I took the first shift, since I had absolutely no desire to sleep. Not after all that happened; more than half of it being my fault alone.
Our last standing officer, along with the boys, brought all the mattresses downstairs to the living room so that we were all sleeping in the same area. Sebastian and Grayson each occupied a couch, while everyone else laid on the mattresses.
I've never seen Grayson before but I just noticed that he looks so familiar! It's like I've seen him before somewhere; also somewhere recent. Any ways, I let it pass because the last thing I need to be thinking about is irrelevant things.
I made myself some coffee and added extra sugar so I could stay awake for as long as possible. I took out my laptop to "sign in" to the police department so I can see how the investigation into Mr. Blake's murder is going. The best thing anyone ever did was make soft copies of everything; they make life so much easier.
Wow! In one month more than 50 homicides took place, 20 arsons, 12 kidnappings and 7 suicides. Wow, they've been busy.
Scrolling down to last month's investigations, I finally find the file number I'm looking for.
File Number: 837474
*Victim: Blake James Cameron
*Age: 23
*D.O.B: February 14, 1992
*Blood type: O-
*Height: 6'4
*C.O.D: Multiple stab wounds and one blunt force trauma to the head
*Missing Items: Teacher ID
*Weapon: Serrated knife and Spectrophotometer
*Suspects: No suspects
*Case: Cold Case
The case as of 15/10/15 is considered a cold case because of failure to bring forth any incriminating evidence linking any number of suspects to the crime. The case will be opened once decisive evidence is brought to light.
What? No! His death can't be in vain!! Well of course they won't care about him; he's just another case for them! He was a human being! He was something in his community for crying out loud! He was a husband and a father, but apparently to them he's just a cold case.
No.
I'm going to use whatever skills I have to find out who killed him. Well, right after I find out who is trying to kill me.
I decided to catch up with some homework and light reading since my SATs were presumably in February. I was halfway through a calculus online test when my phone dinged.
It was a message from a classmate of mine; Cindy Allen.
C: Hey Alexis! I haven't seen you or your beautiful group of people since Brad got suspended. Is everything ok?! Are the rumours true? Did he really send you guys on a one way trip to Mars??
A: Hey Cindy. Lol no. No such thing happened. We just took an early break. :) did we miss anything important?
C: Nope. All the teachers gave us nothing either way. But OMG!! The chemistry lab was apparently broken into and they hurt Mr. Luke!! I'm assuming he's in the hospital because he didn't come to school ever since Brad got suspended as well.....ð¤ð¤ð¤
A: What?! How can that happen again?!!? Is everyone ok?ð¨ð¨ð¨
C: ya no one else got hurt. But oh well. I gotta go now cuz we're traveling to London for the break and I gotta go pack :) nice talking to you!! Please say hi to Jaycee for me ð¬ð
A: Ohh niicceee!! Okaayy have a safe trip!!! Lol I'll tell him that for yaâ¤ï¸â¤ï¸ððð
This school seriously needs to step up its security game. Dang. Thanks a lot Cindy, now I lost the will to study. Ugh. I laid back on the chair, staring at the ceiling.
Before I knew what was going on,I started dozing off, all the while convincing myself that it'll only for a few short minutes.
Only a while.
Just a few seconds.
I woke up abruptly because of a tingling sensation at the pit of my stomach. I woke up to an orchestra of snores coming from the 6 gentlemen sprawled in weird positions.
I looked around me, sensing that something is undeniably wrong. I look at my friends, all of them sleeping peacefully.
Then I looked at the clock. I slept for an hour! An entire 60 minutes?! No wonder I felt dread!
This time I won't sleep, I thought. I realized that Jaycee and Jace still didn't show up so I pulled out my phone to call them. It went straight to voicemail without even ringing. I called Jace; exact same thing. I became very worried, and the feeling in my stomach grew stronger. Something doesn't fit right, something is completely off. I can't point out what it is exactly, but I could feel it in the air around me.
Between the snoring and the sound of complete silence; that's when I heard it. A crackling sound.
No. No. No. No.
I must've heard wrong, because no way would a fire start in the middle of nowhere; not without a proper and valid reason.
Not without someone on a killing rampage to start it.
I went the the windows to look outside. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. The river was flowing smoothly, the rain is now at a steady pace and the trees lightly swayed to the rhythm of the wind.
I was about to close the window when something caught my eye at the last minute.
Behind the trees a few miles away, was a well hidden car. Or should I say, a rusted old pick up truck. My whole body went numb. What on earth is going on and who the hell are these people?!
