“My family had abandoned me when I was younger so I sleep here, in the broom closet” I had faintly exclaimed to Tamika and Alex
RP? I’m bored
“You sleep in the school?” I asked.
Alex's eyes widened and he took a few steps back. "No way. Noooo way. Uh-uh. Nope. I woke up this morning wanting to pass my Business & Management Studies exams, and now I have a corpse on my hands. I am most certainly not in the mood to deal with a deranged, sociopathic murderer. A deranged, sociopathic murderer who's on the run, might I add. We have to call the police."
“Yes, I have no where else to go” I replied.
“Ok, so we call 911? What happens if they think its us? Tamika’s finger prints are on it”
(Sorry, I didn't see it update, so just pretend what I just typed is after what Bri just typed.)
“Alex calm down! 1. The murder isn’t going to be here for a while and 2. We cant beacuse we all will be suspects!” I said.
(Ok)
"Good point, but we can't just hide it the body or something," Alex said.
I walk hesitantly towards to body to see who it was. But instantly jolted back. An idea quickly popped into my head, “Guys! Let’s go check the security tapes!” I say excitedly as I am looking up.
“No we have to solve it. Do we know anyone else who could help?”
"There's my roommate, Frank, but he's probably high. He always is. Maybe the body has identification," Alex suggested.
“Good idea”
“Um, I don’t know,”
"Uhh…who's going to search the body?" Alex asked. "Because it's not going to be me, I can tell you that."
“ I’ll do it” I walked up to the body and searched the pockets of his jeans. “Nothing, this guy is good”
“I will just run to check the security tapes in the office”
“Ok”
I go run to the office but find that the security tapes have been wiped and there is a note on the screen, all written in code. I sprint as fast as I can back to Alex and Tamika to tell them the news but my eyes quickly draw to the other note.
Meanwhile…..
Alex whipped out his phone and called Frank. He put the phone on speaker. "Hey, Frank?" he asked.
"Suuuuup, man. I can see aliens," a voice responded.
"That's cool. Anyways, do you know a guy-" Alex glanced at the corpse, "-with tan skin? Black hair? About six feet tall? Wearing jeans and a Nike t-shirt? Red sneakers? About thirty years old? Mole on left cheek?"
"Abraham Lincoln," Frank immediately replied.
"Somebody on campus!" Alex frustratedly said.
"Hmmm……oh! My buddy!"
"Your buddy?"
"Dragoste Warstone, D&D wizard! His signature spell is Lightning Combustion!"
"………."
"You know, my buddy! Michael Green! The room's turning into a rainbow….."
"Nice to know." Alex ended the call. "Well, we know who the corpse is. Michael Green."
I wandered around the room waiting for hazel to get back
“Didn’t he run away last year?”
“What”
“that’s good to know Alex”
“I heard that he ran away. He was scared of something or maybe now seeing his body, someone”
A dreadful silence filled the room.
“Any idea who did it?” I didn’t hear anyone last night come in”
“No clue but we have to figure it out. lets leave before the police come”
"Let's try to decipher the note in the library," Alex said.
(PS I'll be gone for a couple of hours)
