Around 6 AM Monday morning, police responded to a distressed 9-1-1 call on highway 640 southbound near exit 20. The caller, a Ms. Latoya Johnson had pulled over to the shoulder of the exit when she realized that her two year old daughter was not properly buckled into her car seat. “When I closed the door after buckling her in, a saw what looked like a dead dog on the side of the road,” Ms. Johnson stated in her statement to the police. When she got closer to the corpse, she realized that the body was not one of a dog’s, but of a person and immediately called the police. When units arrived on the scene, Ms. Johnson was inconsolable.<br>

~Police Chief Harbinger</b></th></tr></tbody></table></span>Police reports state that the unidentified body was one of a 20-30 year old Caucasian man. Very little is known about the identity of the man as the body was unrecognizable for facial evaluation. Teeth have been sent off for examination, but no results have been found. The body appeared to have several lacerations across its entirety. Multiple bones appeared to be broken and twisted in odd directions. The skin of the face had been completely detached and was found fifty feet from the body. All fingers had seemingly been cut off while the victim was still alive, suggesting he was also subjected to torture.<br>
<br>
<br>
When asked to comment, Police Chief, James Harbinger declined. No information is known if whether this was a gang-related attack, or if this was another ditched body from the serial killings cropping up all over the metropolitan area. In his address to the press on Tuesday afternoon, Mayor, Steven Hash, stated, “I will not stand by and watch as this city falls to the horrible, psychotic, and sickening hands of a murdered. I have good faith in Chief Harbinger and his men that they will find this criminal and bring him to justice.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Harbinger did release what little information he could about the attacks last Sunday evening in his broadcast report to the public. “There are slight consistencies within each killing that make us believe that they are all connected. While I cannot release such information at this time, know that these gruesome tragedies are not by accident. They are the doing of one person, or a group of people.” Since that report, a leak from inside the office by an unknown source has led to reports of similar wounds being the ‘lead’ the chief was speaking of. Other rumors are strange sigils of demonic nature cut into the flesh of the victims is the ‘consistency’. As of now, these have proven to just be rumors, leaving the city’s public in the dark.<br>
<br>
<br>
Safety advisories have been released as a precaution by city officials. Officials warn to be wary of strangers and suspicious looking people on the street. “Since such brutal killings could not possibly happen in the day, we suggest civilians to remain in their homes once the sun has gone down.” Civilians should not carry extra weaponry around with them in hopes of protecting themselves from such vicious attacks. “The more guns out there, the higher the chance of an innocent person getting hurt.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Citizens must be reminded that these horrific scenes are only found every month or so. The most recent body being found three weeks after the last. While autopsy has shown that they have been deceased for quite some time, these killings seem to be at random. Police officials still have no leads as to any reason for the victim's choosing.  While still not a settling fact, victims have been found all over the city, leading to no assumed gang to be involved. "If it was a gang, there would be a specific area we wouldn't find them. Oftentimes, gangs offer murder as an initiation, but the dumping of these bodies would be out of their territory. The sure amount of dead appearing, however, could lead us to believe this is some sort of turf war. Look-We just aren't sure yet. The press will know when we know."<br>
<br>
<br>
With this vicious addition to the criminal population around the city, it seems that crime rate continues to rise as officers are taken off the streets and put on the case of finding this killer. This has not hurt the polls for Mayor Hash who has been very open about his war to battle crime. It comes just in time for the election next year.<br>

By mimicking the look and taste of a sesame peanut patty, dealers are able to get small children unknowingly hooked on the candy and its very calming after-effects are only positively noticed by parents.<br>
<br>
<br>
"These criminals are hitting us right where we know it hurts. They are trying to take control of our family and our lives to make an extra dollar and I will not stand for it!" Mayor Hash has openly defended his proposition to spend more tax money on cracking down on drug trafficing through the city, but the board determined last fall that tax dollars should go towards city streets and cleaning up buildings and sidewalks so that newcomers may see the beauty of the city. This has not stopped Hash from putting his own money in for rounding up drug rings and voters at the polls all at the same time.<br>
<br>
<br>
While this is still a new offering and parents can be careful what they give their children, it is easily confused with the confection and reports say that this drug, Bay Cao, has already made its way into other products as well. Its highly addictive properties make it hard to fight with normal rehabilitation actions, and worry doctors that this may be the hardest addiction to cure yet. Other effects of the candy include:<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div class="bbcode-centerblock" style="width: 90%;">A soft sigh escaped into the cooling air. It wasn’t normal for morning to be like this no—she wasn’t used to sleeping all day and being awake and ready to head out as the sun went down. It was a positive fact that, no matter how hard she tried to sleep all day in preparation for this, tonight was going to kick her ass. She wasn’t looking forward to that feeling either. It had probably been a bad idea just to jump into something like this, but money was tight and the job needed filling as soon as possible, so she really had no choice. She needed to get steady again and back on her feet.<br>
