Killer Apartment

Chapter 1

Quinn rushed around his flat. It was his first day at work, and he was already late.
The old building creaked as he moved—it was small, had no lift, and felt like it might fall apart any day.
Quinn
Quinn
“Ahh, I’m late!
He said, grabbing his bag
Quinn
Quinn
“I’ll work hard to fix my life and make everything better.”
He ran out the door and down the stairs.
As he turned a corner, he bumped into someone.
.
.
The person’s bag fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Kaiza
Kaiza
“Watch it,”
The kaiza said sharply, staring at Quinn.
Quinn
Quinn
Sorry
Quinn bent down to pick up the bag
Quinn
Quinn
I didn’t mean to
Kaiza
Kaiza
“Where are you going?
The kaiza asked coldly
Quinn
Quinn
“I’m late for my—”
Kaiza
Kaiza
“Pick it up,”
kaiza interrupted.
Quinn handed over the bag, feeling awkward.
Quinn
Quinn
Sorry again. I really didn’t mean to—”
Kaiza didn’t respond.
He took the bag and walked away without a word.
Quinn
Quinn
Great start to the day
Quinn muttered as he hurried down the stairs.

Chapter 2

At work, Quinn sat at his desk while his colleagues chatted loudly about the share market.
The topic didn’t interest him, and the noise made him feel uneasy.
He decided to step outside for some fresh air.
..
..
The balcony was quiet, and the cool breeze was refreshing.
He leaned against the railing, trying to calm his nerves.
Unknown
Unknown
Hey, what’s up?
Unknown
Unknown
Feeling tired
Cheerful voice called out.
Quinn turned to see a girl standing nearby.
She had a playful smile and seemed eager to chat.
Quinn
Quinn
Not really
He replied, keeping his tone neutral.
Izumi
Izumi
Looks like you are
She said, stepping closer
Izumi
Izumi
What’s going on? Work stress?”
Quinn
Quinn
Nothing like that
Quinn
Quinn
I’m just settling into a new flat.
Quinn
Quinn
Busy unpacking.
Izumi
Izumi
Oh, new in town? That’s exciting,”
She said, leaning slightly toward him. “
Izumi
Izumi
Need any help?
Quinn
Quinn
Nah, it’s fine,
Quinn
Quinn
I’ll handle it myself
Izumi
Izumi
You sure?
Izumi
Izumi
I’m pretty good at organising.
Quinn gave her a polite smile.
Quinn
Quinn
Thanks, but I’ll manage. I’ve got to finish unpacking fast.
Quinn
Quinn
My stuff’s everywhere.
Izumi
Izumi
Well, if you change your mind
She said with a wink,
Izumi
Izumi
Just let me know.”
Quinn nodded and excused himself, feeling like the conversation was getting too personal.

Later, on the metro ride home, Quinn couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching him.
He glanced around but didn’t see anything unusual.
Quinn
Quinn
( Probably just my imagination )
When he reached his flat and unlocked the door, he stopped in his tracks.
Everything was spotless. The boxes were unpacked, and all his belongings were perfectly organised.
Quinn
Quinn
What the...?
Confused, he went downstairs to the building owner.
Quinn
Quinn
Did you… clean my apartment or something?
The owner looked up from his newspaper.
Building Owner
Building Owner
Oh, no. Your neighbour asked me to do it. Said you’d be too busy to unpack.
Quinn
Quinn
My neighbour?
Building Owner
Building Owner
Yes, the lad next door,
Building Owner
Building Owner
He seemed pretty serious about it.
Quinn stood there, puzzled. He hadn’t even spoken to his neighbour yet.

Chapter 3

Quinn stood outside his neighbour’s door, knocking firmly.
There was no response.
He knocked again, harder this time. Still nothing.
Frustrated, he almost shouted,
Quinn
Quinn
Hey! Are you in there?
Silence.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning quickly, he saw his neighbour standing there, calm and unbothered.
Quinn
Quinn
You!
Quinn
Quinn
Why did you unpack my stuff?
Kaiza
Kaiza
Because you needed it
Quinn
Quinn
Needed it? Did I ask you for help?”
Kaiza
Kaiza
No,
Kaiza said casually, leaning against the wall.
Kaiza
Kaiza
But as your neighbour, it’s my duty to help.
Quinn’s jaw tightened.
Quinn
Quinn
I don’t need your help
Kaiza
Kaiza
Fair enough
Kaiza
Kaiza
I see
Quinn glared at him
Quinn
Quinn
You didn’t even apologise!
Kaiza
Kaiza
Do you need one?
Quinn
Quinn
What are you?
Kaiza
Kaiza
Someone who helps,
Quinn
Quinn
Don’t touch my stuff again
Quinn
Quinn
That’s your last warning
Kaiza
Kaiza
As you say
With a small smile.
He turned and walked into his apartment, shutting the door behind him without another word.
Quinn stood there for a moment, fuming.
Quinn
Quinn
“Unbelievable,
he muttered before heading back to his flat
