Chapter 14

.

By the morning of October 30th all of Woodsboro Highschool knew that two or three of the sheriff's deputies had raped and murdered several young girls, and that Amy seemed to be the sole survivor. But the question was, why would they murder Hanson's own daughter, it didn't seem to make sense. Greg wasn't in school today, after his girlfriend was brutally murdered, and now his father arrested and likely heading for Death Row. Suprisingly Mary was here, despite her own father being arrested. Some still looked at her with suspicion, as if she might have somehow planned this whole thing as some sort of twisted revenge against her father's past sins. Kalil stood by Mary, so did Christina. It was times like this that people realized who their true friends were. The three of them planned to go to the hospital after school to make sure that Amy was okay. In the meantime they were discussing the situation at lunch.

.

Kalil: I'm sorry about your father Mary.

Mary: That man is not by father. What's it called when a child disowns their parent?

Kalil: I think it's still called disowning.

Mary: That's what I'm doing. I hope they all rot, first in prison then in Hell. They decided whether I would live or die based on whether I could answer a trivia question.

Christina: What was the question?

Mary: Who was the killer in the first "Friday the 13th" movie? Thankfully I knew it was Jason.

Christina: It wasn't Jason.

Kalil: It wasn't?

Christina: No, it was his mother. Jason didn't actually appear until the sequal.

Kalil: My older brothers showed me these movies when I was a small child, to frighten and torment me. They all kind of blend together to me.

Mary: So if I got the question wrong, why did he let me live?

Christina: I'm not sure. Maybe this killer is your father. He threatened you to throw suspicion off of you and himself. Or maybe it has to do with what happenned 20 years ago.

Kalil: So this girl waits 20 years to enact her revenge.

Mary: That assumes that my father was telling the truth when he said he didn't kill her.

Christina: Let's assume he was for the sake of this theory. Three guys raped her, she could have gotten pregnant. Assuming she chose to have the baby...

Mary: That means I have a big brother or sister out there killing their children. Which again begs the question of why I was spared.

Christina: Didn't you say the killer asked you to let someone take your place in danger?

Mary: Yeah, asked if I wanted to put myself in danger, or Jill.

Christina: What if that was the real test? What if it's a psychopath who believes theself judge, juror, and executioner?

Kalil: So they spared Mary because she wouldn't put another person in danger, and Amanda failed that test?

Mary: I guess in a twisted way, it makes sense. Which means the killer didn't abduct Amy, he helped save her.

Christina: This person isn't a serial killer, just a strong believer in retributive justice.

Mary: We've got to warn Greg, he's in as much danger as I am.

.

As Kalil began texting Greg about their theory, the whole school heard a noise. Deputies were searching everyone's lockers. It seemed that principle Bauer was also under the assumption that the serial killer was possibly a student at this school. They couldn't say for certain, but they weren't taking chances. Some students were annoyed at this invasion of their privacy, but Kalil seemed nervous.

.

Mary: What's wrong?

Kalil: There are just some things in my locker I'd rather the police not see.

Christina: Do you have any idea how suspicious that sounds.

Kalil: Yes, and it's too late now.

.

The police opened Kalil's locker, and found some pornography. The principle looked at this disapprovingly, but said nothing. They had bigger problems at the moment.
