GAME ON
Care shrieked, seeing Michael interrupted him. His entry embarrassed Michael.
“Iam so…sorry... sir.” he stammered with the coffee cup is still in his hands.
“Michael, get out now. I don’t need coffee.” Daniel shouted and Michael ran after closing the door.
“Who wants coffee when I can have you.” Daniel touched Care’s cheek. He started kissing again and his hands travelled inside her top. She stopped kissing and looked at him.
“Let’s take it slow.”
“No offence. I can wait for you. Iam so happy right now. You accepted my proposal. Iam happy to have you as my girlfriend.” he lay next to her by facing each other closely.
“Daniel Evans is my boyfriend. You don’t know how happy Iam.” she smiled at him, placing her hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat.
“But I have one condition.”
“What’s that? Everything is going well.” he got panicked by her condition.
“Nothing serious. I don’t want this news to spread. I will tell my sisters and brother but it should not go to public. Iam so uncomfortable when it comes to the public.”
“That’s what you wanted? Even though I really wanted to do it, I will promise you it won’t be public,” he said, gazing into her eyes. They both are so close to feeling each other's breath.
“Okay, Dan,” she called his name shortly. She loves to call him like that, but never did. Right now, she’s so grateful for working at Roshord High, or else she never has gotten a chance to be his girlfriend.
“I like you calling me Dan, Love.” in response, Care moved forward and hugged him. She can feel his whole body on her.
“Nobody called him Love,” she muttered, hiding her face in his chest. She felt his shirt as a barrier between them, but she’s the one who wanted to take things slow. Now she doesn’t want to think about how many girlfriends he had before. All she wants is to be in his arms forever.
.....
“Wait for me outside the school. I need to get my car from the service. I will pick you up within fifteen minutes.” Jason spoke to Charlotte on the phone. Charlotte barely escaped from today’s investigation. Now she’s going to Jason’s house. Finally, she’s feeling like her old self, who has always been happy.
She walked down the stairs. The investigators even checked the fingerprints of the principal. How can a principal kill her own students? Becca’s mom and the investigators are still on the second floor packing their things.
Charlotte waited outside the school wall and she waited for more than 30 minutes and there’s no sign of Jason. Why is he late? She took her phone to call him but he didn’t reply.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Finally, a call came from Jason." Where are you??" she asked, but there’s some screeching noise.
“Jason?” she called his name again. Now she can hear some choking and breathing sounds.
“Jason? What’s going on?” she panicked.
“Char... save me...I think...” he trailed off, breathing hard.
“Where are you? Tell me about the location. What happened? Jason?” she shouted into the phone and got panicked to the core. That’s the last word he said and a loud vehicle sound boomed in her ears.
“Jason?” she screamed into her phone. Charlotte acted fast by trying to find his location in an app. Her hands typed fast on her phone. Finally, she found he’s two kilometres away from the service centre. She was about to call 911 and tell the address so they can reach it before it gets too late.
But some texts popped up on her phone at that time. It’s not a time to read texts but the texts are from Ruby’s phone. She never called Ruby when she’s alive, but somehow, she saved her number. Now Ruby is dead, the threatening person is having her phone.
Ruby: Oh my god! Jason had gotten himself into an accident. You need to act fast or you can’t save him. Iam not the reason for his accident. Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. You know what, right now Becca’s mom is still in school. Iam right here in Roshord high. I left a note telling where Becca’s body was buried in this school. If you and your family don’t want to get caught in this. Then you should grab the note before Becca’s mom sees it. She’s talking with the detectives now. Soon, she will come to the room and take her bag with her. I left the note inside her bag. If she opens it, boom, your life will be over. After finding the body, everyone can easily find out the murders and even if they can’t, I will give them clues.
So, you got two options right now. Grab the note and save you and your sisters, brother's life or go save Jason before something bad happens to him. He will be involved in a terrible accident. Either way, you are going to suffer. But it’s the least option I can give you, Charlotte Lowe.
- MW.
Charlotte read the entire message and wanted to die right there. This is the worst day ever. She needs to do something. Act fast. She’s shivering, trembling.
The four of them life will be in danger if not taking the note or Jason’s life will be in danger. If they find the body, they will find the murderer and there’s no way of escaping from it. Becca’s mom will surely kill them if they got caught.
Charlotte has to decide any one thing. Everything is in hands right now.
