped through the eye hole. "It cant be" said shocked Adam. "Sorry I am very late but my car had a flat tyre. At this time of the hour there were are only few cars on the road." said JADE!!! Adam literally fell and sat on the floor. "Its too late now, shes gone!!" said Adam in a very low voice.

Jade rushed inside the apartment, looked everywhere and couldn't find Carolina. At last she reached at the toilet door. She turned the knob and the door was open. "Adam, Adam!!" Shouted Jade. Adam came running and saw Carolina sitting in the same corner of the toilet like the before victims and was STILL ALIVE!!!! Adam and Jade both picked up Carolina and took her into her bedroom. It was 3.20am. "Carolina, I want to know what happened inside. Please you have to speak!!" cried out loud Adam. Carolina was all wet and was shivering. Her eyes were low and she was same like Gen could not talk at all. What Jade and Adam noticed was that her hair was cut as well and her 2 fingers of her right hand were not there as she was bleeding wide open. Jade immediately got up, went to the living room and called the Paramedics. The medics arrived after 15 minutes. Carolina was taken to the State Hospital, where she was under emergency treatment and under continuous watch. "Shawn, you would not believe this, but Carolina is still alive." said Adam on the phone at 5am in the morning with Shawn.

Adam and Jade were very exhausted and hungry as well. Both went for a quick breakfast and called in Shawn too. It was 7am now and Carolina was shifted in the main ward. "I need to have some desperate sleep." said Adam. "Jade, if you dont mind. I need to ozze off for some time. Its 7.20am, I am going to my apartment to take some rest, I think you better should do that as well!!" said Adam. "Alright! Carolina will be under full protection and in safe hands, now that she is in the hospital." said Jade. "Shawn, do me a favor. Can you go and visit Carolina and update me on her condition say around 12 till I wake up!" said Adam. "Sure, no problem" said Shawn. Adam left the hospital and came to his apartment. He directly went to the bed and fell asleep.

"Adam wake up, Adam, come on now, wake up.. its 1pm." Said a voice. "Hey Shawn, how did you get inside my bedroom?" asked sleepy Adam. "I think you forgot to look the door. thats how." said Shawn. "Jade has something to show you in Carolina's apartment. Come lets go." said Shawn. Both arrive about 1.40pm in the afternoon at the apartment. "Hi Jade, how are feeling now. Did you had some rest!" asked Adam. "Well! may be half hour only and that was also in my car as we are now shifting to our head office in the main avenue." said Jade. They walked inside to Carolina's bedroom. All three noticed that the wall clock and the alarm clock on the bed side table were stopped at 3. Adam looked at his wrist watch which was now properly functioning showing the right time. Jade sat on the floor next to the bed and saw 2 human fingers on the floor, appearing underneath the bed. "That must be Carolina's" said Adam having that weird feeling after looking at them. "Why has the Police or the investigation guys left it here." asked Adam. "They never were here, in the first place." said Jade. Jade got up and sat on the bed and lifted one of the pillows. "Sh**! thats blood underneath that pillow." shouted Shawn. "Yes it is" said Jade. "Boys, the blood and the fingers were never there. When i came in about 12 I saw them. Our boys made a video tape of the entire apartment at 10.30 but without the blood underneath and no fingers!!" said Jade in a curious tone.

"Hi Jade, Its Brandon here. We have got the video reel from Miss Sebastian's room before it caught fire." said a voice on the phone!!

Re: 3am

getting interesting!!

Adam, Jade and Shawn arrived at the State House Investigation Bureau at 8pm. It started raining the moment they arrived at the place. "Miss Keith, Hi Its Brandon Murdoch. How are you. Glad to see you here." said Brandon. "I must admit it, I have never ever seen anything like this in my entire life before." said Brandon. Adam and Shawn both were more than excited to see the video. The all arrive in a dark room with projector screen on. Brandon gives a go-signal to the assistants sitting at the back. The video kicks off with the same scene which Adam had already seen. Gen was sitting in the very same corner of that room looking at the ceiling. after 3 minutes of the same vision, suddenly they hear a humming sound. "Its that little girls singing again" whispered Adam. They noticed Gen's lips were moving, which they concluded; she was humming. Gen was still in that straight jacket. The camera was fixed in such a corner of the room that you can see the door on the right hand side visible as well as the entire room.

