FINNEY USED THE dirt from the hole they dug up to pack the inside of the phone. he tapped it against his palm to even out the dirt inside- the added weight of the dirt definitely gave it some heft.

he looked over to see jaelin silently tying the wire ( that paperboy hid ) across the entrance of the hallway. once she finished tying the last knot and made sure the wire was straightened, she stood up and dusted herself off.

finney then stood up after her and went back to the main room, carefully stepping over the wire. jaelin gazed at the detached phone in his hand with a frown, still trying to calm down from the breakdown earlier.

finney held her close to him and said reassuring words to her every now and again, up until jaelin was able to breath steadily and stop crying. after that, she apologised many times for her behaviour, and every response she got from finney was: "you shouldn't be sorry."

she was very, very lucky that she had finney here with her.

the two determined teens both looked at the window outside: it was raining heavily. it was the perfect weather to describe how both of them were feeling.

they just hoped that this last try worked.

FINNEY AND JAELIN waited for the grabber to come down any minute. if their theory was correct, then after naughty boy, the grabber would most likely come and kill them both.

once the lights in the basement turned on, finney and jaelin shared a look before the dirty blond went over to the phone box. he placed his bloody rocket on top of the black box and picked up the phone, ready to use it when needed.

the two faced the door, ready to face the masked man they were fed up of being familiar with. finney clutched the phone in his hands whilst jaelin held onto her necklace pendent, more than ready to kick his ass.

they watched as the door slowly opened. however, their stances faltered almost as quickly as the guy in the doorway's mouth dropped.

"no fucking way.." the grabber's brother, max, was stood by the doorway with a shocked expression. jaelin and finney looked at each other in surprise before focusing back on the man.

"jaelin?!- what are you- holy shit, the missing blake kid! i knew that he was hiding something from me down here Holy Mary mother of God!"

"please, help- can- can you call my dad? call my sister?!" finney stepped forwards along with jaelin.

"can you call my mother? please, help us max!" jaelin had a sense of hope and relief, something she hadn't felt in a long time.

"oh listen, don't worry, he's not here he- he had to go into work! i'm max, man, stay- stay calm." he stammered on his words, still shocked that his own brother was the grabber.

"no wonder he was freaking out this morning.." max put the pieces together whilst jaelin and finney were on the edge of their toes, wanting to skip the chatter and get out.

max's breathing increased as his eyes widened. jaelin could definitely tell he was high, or at least under some form of influence.

jaelin grimaced, how high is this man for him to not realise his brother is the literal murderer?!

"hey! hey, do you wanna know the story about how i found you guys!?" max insisted. both teens shook their heads in reply.

"hey, no no no, don't worry about it!" he opened the door fully, revealing the rest of the staircase. though, they were met with something- or rather, someone too familiar.

both jaelin and finney's eyes widened. max continued talking, unaware of the grabber right behind him, "we can talk about it this-"

although, he didn't get to finish his sentence as the grabber brought an axe up into the air and rapidly strikes it on the top of max's head, acting as if it was wood needed to be chopped.

the two screamed in horror and moved backwards until their backs hit the wall. it was something straight out of a horror movie. they saw the axe go halfway through his skull with crimson red leaking out and splattering all over the area he stood in.

including, splattering all over the grabber.

max's body walked two or three steps forward, before completely shutting down and falling limp. he was dead.

the grabber then stepped down into the basement; his white shirt sprinkled with stains of max's blood, with some of it even going on his face and mask.

at this point, jaelin and finney were clutching onto each other, face to face with the grabber. jaelin's hands started shaking as she breathed heavily, looking at max's bloody body near the corner, then to the masked murderer in front of them.

"look what you made me do." he held intense eye contact with the two, "you made me kill my brother."

the two abruptly shook their head as finney stepped forward a little. jaelin still held onto his arm though to keep him close just in case things go south quickly.

finney trembled, "no, no it wasn't us! i..i.."

