Chapter 9
"Darren! Darren!" shouted the voice of Gordon which seemed miles away.
Darren could barely even talk or speak, he was drifting in and out of consciousness for about two minutes until everything seemed clear again. He got up gasping for breath like he was underwater for hours.
"Gordon, we have to get out of here!" Darren said.
"Why what happened?"
"The killer, he's in here, he's in the gym we have to leave now!"
Darren started to get up, but Gordon stopped him.
"Whoa, wait, I don't see anyone."
"Come on, we have to leave now!"
"Should we tell the principle?"
"No, not now, I'm waiting for something."
"What are you waiting for?"
"It's something I can't tell you about."
Gordon looked through the doors of the gym and smiled.
"Why don't I help you?" he said.
"What do you mean?"
"Setting up the rest of those cameras, you seem to be afraid of heights. Thank goodness for me I'm not. So just tell me where to put the remaining cameras."
"Set one up on both bleachers facing the entrance."
Gordon smiled while Darren handed him the cameras. Gordon sat them up real quickly and ran back to Darren.
"How are you gonna get access to these cameras?" Gordon asked.
Darren just smiled as he took out his smartphone and opened up the application revealing all footage from each camera.
"Wow, that's amazing! Where did you get this stuff?"
"I know a guy," Darren said trying to act cool.
"You mean that goofy police officer that was just attacked?"
"Yeah, he let me borrow his cameras," Darren said lying.
"That's so cool, I wish I knew a police officer."
"If Sidney wasn't so close to him I wouldn't be able to get my hands on this stuff."
"By the way can you please tell me why you're setting these cameras up?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"It's my life's dream to know why!"
"Okay, I'll tell you if you promise not to tell anyone else."
"Okay, I promise," Gordon said sarcastically.
"I'm putting them up to catch the killer, I know he's gonna go after a big event like this."
"Very smart."
"And very sneaky."
"So," Gordon said changing the subject, "can we get lunch now, I'm starving!"
"Yeah, let's go."
After they walked out of the gym ghost face walked out from under the bleachers and closed the door.
FOFOFOFOFOFOFOFOFOFO
Darren got home after what seemed like a long day of school, Darren didn't tell Sidney, Dewey, or Gale about his encounter at school, he wanted it to remain a secret. When he walked through the door he saw Sidney and Gale standing right in front of him.
"Hey, what's up?" Darren said setting his stuff down without making any eye contact.
"Nothing much, Dewey said that his surveillance cameras were missing.
Darren's eyes suddenly bulged, he didn't know how they found out so quick, he now regretted the entire idea of taking those video cameras.
"His cameras are missing?" Darren asked in the most believable voice he could make.
"Yeah, he was looking for them, he wanted to put extra surveillance around the house, but when he looked under the bed they were gone."
"Wow, I wonder who took them!" Darren said trying to sound disbelieved.
"We were just wondering if we could see your phone," Gale asked.
Darren's stomach started doing backflips, it wasn't the I'm fearing for my life backflips, it was more I'm in a deep shit load of trouble kind of backflip. Darren felt chills go down his back as he reached into his pocket and took out his phone.
"Thank you," Gale said quickly taking the phone out of his hand.
Gale quickly scrolled through the phone looking app after app finding what she was looking for, she looked at all of the footage that was set up in the gym.
"Okay fine, I took them!" Darren shouted.
Sidney and Gale looked at him with shock.
"Darren, why would you do such a thing!" Sidney shouted.
"I'm sorry, I really needed the cameras," Darren said.
"That doesn't give you the right to take other people's belongings!"
When Sidney was shouting and Darren Gale was still holding onto his phone. Darren lost eye contact with Sidney, he started staring at the phone which showed a camera angled of the back end of the gym, he saw the janitor mopping the floor and behind the janitor was ghost face.
"Guys," Darren said quietly.
"Oh no I'm not done talking to you yet!" Sidney shouted.
"Guys look!" Darren shouted forcing the phone towards there faces.
Sidney and Gale's eyes widened as they saw the ghost face and janitor on the screen, they saw when ghost face took his knife and jammed in the head of the janitor, he never saw it coming, as the killer ripped the knife out of the poor man's head he fell to the ground as dead as a rock.
"Dewey!" Gale shouted running up the steps.
Sidney just stood in shock with a tear down her eye.
"You see, Sidney, this is what I'm worried about!"
Sidney took a gulp of air.
"Yeah, I see," she said breaking down.
Darren kept looking at the footage, he saw that ghost face was putting his body in a sports closet.
"Wait why is he hiding the body?" Sidney asked.
"He must not want the dance to be cancelled."
"Hold on I'm on my way down!" shouted Dewey's voice from upstairs.
Darren and Sidney looked up, they saw Dewey in his police uniform, he was limping down the stairs at a slow pace.
"Dewey," Gale said, "go back upstairs, you're still hurt."
"No way, I'm gonna find this killer and tear him to shreds!"
"Dewey, just please go back upstairs and contact the other officers," Sidney said.
"Okay, fine!"
Dewey slowly limped back upstairs, there was no way he could defend himself against a killer like ghost face.
"So what do we do?" Sidney asked.
"I thin right now we just have to wait?"
