Note 2: I hope that you guys like this chapter and let me know what you think


Troy and Chad walked out of the classroom with their jaw dropped and eyes wide. Both of them could not believe what their teacher had just reacted. They looked at each other hoping that it was not just their reaction. Then they risked a look back into the classroom. Mrs. Tridal had not moved from her original position looking down at the floor with her hair covering her face.

"Dude, did you see her, I mean did you see her?" asked Troy.

"Of course I saw her! She like totally spazzed out," said Chad.

"I told you that there was something weird going on," said Troy.

"So what? You're saying that we were meant to see the yearbook.

"No! well maybe…I don't know. The point is we need to find out more about guy," said Troy.

"I don't think we'll get an answer out of Tridal," stated Chad.

"Then we're just going to have to use something else," said Troy gesturing with his hands as if he was being clever.

"Like what?" asked Chad, throwing one of his books into his locker and picking up his basketball.

"Where else? The Library," said Troy pointing his thumbs down the hallway. Chad closed his locker and followed Troy.

Chad closed his locker and rolled his eyes following his best friend towards the library. Luckily they were in free period and could go straight to the gym afterwards. They entered the library door and went to the desk with Chad setting his basketball on top. The librarian came out from the back and went straight up to Troy.

"May I help you two?" asked the Librarian not even bothering looking at Chad.

"Yeah…uh, can we use a computer?" asked Troy.

"Possibly, if you can ask correctly," said the Librarian.

"I'm sorry…May we use a computer?" said Troy.

"Yes, but you're going to have to pry that basketball away from Mr. Danforth first," commented the librarian sharply.

Troy took the ball away from him and handed it over to her. She took the ball and set it behind the counter. Chad just stood there with his mouth agape. Troy turned him around and the librarian pointed over to the computers. Troy pushed Chad along following her instructions.

"She took my ball," whispered Chad.

"Yeah, she did dude," said Troy softly, pulling out the computer chair and sitting down.

"I can't believe that she took my ball," said Chad as he pulled up a chair, flipping it around and sitting in it backwards.

"Dude, you'll get it back," said Troy as he double clicked on the internet icon, "Let's search…Marcus Fielding."

"Hey Troy, you use to like that book didn't you, Marcus and the Field," joked Chad about the children's book that came up on the search.

"Shut up, I'll just narrow the search down," said Troy as he typed the words East High School in the search bar as well.

The search came back in less than a second. The first result had been a newspaper article congratulating the man, Marcus Fielding, for becoming the new principle of East High after a close race. The article didn't tell them too much that they did not already know so Troy went back to the search. Two topics down Troy and Chad found exactly what they were looking for. It was another newspaper article. When they opened the document they found that it was written more like a police report than a newspaper article.

Marcus Fielding, age 40, the beloved principle at East High School has not showed up for work for a week with no reference that he was going to show up for work any of those days. There are speculations of which that the principle was in trouble with the law and decided to skip town or even the fact that he was possibly murdered. The authorities began looking into this case as of yesterday and have turned up with no evidence. The only search that has been done however is at his house of 313 Condor Lane, with nothing being able to be found. A search will be conducted today to check his office for any clues as to his disappearance. It can be mostly said that the community of East High hopes that their principle is okay and will return to work soon.

Troy could not help but to stare at the computer screen, knowing what he had just read. Chad on the other hand was unfazed by it. Chad looked over and saw Troy's expression.

"Dude, come on! It says that they didn't find anything," said Chad.

"Yeah, at his house. What if this whole thing happened here-" started Troy.

"SSHH!!" exclaimed the Librarian as she whipped her head around on the aisles.

"I'll try to get Troy to keep it down," said Chad. The librarian disappeared back into her aisle.

"What if it happened here…at East High," said Troy softly.

"You think Tridal did this?"

"No…well maybe I don't know maybe she had some help? I just think that we should keep our options open," said Troy.

"You're not going to give up on this, are you?" asked Chad.

"I really think that we should find out what happened to this guy," said Troy.

"Fine, can we at least get some help?" asked Chad.

"Who do you have in mind?"
