"What's up!" Tracy Morgan said to the viewers.
"Time for a brand new, heart jumping episode of scare tactics!" Tracy sat down on the chair.
"Today we have the Brit Arthur, he got a job as an assistant for a crime investigation, but his ex-brother wants to teach him a lesson"
The TV show showed a bit of Alfred, his ex-brother.
"Hi, I wanted to put Artie on scare tactics because he always used to scare me when I was a kid and he is hard to scare."
Alfred smirked.
"I hope this will scare him!"
Back to Tracy Morgan.
"Not sure how they are ex-brothers but will make the accomplice`s ex-anything!"
Tracy looked intensely to the camera.
"Beware Arthur, you will either see a ghost, a vampire or an ax crazy Scotsman."
"
The little apartment wasn't far away. Arthur and the inspector were going in to check out what happened.
"Thanks for helping out on this investigation" The inspector said to Arthur.
"No problem" Arthur, the victim, said.
"It's weird not having my usual partner around; I wonder where he could have gone"
"You don't know?" Arthur asked.
"No, it's like he have disappeared" The inspector took a deep breath "Enough about that, lets investigate"
As they opened the door they went in to investigate. The apartment was dark, cold and creepy in many ways. Arthur could feel a bit of fear enter him. He remembered that whenever he saw those stupid horror movies with Alfred he would never feel fear because he knew that it was just a movie and nothing in it were real, it all were just acting. However, being in this apartment felt like being in a real life horror movie.
"Do you see anything suspicious?" The inspector asked.
"No, nothing" Arthur answered.
The case was about a group of people that were missing. According to a source it was said that they would find some clues in this apartment. Arthur wasn't really sure what he was looking for. Was it possible that they could find one of the persons in this place? Arthur went in to a room with a heap of leaves on the floor.
"What in the world?" Arthur thought.
The room didn't have any window, so how and why was it leaves inside? Arthur came closer to the leaves to see if it was something suspicious. Arthur rummaged the leaves, tried to look after something. After shoving away a lot of leaves, Arthur saw something. He poked the thing gently.
"Oh my bloody God!" Arthur exclaimed.
A hand came out from the leaves and grabbed his wrist! The hand, heck, the whole arm was covered with cuts, bruises and blood.
"What happened, what is going on?" The inspector came in.
Arthur felt there was no need to explain, the situation explained itself.
"Help me!" A young woman came out of the leaf heap, dragging Arthur down to her level.
"What happened?" Arthur asked her, whimpering as the woman grabbed his shoulders hard.
The woman was breathing fast and she dug her nails deeper in Arthurs shoulders, making him almost scream in pain.
"He has killed many of them and now he will kill me!"
"Who? Who is going to kill you?" The inspector sat down next to Arthur, tried to make the woman let go of Arthur's shoulders.
"I don't know who he is, he wears a skirt, smokes like a chimney and his hair is so red!"
Arthur's eyes widened at the description. However, some corrections were needed. It is not a skirt, but a kilt, he does not smoke like a chimney, he smokes like a whole factory! And yes, his hair is red, red as his temper.
"No, it cannot be…" Arthur mumbled.
The next thing that happened was fierce knocking from the closet that was in front of them. All three jumped and now the woman grabbed the inspector. The knocking got louder, the closet door was ripped off and suddenly lots of people came out of the closet. It was a closet door with people locked up inside! How big was this closet? The people looked pretty messed up. They were dirty, had a terrified expression on their faces, some had cuts and bruises, like the found woman, and some were unconscious.
"He is here!" The woman said and had her arms around the inspector's neck, almost choking him.
But the inspector didn't die from choking; suddenly a bullet was shot in his chest! The woman's face got covered with his blood and she let go of his neck, screaming in horror.
The shooting continued. The rest of the people from the closet got shot and then the woman got shot in the back as she ran away, trying to escape. Arthur was the only one remaining. He looked around wide eyed and in shock. Was Arthur some sort of the final prize for the killer?
"Please, don't let it be you" Arthur said and sat down in some sort of a praying position.
"Oh? Haven't ye missed me, wee brother?"
Suddenly Arthur could smell cigarette smoke and feel a scary aura. It was not Russia, but Arthur wanted it to be Russia rather than the one who was coming. Arthur turned his head and saw the person he feared the most: His big brother, Allistor.
"
Allistor came in through the door behind Arthur. He carried a huge hunter gun and had a smug smirk on his face. Now Arthur really wished it all was just a nightmare. He knew that Allistor always was a wild one, but he never imagined him to be an insane killer!
"Any last words, Artie?" Allistor pointed the gun at him.
It all was over for him now. Arthur could not run away, he had to share the same faith as the people lying around him on the floor.
"Please don't do this…" Arthur said in a cry chocked voice.
"Why? Are ye scared?" Allistor put his finger on the trigger.
Arthur bit his lip, trying not to cry. If he was going to die, he would not die crying.
"Are ye scared?!" Allistor yelled, making echo in the room.
"I am terrified" Arthur said.
"Ye should not be…." Allistor smirked again.
Arthur looked at him with a slight confused face.
"…..cause you are on scare tactics!" The inspector sat up.
Arthur looked around. The persons who were shot sat up and showed no sign of pain or injury.
"Alfred set you up" Allistor put the gun to his shoulder.
Arthur was astonished. There were various feelings that build up in him right now; anger, humiliation, remained fear, shock and some other feelings he wasn't sure what it was. Shortly after finding out he was just a victim in a TV show, finding out it all was just a joke, he remained sitting on the floor panting. Alfred came in to the room and gave Arthur a bottle of water.
"I really got you now, didn't I? "Alfred said, in a proud tone.
Arthur took a sip of water and then looked at him with a death glare.
"You bloody git!" Arthur yelled at him.
Arthur got up and stomped toward the door.
"
Back to Tracy Morgan.
"Wow, there guys really needs family therapy!"
Then the show was over.
Arthur got really angry at this. How long will he stay that way? Wait for the next chapter to find out:)
