Chapter 20: The encounter with the mad rapist

Just as they expected, thanks to their brilliant plan, business started moving really fast. They got more customers and got extremely busy each day.

Quinella would get back from school on time to join the others at work. Thanks to their lunch break, they still had energy to work till late.

"We've got a delivery order." Todd said, dropping the telephone.

"But Justin's not available." Carly pointed out and Krystal looked up. She thought for a while.

"I'll do it!" She said and untied her apron. She took a cap with the shop's logo and put it on. "Let him know the address and come pick me up instead." She said and took the box.

The delivery box was filled with cupcakes and seven donuts and the address was an office building, so she headed out.

Carly picked up her phone and called Justin.

"Is there a delivery?" Justin asked.

"Yeah but Krystal's taking care of it. You'll just have to head for the address right away and pick her up. I'll send you the address." Carly said and cut the call. She texted the address over to him and as soon as he got it, headed for the coordinates.

Krystal joyfully entered the building and saw the receptionist. She walked over to her and said,

"Hi, I've got a delivery to the chief manager on the 7th floor."

The receptionist smiled at her and pointed at the elevator.

"Just take the elevator, you'll get to the 7th floor faster." She said,

"Thank you!" Krystal smiled at her and headed for the elevator. She pushed the button and waited for a while before the doors opened. She got in and took out her phone glancing at the trending topics. She didn't mean to steal but the Wi-Fi in places like this was super.

Krystal had her mind on her phone and didn't notice the receptionist apprehending a man. She only looked up when the elevator doors were closing.

The man roughly stopped the doors from closing with his hands and got in. She glanced at the background and saw that the receptionist had called for security. She looked up at this husky man that was backing her. She didn't know what was going on but it did spell trouble. With quick thoughts, she had already started dialing Felix's phone number.

Felix looked at his phone to see Krystal calling. He thought, wasn't she at the shop? Why was she calling his line? He picked up the phone and walked out.

"Where's Krystal?" He asked, wiping his hands clean.

"She went to deliver a package, why?" Todd answered.

"It's just 11, why isn't Justin at work?" He asked and answered the call. "Hello?"

Krystal breathed heavily, she was already feeling scared. The air around this husky man was morbid. Then all of a sudden, he punched the stop button, stopping the elevator.

"Felix." She said with a soft tone but it had fear all over it

"Krystal, what's wrong? Why do you sound like that?" He asked out loud, catching everyone's attention.

"There...there's a man. A...and..." Before she could say any other thing, he turned so fast that it gave her a fright. "Ah!" She screamed and her phone fell as well as the box in her hand. She covered her mouth with both hands not wanting to make a sound.

"Krystal, what happened? Krystal! Krystal!" He called but there was no answer. He got worried. Then on the news came a report.

"This just states that a mad rapist has escaped from psychiatric prison. He's presently at Kaasheng's group of companies trapped in an elevator with a lady who happens to be a delivery girl. Police and armed forces are outside trying to help this lady before it is too late."

Felix's eyes went bloodshot. He took off his apron and dashed out before anyone could say a thing. He got on the delivery bike (which they bought recently) and rode off at full speed.

Justin heard this as well. Not waiting for the police to do anything, he found his way to the second floor.

Inside the elevator, Krystal still had her hands covering her mouth as she stared in fright at this man who was drooling over her. He had a massive amount of scars on his face, rough beard and messy hair. She couldn't help but point out that this guy was a criminal.

"Heehee, pretty girl, wanna have fun with me?" He advanced towards her and she moved backwards until there was no space.

In this big elevator, where 20 people can contain, Krystal felt like the space had closed in on her as the mad rapist advanced his steps towards her.

"Come, play with me for a while. I promise to be nice." He licked his lips in a disgusting way.
