In the town area of Leafton, Noah and Cody were arriving at the block where the town hall is located at. Noah and Cody were hiding behind a small wall that was near a coffee shop right across from the park. The two of them watched from the distance, as the police car with Izzy and MacArthur was driving around the block, trying to find this psycho.
"Izzy and MacArthur are still driving around?! But it's raining." Noah said, in a harsh whisper. Cody shrugs his shoulders, as he looked over to his best friend.
"I don't know. But I doubt we're going to be..." Cody said, before looking over to the direction of the town hall. "Oh shit...dude..." Cody points towards the town hall, causing Noah to look in that general location.
It was the person who has killed Duncan's friends. Duncan is the only one left, and Trent was killed when trying to defend Gwen, Geoff, and Shawn. What else could this person be doing right now? By the looks of it, all that the figure is doing is standing there, looking around, hanging out in a parking lot of a random store while it was closed.
Noah looks closer at the person, only to see that...from a distance...that there was another one of this guy. Noah's eyes widened at the sight of this from their spot. He then points at what was over there, looking over to Cody.
"Holy shit, dude. Do you see what I'm seeing right now?!" Noah asked, shocked. "This better be me seeing things because of the rain...but there's two of them?! How in the world is this possible?!" Cody stared at this sight too, before coming to the conclusion of something that felt amiss moments ago.
"Hold on a moment...I just realized something, dude..." Cody said, out loud. "Back there at the gas station, when me, you, Emma, and Kitty had the figure...when Gwen called us, it appeared that the killer got away from us a few minutes after we got word that Trent died." Noah raises an eyebrow as Cody continued. "The person who we saw back there...at the gas station, Alejandro's house is located at the other side of the neighborhood. He doesn't live where your house is. Sure, maybe...just maybe, he killed Alejandro before he or she came to us, but...by the looks of our town, and the moment Trent died...that would mean the person that we found when Emma had her bow and arrow focused on him...would probably take about thirty minutes to get to Alejandro's house. From the looks of the time on my watch, it only took ten minutes until the call about Trent being killed was received to us." Noah shook his head, looking down to the ground.
"Holy shit..." Noah mutters.
"I know..." Cody looked over to the two people who appeared to be talking to each other. "Not to mention, that would explain how you, Gwen, and Duncan didn't get attacked by the guy back when he...or she...was at Courtney's house, ready to go after her. Whoever it was who did that, must've either have been a complete coward, or...an idiot, really."
"How did I not see any of this before?" Noah looks over to Cody. "I don't think anyone's ever told you this, Cody...but damn, you're a genius." The boy nods his head, before looking out to the distance once more.
"So...now what? Is it safe to assume that Harold, Cameron, Sam, and the rest of their buddies are behind all of this? Because there's two of them now that we are seeing. Who knows if there's anymore of those guys around town." Noah held up his hands, as he turns over to Cody.
"Now hold on a minute, Cody...we can't jump to that conclusion just yet."
"I don't know who else it could be aside from Mike or Zoey. And they already confirmed to you that they had nothing to do with any of this." The brown-haired boy looks towards the parking lot again. "Unless they're lying, but I don't see that happening anytime soon."
The two looked out to the distance one more time, before noticing that the two figures out in the parking lot were now arguing about something. They could tell, because one of them was ready to punch the other one. One of them left the parking lot, heading off somewhere else to head off to, while the other one just stood there, heading the other direction.
"Did you hear them yell out anything?" Noah asked his best friend. Cody shook his head.
"I didn't hear anything." Cody said. "The rain was making it too hard to hear." Noah shook his head, annoyed.
"Damn it...of course they yell while it's raining as loudly as possible..." Noah then stood up out from behind the wall, looking down at Cody. "Well, it looks like me and you going after this guy...or, those guys will have to wait, if there's more of them, then going after them might actually be a terrible idea. I say we should head home so that we can try to get out of the rain already."
"What's a terrible idea?"
The two boys were startled when they heard the sound of Izzy's voice coming from right nearby them. Noah looks over to see that Izzy and MacArthur had their police car parked, right in front of them. Izzy had her head out the window, looking at the two boys, as MacArthur just stared at them from the driver seat. Noah and Cody kept the bats behind the wall so that the two don't end up realizing that they are out here trying to find the killer, or more than one of them anyway.
"What are you and Cody doing out here in the rain? Don't you know that you can get sick if you're out here for too long?" Izzy said. Noah held up his hands, as he walked up to the police car.
"I-It's alright. Me and Cody were...trying to get to our homes from...uh, AppleBees..." Noah said, clearly lying to the two of them. Izzy sat there, looking at Noah silently for a few seconds, before blinking a couple times.
"Jeez, guess the taxi cabs are not out tonight." Izzy then opens the back door of the police car for them so that they can get into it. "Come on. Me and MacArthur can bring you guys to your house. Where will it be, boys? Cody's house, or Noah's house?" Noah spoke up, getting into the back of the police car.
"Well...just my house. I actually have friends hanging out at my house already, and...we promised them we are about to go over there so that we can meet back up with my girlfriend, and his girlfriend."
"I'm not dating Kitty..." Cody said.
"Girlfriend or not, it's better than having them know that..." Noah looks at Izzy again. "...Just my house, please. Besides, it's been a hell of a night already." Izzy nods her head, as she turns on the radio.
"Then let's bring you guys home!" Izzy said, as she pointed out the window.
MacArthur started to drive the car off to Noah's house. Izzy turns up the radio up louder, allowing the song 'I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas to blast out the speakers of the car as they were driving along the rainy streets. Noah and Cody stared at Izzy, raising eyebrows at her, until she looked behind herself to notice them looking at her.
"What? I like this song." Izzy said, before looking forward at the streets ahead.
'Well...I'm lucky that my house is right nearby...so I don't have to be bothered by whatever else this girl would end up doing.' Noah said in his inner thoughts, as the police car is driving off to his house.
Note: My deepest apologies for this chapter being rather shorter than the rest of the chapters. I have things to end up doing after this chapter is out, so I have to put this one out the way it is. The one is going to be longer, so don't worry too much about chapters being shorter.