A few minutes later, Scott stopped breathing. He’s dead for real.“That’s enough, Ruby. Give me the knife.” Caleb snatched it away from her. It almost has cut his palm in the force.“First of all, how did you even get a knife?”“I found a lot of knives in this room. I got one before Scott came here.” Ruby replied. On the other side, Charlotte was crying so hard.“Please, don’t leave me, Jason. You don’t deserve to die.” She sobbed, hugging him. Jason is too weak to reply to her.“Call 911. Jason’s dying.” Charlotte ordered her siblings. Caleb heard her and took his phone. Will it be too late?“What are we going to do with the body? Should be hidden this murder too?” Caroline asked with fear.“No. The game’s over. There’s no point in repeating the same mistakes again and again.” Ruby said wisely.“Then what are you suggesting, Ruby?” Chloe asked.
Ruby went down the stairs as Charlotte and Chloe followed her. Without having much of a choice, Caleb, Caroline, and Jason followed them. They all ended up in a single room full of many monitors, full black suits in a closet, some electronics like laptops, tabs, cables etc... Caroline stepped carefully without getting trapped in the cables.“Is this Scott’s place to monitor us?” Caroline asked.“What the fuck are you talking about?” Charlotte asked, in complete shock. Her sister hasn’t told the truth yet.“Scott is the threatener, Char. We are sure of it.” Caleb said, without a doubt.“Wow, a teacher is capable of all these things. His death is coming closer.” Ruby surely said. At the same moment, the large monitor in the middle of the room lightened up.“Congratulations, Caleb. You are right. It’s me, Scott. All this time. By the way, I’m not the one who’s going to die. It’s going to be you,
“Scott? Charlotte’s best friend. The one who came to see her in the court.” Caleb asked for clarification.“Yeah, it’s him. How is he related to Becca? What’s his relationship with her? If Char knows something, she would have told us,” Care wondered and saw someone standing alone on the road.“Is it Jason? Am I right? Can you stop the car, Cal?” she asked as her brother did what she said.“Hey, what are you doing here? Is there any problem?” she asked from the window.“Um...yes...no. I’m not in any trouble. I was just lost in thoughts. I was about to reach home. What are you doing here? You both can’t wander anywhere while the threatener can be anywhere.”“We know. We...” Care turned to her brother. “Can we get help from him in searching all this evidence?”“Do you think it’s a good idea? We can’t get him in any trouble again.”“Yeah. I don’t know but I feel like we sho
“So, what are we doing now?” Chloe asked while keenly entering all the rooms in their house and looking for cameras.“We are going to Becca’s house. How many times do I have to say this?”Caleb let out a sign and made his way out of their house.“Without a plan?” Care questioned.“We will figure it out on the way,” He replied. Everyone joined him in the car except Chloe.“Hey, aren’t you coming?” Char asked.“No. We really have to find the secret basement and the cameras. I can’t take my mind off it since Ruby said it.”“But we can’t leave you here all alone. Come with us,” Care said. But Chloe is stubborn this time.“I guess someone has to be with her. It’s time for a split-up,” Charlotte said, getting out of the car.They all agreed. Care and Caleb are on their way to Ruby’s house.“So, what’s your plan? Do you have one?”
I couldn’t believe. That the threatener had a secret basement in their own house. The siblings are ready to find the basement. First, they have to cross the first challenge. Trail in the court. It was pretty rough. All they got to have is hope. The undefeatable hope. The anxiety continues to rule in the court until the siblings heard the most important word ever. The one word that could make them feel happier after an eternity.“.... Not guilty,”The siblings almost yelled in happiness and hugged each other. The lawyer looked at them with satisfaction and he glanced back at Daniel. Who’s the reason for their happiness.Caroline broke into her hug with Char and approached Daniel. “Thank you so much. I will never forget this. Ever in my life. I thought everything’s over.... but then...” she got emotional.“Hey, it’s okay. Everything’s alright now. Hereafter, you all even get to be safe from the threatener.
“Stop your useless argument and warnings. No one’s going to do anything to anyone.” Care shouted from her throat.“Why would you think so less of me?” Char asked.“It’s not about that. Right now, this is not the right conversation.”“I will get to the point. We need help from you, Ruby. And you won’t be saying ‘no’ to that. I’m sure of it,” Care added.“Really? What’s your request? Let me hear it.”“We four of us will be out of prison after the trial in the court. Since the killer is standing right in front of me, we will be free in some weeks. Plus, what Charlotte did was self-defence and we will even get extra protection in our house to protect us from the threatener. The detective is searching for him without sleep...”“Okay. Stop it. Come to the point. I don’t want to hear all your advantages,” Ruby interrupted her.“Fine. Tell me everything you know about MW. Tell
