Chapter two of The Zookeeper’s Cage
Dear Jaiden,
It’s me again. Did you get my first letter? I never got a reply. Are you just surprised that I know what you did? Scared that I’ll report you? Well, I have to put you through hell before I report you. No need to worry. But if I don’t get a reply, I’ll have to come find you. And trust me, you don’t want that. Anyway, on with the story. I’ll continue till you remember just what you did, you sick demon.
The next one to go was my best friend Lillian. She went crazy and got sent away. Now, you didn’t say anything, but I knew it was all your fault. You had made her go crazy. Over and over, she kept muttering one word:
“Zookeeper.” And that’s what you are, the zookeeper. You are the zookeeper, locking us in cages to be taunted by everyone. I know what you did, Jaiden. I know everything.
The zookeeper.
That’s you, that’s you, and I’m gonna find you, don’t you worry! Don’t worry, JJ. You and I, we are going to meet. Soon.
Answer this letter, Jaiden, or else…
Well, you know what’s coming.
You know what’s coming for you.
Can you taste it in the air?
The animals are rising up, against you, their zookeeper.
We are coming.
Sincerely, Demetrie Guetta