<br>
<br>
She sat in the passenger seat of their old, beat to shit, and hardly running Ford Fusion as the sun turned the edges of the sky purple with its final decent over the horizon. In the young woman’s hand was a newspaper that she read quietly as they made their way down darkened streets toward the museum. Since it closed at eight, the two would have a little time before Eva needed to go inside, but Eva was a stickler for punctuality.<br>
<br>
<br>
“If you read that whole thing now, you’re not going to have anything to read on the job” A pleasant voice escaped into the silence of the car. Evangeline looked up from where her eyes looked over the small pictures printed in the paper. She was met with a tired smile from the pleasant beauty that she could call her own. Eva returned the smile to her partner, folding up the newspaper, and opting to read it once she was sitting in an office somewhere waiting for something to happen.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I just hope this job is going to be as simple as you think” Resting her head back, Eva soon in a slow, deep breath.<br>
<br>
<br>
“What have you got to worry about? You’re a night-watch guard.” A quiet giggle escaped her lips. “You think you’re going to have to fight off some super spy or something for some artifact?” She shook her head as they pulled to a stop at a red light. “I highly doubt that” Without really thinking, Regan let her hand rest on Eva’s in hopes of comforting her. “You’ll do fine.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“And what if I don’t?” A quiet groan escaped her lips and she pulled her hands up to her eyes to rub the feelings away. “This job pays, and I can’t lose this.” There was a slight pause as Regan formulated the answers she would need to calm Eva away from this anxiety.<br>
<br>
<br>
Beside the pressure she was putting on herself to make this work and for it to do well, she knew they could no longer afford for her to be off of work. Regan was working herself to death trying to provide for the two of them, and Eva was blessed every day that she didn’t make a fuss about it. This job would give them enough to live easily on. The pay was good enough that Eva could make in a day what Regan made in two. When she saw this opportunity in the paper, she had to snatch it up. If not for the pay, then for the memories.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she was young, Eva would come to this museum at least once a week to look at the exhibits. The rides were quite long on the bus, but she knew how to sneak on without anyone ever seeing her. It was a free ride to wherever she wanted to go—even if that meant taking the greyhound a few hours on Saturdays to go and see the exhibits. It was a ritual for her, and was a way to get out of the house. So, Eva took the opportunity and ran with it. Even though she had seen them already, the supernatural feelings and the beautiful pieces of art drew her close. When she was younger, she wanted to be the one to choose the art that was placed in the galleries and pick the pottery that was on display because it was said ancient sand deities lived within. That’s what she wanted to do. The museum, along with quite a few other places around the town, were escapes from reality where Eva could let her dreams run free. That was what brought her back here. It was even said to be haunted—she had heard that many times when she was younger—but now that she was here now, she didn’t really believe the child’s hearsay anymore.<br>
<br>
<br>
“You don’t have to deal with anyone. There isn’t much to mess up, babe.” They had stopped again, but this time, Regan pulled into a parking spot on the side of the road.  The building was beautiful in the waning light. The last bit of light cut deep shadows into the stone. Large pillars shot up from the ground to holdup the front of the building. It was large, and since its building, there had been extra sections added onto the museum to provide more space. It was just small enough where one guard and a plethora of cameras could watch the whole place, and if there was a problem, the guard should be able to handle it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Really, she wasn’t even sure why she acquired this position. Didn’t guards usually have to be able to chase people down and stop them? The chasing would be fine. She could run like an angry hornet, but she wasn’t sure if her size would allow her to bring someone large down. While she was quite tall, and that gave her some weight to her step, she also knew that a seven foot tall man could easily get her off of him—then again, who would be able to stop someone larger than her? It wasn’t like—<br>
<br>
<br>
