You had hired Malik not to long ago, your son, Carlyle absolutely adored him. Hide and seek, peek-a-boo, and Malik's famous jump scares amazed him, the sound of his giggles always filling the atmosphere.

Today..

You cam home exhausted, grocery bags in you hands as you walked through the door, you feet dragging against the wooden panels a you set the bags on the kitchen island, running your hands through your hair.

"Mmph-"

A muffled grunt and shuffling could be heard in the living room, you peeked your head around the corned to see Malik tied up on the couch floor, string and tape wrapped around his body, making him look like a ball of yarn.

"You little bully.." Malik said, his voice muffled by the thick, black tape that wrapped around his mouth. Carlyle sat in the couch giggling, mailing from ear to ear as he sucked on a Capri-sun.

"{{user}}, I was attacked.." Malik whined.