After 5 minutes of no movement, Gen suddenly fells on the floor and goes into an un-natural state of fits. Since she was still in straight jacket, her movement was bound. It appeared that she was bleeding from the mouth as well. "Why didnt anybody go any rescue her, if you had the bloody camera online!" shouted Adam. "Adam, I swear we never saw anything like that. If it was the case definitely she must have been taken to emergency care immediately." Said Brandon. "Wait look, her straight jacket is opened." said Shawn. "Gen struggled her way out of the straight jacket as she was enormously bleeding from her mouth. She ran from one corner to the other, and started banging her hands on the door. "Please somebody save me... they will kill me. I dont want to die... PLEASE!!!" they could hear Gen crying and screaming.

"Whats that" said shocked Jade. There were blood red trails of leaf like structures or wires soaked in blood coming down from the ceiling upon the door. "What happened" there was a loud cry from Adam and Jade as the projector screen just went off. "Hey guys, what happened. Is there a power switch shot or something?" asked Brandon pointing at the assistants. "Sir, we dont know yet. We are trying to sort out the problem. Will let you once its fixed." said one of the assistants. "Hey where's my cell." said curious Jade, searching in her handbag. "I might have left it at Brandon's desk, while coming here." said Jade. "Adam, I going downstairs, give me a call when the video is back up again." said Jade.

Jade went out of the room and headed towards the West end lifts. She goes in a lift and presses the 6th floor number key. The lift starts moving. When the 6th floor comes, the lift stops but DOES NOT open the doors. Jade starts walking near the door when it approached the 6th floor, but to her surprise the lift doors do not open. Jade looks around for a moment and presses 6 again on the keypad, the lift by itself presses the "3" number key on the keypad and startd heading downwards. Jade starts panicking. She does not have his mobile neither any other means of communication. She presses the security bell sign 5 to 6 times, but then again the lift wont stop. Finally the lift arrives at the 3rd flood. The doors are now open. She is still standing inside the lift. She paused for a moment then at once jumps out of the lift. "Why is it too dark over here and too quite as well." whispered Jade. "Why am I on the 3rd Floor". said Jade to herself.

Jade starts walking towards the right side of the corridor. She tries to open all the rooms which are coming in her way. "Who's there" Jade shouted. A walking footsteps sound came from the left side of the corridor. "Hello, can anybody here me?" shouted Jade. Jade tried to follow the path where the sound was coming from. Suddenly she stopped walking. It was as if she just could not move, her legs were being held by something. As she lowered her head to see her feet. She saw dark black hairy structures surrounding her feet. Speechless Jade at once pushed herself off the floor and started running towards the right side. She saw bright white light coming from the right hand corner of the block. She started running more fast as she saw the hairy structures were actually following her. Jade saw one of the rooms at the corner with an open door. She immediately went in and locked the door from inside.

She forgot to read the door sign, it said Room 333!!!

Part 6

Jade was in room 333. The only room that had its lights on, on the entire 3rd floor. She had come in and shut the door and locked it from inside immediately. Jade had a sigh of relaxation. She was feeling cold then usual. Jade tried calling Adam from the desk phone, but the phone was out of ordrer. Even with the connection wire, it did not had an proper ring going through. The room only had 1 window and that was also facing the corridor. She sat on one of the chairs and drank water, which was already kept on the desk inside the room. Jade came close to the window and wanted to see through it towards the corridor. Sunddenly the same hairy structure srrounds the entire window like a blanket. Jade was getting freaked out by seeing it moving.

