Tom Clancy The Campus Series Novels & Stories

– K I stared at the phone screen the words blurred together. It was almost dawn, only four hours away, but sleep wasn’t coming. I walked around my small room, my hands and feet cold on the wooden floor, stopping every few steps to look out the window at the shadowed campus below. Blackwood University had stood here for over three centuries, its red brick buildings and ivy-covered walls hiding uncountable secrets in their mortar. How many of those secrets were like Karl? I thought to myself.

Combined with the intense encounter with Marty earlier, I could barely stop myself from taking Elijah right then and there and going a few rounds. He must've sensed the state I was in because he started walking even faster, pulling me along. A new doctor—skilled, young, and handsome—had recently started working at the college's health center. Due to that, lots of female students would find excuses to come in just to catch a glimpse of him. I'd never seen him before, but I'd definitely heard about him. When Elijah and I arrived at the health center, I saw the young doctor talking to a few female students.

he asked, turning toward him. Tom stared directly at his phone screen. “There’s been a shooting on campus.” Noah blinked once. “A shooting?” Confusion immediately tightened across his face. Tom nodded slowly. “Yeah. School’s been locked down.” “What?” The word slipped out before Noah could stop it. His eyebrows furrowed deeply now. “Was anyone injured?” Tom scrolled quickly with his thumb. “Yeah. One person, I think.” His eyes narrowed slightly at the screen. “Ava. The girl famous for being pregnant for Tony.”

Let's go" Paul said. "Which Faculty?" Felix asked. "Computing" I replied. "Computer science?" Stephen asked. "Yeah" I replied. I was a bit surprised to see Paul interact with his friends. They seem to have known each other for a long time. I soon noticed that Stephen was the quietest out of the four. He only laughed between periods and butted in only a few times. "Where is Kola?" Paul asked. Mayo and David burst into laughter "CSC president made him register new intakes" David replied.

My name was Declan Ziegler. I worked as a gatekeeper and security guard at a junior college. I ate, slept, and spent all my time on campus, with hardly a chance to go home and be intimate with my wife. It had been so long without any real release that the strain built up day after day. Late at night, when everything was quiet, it felt as if a restless heat would burn inside me, stirring up inappropriate thoughts that wouldn't settle. The hours for campus security were long, and there was no outlet for the stress. I didn't know how anyone was supposed to put up with it.

He hadn’t liked it. But he’d seen the views climbing. He set his stance. Tomorrow night, the stands would be full. Theta Rho would show up in matching shirts.

My chain of thoughts broke when Jack patted my shoulders. " Coollip?" He asked and I nodded. He forwarded me a packet and I placed it under my tongue . I spat it outside the window after sometime and left the class as it's break time. My phone beeped with a message. " Emergency! Come to the tutorial room near the canteen." It's from Nandhini. I rushed to the tutorial room , I felt like something bad is gonna happen. My steps halted , my heart raced and I felt like my entire world turned upside down in just a moment , my legs shivered .

He laughs outright—a wolfish, unrepentant sound that vibrates straight through her spine. “Let them hear,” he says, pressing his mouth to her bare shoulder. “Let them know you’re ours now.”

Students from the underground arena, The Chairman, Vale, The mysterious man from the photograph, Even jealous classmates…. Every single one had a reason, yet none of them felt completely right. He ran both hands through his hair. "Damn it..." "There are too many enemies.” ******* He returned to campus immediately, the cafeteria was almost empty.. The attendant looked up, "Can I help you?" "I'm looking into what happened earlier." "The attack." The woman's face turned pale. "It was terrible." Kaizen looked around. "There are CCTV cameras here." She nodded. "Yes." "Can I see the footage?”
