Chapter 2
1032 Words
Time to light another cigarette, stake outs are real drags. I have been sitting outside this house for about 3 days now and so far there has been no movement. It took a long time to finally find the perfect target. I was just about to go get something to eat when the front door opened. I watched as the young woman walked to the mailbox and rifle through her mail. She was about 5’10” without heels. She has a very natural curvy body style but you can also tell that she keeps herself toned. She was very beautiful without make-up but when she dressed up she was a knockout! She has shoulder length wavy auburn hair, and very delicate features. Her eyes were a very odd shade of amethyst that complimented her auburn hair. Her nose was small and nicely shaped and was overshadowed by her full luscious lips. Her breasts were a little small for my taste but they matched her physic perfectly. She had an average length torso but she had legs that any normal woman would kill for!
I was pulled out of my rambling thoughts when she began jogging to the gym that she goes to a couple times a week. I waited for her to turn the corner heading west before I left my hiding spot and crossed the street. I leisurely walked around the block, making sure that no one noticed me as I circled back to the front entrance. Once I reached the front door I made quick work of the lock and easily slid through the crack and safely inside her apartment. I stayed still long enough to scan for cameras or alarms. Once I knew that I was safe from detection I made my way through out the apartment. I needed to get as much information on this woman as possible, before leaving. I made my way around and saw that there was a sliding glass door to my right. I noticed that there was no safety stick so I could easily get back in when the time came to make my move.
I froze when I heard a low growl come from behind me. I remained calm as I slowly turned around and came face to face with a dog that looked like a wolf-hybrid. I cursed myself for not being more aware of my surroundings. The fact that there was no better security in this woman’s apartment now made more sense. She had all the protection she needed in this four-legged animal. I quickly scanned my surroundings for anything to give the dog to distract him from wanting me as a chew toy. I spotted a bag of dog treats sitting on top of the dryer. I slowly reached for the treats and was relieved when the dog came out sat near the dryer, clearly waiting for his treat. Once he got his treat the dog went back into his kennel.
I let out a breath of air as the tension slowly left my body. I quickly locked the kennel so I could walk around freely. I walked around and saw that she had no pictures of family or friends, including boyfriends. I know that as I was watching her place I never saw anyone come or go from her place. It’s almost like she is a hermit, she doesn’t live like a normal person of her age. I continued my searching and noticed that she was living like she was hiding from someone. I walked into her bedroom and that is where I found a box of her personal things. There were pictures of an older couple which I assumed are her parents and one of a younger version of herself. There were more pictures, lots more hidden away in the back of her closet almost like she didn’t want to see them but couldn’t get rid of them either.
I noticed that she kept her room spotless as well as all the rooms in this place. Her walls were painted in midnight blues and black curtains (hard for stalkers to get pictures of their targets). There was a 4-post king size bed in the middle of the room with a black mesh covering. It looked like those cabanas in desert areas to keep mosquitos out while sleeping. I walked over to her dresser and began to open and close drawers. I stopped when I opened a drawer that had all her sexy lingerie. I picked up a baby blue teddy with matching stockings I let my mind imagine what she would look like in this outfit, tied to the king size bed, breathing hard, eyes wide with fear of what was to come. I let out a low groan as my body reacted to my imagination.
I didn’t get much information from the bathroom except that she loves bubble baths. I finally moved towards the bed. I lightly ran my fingers along the sheet as I walked around the bed. My dad once told me that a person can always tell who a person based on their bedding. This particular woman favored silks, laces and dark colors. The sheets were made of a very expensive Egyptian silk and the blanket looked to be made of the same fabric. I envisioned her writhing under him with fear and anticipation.
I was so lost in my thoughts that when I looked at my watch I was surprised that I only had 6 minutes to be out of the apartment and across the street before his target rounded the corner to come back home. I quickly made sure that I left nothing amiss or behind as I made my way to the door. As I walked past the kitchen table I noticed that she had unopened mail sitting there, I was finally able to get her name, Vivian Helmsley. I made my way across the street as I rolled her name over and over in my mind. Her name tasted sweet on my tongue, too bad she wouldn’t be alive long enough to fully enjoy her life. I watched her intently as she came back home and entered her home.
