Wow, lotsa updates tonight...Gettin' closer to the end...
Chapter 4: Who Dunnit?
The night came and went. The crew of five got to work on the case, one day until Gina's predicted death. The team had done all the research they could and now sat down to think. Who was planning to kill Gina? The question on everybody's mind.
"I think it may be her dad." Vector said. "Maybe he'll get mad at her about what we told 'im and kill 'er in a drunken rage."
"Or, it could be Jack Potters." Espio said. "Getting rid of Gina could do wonders for his football scholarship he's bound to get."
"As well as make it easier for him to hide his drug secrets." Waffle said.
"Maybe we're going about this all wrong." Kaity suggested, "We haven't even bothered to consider Jared a suspect cause of his record."
"Well, yeah..."Vector agreed quietly
"Maybe he's jealous of Gina for some reason and wants her dead."
"And we're still assuming she actually is gonna be killed." Espio said.
"If she isn't, then it was still good experience." Vector shrugged. The conflict went on longer, each member putting in a reasonable argument.
Kaity stood up, "I'm gonna go see how Jared's doin'." Kaity said and left.
OoOoO
Kaity arrived at the school in a little bit. A bell rang just as she entered, she found Jared easily in the mob of kids leaving the building for the day. He held a paper in his hand, he looked upset.
"Hey Jared." Kaity smiled a fake smile.
"Oh...hey." Jared said gloomily.
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't get an A on my test...I got a B-." he sighed. Kaity could feel her heart suddenly stop, remembering Gina's prediction.
"Where's Gina now?" she asked.
"I dunno, she never showed up to school today." By now, the school hall was empty, Jared walked passed Kaity and out to the buses. But Kaity stayed in her spot, thinking about the case. Most of what Gina had predicted was coming true according to what they knew. Longer she stood there; something didn't add up, it was in front of her, she knew it! She stopped her deep thinking when quiet chanting seemed to echo through the empty halls. Regaining her senses, Kaity invisibly stood against a locker as hooded figures walked down the hall, chanting in Old Mobian. She knew a little, what she did pick up was 'accept our sacrifice'. Kaity waited until they had gone and dashed out of the school and back to the agency.
OoOoO
Kaity slammed open the door of the agency startling Espio and Vector out of a heated argument of how someone could predict something. "Call Gina." Kaity panted. "See if she's home." No one moved for a moment. "Now!" Kaity commanded. Vector scrambled over to the phone, not wanting to see what Kaity would do. He quickly punched in the number and waited for someone to pick up. Vector hung up after a minute of waiting.
"Answering machine." Vector explained.
"Oh no...Guys, get down to the school! Somethin' weird's goin' on." Kaity said and rushed off out the door. Night was settling over Station Square as the four detectives raced toward the Station Square High School.
What's with the hooded guys? What's goin' on at the school? Will we ever find out!?
