You can’t fucking breathe. It’s like your diaphragm is frozen and you can’t pull air into your lungs. Your vision is tunneled onto the skull in the box, the bright blue scrap of painters tape with Simon’s messy scrawl. Behind and under you, you know he’s saying something. All you can hear is the blood rushing through your ears.

The last expression you’d ever seen on Brandon’s face flashes before your eyes.

A big hand closes over your mouth and nose.

You flail. Before you even know you’re doing it, your elbow comes up to slam against the man behind you. The hand disappears. Using the momentum of your swing, you pitch yourself sideways. But a huge arm wraps around your waist. You’re trapped. You’re trapped. The killer is at your back and you’re trapped.

Simon’s voice cuts through the panic. “Stop squirmin’ before you hurt yourself, precious. Or I’ll make you.”

Every muscle in your body locks up. You burst into tears.

It’s awful, the way he coos at you. But when he gathers you in this arms and cradles you, you can’t help the way you cling. You’re torn between burying your face in his neck and being too terrified to close your eyes.

Images from that night at the ski lodge flash behind your eyes. Finding Stacy bleeding out from her shoulder, already too weak to stand. Your manager, propped against a wall with his guts spilled in his lap. Amber, her throat slit long before you and Brandon stumbled across her. Brandon, who’d followed you downstairs as you looked for matches and candles. The same Brandon who had been trying to convince you to share a bed with him when the power went out.

“To conserve warmth,” he’d said, with that that stupid smirk on his face as he followed you into the kitchen area.

“No, Brandon,” you’d finally hissed at him, whirling on him with a long, unlit white candle in your hand. You poked him with it as you whisper-shouted, sick of his shit. “No. No. Fucking no. What do I need to say to get you to get it? I don’t sleep with my co-workers. And even if I did, I wouldn’t sleep with you because you’re an asshole who can’t take a hint. Go find Amber if you’re so hard up. She’s actually interested in you.”

“Amber’s a slag,” Brandon said, not bothering to whisper. “What, you’re not actually fucking Riley, are you? Won’t fuck a co-worker, but you’re fine shagging a neighbor.”

“I’m not fucking Riley,” you’d snapped, still at a whisper because you weren’t about to be goaded into shouting.

“Then what’s the problem?” Brandon’d snapped right back. “Stop being so stuck up. I bought you drinks, I walked you home more than once-”

“I told you not to!”

“-I’ve brought you flowers and chocolates. I got you coffee from your favorite spot, and a pastry-”

“You think I’m interested in dating you because you picked up a danish on your way to work?” You’d wanted to pull your hair out. Wanted to wrap your hands around his throat and shake. “Brandon, I fucking hate cherries and you-! No, that’s not even the point. I’m not interested. I’ve never been interested. Leave me alone.”

His fingers closing around your upper arm, tight, had made you push him away. Not as hard as you could, just enough to startle and put some distance between you. But he’d slipped in something on the tile and fallen to his knees.

“Shit,” he’d yelped. “What the fuck? Ugh, the floor is wet. You’re lucky I didn’t break something.”

You had snorted, turned your back and picked up the matches that were laying on the counter. Lighting one, and then your candle, you’d turned back as you heard him getting up. You’d opened your mouth to say something scathing, but… “Brandon, what… is that?”

There’d been something dark and wet on his hands, his sleeve. Whatever it was, he’d slipped on more than a trickle of it, coming from under the table. And when you rounded the table, there she was. Amber, in a pink pajama set and a pool of her own blood.

Yours was the first scream of the night. Brandon’s had been the last.

And now the man that had killed both of them is petting your hair and shushing you. You gasp as you pull yourself from the flashback, teeth chattering with remembered cold. A wave of goosebumps sweeps over you. You’re very aware of the gloved hand that rubs up and down your calf.

“A couple of deep breaths now,” Simon murmurs. You can feel his lips on your forehead through the cloth of his balaclava. “Deep breath in, there you are, precious. Let it out. Slow yourself down. That’s it. There’s a good girl.”

Another memory flashes through your body. Simon’s hands holding your hips steady as you rode him, just last night. His voice smoky and soft, “Easy, easy. There’s a good girl. Let me do all the work, yeah?”