“Well, I will see you after work.” Another soft giggle called Eva out of her thoughts. When she looked over, she was met with a kiss on the lips. “I’ll see you at seven, right?” Eva let a hand rest on the side of her partner’s face, her fingers interlacing with the vibrant hair.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Seven. Yeah.” Planting another kiss, she quietly got out of the car, and closed the door. There was a pause before the window rolled down. Turning, she gave a small wave, and a smile.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I love you. You’ll do fine! “Eva only grunted in response. What had once been an uneasy feeling that settled in her throat was now a simple calmness. Twenty minutes early didn’t faze her. She simply watched as the car drove away, and then turned, making her way up the stone steps, and into the museum she had grown to love. </div><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lana awoke to the sound of the birds chirping in the rafters as the sun rose high in the sky. Before she opened her eyes, she tried stretching out her body, but was met by the scream of her muscles, and a few aches and pains that were not present in her body before she went to bed. The sun was way to bright. She thought thinking about the room she usually fell asleep in. It was smaller than most of the secret spare rooms in the museum. It was well hidden off of the right wing, she actually had to climb down a trap door to get to it. When she slept she needed something that offered the most protection. After all, she lived in the public museum and anyone could stumble upon her. She didn't want anyone finding her though. She was hiding here for a reason.<br>
<br>
<br>
Lana opened her eyes and noticed she was indeed in the attic of the museum, a place she had no relocation of going, much like she had no reconciliation of how she got the aches and pains that hurt her body. <i><span style="color: #00b300">What am I doing here? </span></i>She questioned standing up. She looked at her slim limber body and noticed there was a new rip in the shorts she wore and a small cut on her left arm. <i><span style="color: #59b300">How did that happen?</span></i> She wondered. She searched her brain but nothing came to mind. Sighing she went over to her secret stash to make sure her treasures were still safe. Everything was in there and accounted for.<br>
<br>
<br>
She checked the old fashioned watch of her father's. The clock read 6:37 am. <span style="color: #59b300">"I guess it is a good thing I got up early."</span> She said out loud. Sometimes she spoke just to hear her own voice to make sure it still existed. Living alone for as long as she had, she got lonely. Taking some money from the box, she went to the entry way and climbed down to the top floor. The museum opened at 9am. Around 8am, some of the staff arrived to get things ready. The top most floor wasn't often inspected, so she knew it was safe to walk around on.<br>
<br>
<br>
She didn't have to walk far, one of the room to the left of the attic had a secret closet panel, that lead to a series of maze like tunnels. Most didn't know of the passage, those that did got lost a few minutes in. She had a map though, and knew her way around. Walking through the dark halls, she found the room with the landing she needed. She climbed into it and began crawling to her room. The whole trip took around a ten minutes.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was modest, with a small cot in on corner, a desk in the other and a dresser with a lamp opposite of all of it. On the desk stood her two pet rats, her only companions. The walls were made of brick and the floor of dirt. She had no idea how the furniture got into it, but assumed it was long before the room was closed up and the museum built. Taking some of the bottled water she kept and poured it into a washing bowl she stole from one of the back rooms of the museum. It is not something that was missed. She had it for a few months now and no one noticed.<br>
<br>
<br>
She took off her normal clothing and cleaned herself up. She even washed her hair to the best of her ability putting it up in a nice knot. She noticed a few new bruises on her body as she put back on her undergarments, and got out her clutch bag she kept her money in. It was something from her past life, highly decorated and expensive. She only used it when she went out to the once every other week. She also grabbed out one of her fancy dressed from the same past life, and a scarf she always wore over her face. She tried her best to keep her identity hidden. Climbing back out of her room, she took another set of maze like halls that led her to the basement.<br>
<br>
<br>
There she opened the door that came out in the boiler room, and put on her outfit. She never wore while in the passages for fear it would get dirty. It wasn't like she had easy access to washing facilities. After she dressed she left the boiler room and went out one of the back doors in the basement, just like every other time she did this, she went unnoticed.<br>
<br>
<br>
On a semi-weekly basis, Lana let her self-imposed seclusion and went out into the town. She bought herself food, (mostly snack bars and water, sometimes fruit), got some new reading material, rat food, and a few other odds and ends that she needed. Today pain medication was at the top of her list. Her trip into town never lasted long. About an hour and most of that was walking to the stores and back home. She needed to be back to the museum by eleven when it had the most amount of employees, and had the highest number of visitors. Something about Supernatural objects had a draw to all people. She over heard that there was going to be a few school field trips there today. A bunch of nosy kids, she needed to be on guard while they were there.<br>
<br>
<br>
After she finished with her shopping, thankfully again going unnoticed, she walked back to the museum and entered in through the same basement door. She took the same path that she did earlier that morning, and was back to her room, in no time. She put her items and clothing away and dressed back in the shorts and tank top she normally wore. After feeding her rats and eating something herself she left her room and went to the room where she did her spying at. It was off the kitchen facility, but the gossip she found there gave her valuable information in keeping her secret.<br>
