Chapter Four
The car pulled into the parking lot, the worn down tires screeching. Sheriff Stilinski's car stopped next to ours, it's red and blue lights blaring. We got out of the car the same time as Stiles, the Sheriff and the Deputy pushed their car doors open.
"Do you think it's completely necessary to have your son here?" Sam asked, glancing nervously at Stiles.
"Um," The Sheriff said awkwardly, eyeing the Deputy and his son. "Stiles just… comes along to these things."
Sam through me a look and I gave a shrug. Stiles had been here at the previous cases. It had never really seemed that weird. He was just part of the scene.
"Let's just concentrate on the case." The deputy interrupted. He was a pretty guy, a little, but handsome. If I wasn't a lesbian I'd probably ask for his number.
"Alright, so what do we have here?" Dean asked as our small gang walked toward the two bodies on the ground.
"Two dead males, early caucasion, one peurto rican. We have no idea on either of them yet." An officer responded, pulling up to our sides. I liked her. I had seen her at some other cases. She was new and friendly and very, very hot.
"Thank you officer…?" I said, trying to get her name, which I hadn't quite remembered.
"Officer Eleanor Darren. You're Agent Granger, right?" She responded, giving me a small smile.
"You can call me Charlie." I responded, giving her a wink.
"Alright you two," Stiles grinned, "Enough flirting."
Eleanor smirked, eyeing me with her sly pupils. She then turned back to the Deputy, "Anyway, the real question is what movie is this scene from. Both victims seem to have stab wounds in their chests along with some other, minor wounds. Looks like they were in a fight beforehand. It's even possible that this isn't even the work of the Director. But then again, there is something wrong."
"What is it?" Sam asked.
"The murder weapon. It's missing. There is no knife of any sort on either of them. Someone must have taken it. Which means there are others involved." Eleanor walked us over to the two bodies. Both were dressed strange clothes. Not necessarily strange but, well, old. The style was old. Like 1960's old. And that's when it hit me.
"West Side Story." I mumbled.
"What," Dean asked, turning away from the bodies to look at me.
"I know the movie! West Side Story!" I cried happily. A few people started walking toward me, hearing my percolation. This included a few teenagers who always seemed to hang around crime scenes. They were some of Stiles' friends, I think. I had always thought it strange that Sheriff Stilinski permitted this to happen, but I had never asked why he did so.
"Thank god you are such a nerd," Dean responded.
"West Side Story." I tell him again, "That's the movie. Or play, whatever. The puerto rican, that's Bernardo and the caucasian, that's Riff. This is the scene of the rumble. That's the name for gang fights in the sixties. Bernardo stabs Riff and then Tony, Riff's best friend, stabs Bernardo in a fit of rage. Does… do you think the director will follow through with all the deaths?"
"What do you mean?" That was one of the teenageers. He was rather chiseled looking and always sort of felt like a leader. The alpha of his friend group, if you will.
"I mean, there are three deaths in this, movie. Riff, Bernardo and Tony."
"How does Tony die?" A different teenager asked.
"Okay, a) I really don't know why all of you high schoolers are here and b), he's stabbed by Chino, Bernardo's bestie."
"Why?" It was Stiles this time.
"Get ready for some spoilers," I sighed, "Tony is in love with a girl named Maria, Bernardo's little sister. That's part of the reason why they have the rumble in the first place. Anyway, after the rumble, Maria and Tony want to run away together. Tony goes to get some money and a cop comes and talks to Maria. Because of this, Maria sends her friend Anita to tell Tony that she will be late. Now, Anita used to be Bernardo's girlfriend and when she gets to where Tony is, his friends don't believe she is trying to help. They harass her. So, instead of telling Tony that Maria will be late, Anita tells him that Maria is dead. In a state of true sadness, Tony screams for Chino, who wants to shoot him for killing Bernardo, to kill him. Then he sees Maria, and they hug, but by then Chino has spotted Tony. He shoots him. And that's how the movie ends. So what I'm asking is do you think that the Director is still waiting to kill his Tony?"
"It's a possibility. Where do you think it would take place?"
"Well, sort of a playground-ish area. A tennis court perhaps? I don't know, a place with asphalt and chain link fences. Oh, I know, a school! Is there a school here?"
The teenagers shared a look. "Let's go."
