Chapter 70

He squatted "Hey, don't be like me when you grow up," he said and stood aright.

The kid looked at him with bright blue eyes "can you help me, sir?" she requested, Jo was stunned, he wasn't expecting a response from her.

He bent over "what is it, kid, I will help you with it, just mention" Jo agreed instantly.

"I can't seem to find my sister" the little girl complained, bitterly, her big bright eyes were becoming watering.

Joseph realizing the impeding action inhaled sharply, he stretch forth his hand "let's go and find her together" he volunteered, the little child hesitated for some time, sensing that Joseph was harmless, she took his big finger in her little palm.

The shadow moved forward, and he quickly stepped backwards, the terrifying aura emanating from the person standing in the shadow made him panic.

He heard faint footfalls as the man strode casually towards him, his back hit the door and the sound of the collision startled him.

The figure lurking in the dark terrified him and his mind became blank on what to do "it is me, Jeff" the familiar voice came again.

He became apprehensive "let me out!" he screamed slamming his fists at the iron door, suddenly the figure lurking in the dark laughed hysterically, his laughter sounded like that of the devil, making survival instinct surged into Jeff.