<br>
<br>
The staff was busy as always, running around and giving tours. She listened to the ladies in the kitchen.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #0000b3">"Did you hear that they have a new 3rd shift guard coming in tonight?"</span> One of them stated.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #b30059">"Yes, I did. She has got to be a brave soul."</span> The other said. <span style="color: #b30059">"After all, I wouldn't want to be trapped in here at night with all of these items and the spooks that go bump in the night. Hell the gangs are enough to make anyone want to lock themselves away. And for it to be a woman, holy cow."</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #0000b3">"I agree. And you and I both know there is something in this building that isn't human."</span> The first said.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #b30059">"Ooh and what about those mysterious killings that were all over the paper this morning?" </span>The other said. Their banter continued.<br>
<br>
<br>
Lana heard all she needed. First she knew there was someone new here tonight. The guard position was open for months now, you had to be a fool to accept that position. Next, it was clear they felt her presence here, but still didn't know of her, that was a good thing. Lastly, she too was worried about the murders that were taking over the town. Part of her felt like she knew who or what did it. Because of that she knew she needed to do her best to make sure she wasn't found out or she was going to be next. That she was certain of.<br>
<br>
<br>
With a sigh she kept to her position watching people come and go. She enjoyed some of it. As closing time drew near she moved closer to an area where she could get a good look at the new guard that was coming on, that way she knew what she was up against. If it was someone smart, or serious about their job, she could be in some serious trouble.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div class="bbcode-centerblock" style="width: 90%;">As she walked toward the entrance, Eva took the time to look over the building. When she was younger, the stones seemed to tower over her. Never in a threatening manner did she see this building, but in one of comfort and hospitality. It was protection from all of her troubles at home. It was a sign of better times—even if only for a few hours. It was pleasant and inviting with the bright light of day. Now, as she watched the building grow closer and the shadows deepen, the feeling—while still calm—was a little darker. There was something unsettling about seeing this place at night and knowing that—in a few hours—she would be left alone inside it. To some that could be a comforting escape, and she hoped it would be for her as well, but she also feared that shadows could dance. Or something else could go wrong—a thief—that would be the worst outcome.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i>Stop. You are really worrying over nothing. What can be in here that is so much worse than working in the mall food court? I’m sure that everything will be fine. You’ve got to do this…For Regan.No backing out.</i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
Eva had to snap herself out of this mindset. She didn’t need to think about all the bad things that could go wrong. They weren’t certain to happen, so she needed to just calm down and enjoy the feeling of working again and providing again and being useful again…With a deep breath, she gripped the cold metal handle on the door and pulled it open. There was a slight fight against her, but as she pulled a gust of cool air hit her. Placing a soft smile on her lips, she walked in silently.<br>
<br>
<br>
The room, which she remembered to be bright and welcoming, was dim. The only lights that were on were the security lights up above, providing enough light for the cameras, but not enough to raise the electricity bill too high. Her shoes made a soft patting noise on the floor as she walked toward the front desk, and she saw no one.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Hello?” Her voice called out to the man that she had spoken with on the phone. He was supposed to meet her and show her duties. She looked around, but she saw no one. A ping of worry danced through her and she wondered if he had forgotten. Fishing for her phone, she went to call him again.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I’m up here.” The voice made her jump, and she looked toward the place it originated. Up on the second floor was a man—shorter than she was—holding up an arm to wave to her. “Come up here. The faster I show you how to use these cameras, the faster I can go home and make love to my wife.” A chuckle rumbled through the room and bounced off the walls. Without a lot of people roaming around, sound was free to travel and move as it wished.<br>
<br>
<br>
Without a word, Eva hurried up the steps off to her left and followed behind the elder man that walked ahead of her. He hadn’t even really said hello or anything. When she grew close enough where he didn’t have to shout, he began talking.<br>
<br>
<br>