It was 10pm already. Jade was not able to go out of the room because of those "things" outside". "Its getting more and more cold here! the phones are not working as well" said shivering Jade. "I need to get out of here." said Jade talking to herself. The room was like an executive suite with a right hand side door opening towards the meeting room. Jade who's sitting next to the door hiding from the hairy structures, notices some one is inside the meeting room. She quitely opens the door and goes in. There is a woman wearing a long black dress sitting on the last seat of the conference table facing towards the wall. "Excuse me!!!" Hello, can you hear me?" said Jade in a quite voice. The woman in black stands up, she appeared to be quite a tall female from behind. Jade was feeling very weak now! She went close to the woman and again said. "Are you alright?". The woman turned facing towards Jade and said I am fine thank you." Jade started screaming and yelling when she saw a complete normal female body without eyes and only lips replying to her. She had dark black hair same like those who had been following her.

"Its alomst an hour, that Jade has been gone now." said Adam. It was 10.45pm, Adam and Shawn were really worried about Jade. "Hey look, Jade's cell is here on her chair where she was sitting." said Shawn. "Why would she go for her missing phone if it was right over here in the first place." said Adam to himself. "Brandon, whats your office number and floor?" asked Adam. "It's 601 on the 6th floor' said Brandon. "Why, what happened?" asked curious Brandon. "I am going down to look for Jade." said Adam. The moment Adam stepped his foot out of the door, the projector screen went "on" again. "Hey, its working now." said Shawn. Adam wanted to go but also wanted to see the video. "Hey look! that girl looks like Jade." said surprised Shawn. The scene appeared to be of the same white room with not Gen but "JADE" in it. "No, wait... it is Jade." said Adam. Jade was seen wearing a long black dress with black long open hair. "Jade!!!!" paused Adam. "I am going down guys. let me know what happened. As Adam moved towards the door to step out, "Please! dont go" said Jade in the video.... you have to stay" again said Jade (in the video). "No, I wont, and YES!! I am going" said Adam in an angry voice.

Adam looked at his wrist watch it was 11pm now. The lift stops at the 6th floor and out comes Adam. Adam follows the sign and enters the "601" room. He opens the door and goes in without closing it. He looks everywhere but it seemed that no one was here since they "only" last visited the place. Adam became tensed now. He went near the lifts and waited for the lifts to come. The lift comes and in goes Adam. Adam was so depressed that he didnt even bother to press the 11th floor key on the keypad. He stood by the lift wall within the lift. As he approached the keypad, the lift door automatically closes and "3" has been pressed already to his surprise. "Jade" sighed Adam. He calmly participates in the activity which is being taken place. The lift stops at the 3rd floor, out comes Adam. It's a common office day, people moving around, papers in hand, some on the phone. Adam asks alomst everybody in the corridorr about Jade. No one knew where she had gone.

Adam takes the lift and goes back to the 11th floor where Shawn and Brandon were. "Hey what happened! is the video over." asked Adam. "The moment you left the room, there was fire all over the room in the video." the tape got ended there. "Where's Jade?" asked Shawn. "I dont know! I cant find her. Something very strange happened." said Adam. "Shawn can we talk for a moment." said Adam. Brandon and the assistants left the room with Adam and Shawn still being there. Adam told Shawn everything what had happened. "3rd floor! definitely something has happened on the 3rd floor." said Shawn. "Hey lets go to the CCTV people and ask them to pull the tape out!" said Shawn. "Brilliant idea" said Adam. Adam and Shawn went to Brandon and convinced him to go with them to the CCTV room. All 3 go in a lift and hit the "1" button on the keypad where the CCTV stations were located. They arrive at the CCTV main station room. Brandon is already talking to one of the assistants there to arrange them a visual braodcast of today from a certain time till 11.45pm. "I need to get something from my office" said Brandon. Adam and Shawn waited in the CCTV room. They also saw Brandon on the screen walking through the corridor.

