WHO DID THIS

MR. ROBERT'S OFFICE

Mr. Belvis Roberts, Laura's father stood up from his desk, quite stressed after attending to a pile of documents on his desk. He called his secretary and ordered her to cancel the rest of his meetings.

"Good, thank you. Bye", he dropped the line and strolled over to a table opposite the door. He took his cup of coffee and trod back to his desk. Just when he was about to settle back in his chair, a strong wind from no where blew and Laura's picture frame on his desk fell to the floor, scattering the pieces of its glass all over the floor. He had the picture frames of his family, Amy, Mya , Laura and Kelvin decorated on his desk in such a way that it's quite impossible to fall off easily. Mr. Roberts gazed down at the frame in awe. "Laura? How is this possible? What's happening?", he mumbled nervously.

SCHOOL

Fred quickly rushed to the door to find out who it was. He trembled at the sight of Alixes and an unknown person to him approaching their direction. "Oh, no, it's Alixes and she's coming this direction".

"Gosh, Damn it! ", exclaimed Patrick, glaring at Ben who stood speechless like a statue. "Will you just be standing there like an Egyptian mummy till she gets here. Come on, do something!"

" Yes, Ben, get us out of this mess. This whole idea was yours anyway", Fred roared angrily, drawing him back to reality.

Ben stuttered, shuffling through the Hall with a grave, haunted and confused look. The footsteps kept getting closer and closer.

"Do something, Ben, I mean now! ", Fred and Patrick yelled.

***********

Alixes barged into the hall looking fixed and befuddled only to find at empty room. She froze in her steps and tears slowly dropped down her eyes. "Laura? Laura? Laura!!!", she shouted in agony, scanning through the hall expectantly but found no one. James sped in, almost bumping into her, "Have you found her?", he queried, searching around as well. Alixes slowly shook her head, down casted with teary eyes as she slowly approached the stage. James quietly followed her in, acting like a detective.

"Isn't that her bag?", he queried, pointing to the second door leading to the back of the theatre after spotting Laura's bag over there.

"Y–yeah..", stuttered Alixes, rushing towards it. She paused and slowly knelt down and picked it up, sobbing. "Laura, where are you? Is my fears really turning into reality?(sobs)".

James hugged her from the back, consoling,"Calm down, Alix, We'll soon find her. She must be somewhere around this place".

Just then, they heard noises coming from the back. Alixes hurriedly sped towards the direction of the sound with James behind her.

***************

Ben, Patrick and Fred quickly laid Laura on the floor. They searched around to make sure no one was behind or watching them. After making sure it was safe, they nodded to each other.

"What should we do now?", Fred queried.

"Hurry, let's bury her here to get rid of every evidence ", Ben mumbled nervously.

"Yeah, you're right", Patrick added, reaching for a hoe at the far corner of the yard. Just then, they heard someone approaching and very close.

"Let's get out of here, someone is coming, hurry"

Fred shouted and scaled over the wall. Patrick and Ben quickly followed, leaving Laura's lifeless body on the ground.

THE ROBERTS' MANSION

Mya and Kelvin sat in the sofa, devastated. They kept calling Laura's line but no hope of getting in touch with her. Mrs Amy rushed in from outside looking all depressed and brooding. Mya and Kelvin immediately approached her, nervous.

"Did you get through her", Mya cried.

"No, Mya. I kept trying her line, it rang but no one answered. So I called your dad to go find out what's going with her".

"I pray all is well with her", Kelvin cried. Mrs Amy gazed down at his son with teary eyes and hugged him in tears. Don't worry, honey, Laura will soon be at home, huh?"

Mya stared at her family with broken heart. She had never witnessed her family drenched in agony. She picked up her phone with her car keys and dashed off.

*************

Alixes and James got to the back of the theatre only to find Laura lying lifeless on the ground. Her heart skipped, "Laura?, Oh my God, Laura! Laura! ", she shouted in tears and rushed to her end with James behind. She sat on the ground and dragged her unto her laps, tapping her cheeks to wake her up.

"Laura? Laura! who did this to you?",she screamed helplessly with tears running down her cheeks.

James pulled her away from Laura and checked her pulse. "Is she okay?", cried Alixes.

"I can't feel her pulse. Hurry, let's get her to the hospital. She's so cold"

He hurriedly carried her and sped off. Alixes took Laura's bag and rushed after him.

*********

James drove off with the speed of lightening. Alixes sat behind with Laura's head on her. She kept shaking her in tears.

"Stay with me, girlfriend,please (sobs and glanced at James) She's so cold".

" Keep rubbing the back of her palm. Hang in there, Laura, we'll soon be there", muttered James with his eyes fixed on the road. There was a little traffic on the road which made it quite difficult for them to go through. He nervously kept horning the car to get a chance to pass.
