Maxim

"Come on Maxim," I puffed out a mouthful of air." Just relax. They're already on their way and will be here to nab the stalker any moment now. Just don't act suspicious."

"You're totally acting suspicious!" I groaned, punching the air in anger, mixed with a tinge of panic and anxiety. "Why me though? I get that I'm handsome but is all this really necessary?"

Immediately those words left my lips, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I shuddered at the thought of who that could be and my fears were confirmed the moment I peered at my phone's screen.

Unknown
You didn't reply. Don't you want to hang out with me?

The Chief's words played in my head.

Whatever you do, just keep her talking. We're going to try to track her from here before the others get to you.

His calm voice had managed to placate my thumping heart and raging emotions a bit. And don't act suspicious. Be natural .

This time, the stalker used a different number and I could reply to his texts too. That was good, right??

I've been dying to meet you, don't you feel the same way too?

"Okay Max boy," I gulped nervously, my trembling fingers struggling to get a grip on the phone." Here goes nothing."

Me
Of course, but you've been cruel keeping yourself away from me.

Unknown
Like you're that excited to see me...

Me
Of course I am. I want to meet that person who likes me so much

Unknown
Like you? That's an insult to how I really feel about you. I love you, in fact you can say I'm obsessed with you.

"Oh." I shuddered in pure fear." You're doomed Maxim. When are they going to get here? "

Unknown
Are you still there?

Me
Yeah, sure sure. So where are we going to meet up?

Unknown
I'll work out the details. I don't want a repeat of what happened the other time .

My hand absentmindedly traced my side, and I winced from the contact.

I definitely didn't want a repeat of that night.

Me
Okay. What did you have in mind?

Unknown
I was thinking....

My head whipped towards the back door as my ears registered a faint sound. It sounded like cans rolling over the cobblestones in the yard. That couldn't be possible unless...