While Brandon was walking towards one of the lifts, he noticed a piece of torn paper on the floor. He picked it up and it read.. "your next"

Re: 3am

where's the next part dude>? i m waiting :)

The CCTV video was up, but there was no footage of Jade anywhere to be seen. Adam knew something was wrong. Shawn and Adam went to Brandon's place with him. They sat their till 1.15am talking and discussing the current issues. "7 years back there was a story in the newspaper that a mysterious girl have been seen around town in the residences blocks after 3am. It was also said that people around town had witnessed extra-ordinary activities in people who had a close encounter with that female." said Brandon. "hmmmm, can that be related to all this happening now!" said Adam. "Brandon can you tell me from where I can get more details on this subject." asked Adam. "All I can say is try going to the library and have look at the archive newspapers, or you can even try searching on the net." said Brandon. "Its almost 2 now, Adam lets go man! I need some sleep." said Shawn. On their way back Adam stopped by at Jade's apartment. "Shawn, I need to check and see whether she has arrived or not." said Adam. Shawn left Adam at Jade's building and left. Adam went upstairs to Jade's apartment without realising it was 2.15am already. He went near her apartment door and rang the bell. There was no response for sometime. He again rang the bell, still nothing. Adam decided to leave and started walking towards the lifts. He then turned back and went towards Jade's apartment again. He held the door handle and to his surprise the door was open.

Adam went in and shut the door. He was quite and was very sure something was not right. He looked at his watch which was 2.30am. Adam without looking here and there straight away went to Jade's bedroom. "JADE!!!!" Adam shouted. "I have been looking for you. Do you know how much worried I was." said Adam in an angry tone. Jade was sitting still with her head down. "Jade, look at me, whats wrong with you. Where did you vanish today. We searched the entire building for you." said curious Adam. Jade stood up with her head still down and started walking towards the toilet. "Jade, Jade" shouted Adam. "You are not going anywhere from my sight again. Do you hear me." said Adam. He walked by pass her and went inside the toilet and was staring at her coming inside as well. Jade stopped right at the edge of the toilet. She lifted her head and gave Adam a smile. Adam's entire body was like frozen solid he could not move. The door of the toilet closed by itself having Adam inside. Adam felt a certain pause in his body as he struggled to move. After the door was closed, Adam's body was released from the hold. He was still facing the door.

Adam heard the same girl's whisper again and was hesistating to turn around but slowly turned. "Oh my God!!! Please no, please!!!" sighed Adam. He dropped on the floor holding is head. There were tears in his eyes. "What the f*** do you want. Why Jade... why!!!!!!" shouted Adam. It was Jade's body same in the corner of the toilet. Her face was in a bloody mess and her hair were cut as well. Jade was dead. Adam went close to the body as he noticed something in Jade's left hand. It was a red torn cloth with fresh blood on it. Adam took that out of her hand and opened the door and shut it back again. Adam called Brandon and Shawn and had informed the Police as well. The investigation team had taken Jade's body for investigation. Part of the team was still in the apartment, investigating. "Adam, can you please tell me, what exactly happened here." asked Brandon. "I wish I knew" said Adam in a low voice. "Hey Adam, I found this, while I was walking through the corridor at my office today!" said Brandon, giving that piece of torn paper to Adam.

"Brandon, we will TODAY!!! wait for 3am" said Adam. The entire day passed going through Jade's apartment, CCTV cameras and investigating with people around. Adam, Shawn and Brandon had passed the entire day together. Adam and Shawn came back to Brandons apartment with him. Adam was still thinking about that red cloth which he had got from Jade's hand. While he was thinking about it, he saw a news story on one of the TV channels sitting at Brandons place. They showed a lady sitting in one of the main boulevard street passages, selling accessories. The next scene was shown her selling red small napkins. Adam at once took out the red cloth from his pocket and said "It looks like a torn piece out of those napkins." "you might be right." said Brandon. "It's already 12am now. Better not go out there and look for it." said Shawn. "We will go there round about 6pm" said Adam.

