Ryan shot out of English once he heard the bell ring. He walked to his locker quickly and gathered his books for his period of Science. Sharpay walked up to him again, "Gabriella just told me that you've got a crush on some girl?"
Ryan stopped in his tracks and turned to her, "Well, I'm your twin, so don't you think I should know who it is?" Ryan shut his locker slowly, "You know her, that's all I'm saying." Ryan sped pass Sharpay, leaving her to guess the identity of her brother's crush.
She rolled her eyes and walked to Math class. She bumped into Chad, "Hey Princess." he said sarcastically. Sharpay snickered, "Screw you Curly." she said before walking into the class room. Chad smirked and followed her in.
Ryan held his stomach throughout English. He felt like his stomach was ready to burst out of his belly. "I have to watch what I say, especially since Gabbie and Shar are now friends." Ryan thought to himself. "If Sharpay finds out that she's the girl I have a crush on, it may just crush her!" he whispered to himself. He asked to use the restroom and opened on of the stall doors.
Nothing was inside. He hung his head above the toilet before he released the vomit from within him. He knelt down when he was finished, putting his head to the seat in shame. "Damn it! Now I'm sick to my stomach!" he yelled. He looked down at the floor and saw a playing deck card. He rose an eyebrow and picked the card up. It was the Ace of Spades, and written on in Red marker was the letter Q. "Q? What is this doing here?" Ryan decided to take the card as he went to wash his hands. That's when he saw Zeke's blood spreading across the floor. Ryan shrieked as he ran out of the bathroom and stormed down the hall.
The Police arrived soon at East High. The school was evacuated and investigation on a homicide began. Sharpay sobbed into Ryan's chest, he rubbed her back and hugged her tightly, "It's okay Shar. I'm here, and I'll protect you." he said. He kissed her head, she didn't notice the bit of passion he did it with.
"How could this happen? I was just talking to him this morning! Now he's dead!" Sharpay asked Ryan. He shook his head, "Maybe it was his time…?" Ryan said, failing to cheer her up. "What kind of animal would do that to a student, and even in the school?"
"A pretty smart animal."
Sharpay and Ryan turned to a brown haired male cop. "The splatter patterns tracing from the major arteries indicates that it he didn't feel any pain from being split in half." the cop said. "And who are you?" Ryan asked. The man put out his hand, "Dexter Morgan, Miami Forensics." "Miami?" Dexter chuckled, "I was going on vacation then heard about this. My commander sent me down to help out the Albuquerque cops. You knew this kid?"
"Zeke Baylor. He was a friend of ours, also Sharpay's ex-boyfriend." Ryan said. "Sharpay, would your name happen to be Evans?" The twins looked at Dexter, "Yeah, have we-" "Your hotel is were my family and I are staying at." Sharpay seemed to cheer up a little, "Really? Well you chose a great one!" She said. Dexter smirked, "Yeah, the golf courts are great." he said.
"Well, Evans, I'll give you an update if you wish, here's my number, call if you want to know anything." Dexter handed a piece of paper to Ryan, "Thanks Mr. Morgan." he said as Dexter entered back into the school. "Seems like a nice cop." Sharpay said.
"Are you crazy, giving away you're cell phone number to a pair of teens you just met?" Harry Morgan's spirit said to Dexter. "I don't think they'll interfere with me at all. It's the least I could do for thanking them for such a great place for Rita and the Kids." Dexter walked into the bathroom were the blood was coated in the stall and onto the floor. A few cops were talking and taking photos of the scene. "Are you Miami?" one asked him. He nodded, "What do you think?" "Uhh…weapon had to have been something small, or something that could fit into a backpack." Dexter stated. "Pocket knife?" "Perhaps, but the way the torso is cut, it'd take a lot of energy and time with just that." The cop pointed at the blood splatters on the wall, "Could a high school student even have the will power to make such a mess?" Dexter shrugged, "Depends the motives of the student. Judging on all of this carnage, it was for hate or revenge, or that's what I'm guessing." "Or maybe for pleasure…" The cop said, Dexter smirked and walked out of the room.
Ryan drove Sharpay's car home. They both got out and headed in, seeing that their parents were not home yet. "I'm going to head to the store, you want anything Shar?" Ryan asked. She shook her head, "I think some sleep would be good for me, see you soon." she said, giving him a quick hug. Ryan smiled softly as he watched her head up stairs and turn the corner to her bedroom. He opened the front door and headed out.
