Semua Bab Whispers of the Heart: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Vanessa and I made our way down the hall and were inside the Photo Lab with the door closed and the light on before either of us spoke another word.“He seemed really nice.” I said as I turned the computer back on.“Yeah, he did. I’ve seen him before but never spoken with him. It makes me feel better with him in the building with us, ya know.”“I know exactly what you mean. I was feeling the same way. This building is just creepy at night but I’ve been on edge tonight anyhow.”“What do you mean?”“It’s gonna sound silly but there were a couple times tonight that I had this feeling like I was being watched.”“Really? Usually those feelings are legit, Aurora. That gut feeling or intuition is part of the body’s natural defense system. I always listen to whatever my gut is telling me.”“Me too but it would come and go. The first time I felt it and it wouldn’t go away, I actually took photos of the crowd. Like the entire crowd. I made it look casual and random but I wanted to get those phot

Vanessa jumped up and headed toward the front door.“Wait! I have to finish this transfer!” I reminded her. “It’s saying ninety-nine percent.”“How about if I go let them in and we come back?”“That will work. It should be finished by then. Sorry we didn’t get a chance to look at them. Always Monday for that, I guess.”“That’s fine. I’ll be right back with the boys.”She walked out and the door closed back behind her as I watched the computer screen, waiting for the transfer so I could eject the USB and clear the camera. I heard the door open again and I knew she hadn’t had time to get down there yet. I spun around and it was Harold, standing there with a smile.“Sorry to bother you, Miss. I was just gonna grab the trash in here. I thought I heard you all leaving.”“That’s okay, Harold. Come on in. She went downstairs to let our boyfriends in since I wasn’t finished yet. They were acting like something might be wrong. Have you heard anything?”He looked puzzled. “No but I usually don’t

Owen turned to me as soon as the situation outside the cafeteria doors seemed to be better under control.“So, what happened tonight in the bathroom?”I quickly spilled to him and Danny about my near altercation with the cheerleader earlier. From running into her and apologizing to the exact exchange between us afterwards. Then, coming out of the restroom and not seeing her or anyone else around and coming back down to the field. I also told them about the weird feeling of being watched throughout the evening.Owen had a grim look on his face and I could just see the gears turning in his head. What if it had been me missing? I was thinking it, too. Especially now that it was looking like I very possibly was the last person to see Alexis before she went missing. We had no clue where she was or what fate she had met and until we did, everyone was going to be on edge.Principal Sterling stepped back in and walked back to the podium. He held his hands up to get everyone’s attention and to

The moment we made it home, Owen wasted no time in locking the door, grabbing a couple bottles of water from the fridge and scooping me up after he handed them to me to carry. He strolled down the hall, a man on a mission. As we entered the bedroom, he ceremoniously laid me down on the bed with a breathtaking kiss. He took the bottles of water from me, setting them on the nightstand before closing and locking the bedroom door.He was tearing clothing from his body and tossing it to the side as he stalked back toward me, that predatory glint in his eyes. Our hunger for one another was a much needed distraction from everything that had happened in the last couple hours and Owen was finally ready to claim his victory.He made quick work of discarding my clothing, leaving me in nothing but my bra and panties as he stood over me, looking appreciatively up and down my body. It was the same look I was giving him as my focus centered on the proof of his excitement, barely contained against the

Thankfully Owen was there to catch me as I stumbled back upon hearing what Detective Clements had just said. I just stared at him, shocked and unable to move. Suddenly my ears were ringing and I felt like I could puke at any moment.“She’s dead!” Owen asked in disbelief.“Unfortunately, yes.”“Do her parents know?” I asked in a whisper, remembering how distraught they had been in the cafeteria.“Yes,” he answered with a forlorn expression, obviously haunted by that memory. “They were still here when her body was discovered by one of our K-9 units.”“Where was she found?” I asked, wanting to know how far she was from those restrooms.“I’m sorry. We cannot divulge that information at this time. Details about the investigation and crime scene are being preserved so that we can hopefully catch whoever is responsible as quickly as possible.”“There’s no chance this could have been an accident?” I asked him as I looked back up at him, my vision blurred through unshed tears. “You are one hund
