Peter, Sophie, the cliffhangers and the rest of the kids at Horizon watched as they pulled the body out of the water. Sophie looked away in discust and noticed all the kids starring in shock. Peter looked at her and nodded. Before they could tell everyone to go back to class, a police officer approached them.

" Mr. Scarbrow, any students that were out here last night we need to speak to and right away" The officer spoke accusingly.

" I hope you dont think any of these kids had anything to do with this?" Peter jumped.

" We are just covering every angle Mr. Scarbrow, we are just doing our jobs." The officer defended himself.

" Right." Peter said trying to calm down. " Sophie all the cliffhangers were out here last night when we had the barbecue, can you get everyone else back to class please" Peter asked. Sophie nodded her head.

" Cliffhangers please go to the lodge" Sophie called out to them. " Everyone else get back to class" She said worried about Peter and what was going to happen. Nobody was sure who this person laying lifeless in that body bag was but everyone knew something wasnt right.

The cliffhangers all turned and headed to the lodge.

" Remember what we said that night" Scott said angrily " Nobody says a word, stick to the story and we shouldnt have a problem" He angrily threw the door open to the lodge and went inside. He had been on edge ever since that night and he was snapping at everybody, he wouldnt even talk to Shelby.

She pulled him aside. " I know you probably dont want to talk to me right now because this is all my fault and if it werent for me none of us would be in this mess. So I just wanted to say i'm sorry, but i understand if you hate me" She said not looking him in the eye. Scott sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

" I'm sorry" Scott whispered. " All week I havent talked to you so i'm sorry, i'm just ..." Scott began.

" What, you can tell me Scott" Shelby said sweetly looking into his eyes.

" I'm scared" Scott whispered. He leaned his head against hers and sighed. This was the best he had felt all week, he should have known he could just talk to her about this. " But we can't tell any body you know that right," Scott asked her.

" Ya i know" Shelby said. " If any of us did we'd be in a lot of trouble"
