Checkmate
By: Lily Evans and Matt Lee
Chapter 5
Now, Sora was thoroughly spooked. She had two choices. She could keep on giving Matt the silent treatment and run the risk of him finding out they suspected him, or she could start talking to him and run the risk of blabbing it out. She didn't like either suggestion so she called Izzy to talk it out a bit more.
"Can't I do anything else?" she asked, desperately.
"No," he answered. "You either talk to him, or you don't. There really isn't any other option."
She sighed. She knew he was right. There wasn't anything else she could do. All of a sudden she had a sudden idea.
"Izzy! What if we had someone stay with him while he's with me? So I'm in no particular danger."
"No!" Sora was confused. He DID want to keep her safe, didn't he?
"Are you trying to get me killed or something?" she yelled. "Cause that's what it seems like!" Izzy stood up at that moment so suddenly Sora visibly flinched.
"Are you insane!?" he screamed back at her. "Why would I want to get you killed!?"
"Maybe you and Matt are in this together?"
Izzy didn't have a reply to this. He grabbed his laptop and stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Sora was left with one question: What was that about?
~*~
Sora called Mimi a half an hour later to tell her all about her argument with Izzy. Mimi was now totally afraid for her friend's safety. Mimi now made a pact to stay with Sora almost everywhere she went. It was annoying, but Sora appreciated it.
They both kept running over things. There were now only seven Digidestine left and one of them ("Or two," Sora suggested) was a murderer. It wasn't really safe to hang around their friends anymore. On one of their 'meetings' over lunch Mimi brought up the original problem.
"Why does our murderer person keep leaving that stupid piece of paper?"
"I don't know," Sora admitted. "But it must be some kind of clue." Sora frowned. It didn't make sense. What did it mean?
~*~
Izzy was having the same problem, but he was running it over with TK.
"What's up with that piece of paper?"
TK looked up from the sandwich he was eating. "No one can figure it out if you can't."
"I think Sora might be on to something, just maybe," Izzy said, frowning. "Though, she's not giving her info to anyone."
TK frowned. "I don't think so, she would've told you, or…" he didn't finish, Matt had just walked by. Izzy realized this too.
"Do you think he heard us?"
TK swallowed. "I sure hope not."
~*~
Mimi was sitting at home, the same conversation she had with Sora at lunch in her head. Why DID the murderer keep leaving the clue? Was it really all that important? Did the murderer want to be caught? She never really got to finish that thought. Her phone rang so she rushed to pick it up, hoping it was Sora with an answer.
Caller ID said it was Sora. She answered, but it wasn't Sora calling with good news.
"MIMI!" she yelled, Mimi nearly dropped the phone. "I know who killed everyone, he's here now! He's going to kill me!"
"SORA!" Mimi screamed. She knew she couldn't do anything to help her friend. "Who is it?" There was no answer. Mimi's eyes grew wide. She knew Sora's intentions were good, but now the murderer knew Mimi must know something Sora knew by now. He would be coming to get her.
Mimi hung the phone up, then quickly picked it up again. She dialed the first number that came to her head: Izzy's. She quickly hung up again. She couldn't trust anyone anymore, not even her boyfriend. The only thing she could do was lock her windows and doors and pray she would see tomorrow.
To Be Continued…
YAY! One or two more chapters to go! We'll be done soon. I hope you enjoyed it!
