Chapter 9 - Chap: 9 Gut feelings

**bang**

A hole straight through the head, and four more to the chest. The winds howling, the stars shining.

One by one, all the forces came. Seizing the construction building and then proceedingly towards the entrance. In the command to fight and rescue the ones in help.

Sir.Robert eye to eye expressing towards the shape-shifting, transforming entity; "I knew there was something fishy about you you know!"

"Ahghghhh!", entity deformed body struggling to heal itself while trying to keep its identity covered.

Picking up the deformed body the detective clearly states; "You've been caught! There is no need to keep your identity covered".

Barely able to utter a single word, the zombie like monster asks; "H.. ho.. how!?"

Smirks at the entity Robert on his way to tell the mistakes it had made.

"It was fairly simple, since when I got here and did my research, was there never a clue found by you when I could clearly see them with the naked eye".

"The footprints, you always trying to push me back to the start, slowly and slowly removing all the clues!"

"Well, no more!" , Confidently said Robert.

In the last few moments with the entity Robert spoke his gratitude towards his old friend, knowing that this will indefinitely the last time atleast to see him face to face!

Sir.Robert: "Sigh... God, you really love to play with people's feeling don't ya?"

Deep breather... "well so be it!!"

**bang bang bang**

Sir.Robert could bring himself to completely end the entity impersonating bob, he shot three bullets on its chest, since not being able to bring himself to shoot at his forehead.

Gulp... cold breather, the moon shining brighter. Looking up at the night sky Robert, spots a could looking unusually like a close friend... cluckes Robert. Delivering the following line.

"I hope you're in peace now, Bob!"

Chuckles again; "God, what am I doing!"

Lighting a cigarette to ease out his stress.

Taking a sip one by one.

Little little tears, slowly slowly filled his cheeks.

Proceedingly rubbing his hands on his face.

"Still the old me I guess!"

To avoid any pain, Robert switches his mind onto the building upfront.

"Sigh.. I should call to check in on the others!" , Sir.Robert.

Gently pulls out phone out of his pocket, then proceeded to call on the other men in the building...

First call... missed, second one... missed aswell, third? Nope missed again!

Fourth, fifth time the try? Nope again!

Sixth please pick up!! Nope again!?

The silence broke, Robert panicking not knowing why the men are attending the call!?

"No way!?" , spoke Robert to himself.

"Why aren't they picking up!?"

"This... this.. This isn't right??"

Suddenly a hord of crows could be seen flying out of the building as if something was awoke or potentially dangerous to them.

Slow cold breaths... thinking what could've happened in there.

The moon hides itself by the clouds!

Robert now stuck with only two choices..

Run or fight.

"Damn, this was like a nostalgic roller coaster!" , Smirks!

"Fight it is!"

Walks onto the building slowly to check in on the others.

What is in store for Robert?

Has he really moved on from his past!?

"Sigh.. this is about to be a really really ruff ride!"

The road to the building felt like a highway. Whispers on his head, his body pulling away, almost never really forgetting its trauma.

"Stop!"

Stuck in one place up infront, a version of Robert stood.

"Stop now, you can always go back!"

This wasn't blasphemy, it was Roberts mind trying to stop him!

"I don't care". "I really don't".

Reasons out the figure, "But.. you could live mor... ", getting cut off by Robert.

"I really don't care".

"Just let me go!"

"I have in fact lived enough!"

Sigh.. the figure reaches out to hug.

While hugging whispering in Roberts ear; "Are you satisfied with your life?"

The face pale. The sight saddened.

"To be honest, after that incident. I have never felt anything satisfactory".

"Not once!", he said.

Figure: "What about your kids!"

To which Robert answer with; "if run away now, I won't be able to forgive myself".

The figure being the inter infestation of Roberts thoughts listens.

Freeing him of the pull.

"Just make sure not to regret this".

Smiles Robert; "I won't"

After being freed from his own graspes Robert continues onto the building in search for the army men, and the missing people reported.

"Sigh.. I guess, there is no going back!"

Looks back at the entity. Personated as bob.

"This is my goodbyes!"

"Bob!"

Refueling his gun to get back into action!!

"Come on zombies!! Where ya at?"

With beaming confidence, and screaming hope, entering the building with his gun pointed.

The room dark, like no light to be found.

The smell horrible and disgusting.

Like a 100 mens blood scattered over everywhere.

In an instant, the door somehow in some way closes, like if it was made out of flesh and bones!

A labyrinth formed out of nothing up infront!

"What is this sorcerer!!?"

Realising he's come across something very mysterious and strange.

Not being able to move back, decides Robert to progress forwards!