You’re wracked by another wave of sobbing.

Eventually, you tire yourself out. Your limbs are suddenly just so much dead weight. Your eyes are so sore it hurts to blink. Every hitched breath shakes your whole body. You don’t fight it when Simon makes you tip your face up so he can see how puffy and red your face is. Only let out a shaky breath when he lifts the bottom of his mask just enough to let him taste the tears on your face.

“That was the worst night of my life,” you rasp.

Simon hums at that. “Worse than the hospital?”

“I thought I could trust you,” you say. You sniffle, then continue. “I knew you weren’t safe. But I thought I could trust you.”

“Can’t you?”

You think about that for a long moment. Have to concede, “Don’t think you’ve ever actually lied to me. Well… you lied about your name. Fae rules.”

He chuckles at that. “Callin’ me a fairy?”

“Equal opportunity serial killer,” you murmur. If you weren’t so tired, it might have been funny. Right now, it feels like the words are all that carry you from one moment to the next.

“Cute.”

He lets you sit in his lap for a little while longer. It reminds you of being locked in his apartment that first week after the lodge. You’d sobbed yourself empty so many times. Felt hollowed out just like this. You’re going to need water, soon.

Finally, you put your feet on the ground, so you’re perched on Simon’s knee. He lifts a water bottle to your mouth, tips a mouthful at a time for you until you feel ready to hold it yourself. When you look at him, the skull is less menacing than in your memories. But his eyes are just as cold and dead.

“You’re fucked up,” you say to him. “You know that?”

The way his eyes crinkle at the edges means he’s genuinely grinning. “You think so?”

“I know so.”

“That’s good, clever girl. Can you tell what I’m thinking?”

You shrug. “Any time I try, I get it wrong. So tell me.”

“I’m thinking,” he says, leaning in to kiss your cheekbone. “That you have eleven minutes left.”

Everything in your body freezes. “What?”

“Haven’t found the key,” he says, kissing your cheek again before pulling his mask back down. “Clock’s still ticking until you’re out of the cuffs.”

The urge to burst into tears again wars with the urge to scream. You take a deep breath, hold it, and let it out slow. “Why are you like this?”

“Probably all the trauma,” he drawls. His hands lift you to stand and he pats your ass. “G’won then. Key’s in the box. You have plenty of time.”

Looking back at Brandon’s skull makes you feel ill. “Can I have the key you have?”

“Too late for that, precious. Don’t have enough time left to trade.”

“You fucking fucker,” you mutter around a hitching breath. A few deep breaths and you make yourself look at the skull again. Try to look at it as an object, a pile of shapes, not the remains of a person.

It takes you longer than you’d like to admit to step closer to the box. But you do. And you realize that the skull is on top of something. Cloth is folded up under it. On the left side of the box is a small, black hard case. You step over to that side, crouch down to pick the box up. Avoid the profile of the skull as much as possible. It has simple clasps. You take a deep breath and hold it before you open it.

Inside, surrounded by foam lining, are what look like three folding knives.

“It’s not in there,” Simon tells you. “Once the timer stops, you’ll have plenty of time for those.”

You don’t bother to answer, just put the case down next to you on the ground. The only other option for looking for the key is to move the cloth and, by extension, the skull. You clench your hand into a nervous fist, take a deep breath, and let it out. The cloth, when you touch it, is stiff. A gentle tug wiggles the skull a in place, just a bit.

You put your hands on the edge of the box and close your eyes for another few deep breaths. Fight the urge to vomit. Try to think.

Simon put it there to get a reaction out of you. Labeled it so you’d panic and cry. He knows you, so he probably knew you’d have to interact with the skull with a time limit. The key is in the box, somewhere, under all of that cloth and the skull.

The key… is under the skull.

Before you can let the nausea set in, you open you eyes and reach out to poke the skull hard with one finger. It tips, the bulk of it falling away from the jaw. And there’s the key, taped to the palate. A tiny metal cylinder, just like the one around Simon’s neck.

Even though you know the answer, you ask, “Do I have to touch it?”