"he was an idiot." the grabber averted his gaze towards the dead body on the floor, "but he was my idiot."

jaelin pulled a face at the wording. both teens watched the grabber go towards max's body. "i'm really sorry max." he said quietly, "now i'm gonna have to put you with the others."

he sighed, "looks like you'll find those naughty boys after all."

the grabber reached for the axe and started trying to get it out. the crunch and different noises of the axe moving around in the brain made jaelin grimace and hide her face in finney's shoulder with her hands covering her ears. the dirty blond looked at the sight in complete disgust and fear.

after a couple more manoeuvres of the axe, the grabber managed to pull it out of max's head. what once was clean metal, was covered in dark red. finney nudged jaelin lightly, telling her it the sounds were over.

she removed her hands and looked back at the grabber, who went back to stand in the door way, "what's up with the phone, huh? i told you it doesn't work!"

the two teens breathed in and out, glaring at him. of course it worked.

"normally, i would use a knife." he purposely emphasised on the word knife to trigger jaelin. unfortunately, jaelin's breathed hitched as she clenched her fists with a frown.

the grabber was amused for a second before directing his gaze at finney and lifted the axe, using it to point at him, "but you..are special, finney. i'm gonna take my time.."

he then used his axe to between the both of them, "on both of you. and i want this to really hurt."

finney clutched the phone tighter in his hands as jaelin got ready to execute their plan. the grabber never broke eye contact once as he called out, "samson!"

suddenly, a big dog came down the stairs with a collar and a chain attached to it. it started growling at the two teens, only for it to receive glares in return. this was the dog that caused them to get captured after their escape.

the grabber shushed the dog and smiled evilly at them before leading him near the door and chaining him near the exit, so if they tried to escape, the dog would be waiting to pounce on them.

once he did that, he got the axe and walked towards them. he smiled sadistically at them before chuckling and lifting the axe up, swinging it at finney.

just before he could do that, finney and jaelin ran out of the way just in time and sprinted towards the hallway, making the grabber swing into air and fall on the mattress.

the two jumped over the wire, and avoided the hole. finney stood, ready to use robin's tactic as jaelin went to the floor and got the wire, pulling it so it tightened even more.

when the grabber came, he didn't notice the wire and tripped over it, falling into the hole. the grabber screamed. they heard his ankle break and crack because of the square metal bar finney ripped off a couple days ago.

the grabber tried to throw a punch, but missed. jaelin shuffled away, watching finney repeat the steps he was taught. because of this, he was able to land a good amount of hits on him with the phone.

when finney landed a good hit, the grabber's upper body leaned back. when he was about to hit him again, the grabber unfortunately grabbed his arm midway and held him in a chokehold.

jaelin quickly jumped into action and ran towards them. she went and grabbed his mask, ripping it off his face. after that, the grabber screamed and let finney go, clutching and hiding his face.

finney landed two more hits, and then passed the phone to let jaelin land a few hits of her own. safe to say she was very satisfied. but not enough. they needed to get rid of him forever. and the only way to do that, was to potentially kill him.

finney had an idea pop into his head. jaelin passed him the phone back as finney motioned between the cable and the grabber. she immediately understood him and took hold of the end of the wire.

the two ran past the grabber, but not before wrapping the wire around his neck, choking him. the grabber tried to get the wire off, but it was no use.

finney let out a battle cry as the two pulled the wire forwards as much as they could. suddenly, finney put the phone against the grabbers ear, "it's for you."

jaelin's eyes widened upon hearing the next couple voices.

"welcome to the nightmare end of your pathetic little life! today's the day motherfucker!"

vance.

"hahaha, you don't. have. much. time."

griffin.

"it hurts real bad, huh?"

billy.

"i can't kill you, hijo de puta, so finney and jae are gonna do it for me!"

robin..

"finn's arm is mint!"

bruce.

with the last of their energy, jaelin and finney raised the wire and pulled extra hard, breaking the grabber's neck in the process and leaving him dead. the two instantly got up and watched his limp body curl up into the hole.

holy shit.

they did it.

FINNEY AND JAELIN stepped out of the house through the door they 'escaped' from a day or so ago. no words could describe what they were feeling. but to finney, the only words that could describe it was how traumatic the whole thing was. it seemed like the only best fitting word.

the two looked across the street to see gwen standing up with a shocked look on her face. finney could feel his eyes watering as gwen got up and ran towards him, immediately wrapping him into a tight hug.

finney held onto her tightly, having missed his sister dearly. jaelin looked at the two with a sad smile, happy the two reunited and that they finally got out.

however, when she shifted her focus off of them and looked across to the other identical house, she spotted a familiar black haired boy with an all too familiar necklace around his neck.

she gasped as the two made eye contact.

"robin..?"