“When you get here, all of the doors will be locked. I will give you a set of keys tonight and you will enter through a side door next to the security room.” He paused a moment when Eva finally caught up to him. “You will relieve whichever officer is on duty” Eva fought the urge to roll her eyes. <i>Officer</i>. They weren’t police men. “, and you will check the cameras to ensure they are functioning.” His blue-grey eyes cast over to her, looking up and down her form with a look that made Eva a little uncomfortable, but before he continued, he turned his head forward again.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Every hour your will make one walk of the facility, ensuring that all objects are in their correct place and that no one has snuck in.” They had finally made it to a room labeled ‘Security Office’ and Eva assumed this is where she would be spending most of her time. He pushed the door open with his large arm, and walked inside. “You will then watch the security cameras for any movement or intruders.” He came to stand behind the chair that sat in front of six small monitors and motioned for her to sit. Once she had, he pushed the chair forward so that there was no space left between her and the table.<br>
<br>
<br>
“These monitors will give you a view of the whole facility.” There was a slight pause and she could hear his breath in her ear. “The automatically swap to different feeds every eight seconds. So,” He reached forward with his hand and pressed a button on the keyboard before using the arrow keys to cycle through the feeds. “, if you need to go back to a different camera, you just select the number monitor you want and cycle through the feed.” He withdrew from his place behind the chair and started toward the door. It seemed he was ready to get out of this place as fast as he could.<br>
<br>

“You stay here until seven. The custodians and day watch will be here to relieve you of your duties.” The door was already open and he was walking out—Eva didn’t even know his name. “Good luck.” There was no type of reinforcement in his voice. Instead, it was flat, as if he had said this a million times before. Before Eva could ask for a contact number if there were problems, the door closed. When she walked to the door to try and catch him, he was gone.<br>
<br>
<br>
A small sigh escaped her lips as she walked back toward the desk. She sat down at the desk for a moment to get a feel of everything. Hopefully, she would be able to get comfortable working here. It wasn’t like she was here all the time. She just needed to make it about eight hours. Silently, she watched the cameras as they automatically changed to different feeds around the museum. It was now that the feeling sunk in—the feeling of being alone. Silently, she picked up the flashlight on the desk and opted to go for a walk. Hopefully, that would help her clear her mind.</div><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The most difficult thing with a new security guard was how they were going to do their hourly rounds. It would take Lana a few days to understand and get a feel for the way she would do her rounds. Then Lana would feel a bit better walking the halls at night, and sleeping. Well, Lana didn't really worry about sleeping, no one could find their way to her room. It was just an unsettled feeling knowing someone new was in there.<br>
<br>
<br>
The previous three guards, since she moved in, were all on the lazy side. They always came in, relieved their previous shift then sat behind the desk. Around midnight they would order in various food from the restaurants that were open all night long. They would eat their food, then sleep until around five in the morning. Anything that happened went unnoticed by them. They were daft; more than daft, they were daft, lazy swine. It was easy for her to move around in the building. She once even dropped a very large pot once and it didn't wake up the guard on shift.<br>
<br>
<br>
It didn't take her long to figure out the cameras in the building. They were placed in all of the common areas. Most of them in the main viewing rooms and halls. They also were at all of the main entrances and exits. Most of them were on the main floor, not on the second or the third that led to the attic. The second floor had the kitchen facility and there was one pointing towards the dining hall, but not one pointed to the kitchen or the back entrance to it. Which met it was safe to use it unless the guard actively patrolled.<br>
<br>
<br>
Another place Lana frequented at night was the bathroom facilities on the third floor. Since the museum was built as a house first, there were many bedrooms that had their own bathrooms. The one on the third floor, the master room that belonged to Harold and Maude Wyatt, had a wonderful bathroom in it. Beautiful fixtures, all marbled, and shiny. The owners before they made it into a museum updated it to have a luxurious shower with about a hundred different water jets. She used it frequently, but couldn't if this guard was going to actually be awake on the job, and walking around. During the night she moved around the most, but only did so because she was used to lazy guards. That would change if this woman was serious about her job.<br>
<br>
<br>
Lana followed her through the museum as she walked to the second floor. Lana was ghosting almost though the walls. The space wasn't large, but with her fail frame she could slid through them easily. She watched the previous shifts guard explain to the woman her new duties, quite quickly. Lana never would've been able to understand it. She didn't like nor understand computers in any way, shape or form. When the two of them were alone in the museum she turned her attention to the new guard.<br>
<br>
<br>
The first thing she noticed was her eyes, they practically glowed blue. Lana had a feeling if they were locked in a room together without light she would be able to find her from a mile away due to those eyes. Her hair was weird, if you asked Lana. One side was short, almost shaved bald, and the other was quite long. It looked really fake. In Lana's past life she had friends that got their hair color from bottles. She was blessed she didn't have to resort to those measures. Her hair was perfect, well, at least she thought so. It was her one form of vanity. The girl wasn't very large, most of the previous guards were burly men, so the shape of the woman was weak compared. But something about the way she held herself made Lana certain she could handle herself in a pinch.<br>