Simon, of course, doesn’t say anything. You tug the cloth closer to yourself so you don’t have to reach too far and lay your fingers on the cheekbone. It’s cold, solid, and dry. You’re not sure why you expected different. You use your thumb to pick at the tape, focusing on that and nothing else. It comes away remarkably easily. The key falls from its spot with a soft clack against a tooth and lands on the cloth.

Unlocking your cuffs feels anticlimactic after all of that.

“Three minutes to spare,” Simon says. He sounds impressed.

You sniffle a bit as you rub your wrists. “New personal record.”

“You did yourself proud, Precious.”

The truth bubbles out of you before you can think better of it. “I can’t think of a reason not to hate you right now.”

“That’s because you’ve got some sense in your head,” Simon says. He stands, turns his back to you to go to the table. He picks up two of the MREs, reads off, “Chili with Beans or Mexican Rice and Bean Bowl?”

“I’m not hungry.”

“Gotta eat more than crackers,” he says. “Might as well have some while I tell you about the rest of our little adventure together. Come sit at the table.”

You stand, look at his back where he’s picking grapes from the bag. “What’s outside the door?”

“The not-so-safe zone,” Simon says, without turning. “You go out that door, the next part of the game starts.”

Hunting trip three-point-oh. You sigh and walk across the mattress to the chair at the table. “Mexican rice, please.”

He passes it over. “Good choice.”

He’s quiet while you reacquaint yourself with the heating element and examine the rest of the package. He opens his own MRE and cracks open a bottle of water, offers it to you first. You use it to start the heating process, watch him do the same.

“So,” you huff, crossing your arms. There are a few minutes until the food will be hot. “What’s the next part of the game?”

“We’re gonna play a bit of capture the flag,” he says. “You ever been paintballing?”

You stare at him, jaw dropped. A headache starts to form under your left temple. “Have you lost your mind?”

It’s not often that Simon looks affronted. “Paintball is fun.”

You can’t help the disbelieving laughter. “Then why didn’t you take me to paintball?”

“Gotta train you on gun safety first,” he points out. “And most places make you play on teams.”

“And the guns aren’t real,” you counter. “That’s the real reason, right?”

He shrugs, “I prefer knives. But yeah, I’d want you to have something real.”

That reminds you. “What are the knives for?”

Simon goes to retrieve the little carrying case, snags his chair on the way back. He places the box on the table, turns it toward you and opens it. He picks up the leftmost blade and flicks it open with a quick motion. He hands it to you, black handle first as he takes a seat.

The handle is thick and the whole thing is a bit heavy. You turn it in your hand and realize that it’s a multi-tool.

“This is a Leatherman Free K4,” he says. “Decent multi-tool, lots of uses. How does it feel in your hand?”

How are you supposed to know? “Fine? It’s a knife.”

“Show me you can close the blade?”

You find the mechanism pretty easily, close the knife without incident. Simon nods, presents his hand, so you give him the knife back. He fiddles with it for a moment, and out pop a pair of scissors. And he hands it back.

“This one,” Simon calls your attention to the second item. It has a black handle as well, but the frame is open so you can actually see the tools. “is a Leatherman Skeletool CX.”

It’s impossible for you not to poke around. There are 8 little tools attached the the knife, including the scissors. A few you don’t really understand, but there are three separate screwdrivers and a bottle opener. You can think of a few times in the last couple of years a multi-tool like this could have come in handy.

You snort. “Skeletool?”

“Hush,” he chides you, smile audible in his voice as he hands it over. “This one has pliers, and a few other tools the other one doesn’t. Shorter blade, a bit lighter.”

“I can kind of feel the difference?” you offer.

“Don’t worry too much about it. Open and close it.”

You do. Pliers first, because you can. Then the blade. “Cool.”

He hands you the last one, a tiny thing that’s all silver, as he takes the second from your hand. “This one is the Skeletool KBX.”

You flick it open and closed without him asking. “Itty bitty.”

“That one’s very straightforward. Just the blade and a bottle opener on the handle.”

You pick up the little package of pretzel nuggets that came with your meal and cut into it. The plastic splits like butter. “Dangerous.”

“I dunno,” you admit. “I haven’t used them yet. You gonna tell me what they’re for?”

Simon hums, a noise you secretly have categorized as one of his “happy tiger” noises. You look up to see he’s got those eye wrinkles that mean he’s pleased. He’s looking at the little blade in your hand.

