Looking Forward To Their Vacation

Joselyn and David Beck had been looking forward to their family vacation for weeks. They had organized a family road trip, away from the chaos of their busy lives.

They were excited to spend quality time with their kids and relax in the serene surroundings. But they had no idea what was happening at home.

But their peaceful retreat was quickly interrupted by their next-door neighbor’s rude behavior. The couple were lying in their chalet when David’s phone buzzed.

They tried to ignore it and enjoy their vacation, but that’s when they got a security alert. David’s blood ran cold.

They even received a notification from their ring camera showing their neighbor doing something unspeakable. That was the last straw.

Joselyn and David decided to take matters into their own hands. They wanted to contact the authorities, but they didn’t stop him from continuing his disruptive behavior.

Getting Revenge

David tried calling the neighbor, but it was ignored. So Joselyn and David decided to take a one-way train to Revenge Station.

Jocelyn didn’t want to cause any harm, but David needed to teach their neighbor a lesson. It became an obsession for him.

Luckily for them, the neighbor had no idea who David was. He spent the next few days obsessed with creating something that would stop them once and for all.

Arriving Home

The vacation was already ruined by what they saw. David was resourceful and started making something that would make their neighbor regret everything.

Jocelyn watched her husband descend deeper into madness as his creation took form. It was a work of art, but it was scary.

Just a few days later, It was finished, and the couple arrived home with cops in tow. The neighbor would be begging him for forgiveness.

David Beck sat on the front porch of his house, sipping his morning coffee. As he looked out at the lush greenery of his backyard, he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of pride.

He had come a long way since his early days, and he knew he had a lot to be grateful for. David had always been a hard worker, but he knew that his life changed when he was 18 years old.

A family friend had offered him a job opportunity that he couldn’t resist. Initially, he had no idea what to expect, but he soon discovered that he had a knack for civil engineering.

Working Hard

He worked hard and steadily climbed the ladder, earning a hefty sum in salary. But the company had done more than just pay him well.

They had also paid for all of his studies, which allowed him to further his education and become an expert in his field. David couldn’t believe his luck.

He knew that he was one of the few people who had found a job that he loved and that paid him well, too.

Jocelyn

However, David’s life was about to get even better. One day, he met Jocelyn, a woman who would change his life forever.

They met at a charity event, and they hit it off immediately. David was captivated by Jocelyn’s intelligence, wit, and charm.

The two quickly became inseparable, and they fell deeply in love. Jocelyn was a successful businesswoman, and she shared David’s passion for philanthropy and community service.

A Power Couple

Together, they worked to make the world a better place, and they were a true power couple. Nothing could bring them down.

David knew that he was lucky to have Jocelyn in his life. She had brought him so much joy and happiness, and he felt grateful for every moment they spent together.

David smiled to himself, feeling content with his life. He knew that he had made a difference in the world, and that was something to be proud of.

A Surprise Vacation

His perfect life made it all too jarring that there was a dark cloud over the horizon. Now in his thirties, David had everything he could ever ask for.

He had a loving wife, two adorable kids, and a successful career. But he knew that there was more to life than just work and routine.

That’s why he decided to plan a surprise vacation for his family. One sunny morning, David gathered his family in the living room and announced something special.

Renting An RV

They were going on a special vacation. Rory and Amanda’s faces lit up with excitement, and Jocelyn couldn’t help but smile at the surprise.

David had planned everything down to the last detail. They were going on a road trip across the country, stopping at all the major landmarks and tourist attractions.

He even rented an RV so they could have the freedom to go wherever they pleased. The final stop would be a beautiful Chalet in New Hampshire.

Something Behind Him

The family spent the next few days packing and preparing for their adventure. David had made sure to include all of the kids’ favorite snacks and activities.

With everything prepped, they wouldn’t get bored during the long drives. The day they planned to leave, David started packing the RV.

He was just about to load up his car when he heard a noise that sent shivers up his spine. It was his neighbor, Lawrence.

Lawrence

Lawrence had always been a bit of a nuisance to David. He was constantly poking his nose into other people’s business and asking intrusive questions.

David had always tried to be polite, but he found Lawrence’s behavior incredibly frustrating. “Hey there, David!” Lawrence called out from across the yard.

“So you’re going on holiday?” David groaned inwardly. He knew that Lawrence would never let him leave without asking a million questions.

An Ulterior Motive

“Yes, Lawrence,” David said through gritted teeth. “I’m going on vacation. Can I help you with something?”

