“That’s all for now guys.See you next time around,alright?”the interviewer said while he turned the tape-recorder off and grabbed his notepad and other equipment,ready to leave the warm studio.
Five were doing a promotional tour through Britain,which meant interview after interview and performance after performance.Luckily the small interview with Smash Hits had been their final one for that day and all they really wanted was to go back to their hotel and have some free time.Some of the lads were deciding on going clubbing,not listening to Rob’s pleads to stay at the hotel so they couldn’t get into trouble again,others just wanted to phone some family and friends and then have an early night.
“Thank God it’s only one more week.”Rich sighed while he stared out of one of the windows of their previa.The other four nodded in agreement,all of them longing for their short vacation of three days.Soon they arrived at the hotel that again was invaded by loads of fans,or in some cases stalkers.The guys were used to it now after years of being in the popbiz but sometimes it still scared them,especially if it meant trying to get through a crowd of screaming girls to get inside the hotel.
“Wanna go out tonight?”Sean asked J after the group of guys had made it save to the lifts inside the hotel.J nodded in reply before he exclaimed”Let me take a shower first and then we can go.”
“Fine with me.”
Five finally arrived at their rooms and a feeling of happiness was clearly visible in the air.
Sean was the first one to enter his room,hoping to relax a bit before going clubbing.He knew that J wouldn’t be back for at least an hour and all Sean wanted to do was to take a small nap.He closed the door behind him and walked straight over to his bed before landing on it,even forgetting about taking his shoes off.He almost was lost in a deep sleep until he turned onto his side and felt something laying beneath him.With one swift movement Sean pulled the item that was causing the trouble from underneath his body and he raised an eyebrow when he realized it was an envelop with his name on it.Getting curious Sean decided not to sleep after all but explore the contains of the envelop instead and he opened it roughly.He pulled a small piece of red paper out of it and immediatly thought of a loveletter from a fan.Sean almost decided on throwing the letter away but something deep inside him stopped him and he unfolded the paper,only to find a short message on it.The black ink said :
No matter where you go or what you’re doing,we’re watching you.
One wrong movement and you die.
One word to the police and your family dies.
Take this message serious.
We’re watching you…
Sean dropped the letter in shock.He hadn’t counted with a threat and definitely not a dead-threat.At that moment there was a loud knock on the door and Sean stood up quickly,absolutely not wanting to stay in the room alone any longer.He found a very pale J in front of him,holding exactly the same letter in his hand that Sean had just read.
“Did you get one,too!?”J asked and Sean nodded quietly.
“Do you believe in them?”Sean asked and J shrugged his shoulders.”They do sound very serious.They’re probably just a sick joke,but I do not want to take the risk of getting my family into trouble.”
“You’re right.”