<br>
<br>
The woman sat at the monitors for awhile then got up taking her flashlight with her. Lana couldn't follow what she was doing but did take the maze of halls to the room at the top of the house. Once there she left through the same passage she used earlier to get into her halls. She stood in the master room of the home and walked to the door. Carefully she opened the door. It creaked, and she held her breath as she walked out into the shadows on the top floor balcony looking over trying to find the guard.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div class="bbcode-centerblock" style="width: 90%;">It was a blessing that the museum had the money to really afford good air conditioning. It was calming, as Eva walked quietly down the first hallway. There was a slight breeze that pushed past her as she pushed past it. It wasn’t too cold, for that would be a waste, but it was cool enough that she smiled quietly and walked toward the first large showroom.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she entered everything was still. Moonlight shone in through the windows situated high in the room. The large buildings that had sprouted up around the museum could be seen. Their lights were mostly off; some lights were on where some worked late in an attempt to press for deadlines. Some lights were on to attempt to make the outer area of the building beautiful to tourists. Eva knew that there was nothing quite beautiful about this city. Yes, it was an escape to some who could live in much worse cities, but there was always something that smeared the true simplicity of a city. Thieves, drug dealers, and prostitutes were a very big part of the city’s economy. It was hard to say that about a place that she had come to adore, but it was the truth. There was never a time where there wasn’t something in the paper about a murder, or how it was estimated that new drug clans had made more money than the local shipping offices. I really was always something.<br>
<br>
<br>
Letting out a deep sigh, Eva walked the distance of the room, being careful to take things in as she went. Nothing seemed out of place, and she tried hard to imprint this vision in her mind. If something moved, she wanted to know about it. Of course, no one was perfect. She could very easily see something and think it had been moved or the opposite. It would never work, but she told herself that she would take this job seriously every night she was here. She would protect this place.<br>
<br>
<br>
Since the museum had once been a home, some places the spaces were small. There were larger places for larger galleries that had built on to almost all sides of the museum, but as Eva turned a corner and walked into what looked to be a rest area of sorts, she realized how cramped some places were. There was a bathroom off to the left and a few benches on the right. Above the bench was a small clear plastic box affixed to the wall. Silently she walked toward it, peered at the odd looking ornament that had been placed inside, and then turned to walk away. It was then that she heard something.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was a flitting noise. One that someone could easily write off as it being their imagination: it was the creaking of a door or floor board somewhere far off. Anyone else would have found it odd, and in an old place like this, it was all likely. It could have been just the breathing of the house, or a vacuum created by the turning on of some piece of equipment in the building, but it still made Eva turn and look curiously around. She saw nothing, so she began walking.<br>
<br>
<br>
She hoped that the noise might happen again so that she could pinpoint its origin, but she knew that it probably wouldn’t happen. Instead, she gripped onto the sound in her mind and hoped that the could remember where she thought that she heard the noise. Her mind was complicated and the way she thought and acted was odd sometimes.<br>
<br>
<br>
Eva walked quietly toward the next doorway. The sound had been far off, and she knew that she would probably never find out where it had originated. At least it would give her a drive to walk through the rest of the place and enjoy the quiet. She could get a feel for everything and she would know where all of the cameras showed. She could make the time pass quickly by exploring and enjoying the atmosphere and the things around her. The flashlight she held cast deep shadows around the room. In one swift movement, she thought she saw something move in the room ahead of her. When she moved it back, the object was still. It was a doll; its skin was a soft blue hue. It was missing its right eye. She noticed, as she watched it, that the eye that was left was staring at her.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Creepy” She muttered quietly to herself before turning away from the doll and starting to walk away. She had seen this room; she needed to keep going toward the sound that was just a simple memory in the back of her mind.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lana followed the woman, wishing she knew her name, she didn't like just calling her the woman. She wondered about her and what was the driving reason for her working in a crack pot job like this. She followed her on the higher floors as she walked the other. A few hours into the night, gunshots rang from a few blocks over, followed by sirens. Lana shuttered wondering if it was the same group responsible for her families death still wreaking havoc on the town. She knew they had to be behind the beast the news paper, but then again a lot of bad happened in their town since the drug rings took over. Her family was responsible for helping keep the town safe, but now with them gone, nothing more was out there in ways of protection.<br>
