Chapter 21: The mysteries of Arcadia bay

As Max and Lucy returned to the academy and back to their friends, on the way Max saw a weird man running away with a book that was in an ancient language that no one spoke anymore, Max had a good look at it before it was out of her sight, she then stopped and had to process the information but before she could understand what language it was, she was interrupted by Lucy, she grabbed max and kept on running back to the dormitory making sure that no teacher or groundkeeper would see those two out of their rooms at this time, if they were caught, they would have detention, which would prevent those two from gathering more information about the 'Monroe case'.

As the two of them were sneaking back to Nathans room, Lucy got distracted by a body, she then grabbed Max's arms to get her attention, as Max turned around to ask Lucy what she wanted from her, she saw the body, covered her mouth so she wouldn't throw up and looked away, Lucy then looked at the corpse only to find out that it was a student, Lucy then started to search through the body trying to find and ID or some sort of identification, so she could figure out who this person was.

After a few minutes, Max came back to her senses and decided to look at the corpse more carefully, hoping she could figure out how they died, after looking at it, She had found northing, the only clue was that the person was dead for more than 3 days, Now Max Began to wonder.

If the body had been dead for more then three days, how Come no one has noticed it and how has it not began to decompose?

Max was filled with a hundred questions but no time for answers, Lucy grabbed her hand and began to run away as a teacher began to approach the area where max and Lucy were hiding.

As the two began to run towards the dormitory entrance, Lucy noticed that a teacher was slowly approaching and with nowhere to hide, Lucy pushed Max against the wall and began to kiss her, once the teacher arrived, who then noticed the two girls kissing right in front of the dormitory entrance, the teacher told the two girls to knock it off and to return to their rooms, Max and Lucy listened, walking back to their room, Lucy looked behind her to see if the teacher had moved on, and once the teacher was no longer in their sight, Lucy grabs Max's hand and starts to run towards the boys dormitory, and towards Nathans room, she swings the door open pulls Max into the room and slams the door shut, She then leans against the door, slowly sliding to the ground, trying to catch her breath, the same goes for max.

As Nathan was about to open his mouth to say something, Max cut him off by giving him the Documents which Agent Nakamura gave them, Nathan and Chloe then both decided to look into it and began to do their research properly while Max and Lucy were still trying to catch their breaths.
