2020-10-11 18:22:35The last two days had passed by in a flash. Now it was finally, on the other hand, unfortunately, the third day before Lany would start her journey. Unfortunately, because somehow she couldn't get rid of the feeling that she had forgotten important things that she should have prepared for her absence. Which was total nonsense, of course, but that was Lany - perfectionist to the bitter end.
On the other hand, she was already very happy and could hardly look forward to the end of the day. Then she would finally be FREE and could do what she wanted. And that was her planned trip after all.
Everything was prepared for the start. Their suitcases including all the necessary papers had been packed since yesterday and were just waiting to be picked up.
So Lany dreamed for a while in her chic office and was already imagining her adventures that she would soon experience. Of course she hadn't told her family about her vacation. Why also? They just insisted that this trip was nonsense and that she should take a long detour home to visit the family again.
But certainly the main reason, like every time, would have been that Uncle Stan had broken his leg or some other part of his body and so she could and should have helped on the farm.
So don't say anything and enjoy the freedom. Maybe she'd give her a quick call later when she got to her vacation spot and right before she set off for the jungle. But really just maybe.
Lany, so lost in her reverie, didn't even notice that she was no longer alone in her office and so she suddenly jumped up when she heard Scott's voice. She was just barely able to restrain herself not to tip over her office chair completely.
“Have you heard of knocking before, Scott? Apparently not, because I didn't say “Come in” as you should have noticed! ”Lany was so angry and couldn't help but sniff at him.
Scott didn't seem to mind that. He was standing right in front of her desk and had a big and, as always, smeary grin stapled on his face. "Hi, Lany! I thought I heard an "in". That's the only reason I came in! ”Scott said innocently.
Pah, who and innocent? Certainly not! Lany knew better, after all. But since she only had to stay a few hours in this company, she pulled herself together and asked him what he wanted now.
“I just wanted to say goodbye to my favorite team leader and wish you a nice vacation. If you had told me earlier when you were going to take your vacation, I could have submitted some and we could have had a few nice days together. But unfortunately it is no longer possible, my dear! "
And the last one sounded so sharp and pointed from Scott's mouth that an ice-cold shiver ran down Lany's spine. How the situation with Scott turned out was not right. Maybe he should seek medical help after all.
“Thanks, Scott. I will surely enjoy my vacation and the distance to EVERYTHING here! ”Lany put as much sharpness in her words as she could without collapsing her cool facade and hoped that Scott would give him the hint this once very large fence post would understand.
"If you would excuse me now, please. I still have a few important phone calls to make before I leave. ”With that, Lany turned back to her computer and phone, and then quite demonstratively dialed the first number.
Scott stood there a moment longer, staring at her, but when she started the first conversation he turned and left the office.
The day was finally over. All important discussions were held, all preparations made and now nothing stopped them on their way to the airport. Lany walked into the company's parking garage where she'd parked her fully loaded car that morning. From a distance she could see that something was different about her car.
When she approached him, she could see what it was. A large envelope had been taped to the front of the bonnet addressed to LANY BRISCOTT. She looked around in amazement, but no one could be seen or heard.
Lany took the envelope off and got into her car. She wanted to open it later at the airport and not let it stop her now, especially since she was in this creepy parking garage.
As she pulled out of the parking garage, she saw Scott standing on the corner and winking at her before she was on the direct route to the airport. This man was starting to scare her a little.
At the airport she still had a little time before her plane would take off and so she took this ominous envelope. It was fine paper - not off the shelf, so to speak, and Lany wondered who this letter was from. Just as she was about to open it, her flight was announced. So Lany put the envelope back in her pocket and set off.