The clock was ticking. Adam and Shawn were getting curious. Brandon had ordered snacks and drinks for the boys. "Knock Knock" the entrance door went. Now who would knock but not ring the bell! "Mr. Brandon Murdoch" said a voice outside the door. Brandon went and opened the door, Adam and Shawn were also with him. "I am from International Courier Services and have been said to deliver you this parcel." said a guy wearing a blue uniform, standing outside the door. Brandon grabbed the parcel and the guy left saying "enjoy your evening"

Brandon came in and opened the parcel. It was Jade's mobile phone. Adam quickly took it from Brandon and started checking the last dial in numbers. The last number which was dialed read 3. Adam was getting frustrated now. It was already 1am. Adam went to Jade's phone's almost every file but could not see anything suspicious in it. He clicked on the videos saved. It had 3 videos. Adam opened each one by one. The first 2 had Jade with her family and her cat on her birthday. The last and 3rd one had a screaming sound, when Adam opened the file. "Please, I beg you. I want to live, dont do this too me." cried Jade. Adam was so upset. He was continously staring at the mobile screen holding it in a manner that Shawn and Brandon can also see it. After the entire sound was ended, they all kept still staring the screen. "Its all over." said Adam. He then flipped the screen off the phone and went to the toilet. He was standing in the toilet looking at that mobile. He got up the toilet seat, buckled up and that time the mobile was kept on a shelf like thing beneath the mirror. He was washing his hands and noticed the video was back on again. He stood there with the water running and saw the same video again, but this time there was a dark shadow figure standing in a tiled room with dark black hair all over the face. Adam only saw it moving its arms and hands towards the screen of the phone. Adam at once flipped the screen and shut off the mobile.

Adam came out of the toilet and at once looked at his watch, it was 2am and Brandon was still alive!!! "Thats not possible" said adam. "Why what happened" said Brandon. "I saw this freaking woman coming out of the mobile phone." said Adam. "You didnt thought of anything else to scare us, but that stupid horror flick joke" said Shawn. "I am not joking" shouted Adam. "Anyway you will not believe me, I know." said Adam. All 3 were sitting together on the same couch. Then all of a sudden Brandon's phone had a msg tone. Brandon was sitting in the middle. He took his phone from his pocket and read "1 new message received". Brandon went to the inbox to see the message. It was a multimedia msg, exactly the same as Jade had on her mobile. "Thats weird" said Shawn. "My mobile battery is out, I am going to my room to put it on charge." said Brandon. " I am coming with you" said Adam. "Shawn was sitting on the couch drinking his chilled beer. Brandon and Adam both entered the room and were looking for the charger. "Ah, there it is." said Brandon as he sat on the floor to get it from underneath the bed near the corner of the table. The moment Brandon bent down to get the charger he saw a burnt face of a lady with black open long hair staring at her with white eyes without any eyeballs in it.

Brandon immediately got up. "Whats wrong" said Adam. Brandon told him everything and he (Adam) then sat on the floor and tried to see underneath the bed. There was nothing. "Its 2.15am" said Adam. They both went straight back after putting the phone on charge. "Where's Shawn."said Adam. Shawn entered behind them from the kitchen side. "Where were you." asked Brandon. Shawn sat on a seperate couch seat and was continously staring at Brandon. "Hey, Shawn, whats wrong." said Adam. "Brandon will die today." said Shawn. "No he would not" said Adam. Shawn got up and went towards the toilet. Adam felt something was not right. Brandon was already seeing objects and strange visuals around him. Adam didnt wanted to leave Brandon alone, so he sat there with him while Shawn went to the toilet. "Adam, will i also die." said Brandon in a depressing voice. "No! please No" said Adam. Brandon got up and stood next to the window. "What in the hell is that." shouted Brandon.