“Do you like them?”

“They’re gifts,” he says. “One for your usual purse, one for your backpack. The little one for the next time you want to go out dancing. After lunch, I’ll show you how to hold them.”

Staring at him, you think that you’d call the way his shoulders come up toward his ears bashful if he was anyone else. “Did you get me romance knives?”

“Skull’s got me in the doghouse,” he mutters, picking up his now-hot food. “Gotta give you something nice to balance it out.”

“Drugging and kidnapping me got you in the doghouse,” you correct him. “The skull has you under it.”

“I’ve got experience digging myself out,” Simon says with a shrug. “Eat.”

You grab your food and start extracting it from the heat pack. “You want to get back into my good graces? Tell me what the fuck happened in 2007. What the fuck does Roba mean?”

Simon chuckles. “That’s not a story you want to hear while you’re eating, sweet thing.”

“You made me touch Brandon’s skull,” you point out as you tear the packaging open. The smell of hot food makes you suddenly aware of how hungry you are. “So you had better start talking.”

“Promise I’ll tell you more when we’re home, Precious.”

“Swear it.”

“Cross my heart,” he says, flat blue eyes staring into yours. “Hope to die.”

“The whole story.”

“Promise you a summary that won’t make you vomit more than once,” he offers. “And I’ll rub your feet.”

You scoop a spoonful of rice and pop it in your mouth. “You’re going to rub my feet regardless.”

Simon gives a dry little laugh as he pushes his mask up over his mouth. “Yes, ma’am. Now eat. I’ll tell you the rules of capture the flag.”

Guide to Carpet Installation in Brooklyn

Carpet installation is a vital part of home improvement that can dramatically enhance the look and comfort of any room. In Brooklyn, with its unique blend of historic buildings, contemporary apartments, and commercial spaces, expert carpet installation is crucial for optimal results. This detailed guide covers everything you need to know about carpet installation in Brooklyn, including the process, benefits, selection tips, and important considerations.

What is Carpet Installation in Brooklyn?

Carpet installation in Brooklyn involves the professional placement of carpet in homes or businesses. This process includes several key steps such as measuring, cutting, fitting, and securing the carpet to ensure it precisely covers the designated area. Brooklyn’s distinctive architectural styles and property characteristics necessitate a customized approach to carpet installation to meet the specific needs of each space.

The Carpet Installation Process

Initial Consultation: The process starts with an initial consultation where a professional installer evaluates the area to be carpeted. This includes measuring the space, assessing the condition of the subfloor, and discussing the customer’s preferences and budget.

Material Selection: Based on the assessment, the installer recommends suitable carpet materials. Customers can choose from a variety of options such as wool, nylon, polyester, or blended fibers, depending on their needs and preferences.

Preparation: If there is existing flooring, it needs to be removed, which could include old carpet, tiles, or hardwood. Proper disposal of old materials is essential to prepare the area for new carpet installation.

Subfloor Preparation: The subfloor is inspected and prepared to ensure it is clean, dry, and level. Any imperfections, such as cracks or uneven surfaces, are repaired to provide a smooth base for the carpet.

Laying Padding: A layer of padding is laid over the subfloor. Padding enhances the carpet’s comfort, extends its life, and provides additional insulation and soundproofing.

Cutting and Fitting the Carpet: The carpet is cut to fit the dimensions of the room, including any nooks and corners. Installers use specialized tools to ensure precise cuts and a perfect fit.

Securing the Carpet: The carpet is secured in place using tack strips around the perimeter of the room. The edges are stretched and attached to the strips to ensure a snug fit without wrinkles or loose areas.

Trimming and Finishing: Excess carpet is trimmed, and the edges are tucked neatly against the walls. Seams are joined and sealed to create a seamless appearance.

Inspection and Cleanup: The installation is inspected to ensure it meets quality standards. The area is cleaned, and any debris is removed, leaving the space ready for use.

Customer Walkthrough: The installer walks through the completed installation with the customer, addressing any questions or concerns and providing maintenance tips.

Essential Benefits of Carpet Installation in Brooklyn

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Carpet installation can significantly improve the aesthetic appeal of any space. With a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures available, carpets can complement any interior design style, from contemporary to traditional. A well-chosen carpet can transform a room, adding warmth and character.

