Chapter Three

As Danny entered the school the next morning, he sensed that the other kids were uncomfortable being around him. Besides Sam, Tucker, and Mr. Lancer (Because's he's the teacher!) No one spoke to him the entire day. As Danny sat down to lunch, he glanced over at the popular table.

On one side sat Kwan, Teresa, Star, & Alana (a girl with brown eyes & hair) and on the other sat Katie (a girl with Red hair and blue eyes), Rebecca (a girl with green eyes and dirty blond hair), and Sean (a boy the same size as Kwan with Red hair and Blue Eyes). Star and Kwan were flurting with each other from both sides of Teresa, who looked annoyed, While Sean and Alana did the same from opposite sides of the table.

Normally, Dash would've been doing the same with Katie, leaving it to the rest of the boys in the cafeteria to kiss up to Teresa and Rebecca, but today Katie was single and clearly annoyed by the fact that her friends were flurting while she sat there like a brick.

Sam sat down next to Danny and looked at him with a worried expression on her face, "Danny, I've been thinking about it a lot last night… and well… I want to help you find whoever set that bomb."

Danny glanced at Sam, gratitude shining in his eyes. It didn't last long because right at that second, Tucker had rushed over to them. "Rebecca said hi to me! Rebecca said hi TO ME!" Tucker announced to practically the whole cafeteria.

Sam gave Tucker a disdainful look as he sat down, clearly unaware of the tension surrounding his friends.

Danny was about to say something when he caught sight of Katie heading towards their table.

"Ummm… It's Danny Right?" She said nervously.

Danny nodded, surprised that one of the popular girls, much less Dash's girlfriend, would be talking to him.

"Have you seen Dash, He wasn't at My Locker this morning and I called after second period and he wasn't home," Katie said almost too quickly.

Danny shrugged and Katie headed over towards the chess club to ask them.

"I wonder why she cares," Sam said in a disdainful tone, "They broke up last week anyway. Apparently he was hitting on Jazz-" Sam caught herself in Mid-sentence as Danny pulled out a notebook and started taking notes.

"Guys, It looks like we already have two strong motives."

"Who?" Sam and Tucker asked at almost the same time.

"Dash and Katie"

Before Sam could respond, Mikey, the kid who did Dash's Homework, walked over to their table and inquired the same thing Katie had minutes ago.

"I've got his book report on "Ninja Bunnies and the Big Carrot" done. Boy, Jazz can really get things done-" Mikey stopped, Realizing his mistake.

Danny took no notice and continued to take notes, "Why did Dash have to do a report on that?"

"Something about passing the ninth grade. What are you? A Cop?" Mikey marched off, clearly annoyed by Danny's new habit of pumping people for information.

Danny glanced at Sam, Surprised, "What?"
