I knocked again. I hate having to barge into people's homes, but sadly I had a job to do. I turned the knob, surprised that it had easily let me in.

"Hello!" I shouted, looking around. No one responded. "Anyone home?"

I heard a thud above me. I quietly climbed the carpeted stairs, waiting to hear another sound.

At the top of the dark staircase, I waited a moment, before hearing a sob. The second door on the left.

I rushed inside. He was curled into a corner, shaking and pale.

"Oh god!" He screeched, attempting to go further back. "No! Just me alone!"

I walked into the room closing the door behind me. With each step, he was more trapped.

"I'm sorry." I took the knife out of my pocket. "But you know I can't do that."
