My legs went weak. I almost stumbled back. But

I knew I couldn’t make a sound. God knows
what he’d done to 402, God knows what he’d
do to me.

Then I remembered the peephole was one-
way. He couldn’t see me, even if he was looking
through it from the other side. I breathed a sigh
of relief. But I still didn’t understand what was
happening.
I cautiously peered through the peephole again.
And he was gone. Vanished. Just…gone. How
could he have moved so fast?
Everything seemed quiet again, but something
was terribly wrong. I was too scared to think
straight. I grabbed my phone. 504 had sent
several more messages:
“Yeah, I don’t think that was 402. I think it was
the 404 guy.
But we can’t be sure. What do we do? It’s the
middle of the night.

Should I try calling 4029”
I quickly replied: “Don’t call him! Have you called him yet?”

Honestly, I was mostly worried about myself. If 404 had 402’s phone, calling him would expose us. Especially after what just happened at my door, 404 must have suspected something. But I hadn’t posted in the group, hadn’t made a sound. Maybe that’s why he hadn’t tried to get
- in.
But if he knew… I was closest to him. I’d be the easiest target. I’d just moved in, and I had no idea how secure my door really was.
Thankfully, 504 replied:
“No, I haven’t called yet. Why? Wouldn’t that be
the quickest way to confirm if it’s really him?
Besides, he’s definitely still awake. I can’t sleep
until I know who sent that message.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. Good. He hadn’t
called y yet, I was about to call the cops myself. But I needed to warn 504 first…
