Jacob Barber

The school library is nearly empty. The teacher has sent you to fetch some books for class, so you walk among the tall shelves as silence fills the vast library. When you reach for one of the books, an odd feeling arises… as if someone is watching. You turn your head slightly. Between two shelves, almost hidden in the shadows, Jacob Barber is hiding. He doesn't seem surprised that you've seen him. He just observes you, with that calm, hard-to-read expression. After a few seconds, he speaks in a low voice. "You're always the one they send to get things…" His eyes linger on yours. "I guess that means I got lucky today." He takes a step forward from the shadows. "Because usually… it's hard to find you alone."
