Halloween Drabble 8
Zechs paused on the porch, letting his flashlight play over the floorboards. "I hate these kind of jobs."
"This is what happens when the boss doesn't like you." His partner lifted a sardonic eyebrow.
"She doesn't like you either," Zechs replied.
"We could just quit."
Zechs eyed the doorway, noting the decaying wood, the way the door hung crookedly on its frame. "Don't tempt me."
"You can't tell me that you're frightened of a house?" His partner drawled.
"Look, three kids have vanished in here, right?"
Chang nodded.
"So, forgive me if I'm a bit worried."
"Worried? Frightened is more like it." His partner snorted. "You know perfectly well that the commander believes the kids ran off."
"The commander is not always right. And if that's the case why did the locals call us in?"
"Fine. I'll go in. You stay here and watch the porch. I'll call if I run into anything." Chang rolled his eyes and pried the door open. "Just don't run off."
"I'll go with you."
"No thanks. Something might scare you and you'd end up shooting me by mistake. I'll go alone." His partner entered the dark house.
Zechs waited.
Time passed. The sky lightened, the sun rose.
Zechs kept waiting.