The neighbor shuffled over, his eyes flickering with curiosity. “Oh, no, no,” he said, waving his hand dismissively.

“Just wanted to wish you a good trip, that’s all.” David eyed him suspiciously. He knew that Lawrence had an ulterior motive for coming over.

A Heavy Sound

He just couldn’t figure out what it was. As he finished loading up his car, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Lawrence was up to something.

He kept glancing over his shoulder, half-expecting to see the old man lurking in the bushes. Finally, he climbed into the driver’s seat and started the engine.

Just as he was about to pull out of the driveway, he heard a loud thud. Jumping out of the car, he saw that Lawrence had accidentally dropped a heavy box onto the ground.

Jealous

As he helped the old man pick it up, he noticed a strange glint in his neighbor’s eye. It was then that he realized that Lawrence wasn’t just nosy.

The old man was downright jealous of David’s vacation. And he was willing to go to great lengths to find out more about it.

David felt a chill run down his spine as he got back into the car and drove away. He couldn’t help but wonder what Lawrence was planning to do while he was away.

A Good Vacation

As they hit the road, David couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy and contentment. He was looking forward to a deserved break.

He was surrounded by his loved ones, exploring the world and creating memories that would last a lifetime. But he had no idea that trouble was brewing on the horizon.

As they arrived at their final destination, David knew that this was one of the best decisions he had ever made. But he was blissfully unaware of what was going on at his property back home.

Different Cities

The days passed quickly as the family drove from place to place. They spent every night in a different city, unaware that back home, their lives were being ruined.

But it wasn’t until one night, while they were staying at a hotel, that David realized something strange was going on.

He had just tucked the kids into bed, but as soon as he walked into his and Joslyn’s bedroom, he noticed his wife’s bone-chilling expression.

Up To No Good

The second he saw her face, his stomach dropped. She was staring down at her phone, seemingly beside herself with worry.

“Joselyn?” he asked, catching her off guard. But as she slowly looked up at him, he saw the glint of moisture behind her eyes.

“What’s going on?” He asked. But when she pointed her cell phone in his direction, he couldn’t believe what he saw. His neighbor was up to no good.

The Disturbing Text

David was confused at first. Their little breakaway had been perfect so far. Why on earth was his wife so upset?

He slowly walked toward her, trying his best to see what she was trying to show him on the small screen.

He sat on the bed beside her, and that was when he saw the disturbing text message. “Honey, who sent you this text?” He asked.

An Unknown Number

He read it again and again as his wife sat frozen in place. “You need to come home. Something happening to your house,” The text read.

David’s blood ran cold the second he read those words. “It’s an unknown number. I don’t know who sent it,” Joslyn admitted, her voice shaky with fear.

“You kept saying you felt like something bad was going to happen to the house while we’re gone. What if it has?” She asked, his voice laced with fear.

Confusion

David didn’t seem too concerned at first. He was confused about the text, but he was certain that there was a reasonable explanation.

“It could be some kid pulling a prank. I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about,” He said, trying to assure his wife and himself.

But Josleyn simply shook her head and stared at the phone. “I don’t think this is a prank, honey. I have a terrible feeling about this,” She said.

Pacing

David’s anxious footsteps echoed through the sterile hotel room as he paced back and forth, lost in thought. He was grappling with a weighty decision.

It seemed to grow heavier with every passing moment. The image of his home left undefended worried him to his soul.

He imagined it being at the mercy of robbers or squatters, and it was a constant source of worry and fear that gnawed at him incessantly. What could he do?

A Target

canva

David was painfully aware that his considerable wealth made him a target for criminals. He and his wife Jocelyn lived in constant fear.

They never knew when they might receive a threatening call or message about their home. Even simple errands to the local shops filled Jocelyn with dread. 

David, on the other hand, tended to brush off her worries, thinking that nothing bad would happen to them. But things were different today.

Stakes Were High

canva

The stakes were much higher than ever before. David had reason to believe that all of their treasured possessions were at risk of being stolen.

He was worried that their safety might be in jeopardy. They had countless documents in their home.

Desperately trying to find a solution, David attempted to comfort Jocelyn as they tried to come up with a plan.

A Difficult Situation

canva

David found himself in a difficult situation, his mind racing with a flurry of potential solutions, none of which seemed practical or even plausible. 

He was feeling overwhelmed and needed to clear his head. He decided to take a walk along the beach, hoping that the fresh air and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore would help him think more clearly. 

