Chapter 3
"Delilah, Julius, what are you doing here man? You got to, like, wake up and change into something black." It was 8:30am when Al woke them from their slumber. It was kind of an awkward moment because they were cuddled up on the sofa together and everyone who was around was staring at them. Delilah opened her eyes, realized the situation they were in, and blushed.
"Dee, we'd better, um, go." Julius said quickly.
"I think you're right." She replied. They got up and left the room and started down the hall to their own rooms. "Here's my room, meet me here when you're ready?"
"Yeah, sure." And he walked down the hall to his room.
It was 8:58am when Delilah decided to leave without Julius. "Where is he?" she wondered. "whatever, he can be late without me." So she headed down to the main hall, everyone seemed to be there, and she sat down. Five minutes later, Julius came and sat beside her.
"Where were you?" she asked.
"I dozed off. I remember going to my room, changing, I started fixing my hair, and then all of a sudden I was waking up on the bathroom floor at nine o'clock. Its weird, I didn't feel tired. Maybe I'm overtired."
"Shh, it's starting." She told him. Al came up and made a long speech, followed by Scarlett. During her speech, Julius overheard Al talking to Emmet. He nudged Delilah and nodded in the direction of the conversation.
"Where is she?" Al whispered.
"I don't know, after kickboxing practice she went to her room to get ready, and I haven't seen her since." Emmet replied.
"Man, this is so disrespectful, being late for a funeral."
"I'll go get her." He said and left.
"You don't think-" Julius started
"Oh I think."
"Well, let's go check it out."
"Pony up."
They snuck out of the main hall and started heading towards Ursula's room when they heard a woman scream. They ran towards the room. The door and the window were open, and nobody except Emmet was in there.
"Where's Ursula, why did she scream?" Delilah asked
"Actually, that was me screaming. Ursula is, um." Emmit pointed to the window.
They slowly approached the window just as everyone else was arriving at the scene.
"Where is she man? Al asked.
As Delilah and Julius looked out the window, they knew that the Academy had a big problem.
"What's going on? Al asked as he looked out the window. "Oh, man, I'm going to have to talk to Scarlett alone. Everyone just, like, wait in here." As soon as Al left, everyone rushed to the window. Ursula was there, three stories down, dead on the pavement. Delilah and Julius listened through the door what Al and Scarlett were saying.
"Man, this is, like, as bad as I feared."
"Somebody is killing academy agents and they won't stop till we're all dead."
Delilah and Julius gasped.
"I hear someone." Al said as he opened the door to find them eavesdropping.
"Hi, Al, Scarlett." Julius said.
"We're sorry for, um spying," Delilah said, "We'll just go and-"
"No need, we must announce this to everyone anyways man." Speaking up he then said, "Attention everyone," Everyone looked at Al, "I do not mean to alarm you, but there is a killer, possibly one of our own, murdering Academy agents. I want everyone to keep their eyes open and watch your back. Because at any given moment…BANG," everyone jumped back, "your, like, dead man."
