AN: This is the big reveal! Sorry it's short, but I couldn't think of anything else to write!
Now, chapter 20...
:::::::
The rest of the week went along really slowly for the eight friends. They couldn't wait to find out who the stalker was once and for all. They wanted to put him away forever. When Friday finally came, the eight were overjoyed. It was the day that they would bust the pervert, or at least get closer to it. They could barely sit still in their classes. When the bell to end the school days rang, they each ran out of their classes as quickly as possible.
;;;;;;;
Prue made her normal rounds to pick everyone up. They all agreed to go to the park again, for it would be a safer place to talk. They didn't want their parents knowing what they were doing. They discussed the plan at the park. "Won't it be, like, breaking the law to go into the school?" Piper asked. She hated breaking the rules. "Yes, it is, Piper. But, would you rather the bastard murder one of us?" Prue asked sternly. She still felt guilty about the deaths of Paige's parents, and she wanted to try her best to make herself accept it and try to tell herself that it really wasn't her fault. "You guys, should we split up, or stay together?" Glenn asked. "I think we should stick together. There is power in numbers." Andy stated. "And, you older four will be the guides, right? 'Cause, I mean, we don't know our way around." Billy said, indicating the younger four. "Of course we'll direct everyone. I mean, we wouldn't want anyone getting lost, or accidentally tripping an alarm." Leo said. "Which is why I took THIS from the office." Prue said, pulling out a piece of paper. "It is a list of all the alarms in the school. This way, we won't accidentally trip one." "Yay, Prue! I see you're taking a leaf out of my book." Phoebe said proudly. "Yeah, you would steal, wouldn't you?" Paige said, nudging Phoebe with her elbow.
;;;;;;;
That night, at around eleven, the eight went to Baker High. It was storming, but they didn't care. When they reached the side door, Paige pulled out her flashlight. "Paige, why did you take that? The lights are going to be on in the school." Andy said, staring queerly at the flashlight. "I know that, but I'm not going in there without my lucky flashlight. I mean, it saved my life. I want to have it in case there is any trouble." Paige stated simply. "Okay, you do that, then." Phoebe said, trying poorly to suppress a giggle. "Okay, guys, are you ready for this?" Prue asked. She got six nods and a wave of a flashlight. "Okay, let's get this over with." Piper said, and opened the door.
;;;;;;;
Inside, the lights were on, just as Andy said they would be. "You were actually right about something, Andy." Billy said. "Shush, guys, there might be a security guard." Piper said nervously. She REALLY didn't want to get into trouble. "Okay, where should we start?" asked Glenn. "Well, we should probably do my teachers first. I mean, they would have the most contact with me." Prue stated, and headed to her first period classroom, with the others following.
When they entered, they saw that the room was exactly as it should be. It had papers on the floor, and the teacher's desk was messy. The group searched for a while, but they couldn't find anything suspicious. "Okay, on to the next room." Prue stated, leaving the classroom.
;;;;;;;
They searched two more classrooms in the next half hour. "I'm getting tired of the dead ends!" Phoebe said with disgust. "Oh, Pheebs, can you just calm down? You're being so impatient." Prue snapped. She was getting frustrated also. "Okay, Prue, so am I." Piper said. "Can I see today's poem? Maybe it will give us a clue to who is behind this." Piper said, holding out her hand. "But I already read it to you guys." Prue stated. "Well, I didn't hear it." Piper said with a bit of impatience. "Fine." Prue said, and handed her the poem. Piper read it, and didn't find anything to help.
She was handing it back to Prue when she froze, her mouth and eyes wide open. "Oh my God." Piper said, dropping the piece of paper. "What?!?" Prue said. Piper was the smartest one there, and she hoped she had found a clue. Piper began muttering nonsense. "Poem... Paige... police... attack... homework... holy crap!" Piper shouted the last part. She then turned and ran down the hall. The others, though confused, followed her. Piper stopped in front of one of the freshman classrooms.
"Can you explain, please?" Glenn asked, staring at Piper and catching his breath, just like everyone else. "Don't you see?" she said, turning to Leo. "Doesn't this seem familiar to you? I WROTE THIS POEM!" Leo's mouth dropped open. "You don't mean..." Leo said, with a look of realization on his face. "Yes!" Piper said, happy he understood. "Um, can you two please clue us in?" Phoebe asked.
"There is only one person that could have done this. Leo and my English teacher, Mr. Connel! He is an English teacher, so he would know all about poems. Also, he would know that you went to the police right away, because Leo and I were in English class when we were called away! And... he attacked Paige because of the whole dog-lawnmower incident! Also, he lives right next door, so she would be easy access! And, he's been a lot stricter than usual!"
"You're right, Piper dearest." a voice said from behind them. "I always knew that you were too smart for your own good. It will give me great pleasure to kill you and all your little friends. Well, all but one." All of them turned around. There stood Mr. Connel, with three men they didn't know behind them. Mr. Connel had a gun in a holster on his waist, and the three unknowns had knives in their hands. "Crap." Piper and Prue whispered at the same time.
AN: So, it was Mr. Connel. I gave you hints, you should have figured it out! Well, this is named after a song by Save Ferris!