As he walked, he tried to sort through his thoughts, weighing the pros and cons of each potential solution. 

Clearing His Head

canva

He knew that he had to make a decision soon, but he also knew that he needed Jocelyn’s approval before he could move forward with any of his ideas. 

As he walked along the beach, he continued to mull over his options, considering every angle and possibility. He had to clear his head.

Despite the weight of the situation, he found comfort in the simple beauty of the world around him, the salty air, and the feel of the sand under his feet. 

Clarity

canva

Eventually, he felt a sense of clarity wash over him, and he knew what he had to do. With a newfound sense of purpose, he headed back to his accommodation, ready to put his plan into action.

He approached Jocelyn, who was busy planning the next leg of their holiday. “Honey, you and the kids can enjoy the holiday. I need to fly back and sort this out,” David announced.

His voice was laced with a resolve he didn’t feel. Jocelyn looked up, her expression a mix of surprise and concern. 

Leaving

canva

The disruption at their house had now seeped into their perfect holiday, casting a shadow over the family’s joy.

“Alright, sweetie. Please take care,” Jocelyn said, forcing a smile that failed to reflect in her eyes. She couldn’t hide her concern from her husband.

Unaware of the enormity of the obstacles that awaited David upon his arrival, she bid him goodbye with a heavy heart. David could tell that she didn’t like him leaving one bit, but what other choice did he have?

Landing Back Home

canva

With a lot of reluctance, David left his family in the hotel, and his wife and kids would continue the road trip in the car he left behind. He took a taxi to the airport. 

He made a promise to meet them in the next city, a promise he intended to keep despite the uncertainty that lay ahead.

David’s heart sank as he landed at the airport and switched on his phone. He was greeted with a flurry of missed calls and messages from his neighbors.

A Grim Picture

canva

They all painted a grim picture of what had happened while he and his family were away. His worst fears were confirmed – his house had been targeted, and whoever had taken action knew they weren’t home.

They had taken advantage of the family’s absence to carry out their nefarious plans. The messages conveyed a sense of urgency and desperation.

This indicated that the situation was far more severe than he had anticipated. David’s mind raced with questions, concerns, and fears as he prepared to face the unknown.

Going Without Backup

canva

Without wasting a moment, David contacted the local police, explaining the situation and seeking their assistance. 

He knew confronting whatever had happened could be dangerous, but waiting for the police wasn’t an option either. Armed with nothing but sheer determination, David headed to his home.

As David approached the house, he noticed that the front door was slightly open. A feeling of dread washed over him as he cautiously entered, his heart pounding in his chest. 

Deeper Into His House

canva

The eerie silence was only broken by the sound of his own footsteps echoing through the empty hallway.

He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong. 

Every inch of his being was on high alert as he slowly made his way deeper into the house, bracing himself for the worst.

Squatters

canva

He was met with a scene of chaos — furniture overturned, personal belongings strewn about. A group of squatters had taken over his home, exploiting the family’s absence. 

But instead of the violent confrontation he had braced for, David found himself engaging in a tense negotiation. He learned that the squatters were in dire straits, with nowhere else to go.

After several hours of intense negotiation, David was able to reach a resolution with the squatters through a delicate balance of empathy and firmness. 

Assisting Them

canva

He assisted them in finding a temporary shelter and promised to help them find more permanent solutions. 

In exchange for his help, the squatters agreed to vacate his home, leaving David to deal with the aftermath of the ordeal.

With the house finally secure and the problem resolved, David breathed a sigh of relief and set out to rejoin his family. 

Danger In The Shadows

However, little did he know that there was still danger lurking in the shadows. The orchestrator behind the entire ordeal was not finished yet and had something up their sleeve.

David took a flight to reach the new city where his family had arrived. The moment they saw each other, they were overwhelmed with emotions. 

Relief and joy mixed together, and the reunion became an emotional affair. Jocelyn and the kids listened to David’s story with awe as he recounted his harrowing ordeal. 

Rejoining His Family

canva

They were moved by the depth of his love and commitment to his family, and it made them appreciate him even more. But unfortunately, he had no idea that he hadn’t solved the problem. The vacation resumed, albeit with a newfound appreciation for the safety and security of their home. David thought that his swift action had saved their house from further damage.

Unfortunately, he was terribly wrong. It wasn’t until just a day later that Jocelyn got another notification. This one was undeniably unsettling. It was the same unknown number as before. But this time, it read, “It still isn’t safe. Your husband didn’t get the kingpin.”  