<br>
<br>
Lana's stomach gave a loud growl and she knew she needed to sneak into the kitchen to get some of the leftover from the students that day. She knew the kitchen staff had prepared sandwiches and some sort of salads. That type of food was a luxury for her and she wanted some. So she watched as the woman did her rounds, and when she walked towards the opposite side, she made her way to the kitchen, almost floating above the floor, trying not to make any shuffling noises. The easiest way to get to the kitchen was down on the main floor and along the back hallway. The oddities over there were of the fortune telling type. Lana never trusted them, but always thought they were fun to play around with.<br>
<br>
<br>
Ugh. Why did they have to hire a new guard? She hated having to tip around. This museum felt more like her home then anything other place that she stayed. The guards before never noticed her, but she knew just by the way this woman went to find the noise that she made when she opened the door earlier that this wasn't going to be easy. The great thing was, was that she was only one person, and Lana knew the cameras. She walked carefully down the back hall by the trinkets that sat in glass cases. She wished she had an ability to just knock something over in the basement and have the guard go running.<br>
<br>
<br>
She heard her footsteps in the area around her. So she rushed to the kitchen to hide in the pantry area. She stood there for a few moments waiting for the noise to subside. When it did she went to the fridge and opened the door. The sandwiches were covered with plastic wrap, so she grabbed a few and then got a can of the juice at the bottom of the fridge. This was one of the perks of living here. Her hands were heavy as she tried to silently walk back to the floor above. As she got to the door she tried to open it silently and sat on the bed to eat the sandwiches she got.<br>
<br>
<br>
As she at the sandwiches she thought about ways to get a bit more freedom in the museum. The guard was new and after this evening she might not stay. Usually the new ones didn't. But there was some sort of spunk in her eyes, she might last. And if that was the case, she needed to come up with a plan to get the guard to disappear. She didn't want to hurt her at all, but maybe freak her out a bit. She had the whole museum at her disposal and she knew her way around the trinkets. Maybe they should play a little game. One that only Lana knew about. Test to see if the girl was they sticking around type. Leaving the sandwiches on the bed, she went to the closet that held the secret passage and went in. Using it she went down to the basement.<br>
<br>
<br>
There was a storage room on the bottom floor that had a bunch of trinkets that make noise. Loud enough to cause a bit of a fright. Quickly, Lana walked over to that particular storage room, and began turning them on. Some had buttons, others made noise when someone touched them on their blades. Then again there was a few that one they were moved from their position, the sounded. She moved all of them around causing a vast array of bleeps, bloops, dings, and wails. Once they all were on, Lana covering her ears went back to her passages, and went to the main floor. She waited there for a few minutes and then went to a storage room off one of the display rooms. This storage room had a steam machine, one of the first use on a locomotion. Lana turned it on, the steam whistling.<br>
<br>
<br>
She left the door open to that room so the sound got loud, and then she raced back up to her balcony spot waiting to see how the woman reacted. If she didn't take off running, then Lana knew she had to step up her game, tomorrow night.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div class="bbcode-centerblock" style="width: 90%;">It seemed like forever. She walked quietly from one room to another one in the thick silence that surrounded her. Since the fleeting sound of the building, the silence seemed to be even more stressed around her. It was thick like fog, and Eva found herself walking with heavy steps in order to break this silence that surrounded her and made her ears ring. She had lost the location of the sound of the doors or the floor quite some time ago, but she still walked around. Checking her watch, she found that she had been walking around for almost forty-five minutes. How was she supposed to make rounds every hour if it took her the hour to make the round? Quietly Eva sighed and walked through another room with paintings and statues.<br>
<br>
<br>
It was then that she heard it. At first, Eva thought that it was her imagination. At first, it was the single chime of something that caught her, but then, it increased. They were jingles and the quietest of songs. Eva turned slightly to look around, but—no—it wasn’t coming from here. Somewhere else. The sounds made her skin crawl.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i>Just go back to the office. Don’t go looking for it. No—you have to, Eva. It is your job. You told yourself that you would take this seriously.</i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
A quiet groan escaped her lips. Goosebumps ran up her body as she quietly made her way down the stairs and toward the basement. By the time Eva had made it to the first floor, she had realized that this was the place where the noises were coming from. There were a few exhibits down in the basement, but she thought that most of the basement was used for storage. Another quiet groan escaped from within her. Really, she didn’t want to be doing this.<br>
