I'm going to try and update this more regularly...lets see if that happens lol. There's going to be quite a few more chapters till its done and I'm gonna make sure I finish it. Okay enough talking, enjoy this chapter ;) oh! one more thing. Thanks for everyone who has reviewed so far. Yall have made my day :)
***********************************************
"So Kes, whats your take on the fight? What happened exactly?" Peter asked, cutting to the chase.
"Um...," she said, fidgeting in her seat and looking at the ground. She really didn't want to have to say anything, because then there would be more questions, followed by more questions, and so on. She was barely able to keep it together now, what would happen when Peter pried too much?
"It's okay Kes. I just need to know what happened because fighting is definitely not allowed at Horizon, and since I'm getting several different stories, I need you to tell me what happened so I can take the proper course in punishment."
"Well...um...Rick started talking to me. And...he said some stuff to me...," Kes quietly said.
"What kind of stuff did he say Kes?"
"Just some words..ya know," Kes said nervously. Please don't push this Peter, she thought. Unfortunately for her, he did.
"Kes I need to know what words were said for Auggie to react like he did and a fight to break out. Now please tell me what he said," Peter said trying to sound as quiet and calm as possible so as to not scare Kes any more then she already was.
"He...he...I can't. Rick will be so mad at me," Kes whispered quietly.
Peter went over to where Kes was sitting and kneeled on the ground so he was eye level with her.
"Kes, please tell me what he said."
"I can't!" she yelled, surprising Peter and herself. She jumped out of her chair and ran out the door, almost ramming into Sophie who was coming back into Peter's office.
"Whoa! Should I go get her?" Sophie asked Peter.
"No...let her go," he sighed and went over to his desk and sat down.
"Care to tell me what happened mountain man?" Sophie questioned as she went over to Peter and massaged his back.
"I asked Kes what happened between Auggie and Rick that led to their 'fight'. She said that Rick said some things but when I asked she clammed up. I guess I pressured her too much because then she ran out, as you just saw. I wonder what happened to make her so upset," he said feeling frustrated.
"I think there is much more between Rick and Kes then we know, and I have a feeling none of it is good."
"Yeah. There was something else that Kes said..she said that she couldn't tell me what happened because Rick would be mad at her. What ever happend between them, at Horizon and before then, has definitely made her scared of him. I think she has opened up to Auggie some but if only she'd tell us. I can't do anything about Rick since we have no evidence of him doing anything wrong, other then fighting which he has shuns for."
"I guess we'll just have to keep a close watch on Kes and Rick and make sure they don't interact too much," Sophie suggested. "Tomorrow we can try and get some information from the other kids, but for now you are going to sleep mister," She said kissing Peter.
"My mind is too awake to sleep even though my body is about to fall over."
"Well since your body is so tired, guess I'll have to make sure you get home okay," she said winking at Peter.
"I guess so," Peter smiled. "After campus check though."
"Of course," Sophie smiled back.

Hmmm...what happens next?!? Yeah not much of a cliffhanger lol but the next chapter will be a doozy! I think...hehe ::shrugs shoulders::
