Chapter 2- suspects.

"Nina you can't think that one of us did this?" Joy asked. Everyone seemed to stare at Nina vacuously as Joy said this. Nina spun round to stare at her. She couldn't believe what she was hearing!

"Somebody did this on purpose!" Nina said back, the anger in her voice made everyone's blood run cold.

"Well is wasn't any of us Nina!"

"I'm not saying it was Joy!"

"Sure sounds like it!"

"Maybe you did it, you never liked her"

"You were in here last night, you probably did it. Amber always took you're lime light!"

"She was my best friend!"

"Or maybe she topped herself! Maybe she couldn't stand you!"

"What is you're problem?"

"You know what my problem is! If this happens again, it better be you!" Joy pushed past all of the shocked students that had just watched them argue and walked down the stairs. She pulled out her phone. On the screen was a message.

(Joy is italics and the mysterious person is bold)

Job done?

I'm out

You can't be out Mercer, you wanted to do this.

I didn't think it would be Amber though!

Well you'll never guess who's next.

Who?

Joy didn't get a reply so threw her phone into her bag and walked out the door.

Nina sat in English class staring blankly at the board. Her pen was balanced between her fingers softly. The piece of paper in front of her was covered in tears from her eyes. how could this happen to her best friend? The teacher in front of hers mouth seemed to move but she wasn't able to concentrate on the noise coming out. She looked to see Fabian doodling on the front of his notebook. She nudged him, making his eyes flap up and round to see her. He smiled weakly at her and looked back down again as a piece of neatly folded paper was put in front of him.

SIBUNA MEETING, TUNNELS, ASAP!

He looked to his side to see Nina reading it too. They looked at Patricia and nodded. the lunch bell rang and they all rushed to the house. They crawled through the trap door and walked into the tunnels.

"What's up Patricia?" Nina asked. Her voice full of irritation. She just wanted to be alone right now.

"We need to figure out who did this to Amber!" Patricia said.

"Well duh!"

"How could they have done it though? It has to be someone in the house!"

"We don't know. They could have snook in"

"No they couldn't. The windows are locked, the doors are locked. There's no way!"

"They could've snuck in earlier and hid somewhere"

"Victor always checks"

"Well then who did it?"

"Mick maybe?"

"No. He wouldn't!" Fabian shouted a little to loud.

"Who is down here?" Victor shouted. The students ran to the end of the tunnel and hid behind the large wooden beams. "I know you're down here!"

"What do we do?" Alfie whispered. They all shushed him.

"I give you 20 seconds to be upstairs or I come looking for you" with that he walked away. They all sighed in relief.

"Well then we go back upstairs"

"No way! Not that way! He'll catch us. We go the library way" Nina said. They crawled through and sat on the bench in the libary.

"What can I do for you today?" Trudy asked.

"We erm just came to eat lunch here" Fabian said innocently. They all nodded.

"Oh. Well make sure you're back at school on time dearies!"

"Yes Trudy" Alfie said cheerfully pulling out his usual sandwich that Trudy made him. Ham, chicken, cheese, popcorn and mustard, just how he liked it.

"That's gross Alfie!" Patricia said shoving him.

"Amber used to say that"

"Yeah. Sorry"

"You should be!" Alfie stormed away, throwing his sandwich on the floor. They all looked at each other. He was never like that!

"I'll go!" Eddie said rushing after him.

"That's my man!" Patricia said high fiving him.
