Chapter 6: And So The Mystery Begins
"Alright listen up, today just run five laps, then play some dodge ball." He said before heading back up to his office. They all got up and started the laps most of the boys took the lead some of the girls were up in front as well Kate and Katie ran by each other somewhere ahead of Teyla didn't mind running slow and from the look of it neither did Elizabeth she was running right next to.
"So you and John going out?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yeah I guess, sort of." Teyla answered.
"What are you ladies talking about?" The man in question said as he ran next to them.
"You John." Elizabeth said.
"Well then I should be proud to have two ladies like yourselves to be talking about me." John said with a smirk as he ran backwards to look at them.
"Oh don't flatter yourself." Elizabeth said John gave her a questioning eyebrow and she just smirked and ran ahead, Teyla kept running at the same speed. John turned back the right way and ran beside her.
"You still on for Saturday?" He asked.
"Yeah, why you change your mind?" Teyla asked amused and a little worried.
"No, no unless you wanted…" He started.
"No, hey you started the conversation." Teyla said.
"Alright you got a point there." He said smirking. They ran for a bit then he grabbed her hand and pulled her into a corner behind the bleachers. At first she resisted. "Come on." He said.
"We'll get caught." Teyla said worried.
"No we wont, it'll be ok." John told her and pulled herb under the bleachers then he turned around to face her and she walked up close to him.
"I cant see anything, John." She told him.
"You trust me?" He asked her.
"Well, yes I guess." She said.
"Then you have to see this." He told her and then led her into a secret passage that led to a room.
"What is this place?" She asked him.
"Well they say back in 1987 this was the old P.E. teacher Mr. Brooks office, until he was murdered in this very room. Ever since then they closed it off but kids kept breaking in so they built the bleachers over it, and pretty soon most kids forgot about it." John explained.
"Did they every figure out who the murderer was?" Teyla asked.
"No, But there was three suspects, one was Professor Steven Coldwell, another was Mr. Richard Woolsey he was the business teacher, and the third was a student the biggest bully in school back then Lucas Lenard." John finished answering.
"What happened to them." Teyla asked.
"Well as you know Professor Coldwell still works here, But Mr. Woolsey career as a teacher pretty much went down the toilet after the investigation, he now owns his own shopping store down town. As for Lucas, people say he killed himself, were as other people believe that he's still alive and the reason he ran away was because he did kill Mr. Brooks. The Cops did find his car on the side of the highway were a forest was, but they didn't find him. Or if he did kill himself they never did find any proof like a body." John said. Teyla listen intently as she rummaged through the things that were in the old office. She found some news paper clippings that had games that the school won on them. She found an old flashlight and turned it on to use for more light. In the corner she saw something flash off the flashlights light and went over to it. She bent dawn and picked it up. "You find something?" John asked.
"Yeah maybe." Teyla said looking at a silver button.
"Well." John asked, Teyla stood up and handed the button to him. "Looks like a regular button to me." John said.
"Except that it's a woman's coat button." She said.
"Yeah well lots of kids came in here after the investigation it's probably just someone messing around and lost a button." John said handing it back to her she took it and looked it over.
"Not this one though." Teyla said John looked over at her.
"Oh yeah how so." John said smirking.
"This button has dried blood on it." Teyla said John came over to her and she gave the button back to him to look at and he looked at it closely.
"So you don't think this could be a clue do you?" John asked.
"I would think so." Teyla said.
"What are you going to do with it?" John asked.
"I'm going to solve it." Teyla said.
"You cant be serious can you?" John asked.
"Very serious, when was the last time you did anything spectacular?" Teyla asked.
"Well, um ok you have a point there, let me help." John said now very interested.
"Well start searching for more clues." Teyla said and John went over to the other side of the room and started to search.