What were they referring to? Jocelyn’s blood went cold as she showed the message to David. But he still hadn’t thought of checking the doorbell camera just yet.

Not A Prank

Pexels

He could see the genuine fear behind her eyes, and that was when his heart began to race in his chest. What if it wasn’t a prank?

He thought back to the look on his neighbor’s face as he drove away from their home. He could tell that Lawrence was up to something sinister.

His gut feeling told him that something was seriously wrong. He knew he had to do something then and there, but he had no idea what awaited him.

He Had To Do Something

David could feel his heart sinking into his stomach. His wife had sent the number multiple texts in response, asking what had happened.

But the texts weren’t going through. David didn’t know what to do. They were halfway across the country from their home.

They sat silently for a few minutes as David’s mind raced. Was he supposed to call the cops? But just then, an idea came to mind.

Security Cameras

“The security camera,” He said suddenly and arose from the bed. He quickly made his way across the room, grabbing his phone.

“I can check the security cameras at home. If it’s something serious, I will hop on the first plane home, and I will handle it,” He promised.

David quickly opened an app on his phone, ready to see what the story was. But he was about to make a terrible discovery.

The Live Footage

The live footage buffered for a while as he anxiously waited to check on the security footage back home.

He knew that if something terrible had happened, Lawrence would be responsible. The older man was always staring at their yard.

The thought of him doing something to their home made David’s blood boil. Finally, the footage stopped buffering, but David couldn’t believe what he saw.

What Was He Looking At?

David frowned at the screen, trying his hardest to make out what he was looking at. But then, he realized.

It was the camera that looked out over their driveway, but it wasn’t pointed in the right direction. Instead, it was pointed at the dark night sky.

Some had tampered with the camera. He quickly switched to a camera on the side of the house, but he was not prepared for what he would find.

Tampered With

The second camera also appeared to be pointed at the sky rather than the side of their house. David was sick with worry.

Joslyn instantly noticed the worry behind her husband’s eyes. “What’s going on?” She asked, but when he told her, she couldn’t believe it.

“Someone tampered with the cameras,” he said, switching between the four cameras around the house. Each one was pointed toward the sky.

Action Plan

For that entire night, David struggled to get any sleep. He lay beside his wife, his eyes wide with fear.

He thought of an action plan. The very next day, he was going to call the security company and ask them to readjust the cameras.

As soon as they awoke the next morning, the small family piled into the car and began driving toward their next destination. That was when he decided to call.

An Inspection

“Are you sure you don’t want to turn the car around and go back home?” His wife asked, sitting behind the steering wheel while he dialed the number.

“And disappoint and scare the kids? No. I’m going to ask these guys to check it out. If everything seems fine, we keep going,” He said.

As soon as the security guys answered the phone, he explained the situation. They promised to inspect the house and reset the cameras.

A Call

Later that day, as they were approaching their destination, David received a call from the security company.

They explained that everything seemed fine around the house and that the cameras had been reset to their original positions.

David let out a sigh of relief. “See, honey. It must’ve been some neighborhood kids messing around,” He said. But his life was about to take a sudden turn.

Blood Ran Cold

They were excited to spend quality time with their kids and relax in the serene surroundings. But David kept thinking of his conversation with Lawrence.

However, what they didn’t know was that their peaceful retreat would be quickly interrupted by their next-door neighbor’s rude behavior.

Finally, the couple made it to the place that David looked forward to the most – their chalet. They unpacked their bags and lounged by the pool.

Exciting And Beautiful Journey

They had spent multiple days on the road at this point, visiting all kinds of exciting and beautiful places.

The kids were overjoyed, and David had never seen his wife so relaxed before. But that was all about to change with one simple phone call.

The kids had already been to Disneyland, but now it was David’s turn to unwind. But as they sat around the pool, his phone started ringing. If only he had known what was about to happen.

Phone Started Ringing

David ignored it. He thought that someone was calling him, but then he realized the tone was different.

He just wanted to enjoy his vacation, But then he realized that the ringing was a security alert. David’s blood ran cold.

They even received a notification from their ring camera showing their neighbor doing something unspeakable. That was the last straw.

Leaving It To Their Company

Canva

David had always been a cautious man. He had installed the best security systems in his house and made sure that every possible entry point was secure.

However, he had been getting some strange vibes lately. He felt like someone was watching him, and although he couldn’t put his finger on it, he knew something was off.