The Darkness In Him Exceptions
Everything was calm again. Well, insofar as one could speak of calm in a jungle. A couple of monkeys scurried by right next to Warren's house and other animals relaxed more and more. The danger was over - for now.Lany sat very still and listened for the noises that were so completely different and yet somehow familiar. She just didn't know why. Also, she only realized now that she was still clinging to Warren. She hadn't felt so safe with anyone since early childhood. And either Warren was asleep by now or he was enjoying the quiet get-together with her too. She couldn't really imagine the latter, however. Because it was only too obvious that he hadn't wanted to take her with him in the first place. It was only because Rosa had told him, no, even ordered, that she was here now.Lany still couldn't believe what almost happened. Of course it was dangerous in the jungle. She had already realized that when she booked the trip. But then being co
The Darkness In Him Gaze
While Rosa was finishing her report, one of the two always listened for the noises outside the bar. Not that this stranger secretly overheard her and found out that Rosa knew more than she had told him. But nothing could be heard. He really seemed to have gone to his quarters. Better for him - they decided.It was only early morning when he woke up in that shabby little room, in the shabbier bed. But what do you not endure to achieve your goal? The first rays of sun fell through the dirty window and he decided that he had waited enough. True to the motto: Only the early bird catches the worm, he dressed and went down to the reception. He hoped that there would at least be breakfast here that wouldn't give you one or the other unpleasant bowel disease.When he got downstairs, he was surprised that someone was actually already working here. A young woman stood behind the counter, leafing through a tattered newspaper. He asked for breakfast and
The Darkness In Him Stalker
He headed straight for her. His hunger had not yet been satisfied. But he had to make sure the young woman was okay. He'd already suspected it wasn't a good idea to leave her here all alone. And he really hadn't moved very far. Warren came to a stop right in front of his bed, in front of Lany. She seemed to be in shock because she did not move, but sat upright and still breathed - "Thank gods" -. That was really close. He should have been fucking careful. But this wouldn't have happened in the first place if he hadn't taken her with him. "What a damn crap !!!"Warren didn't even dare touch Lany, let alone speak to her. He just stood motionless in front of her for a while. When she still didn't move, he tried a little push. "Ms. Briscott? ... Lany? Are you all right? ”Hm, somehow he had just experienced it recently. And again she began to move very slowly and finally looked in his direction."Warren? Warren, what just happened? Lany's v
The Darkness In Him The danger
There was no sound as the huge big cat moved smoothly through the underbrush. Everyone in her immediate area knew she was hunting. All of their potential victims had retired to their hiding places so as not to end up as their snack.Quietly and very skillfully, four huge black paws made their way through the forest. In between the panther stopped and listened. It was a magnificent animal. Bigger and stronger than its other kind and as black as the blackest night. Anyone who caught such an animal among all the poachers would have cared for for his life. But until now no one had ever caught him. The big cat didn't miss the slightest sound. High above him he heard the monkeys scurrying softly through the branches. Shortly before him, a little mouse ran quickly into its cave. And again and again a very special scent rose in his nose, but he seemed to feel that he was not allowed to follow it. Therefore, he moved purposefully in the opposite direction.
The Darkness In Him Tired
Lany was getting more and more tired. She stumbled the whole time and fell every few meters over the numerous roots that so "helpful" stretched out of the ground towards her. She didn't even know how long they had been wandering through this forest and still they hadn't reached Warren's camp. Maybe he was lost? After all, she couldn't put one foot in front of the others and just turned over from exhaustion.“Oh man, I was just missing that. Such a crap. Why couldn't I just leave her with Rosa. Then this guy would have found her! So what? What is it to me? In any case, I would have finally had my peace. But no, I had to play the great hero. I really had to take her with me, and now? ”While Warren shouldered the exhausted Lany, he mumbled to himself and didn’t let any good hair on himself. It annoyed him too much and he just couldn't understand what had made him want to help this woman and finally take her with him.She was s
The Darkness In Him His arms
Finally Lany looked in the direction of the door and saw that Rosa had just entered the hallway and bolted the door. She came up to them both and looked worriedly at Lany. Then Rosa turned her gaze to Warren alone for a moment and then, without saying a word, moved to the other, locked door to open it. After entering the small room herself, she waved to Warren and Lany and pointed to another door in that room. Warren gave her a briefly startled expression, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Maybe Lany was just wrong about that. Rosa whispered something to Warren before letting them both outside through the door just shown.They seemed to be at the back of the building now and it seemed that Warren knew exactly what to do. Lany followed without resisting. They were moving fast so Lany could barely keep up with him. And since it was already dark, Warren was careful to keep them in the shadows. Nobody should discover them, nobody should even suspect that they had jus
