Chapter 9

Nelson and Lisa descended the stairs the next morning hand-in-hand around nine o'clock. Nelson kissed her cheek swiftly saying a quick "I love you" before they made their way into the dining room for breakfast.

The Simpson family were all smiles when they seen the pair walk in hand-in-hand.

Bart held out his hand to his father who grumbled about something and passed his son a twenty-dollar note. "Told ya," Bart said, chuckling under his breath as he pocketed the cash. Lisa giggled and sat down next to Maggie who was munching on pancakes while Nelson sat down beside Bart.

"Dude, need to talk to you after breakfast." Bart nodded and the two engaged in the conversation throughout breakfast before excusing themselves and making their way outside half an hour later.

"So what's up?" Bart asked, sitting on the lawn chair. Nelson ran his hands through his hair and sighed.

"Lisa was moaning in her sleep all last night, dreaming about what happened. I don't think this is gonna go away like we want it to, man. I need to know who did it and fucking kill him." Bart watched his friend stride in front of him, confused about what he should do.

"Okay. So, how about we get sit down and think about this."

"Uh... hey guys," came a voice, and the two young men looked up to see Milhouse standing in Bart's yard. Nelson glared and Bart stood, getting between the two.

"Hey Milhouse. What's up?" Bart asked, obviously not interested at all.

"Uh, nothing much. Just haven't seen you in a while Bart. But Nelson's back now I see... Hey."

"Hey," Nelson replied, crossing his arms over his chest. Milhouse put his hands in his jacket pockets and looked to Bart.

"So, I'll see you later then?" Bart nodded and Milhouse walked off, leaving the two standing on the lawn.

"What was with that?" Nelson asked. Bart shrugged.

"Ever since Lisa pretty much told him to back off in her junior year he's been really weird. Not coming around as much or being really clingy, wanting to be with me or her all day everyday. He's kinda backed off a lot since he and Terri started dating, but what from I hear they're close to breaking up."

Nelson sighed. "So, where do we start?"

Half an hour later, the boys were on the porch of Sam McCloud, Lisa's prom date two years ago. He had been a senior at the time and had graduated and left for collage before Bart could talk to him. He was only home for the weekend, Bart had found out.

Bart knocked on the door and a minute later Sam appeared, his blonde hair and blue eyes making him obviously good looking in young girls eyes.

"Uh...hi?" he questioned.

"Sam? Bart Simpson, Lisa's brother."

"Oh yeah. Wow, that was ages ago wasn't it?" Sam chuckled nervously and Nelson glared.

"This is Nelson- Lisa's boyfriend. We came to talk to you."

"I figured you would have been here a lot sooner." Nelson grabbed Sam by the collar of his shirt and snarled.

"You fucking prick! What the fuck did you do to her!" Nelson shouted, Bart grabbing his arm and trying to pull him away.

"Nothin' dude! Nothin' at all!" Sam spluttered as Nelson let him go. "When I last seen Lisa she said she needed to go and get a drink and that was the last I seen her. I only heard about it from her sister the next day when she came and pretty much attacked me the same way you are now."

"What happened!"

"Just what I said. She said she was thirsty and a teacher had a question for me and she went by herself. I looked around for her, called her cell, even sent her e-mails the next day and I never got back in touch. I swear."

Nelson sighed and turned away from Sam, kicking at the ground. Bart breathed out heavily.

"Look, man, we're just trying to find out who attacked my sister. Do you know anything else that could help us?" Bart asked.

"Well, there was a guy hanging around. She seemed a little fazed by him, you know, cause he was watchin' her. I didn't think much of it cause I seen the guy leave right after that you know."

"This guy... what did he look like?"

"Uh..., I don't know. Sorry. I just remember he had a red rose in his suit pocket. Sorry guys. I really hope you find the guy."

The men said their goodbyes and Nelson and Bart set off back into town.

"A rose? That's all we have to go on? A fucking flower?"

"At least it's something." The faint shrill of a text message alerted Nelson and he grabbed his cell phone out.

"Oh fuck me."