<br>
<br>
She couldn’t fight the urge. The rest of the night she had gone through the museum with the lights off. It was now, as she walked through the doors toward the basement that she reached to the wall and flicked on the lights. The whiteness made her flinch. The noises had pretty much stopped. There were still a few noises coming from below, but most of them had gone silent again. Now that she could see, she used the mag-light that was in her hand in more of a defensive manner. She didn’t want anything sneaking up on her, so she could use the heavy object if needed.<br>
<br>
<br>
There were only a few more noises coming from below now. The quiet chiming of some eerie song and a quiet voice. “Come and play with me!” There would be a pause; the music would continue. “Ring around the rosie…” The voice slowed as she came down the stairs and into the large expanse of the room. “We all fall down.” There it was. In the middle of the room was a small figure. As it stood, its mechanical parts moving and shaking, she could tell it was only a toy. Standing about half a foot tall, it was missing an arm. It’s legs seemed a little bit awkward, and the chunky figure was only half-dressed. “Ashes, ashes…” There was a sudden jerk, the head craned toward Eva, and it stopped. It’s eyes were forever cemented open and they stared straight at her. “We all fall down.”<br>
<br>
<br>
At that moment, the music stopped, and the toy no longer moved. Once again she was cast in silence with a horrific looking doll staring at her. Eva gripped the flashlight with white knuckles, ready to swing at anything that she could see that might come near her.<br>
<br>
<br>
“This is crazy” Mumbling quietly to herself, she finally gathered the courage to walk forward. She really didn’t know how the doll had gotten to the middle of the gallery. It could have walked, yes, but shouldn’t it have been back in the other room? Eva wasn’t sure, but as she looked around and spotted a small shelf that housed similar looking figures, she assumed it only could have come from there.<br>
<br>
<br>
Picking up the doll, she could feel the grit and slime on its plastic skin. Still, it stared quietly up at her. She was thanking her lucky stars that nothing made noises as she walked across the room, but she realized, as she neared the exhibit she thought it came from, that it was not where the doll had originated.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Where did you come from, little guy?” She posed the question quietly as she walked back toward the storage room. There was no way that it could have come from inside there. A door separated this room from the next. It sent a shiver down her spine as she opened the door and noticed little footprints and streaks in the dust on the floor.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Just do it.” With a deep breath, she quickly walked back into the shadows of the room, placed the doll on the shelf, and ran to the exit. It felt like a million eyes were all watching her at once. It felt to Eva as if they were waiting for her guard to be down so they could pounce. It was an odd feeling, but as the door closed, she felt a little safer again. “I just need to get out of this damn basement.” She muttered the words quietly to herself as she fiddled with the million keys on her hip. One of them had to be for this door. She read the words on each one, trying to find the key, and as she moved to try the key, a loud whistle sliced mercilessly through the air. It made Evangeline jump, she dropped the keys, and let out a quiet little squeak.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Damn it!” She didn’t bother trying to find the key again. She just scooped them up, turned around, and headed for the stairs. She thought, as she flicked the light off once more, and walked back onto the main floor of the museum, that she heard the doll again, but she ignored it, for she didn’t want to be in the basement anymore.<br>
<br>
<br>
Now, as she rushed through one room to the next, she could hear the whistle growing louder. It sounded almost like a large kettle was spouting off somewhere, but the kettle was huge. She was frightened, she had to admit that. Fear danced through her body and made her arms shake. She didn’t want this to happen how it was, but she knew that she had to keep going.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i>You can’t wuss out! Regan is counting on you, Eva. You gotta keep moving. Nothing in this place can hurt you. Just don’t break anything, keep everything calm, and you’ll be making good money. </i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
She had to keep telling herself that, or she would never be able to grow the courage to open up the door to another storage room, and walk into the room with the loud noise. The object that made the noise was right there on the other side. Some sort of steam machine for something. Really, she hardly knew what to do with it, as she didn’t know how to turn it off. Once again, it felt like there were eyes on her; it felt like something was ready to pounce on her back. Ignoring the feeling, she kept looking around until she found a small box on the machine’s side. Pushing the button inside stopped the noises slowly, as if she were suffocating the wind.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Finally…”She let out a sigh of relief as the silence came back. Rubbing her face, she could feel all of the emotions that coursed through her. Turning, she walked blindly through the door, pushed it closed with her boot, and walked silently back to the office. Maybe there would be something on the monitors that would tell her what was going on. Maybe, she could push these feelings away and have dinner too.</div><br>
