Chapter 6: What?
Logan – POV
"Hey Logie, is there any more news from James yet?" Kendall my adoring boyfriend asked me from the couch.
"No, I ran his phone awhile ago, he must be still loved up with girl he's with" I say checking my phone.
"Now Kendoll go back to your movie and let me study" I call over to Kendall looking back down at my anatomy book in front of me.
A few hours passed since then, Kendall, Carlos, Jo, Camille, Mama Knight and even Katie where starting to worry a small bit, but to be completely honest James did this quiet a lot back in Minnesota, but that was because his dad was a heavy alcoholic sometimes he'd beat James. Sadly though he was murdered, he'd come off the drink after he'd seen the damage he did to James and his mum once and from then on he was a changed man, but ironically for man who was drunk most of his adult life he was killed by a drunk.
A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts, I heard Katie and Kendall both call out "Mom! Door!". Mama Knight re-emerged from her room,
"Do you not think the two of you could get it?"
Katie and Kendall just stared at her.
"Oh fine, I'll get it" Mama Knight says walking over towards the door.
Mrs. Knight – POV
"Ungrateful kids" I jokingly mutter walking towards the door.
"Love you too Mom" I hear Kendall call from the couch.
I roll my eyes at my son's smart answer "Kendall just for that, you and Logan can't stay together tonight".
"What? Mama Knight just because Kendall got in trouble, why do I have to be punished?" I hear Logan call from the kitchen.
"Joking boys, Dad?" I say surprised when I see my father at the door.
"Hello Kira" he says with a smile on his face.
"Dad, long time no see, come in, come in." I say hugging him then inviting him in.
"Kids your grandfather is here" I call out to Katie and Kendall.
"Hey granddad!" the two literally jumped over to us, because it has been a very long time since they saw him, I say it's about 10 years, a while after my mother 'died'. The kids think she passed away from a blood clot but in reality she was murdered by some mug!
Kendall shaking me snapped me out of my thoughts "Mom, you ok?"
"Yes honey, sorry I just spaced out" I reply.
"Everyone is doing that today" Kendall says looking over at an open laptop for no apparent reason. (1)
"Anyway granddad, about time we introduce to our friends, this is Camile" Kendall says pointing at Camille who then got up off her seat and slapped Kendall across the face.
Dad just raised an eyebrow then mouthed the word "Girlfriend?". I nod my head in disagreement.
"This is Jo and Carlos" Kendall says pointing towards Carlos and Jo, who wave at my father.
"Such a weird name for a girl so pretty" My dad says, I mentally smack myself, Dad has always been so upfront about what is on his mind.
Jo just laughs at his comment, then says "It was my grandmothers name, her name was Joanne".
"And our other friend James is currently out on a date with a girl he met, so you'll probably meet him later. And last but not least Logan, you might remember him as my friend back in Minnesota but now he's here with me as my boyfriend" Kendall bravely says walking over and grabbing Logan.
Oh crap, Kendall, Dad hasn't exactly been a fan of gays. I brace myself for what my father is about to say.
"Oh. Well I see your one of those people" he says. I cringe at his comment and I can see Katie mouthing "Ouch".
"But Kendall if your happy, I'm happy" Dad says. I silently thank God for that.
"Anyway guys time for dinner" I announce.
Normal – POV
A few hours had passed since then. Everyone was on the couch when Kelly arrived.
"Hey guys, look I know Gustavo said that you had tomorrow off but Griffen wants to see how far you've progressed and stuff and by the way where is James, because Gustavo wants to do some practise for Griffen tomorrow?" Kelly says looking at the three boys cringing faces.
"He's still with his date" Logan says like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Well guys let him know when-" A knock on the door cut's off the last of Kelly's sentence.
"I bet you that's James now" Katie says getting of the sofa and going over to the door. A few seconds later Katie arrives back in with the police trailing behind her.
"Mom, I swear I did nothing!" Katie jokingly says returning to the couch.
Mama Knight throws a look over at the boys to which they shrug back at her.
"Kira Knight?" The police woman in the black suit asks out.
"Yeah that's me" Mama Knight says rising from her chair in kitchen.
"Look what ever the boys broke I can pay for it" Kelly says.
"My name is DC Ashworth (2) and no your boys didn't break anything, but your James Diamond's legal guardian?" the woman asks.
"Yeah" Mama Knight replies.
"I'm afraid I have some bad news" The woman says.
Kendall gets off the sofa and walks over to where his mother is standing, Logan following close behind.
"What kind of bad news?" Kendall asks grabbing Logan's hand.
"Well. At 11:08am this morning a body was found near Lookout Point matching James's description."
Everyone freezes, Camille feels Carlos tense while Jo puts her hand over her mouth. Kendall grips Logan's tightly. Kelly and Mama Knight look like there going to bust into tears. Katie looks unconvinced. As the silence lingers Katie finally decides to break it.
"Is th-this some s-ss-sort of sick-k joke?" She stutters out.
"No, I'm afraid not, autopsy reveals that cause of death was strangulation." DC Ashworth says.
Right then and there Logan, Mama Knight, Kelly, Carlos and Camille break down into tears.
"S-s-so your saying, he was murdered?" Camille asks tears streaming down her face.
The look on DC Ashworth's face answered her question. Kendall tries his best to console Logan but soon he is also hysterical from tears.
"But unfortunately we need one of you to come and ID the body" DC Ashworth says.
"I'll do it" Carlos says for the first time since hearing the news.
"I'll come with you" Jo says grabbing Carlos's hand.
The two walk over to the three policeman and leave with them. Katie finally breaks down into tears.
"There, there honey it's going to be ok" Mama Knight says trying her best to comfort Katie and everyone else. Mama Knight's father puts his hand on her shoulder silently saying he's here for them.
Kelly's phone begins ringing, she takes it out of her pocket to see that Gustavo is calling her.
"Oh my god its Gustavo, what am I going to say?" she ask to no one in particular.
She answers "Yeah boss?" she snivels out.
"Where are those ungrateful dogs? And why those it sound like you're crying? Have you been watching one of your stupid soppy movies again? And where are you? I sent you out to get the dogs a half hour ago?" Gustavo roars through the phone.
"I'm at the Palm Woods" she stutters out in reply.
"Well hurry back because I have a thousand and one things to do! Stuff like" Gustavo continues to rant on, every so often Kelly tries to say something but Gustavo keeps ignoring her. Kelly finally has enough and snaps
"GUSTAVO I DON'T GIVE A BLOODY DAMN ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING! JUST GET THE HELL OVER TO THE FUCKING PALM WOODS NOW!" Kelly screams into the phone.
"Jeez, Kelly calm down, I'll be over in a few minutes" Gustavo says slightly quieter than usual.
A half an hour later Gustavo arrives with Freight Train in tow, seeing everyone seated at the sofa he asks jokingly,
"Wow, who died?"
Kendall, Logan, Katie and Camille burst into tears again at Gustavo's comment.
"James did, no actually he was murdered, Carlos and Jo are gone to identify his body" Kelly says with tears forming in her eyes.
And for the first time ever Gustavo is left speechless. Logan seeing his Human Anatomy book at his feet catches it and throws it across the room hitting the Online Safety rules. Kendall just wraps his arms around his boyfriends waist and rests his forehead against the small of Logan's back.
"Guys are we going to be ok.." Kendall says barely above the noise of a whisper.