Brandon and Adam saw thick black structures coming down from top of the glass outside the window. "Move back, move back" shouted Adam. "Shawn, Shawn" shouted Adam. Shawn was still in the toilet. Those black structures surrounded the entire glass window of the sitting room outside the window. Adam got so freaked out, he immediately started calling the security downstairs. "Hello, yes please, we have a huge problem, can you come upstairs quickly." said Adam on the phone. Shawn came in through the corridor and behind him was a tall figure of a female body wrapped in the same black hairy structures as the one outside the window. Shawn quitely sat on the couch with his head down and Adam was standing infront of Brandon to protect him. "No!!!! GO AWAY!!!" shouted Adam twice. The lady figure passed through Adam's body like thin air and left Adam standing there as he was. It entered Brandon's body. "ADAMMMMM!!!!" shouted Brandon. His entire face and body were covered in that hairy structure. He was crying loud and yelling. Adam was helpless and could do nothing but to watch. After a moment blood started to come out of Brandon's mouth. Adam noticed the figure had left him and Brandon was on the floor crying in pain and dieing. Adam went close to Shawn, but Shawn as if he was stopped by something. Adam saw that lady like figure going towards the toilet. He noticed the same pattern was on that lady's dress as on the torn piece of cloth which he had.

Adam sat on the floor crying out loud and helpless. The security had arrived and one of them had already informed the Police. It was 3am. While the security and other officials were going through what had happened, Adam had already left the apartment and went straight to that lady in the boulevard alley where he saw she was sitting in the news broadcast. It was raining. Adam was standing all alone there and was shedding tears in anger. He then turned and was about to leave when he heard the same humming sound again. He turned back and saw a dark shadow like figure standing under one of the buildings corner alleys upfront. He ran towards it and was about to hit a car, when he slipped and fell on the floor. Till the time he got back up, the shadow had disappeared.

Adam went back to his apartment. He changed clothes, took a shower and came in his bedroom. He had a studio type dressing table set up in his bedroom. A middle mirror with one on the right side and one left. Adam stood infront of the mirror and was looking at himself. His phone started ringing. As Adam was moving away towards the side table, the middle reflection as well as the left side both moved but "NOT" the right side one. The right side reflection of Adam kept staring at him standing still. He went towards his phone, picked it up. "Hi Shawn." said Adam. "What happened, the last I remember is sitting on the couch with my beer can in hand and then I am surrounded with all these people in Brandon's apartament with Brandon's body on the floor and he is, he is dead!" said Shawn. "Its a long story, I will tell you tomorrow." said Adam. Adam put the phone down back on the table and had put the lamp on and shut the lights. He came and lay on the bed and was crossing his eyes all over the room. He then saw his reflection in the right mirror of the dressing table "STILL THERE". Adam who didnt knew what to do, picked up the phone and tried to call Shawn. As he lifts the phone to dial the number, the same "humming sound" came out of the phone. Adam threw the phone away on the floor and kept sitting on the bed. His eyes were wide open without a single feeling of sleep.

Adam then saw the reflection is moving and coming towards Adam's bed. Adam started to scream and yell as now that the reflection was gone in the mirror he didnt knew which way it headed. Ding Dong!! the door bell rang. Adam quickly ran towards the main entrance door. It was Shawn. "I am not opening it." shouted Adam. "Dont be stupid! its me Shawn" said Shawn. Adam opened the door and grabbed and pushed Shawn inside the hallway and closed the door immediately. "Whats wrong with you." said curious Shawn. "Forget about me, why are you here?" asked Adam. "You left this red cloth type thing their in Brandon's apartment." "Oh God! thanks" said Adam. "Shawn we need to talk. Adam took Shawn in his bedroom and reiterated everything what had happened. Adam was dead scared now and so was Shawn "Keep the lights on, we will see if something does not happen, then we will sleep" said Shawn.