So they really do stick to their words; it really wasn't over.
I don't care what happens now, I'm getting us the hell out of here. Before I could even gather up the courage to wake them up; I saw it with my own eyes before I even smelled it.
There was a fire, and it started from the back; the place where the window was broken and the blood trail stood.
"GUYYSSS!!!!! GUYS WAKE UP NOW!! WAKE UP NOW!!!! There's a fire!!!!!" I screamed waking half of them up.
"What the hell is go- OH MY GOD!!!! EVERYONE WAKE UP!!!!" Yelled Officer Dean with me!
Everyone was up on their feet in seconds; literally. We were running in the direction of the fire, trying to put it out. When Grayson, Jayden and I got there, it hadn't spread everywhere yet.
We got water and tried to put it off, inhaling a lot of fumes in the process. We were running back and forth trying to stop it from spreading.
"We need more water." Coughed Officer Dean, throwing a bucket full of water on the non ending fire.
The smell of the fire was very strange; it smelled like the inside of a chemistry lab.
"Jayden! I just remembered that we have 2 fire extinguishers in the van! Let's go get them." Said Grayson.
"I can't leave Alexi alone, you go and get them!" Said Jayden before he disappeared to get more water.
With both officers away to get some means of putting this off, I went to see wha the others were doing.
"Sebastian I said NO!" I heard Brenda scream
"But ba--" he started before he was cut off...
"You're not going to help anyone while in this state!! I need to keep you alive until we can get the hell out of this hell hole! NOW LIE DOWN BEFORE I SEDATE YOU AND STRAP YOU TO THIS COUCH!" She yelled at him, scaring all of us.
Sebastian's eyes and mouth were wide open, before he complied.
Don't get me wrong, she's my best friend and I love her, but sometimes she scares me more than my mom.
"Damn it the doors are locked!" I heard Jayden say.
"What do you mean they're locked! Isn't the van in the garage?!" I asked, getting a little nervous.
"Yes!"
We ran to the door leading to the garage but it was also locked. The inner MacGyver in me woke up and I took 2 bobby pins from my head and started to randomly pick it; praying to God that it opens.
A long and agonizing minute later, I was able to open it and we were both rushing to get the fire extinguishers to Jayden.
"Alexis, I need you to tell everyone to pack their things right now. We need to leave this place right away."
"But Jayce and Jace aren't here yet! We can't leave them behind."
"As long as they're not in the house, it's ok; we'll find them." He said; turning to give the remainder of the fire his full attention.
"Ok guys we need to pack our stuff because we're leaving right now!!" I yelled as I came towards them.
"Already ahead of you Lexi!!" I heard Sabrina say as she was descending the stairs.
"I packed all the girls' stuff while Aaron and Ashton packed the guys' stuff. CJ went to get us snacks from the kitchen and we can be on our way! Just help me get these to the garage." I love my friends; we're all little detectives.
We took the bags to the trunk and rushed to help CJ was literally took everything in the kitchen.
"What?! Even if we're gonna die we still need to eat." He said, his mouth half full with tortilla chips.
We packed a lot of water, crisps, mainly all the junk food, pizza, some cut up veggies, yoghurt, milk and biscuits.
We got everything to the van where Brenda was helping Sebastian get inside. While we were packing everything, both officers came running.
"Good thinking everyone. We just need to fuel up, and we'll be on our way!" Said Officer Dean.
We all got inside, making sure to get everything we needed before finally starting the car.
We were five minutes away from the house when I decided to call Jaycee one more time.
I find one voicemail, but I decided to get back to it after I make this call.
I dialled his number, praying to God that it doesn't go to voicemail. This time it did ring, but for some reason my stomach did a weird summersault. After the 4th ring, someone answered.
That someone wasn't Jaycee.
That someone wasn't Jace.
That person sounds like the voice of authority.
"Hello?" They said.
"Uh hello? Who is this?" I said, dread taking over my entire body.
"Uh this is Officer McMillan, do you know the owner of this phone?" He said; his voice steady but very ominous.
"Y-yes he's my friend! Is everything ok??" I practically screamed
"What's going on??" Asked Aaron.
I lifted up my finger to him; pleading with him to wait.
"I'm sorry to say this ma'am..." started the officer.
My rib cage was closing in on my heart, constricting my lungs; leaving me breathless.
"...but there's been an accident involving this car." He continued. Tears were streaming down my face uncontrollably; blinding my vision.
".....the people who were in this it are in a very very critical condition."
AN: Bu-Dum-Tssssss
My heart hurts. A lot. My poor babiesðððð
