CHAPTER 27 - mysterious man.

After Asha and Sasha had their discussion and making things right between them. They both grabbed hands and held them together to represent the unbreakable bond between them. They both began to walk together hand in hand towards the cafeteria to grab some food. Once they had arrived into the cafeteria Asha slowly made her way through the line for a simple sandwich and a milk. Sasha, on the other hand, wanted a bowl of ramen noodles and milk. By the time they received their food and walked over to a table. They only had 27 minutes to eat before the cafeteria closed down until dinner time. The girls began to eat together in silence.

Now, just a few minutes after the girls began to eat, an unusual man dressed in pure black clothing with his face tilted away making it hard to see his identity came Into the cafeteria and grabbed a sandwich and water then sat down at the same table Asha and Sasha sat down at. However, he was on the other side of the table. He began to eat, released the kind of creeper vibe. Sasha and Asha began to watch this man cautiously and began to feel uncomfortable. "Are you done? I'm done.." Asha quickly whispered to Sasha. "Yeah, let's go," Sasha replied. They both quickly gathered up their trash and walked to the trash cans and tossed the trash. Immediately leaving the cafeteria as fast as possible. "Did you feel something odd about the one guy?." Asha asked Sasha as she began to feel highly uncomfortable. "Yeah, kinda suspicious, let's inform chandler.," Sasha suggested. Asha nodded as she walked beside Sasha. They became to walk faster.

The mysterious man in black clothing left the cafeteria shortly after the girls had left. He began to follow both of them silently. Asha glanced back and noticed the man as she began to feel unsafe and highly Alarmed. Her body began to shake as her mind kept drifting back to the past with Matt. "Sasha." Asha nervously spoke while squeezing her hand. "Asha, it's ok. As long as we stick together we will be fine." Sasha told Asha to try and comfort Asha. Seconds later the mysterious man had sped up walking and got closer behind them. Sasha's and Asha's hearts began to beat faster. Sasha pulled Asha's hand and began to jog. Moments later the girls both arrived Infront of Chandler's office door. Sasha knocked frantically and tried to turn the knob however the door was locked and he went in his office. Asha looked back and looked around frantically as she couldn't see the mysterious man anywhere. Asha began to cry from feeling overwhelmed. "Everything will be ok Asha." Sasha softly as she touched her shoulder gently and let out a small smile. Asha nodded but kept looking around nervously.

Sasha then took a key card and suddenly slid it into the door crack and unlocked his door. As Sasha pushed the door open and pulled Asha along with her into chandler's office. "How the heck did you do that?." Asha asked in amazement. "I learned how to break into locked rooms on my own. I figured it would come in handy. And look, it did.." Sasha replied as she quickly closed the door and locked it. "We should be safe in here until chandler returns at least," Sasha told Asha.

"But wouldn't we be ok to just find other employees and inform them there's someone suspicious around?" Asha asked her. "Well maybe, but I don't trust anyone right now. I'd rather just wait for chandler and tell him. Besides I can't let you out of my sight.." Sasha replied seriously. Asha sighed and sat down. She began to glance over and notice all his photos. She smiled softly and she laid back into the chair and closed her eyes from feeling fatigued. Sasha stayed by the door peeking out the window here and there. About an hour later Asha had fallen asleep while Sasha was still awake keeping watch. After she had taken another short quick peek she saw the man dressed in pure black. The man was walking directly towards the office. Her eyes widened as she suddenly backed up. "Asha wake up. We need to get inside that cabinet right now, That man he's coming." Sasha spoke while she opened one of his cabinets they could fit into. Asha woke up immediately and ran over and climbed inside. Sasha suddenly closed the door with Asha inside and suddenly locked her inside. Asha went wide-eyed and confused. "Sasha what are you doing? There's room to get in here!" Sasha sighed and quietly replied. "I know but chandler cares for you and can't deal with you missing again. We can't lock from the inside. Just stay quiet." She replied as she hid inside his small coat closet. The girls shortly heard the door unlocking. Asha covered her mouth with her hands to mute herself. She began to feel nervous and scared and began to shake. Tears left her eyes worried about Sasha and couldn't believe Sasha would sacrifice her safety to keep her safe. Sasha gripped onto a small pole she pulled off the closet wall. She closed her eyes and focused. The office door opened and a man entered. Asha and Sasha could hear footsteps and someone looking around the room. Sasha could see the office light turn on from under the door. She gripped the pull and got ready to attack. The mysterious man could be heard trying to open the cabinet door. "Hmmm, strange." The man spoke as he couldn't open the cabinet door. Asha kept her hand over her mouth trying to keep silent. Her body shook rapidly praying the man would leave or chandler would arrive.

Shortly after. Now the man suddenly walked over to the coat closer and grabbed the knob. The man twisted the knob and opened the door. Sasha immediately took action and shut her eyes and swing the metal bar and jumped out towards the man. "get away from me." Sasha yelled. The man dodged and grabbed the metal bar and yanked the bar from her hand while he moved over to the side completely dodging the sudden attempted attack. Sasha then lost all focus and tripped over her foot and began to fall face forward.

The man grabbed Sasha's arm yanking her back up and placed his hand over her mouth. And wrapped his other hand that held the bar around her arms and chest. "shhh." the man whispered Into Sashas ear. Sasha didn't fight back as tears fell and shut her eyes. "where's Asha?" the mysterious man asked. However, Sasha refused to reply.

Asha began to tremble hearing everything that is happening. Her hands stayed cupped over her mouth as tears fell from her eyes. She didn't want Sasha to go through what she went through. She began to contemplate what she should do, continue to stay silent or reveal her location. The mysterious man pressed into Sasha more and started to push her towards the door. " I need you to act normal, understand?" she whispered to Sasha sternly. Sasha nodded as she began to willingly take a few steps forward.