He called his security company to confirm that they could go to his premises and check it out. After an hour, he got an update.

Lawrence In His House

The security company had checked the property, and no one was around. However, there was evidence someone had been there.

He felt a shiver up his spine. Who was looking around his house? But then he remembered something. He could check the doorbell camera. Maybe he’d see the suspect?

He quickly checked the footage, and what he saw made him beyond angry. The face he saw on the camera was none other than Lawrence’s.

Blood Boiling

Canva

Lawrence was his neighbor. What was he doing on their property? He felt his blood start to boil. Lawrence clearly didn’t know he had a camera setup. He muttered to himself, “These rich folks, they don’t deserve it,” As he tried the door handle.

David couldn’t believe it. He felt betrayed and violated. He immediately called Lawrence to confront him about it.

Lawrence didn’t answer his calls. David knew that Lawrence had been having some financial troubles and had been eyeing David’s property for a while now.

Broken In

David was furious. He knew how hard it was to be in a tough financial situation. However, he couldn’t let this go.

He reported the incident to the authorities and told them about his plan to get his neighbor back. They liked his brand of revenge.

David had reviewed all the footage in his house and learned that Lawrence had not only gotten into their house but had tried to steal from the safe.

Taking Matters Into Their Own Hands

Canva

Joselyn and David knew they had to take matters into their own hands. The couple decided to make sure Lawrence would never touch their property again.

Joselyn didn’t want to cause any harm, but David was determined to teach their neighbor a lesson. It became an obsession for him.

Luckily for them, the neighbor had no idea who David was. He spent the next few days obsessing over creating something that would stop them once and for all.

Creating Something

Canva

The vacation was already ruined by what they had seen, and David was resourceful. He started making something that would make their neighbor regret everything.

Joselyn watched her husband descend deeper into madness as his creation took form. It was a work of art, but it was also scary.

David had left the chalet to buy some supplies, including wood, electronics, and steel. He was an engineer, after all, but Lawrence didn’t know that.

Coming Home

Canva

A few days later, the couple arrived home. David had arranged for the police to wait for him to use his new device, then they would detain him.

Lawrence definitely didn’t expect to see them home so soon. He didn’t know what was coming.

David’s creation was complete, and it was a masterpiece. They drove up the highway and saw movement in the house. David had to be quick.

Setting It Up

Canva

David jumped out of his car and sprinted towards the place Lawrence had come through – the kitchen window. He had to plant the device before his neighbor got out.

Thankfully, David was fit when Lawrence was not. He got to the window and placed the contraption underneath.

The neighbor didn’t want to stay trespassing, so he got desperate. He hopped out of the window, and that was when David heard the crackle of his device. “Wait, I have a message for you,” Lawrence said in desperation. “I’ve never liked you and your money.”

Grinning Ear-To-Ear

Canva

David stood grinning ear-to-ear. He ignored the man’s ranting. His device had worked perfectly. He had called it the Man Trap for a reason.

It was clear that it was good at its job. He made the signal, and sirens blasted a moment later.

The police came out of their vehicles and surrounded Lawrence, but he was in a sorry state. But it wasn’t undeserved.

Begging For Forgiveness

Canva

The neighbor was begging for forgiveness, but it was too late. He was lying on the ground, caught in a makeshift contraption.

The device had not only tangled legs in rope but also covered him in confetti, glue, and feathers. David had taught him a lesson he would never forget.

The police would see the rest of the process. Lawrence tried talking his way out of the situation, but the cops put it into perspective.

Used An Appropriate Amount Of Force

Canva

“Your neighbor is clearly crazy if he can make a device like this, but feel lucky. If you’re trespassing on his property, he’s allowed to use much greater force,” The cop lifting him up said as he tapped his holster.

It showed some kind of camaraderie between David and the cops. They had a sense of humor and enjoyed watching someone get what they deserved.

They freed Lawrence from the trap and hauled him away into their squad car. Two cops stayed behind to make a statement.

Nothing Was Lost

Canva

David walked inside with the two officers and cataloged everything that Lawrence had brazenly taken over the weeks that they were gone. It included expensive things like jewelry and the pettiest things.

Lawrence had even stolen silverware. But David wasn’t worried. It was worth it to trap him.

The police conducted a search of Lawrence’s house and managed to find most of the Beck family’s possessions. Lawrence went to jail and sold his house. It seemed that no one would mess with David and the police he had made friends with.
