Hello everyone. Sorry but it's been awhile so this chapter might be rusty, however, I think you'll like it. Before you read I must tell you that the seperators are merely seperating Riza actions from Roy's however what they both are doing is happening at the same time (I hope that made sense) Anyway, I'll give you info before you begin: Riza and Roy have just found the scalpal but it's not their place to search his room, however, they do it anyway to find more evidense against him to take him in for questioning. So, Riza and Roy split up so that they both can find an entrance into the school (since it's locked) and then meet up later. This chapter just basically tells you what each of them are doing to get inside and what do once they're inside.
I hope you enjoy -cause I tried to make it suspenseful.
Riza crouched under the grove of bushes that surrounded the entrance of the school's gym, however, there weren't any doors left unlocked or overlooked.
"Damn." She cursed, under her breath, as she tucked a golden strand of her hair behind her ear. Riza popped her head up again and walked casually from the sodden soil to the sullen wet pavement. She was beginning to get aggravated with her no-luck streak.
If she was ever to get anywhere, she needed find an entrance into the school somehow and look around for clues but with Roy already patrolling the courtyard, she doubted there could be any way in the school's back streets.
As she leaned against the brick of the gym's outer wall, she remained quietly contemplative, still allowing her mind to run rampant of angry thoughts and explicative language.
Roy had told her it would've been best if they had split up and found an entrance on their own (since all of the doors to get inside of the school were locked) but what he didn't understand was the risks that were involved when "meeting back up". It was their job to get in, go to his room and search for more evidence to support their suspect theory on Mr. Wischire.
"You stupid, stupid man." Riza growled to herself. She lifted her body off of the brick wall and began to walk until she saw the cafeteria to her far left –she had neglected to check there yet.
The courtyard proved to be a useless piece of sod. Besides the occasional daisy sprout or tulip beds that intricately decorated the school's main office entrance, there were no gardener sheds or any other way to get into the building.
"It may be against the law to trespass but what makes this worse is that I'm supposed to uphold this law." He mused himself as he untangled his feet from an enormous weed. Roy bent down to rip it out of the ground before he noticed to his right a wooden shed, located directly beneath a group of bushes that neatly formed the inter circle of holly bushes, surrounding the office entrance.
Roy slapped the back of his lightly, whispering amongst himself, Why didn't you see this before?
He finally figured that what he had stumbled upon was a large underground janitor shed and what excited him more was that there were no locks preventing his entering…
Riza fell through a vent and landed on the flat of her back. A hot pain stabbed through her loin as she tried to regain her composure but instead she just laid quietly from where she fell.
Darkness bathed the entire cafeteria except for the windows that poured the street lamp's light in. From where she lay, she looked at all the colorful tiles around her and searched for an exit. To her far left, there was door and it shined with flood lights.
After long moments, Riza tried to stand again and when she did, her back ached tremendously with each step she attempted to take.
"Oh…" She held herself against a chair and then started to walk again, ignoring the pulsating reverberations through her body.
Damn, Riza thought, I didn't think I hit that hard.
She pushed through the exit doors and began to make her way down the hallway. Her boots clicked on the floor and she tried to be discreet, however, whenever she did so she almost lost her balance and fell. Riza then found the corridor curving and she pushed through another set of doors.
It wasn't all too surprising to enter into the familiar hallway her and Roy were recently walking through today but this time the flood lights were dimmer and a few blinked every once in awhile. Further down the hall was Mr. Wischire's room. Her eyes narrowed.
Riza traced her fingertips along the pistol in her pocket the closer she approached the open doorway. A bright light fell onto the floor whenever she turned the knob and walked in.
It was the same old classroom. It was the same old desk and it was the same old lamp lit in the corner, however, it was an empty room. No on stood or sat but a backpack still laid in the seat of desk in the front row. Riza walked over to it carefully, cautiously scanning all that surrounded her. Nothing out the ordinary happened but whenever she stepped over the tessellated decorative rug in the center of his room it fed off a very hollow sound… Her eyes looked underneath her feet and she gave her boot a kick again. Another hollow thud echoed. Riza reached down and ripped over the rug and revealed a hatch door.
Roy felt his way around inside the damp disguised janitor shed. Water dripped and the passage was completely engulfed in darkness. He had no idea which way was leading in and which was leading out. Fear wasn't biting at his heels instead; anxiety was ripping at his ankles. He tried several time to snap his finger to spark a flame, however, he couldn't change the composition in the soggy oxygen.
"Hello?" He yelled. Roy heard his voice echo a long way before disappearing. There was no way, he thought, that this was a janitor's shed, or a gardener's closet. No way.
Riza tapped her fingers on it's surface and searched for a way to find to open it however she noticed a shadow hovering above her. It was too late for her to retaliate…
The shadow slung his hands, hitting her head with the bell of his thick, heavy metal flashlight. Riza's body slumped over on the floor. Blood started to poor from her wound and Mr. Wischire chuckled faintly. He grabbed her and slung her body over his shoulders.
He opened the hatch boor and descended below…
Well...I hope that was somewhat exciting :)
Sorry for the long...LONG, awaited update :( but it was good, right? Comments are always appreciated!
