Adam killed the third assassin. He watched the man fall to the floor, his body twitching in its final moments. He had done it. He had won. But his victory was short-lived.
His eyes widened in horror. He saw the door to Sophia's room swing open. She stepped out into the hallway, her face a mask of terror and confusion.
Behind her, her mother and her younger sister peered out, their own faces filled with a dawning dread. They saw the bodies. They saw the blood. They saw Adam standing there, a pistol in his hand, a ghost in the midst of a massacre.
Sophia's mother sees Adam and then sees the bodies lying on the floor. She becomes even more scared as she doesn't know who this boy is and what he is doing.