Comfort and Insulation: Carpets provide a soft and comfortable surface to walk on, making them ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas where comfort is a priority. They also offer excellent insulation, helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduce energy costs.

Noise Reduction: Carpets are effective at absorbing sound, reducing noise levels within a room. This is particularly beneficial in multi-story buildings or apartments where noise from footsteps can be disruptive. Carpeted floors create a quieter, more peaceful environment.

Safety: Carpets provide a non-slip surface, reducing the risk of slips and falls. This is especially important in homes with young children, elderly individuals, or people with mobility issues. Carpets also offer a cushioned surface that can help prevent injuries in case of a fall.

Improved Air Quality: High-quality carpets can trap dust, pollen, and other allergens, preventing them from becoming airborne. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning can effectively remove these trapped particles, contributing to better indoor air quality.

Value Addition: Professional carpet installation can add value to a property. A well-installed, high-quality carpet can enhance the overall appeal of a home, making it more attractive to potential buyers or renters.

Customization Options: Carpet installation offers a high degree of customization. Customers can choose from various materials, colors, patterns, and styles to match their specific needs and preferences. Custom carpets can be cut and fitted to accommodate unique room shapes and sizes.

How to Choose the Best Carpet Installation in Brooklyn

Research and Recommendations:

Online Reviews: Look for online reviews and ratings of carpet installation services in Brooklyn. Websites like Yelp, Google, and Angie’s List provide customer feedback that can help you assess the quality of a service.

Recommendations: Ask friends, family, or neighbors for recommendations. Personal experiences can provide valuable insights into the reliability and quality of an installer.

Credentials and Experience:

Certification: Ensure the installer is certified by relevant industry bodies, such as the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI). Certification indicates adherence to industry standards and best practices.

Experience: Choose an installer with significant experience in the field. Experienced professionals are more likely to deliver high-quality results and handle any challenges that may arise during the installation process.

Services Offered:

Comprehensive Services: Look for installers who offer comprehensive services, including consultation, measurement, material selection, installation, and post-installation support. A full-service provider can ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.

Custom Solutions: Select an installer who offers custom solutions tailored to your specific needs. This includes the ability to accommodate unique room shapes, special installation requirements, and personalized design preferences.

Cost and Budget:

Quotes and Estimates: Obtain quotes from multiple installers to compare prices. Ensure the quotes include all aspects of the installation, such as materials, labor, and any additional costs. This will help you make an informed decision within your budget.

Value for Money: While cost is important, it should not be the sole deciding factor. Consider the overall value, including the quality of materials, workmanship, and customer service. Opt for an installer who offers the best balance of cost and quality.

Warranty and Guarantee:

Warranty: Check if the installer provides a warranty for their work. A warranty can offer peace of mind, knowing that any issues with the installation will be addressed without additional costs.

Satisfaction Guarantee: Choose an installer who offers a satisfaction guarantee. This ensures that they are committed to meeting your expectations and delivering a high-quality installation.

What Should You Know About Carpet Installation in Brooklyn?

Seasonal Considerations: Brooklyn experiences distinct seasons, which can impact carpet installation. Humidity levels, temperature, and weather conditions can affect the installation process and the carpet’s performance. It’s important to consider these factors when scheduling your installation.

Building Regulations and Permits: In some cases, carpet installation may require permits or adherence to specific building regulations, especially in commercial properties or historic buildings. Ensure that the installer is familiar with local regulations and can handle any necessary permits.

Preparation and Maintenance: Proper preparation and maintenance are crucial for the longevity of your carpet. Ensure the subfloor is properly prepared before installation, and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines to keep your carpet looking and performing its best.

Professional Installation: While DIY carpet installation is possible, professional installation is recommended for the best results. Professional installers have the experience, tools, and expertise to ensure a flawless installation, minimizing the risk of issues such as wrinkles, seams, or improper fitting.

Eco-Friendly Options: Many carpet manufacturers and installers offer eco-friendly options, including carpets made from recycled materials or those with low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. Choosing eco-friendly carpets can contribute to a healthier indoor environment and sustainable living.
