Chapter 4

The school hall looks bright with slightly yellow lights.  All the students were silent and gathered there to celebrate the school anniversary.  They wore informal dresses and gowns for this evening's celebration.  Mr.  Edison, as the principal of the school, gave a speech and invited the students to continue learning and excel to improve the good name of the school.  At the end of Mr. Edison's fired party poppers, all the students cheered and applauded.

 Mr.  Edison gave the microphone to one of the crew and got off the stage.  A well-known DJ in Los Angeles took the stage in place of the principal.  All the students shouted again happily.  He signaled to the multimedia technician.  The main light was turned off and turned into a disco light that illuminated the entire room.

 Music began to sound as soon as his nimble hands played on the turntable.  All the students shouted once again.  The DJ is getting louder and louder at a faster pace.  Make them more excited and dance to enjoy the music.

 Meanwhile, after making sure everything went according to plan, Mr.  Edison returned to his room.  All the teachers are in the hall.  Only he entered the teacher's room.  Even though he was tired, he still forced himself to finish a little unfinished work.  The man was very tired of taking care of all things related to tonight's fast from a long time ago.  He wanted to be able to rest quite quietly tonight without thinking about work anymore.

 The sound of music from the DJ can still be heard, although not so loudly, because the room is quite far away.  Mr.  Edison wriggled his body.  Stretching all his muscles from fatigue.  All the work has been done.  It's time to go home.

 He packed his laptop and some files to take home.  After making sure that nothing was left behind, he turned off the lights in his room and the teachers' room and left the office.  The lights in all the rooms have been turned off by the school guard.

 Just as he was about to take a step, someone who was running quickly down the stairs suddenly bumped into him.  He and the other both fell.

 "Aww!"  Mr.  Edison looked at the person who bumped into him.

 Instead, the person looked at Mr.  Edison.  Noticing the costume that the person was wearing was strange, especially he saw that he was a grown man, Mr.  Edison shouted.

 "Hey!"

 The man stood up and was about to run away.  But quickly Mr.  Edison hugged his knees and pulled him down.  Mr.  Edison realized that the mysterious man was holding a knife.  But strangely, the man didn't even want to hurt Mr.  Edison even though his position is very possible.

 With his fat body, Mr.  Edison tugged at the bottom of the man's shirt and pinned him down.  Makes it difficult for the opponent to move.  Quickly Mr.  Edison removed the man's mask.

 "Marco?!"  He stared in disbelief "What the hell?!"

 "Gordon?"

 Mr.  Edison stood up and held out his hand to the man named Marco.  He saw Marco looking down.  Mr.  Edison looked all around, making sure no one was looking at them.

 "Follow me!"

 Mr.  Edison walked ahead of them.  Enter the teacher's room and turn on the light only in his study.  Tell Marco to sit down.

 "What the hell are you doing in my school?!"  He looked at his sister angrily, "Then what is the knife for?"

 "I should do this! I don't have any choice."

 "Doing what?!"

 "I kill one of your students."

 "What? Are you carrying?!"

 "I don't have any choice! I need money to pay my rent and I lost at gambling. I asked you for help but you refused to help me. Don't blame me if I do this!"

 "Then why did you kill my disciple?"

 Marco sighed.

 "Someone emailed me. He offered me $5.000 on the condition that I kill the kid."

 "Who?"

 "I don't know! He wanted me to take a photo of the kid as evidence and email it back."

 "You are crazy!"

 "Now what?!"  Marco looked back at his brother angrily "You couldn't help me and now you're mad at me?!"

 "I want to help you but not now. My family is short on money too. You know, my two kids are in college."

 "That's your business, Dude!"

 Mr.  Edison pointed up, "There's now the corpse of one of the students upstairs. I want you to get rid of it before anyone finds out."

 "Okay."  Marco pointed at the camera in the upper corner of the room, "Is it on?"

 "Yes it is,"  said Mr.  Edison while looking at the camera.

 "Oh my God!"

 'knock knock knock'

 They looked towards the door frantically.

 "Oh, shit!"
