"Baldy where we going?" Alisa was delightfully obnoxious. I mean more than you can already expect from someone who introduced herself by killing a man in front of us. We were crammed into a pick up truck with Randal, for someone who was rich he sure had a crappy automobile.
"Alisa you'll have to use a different term for us, we're both bald." I thought it was rude to mention the hair thing, I mean I shave my head but I don't think Randal did (he had little hair wisps on his head, like some kind of reminder he had hair and just hadn't let it go).
"I already do, you're darky, he's baldy." I didn't even want to go into how awful those nick names were, also Alisa brought her shotgun into the truck with her so discretion was the key to survival. We had been traveling for a couple hours at this point and I had to give Alisa credit she hadn't said much until just now. She smelled awfully and was a terrible person, but she wasn't a huge talker.
"We're going to my building like I told you at the bar." Randal was very uncomfortable with Alisa, I couldn't exactly blame him, but then again he agreed to this horrible idea, so maybe I could blame him.
"You don't even know what's down there yeah? Maybe you should just burn it to the ground like the authorities told you." I was kind of surprised Alisa agreed with the authorities.
"The building will not be burned to the ground you two will go in there and fix it and that will be the end of this madness." Alisa turned to me and I shrugged, Randal seemed very insistent that not only could we fix the madness that was there, we had to. I did recall at this point that I had not been paid, and seeing the kind of truck Randal had I started to wonder if he wasn't exactly lying about his fortune (I myself had to pay Alisa her initial fee because Randal claimed he left his money at home, an excuse I have used to get out of paying things in the past).The car ride remained in silence until we got to his building.
The building looked scary enough. It was all alone in the countryside, stood five stories tall and didn't appear to be lit by any electricity (Randal claimed that whatever killed the tenants killed the power, I didn't see any power lines running to the property, but you know I just let this one slide too because I'm an idiot). Alisa and I got out of the truck and I was about to turn around and ask Randal for a key when he drove off.
"Well that's not comforting at all." I should have known Randal was a prick right then and there.
"Right Baldy up and leaves us here and expects us to do his job anyway? I say we find him and beat our fee out of him." It seemed like a good idea, but I had given my word and my word was well garbage, but this time I decided to keep it and maybe I really shouldn't have. But alas we didn't go looking to kill Randal, we went inside his building of horrors and that's when the creepy shit started.
