CHAPTER 8: CORPSE BRIBE (1)

Minutes after the incident the police arrived. The location of the crime has been sealed off with barricades, we can only watch in horror as they remove the corpse out of the poles. The sludgy organs slip out of the body, falling like waterfalls into the ground. Even people who are used to dealing with corpses are disgusted by what happened.

Some students who haven't left the school are curious about the commotion, unfortunately for them, they might get enough sleep after seeing this. When the faculty and the police saw that some students are still in the school. They gather them around and the police asked us one by one like our name, the reason why we are still in the school, and our section.

After the interrogation, the police ask us to call our parents to pick us up. Some parents came, and some ask other parents to pick up their children.

Since I don't have parents anymore, I need to walk to my house alone. In the dark.

"So… what now?" Alica asked tiredly. Hugging her bag tightly.

"We should take some rest first. This has been a terrible experience for all of us." Adrian said.

When we are about to split up Ethan said something.

"Since someone died today… I might be the next, so I will tell you guys all I know." He was assured of this.

All of us stopped on our tracks and looked at each other. Despite our tired faces, these might be the only chance to have these again. And we began forming a circle so that no one can hear us talking. Then Ethan began.

"Alex told me that Sheena told him that April was the accomplice-" before Ethan could finish. Adrian interrupted him.

"Wait what? So it was just a rumor? Ethan, I thought It was important!" Adrian is raging from anger since many people have already died and yet their clue is just a rumor, Adrian is very disappointed.

"Hey! Listen first okay!? My credibility in here is high okay?! look… Alex is my best friend, Sheena is Alex's girlfriend, and April is Sheena's best friend okay." Ethan clarified.

"Ohhh…I didn't think that Ethan likes gossips… Now I know..." Alica mumbled but was heard by everyone.

"Alica that's not on the topic… Ethan, please continue don't mind these two." Eli said. I noticed that Eli became indulged in these, perhaps being a detective is good for him.

"So I was saying, Alex told me that Sheena has become suspicious lately before the field trip Alex as her why and she told him that she can't contact April for weeks," Ethan said.

"Is in it April became an exchange student last… well April? According to the handbook, exchange students will return 3 months after arriving if I am not mistaken? But it's already August…" Kheres miraculously contributed to the discussion.

"Yeah… Sheena hasn't contacted April since July." Ethan said.

"Maybe April is just busy? Or the two of them fight?" Eli asked.

"That is impossible to happen since Sheena and April are neighbors and childhood friends. Anyways, enough of that, Sheena told Alex that- "

Before Ethan can finish his sentence again the police notice us and ask us to go home. We tried to meet in a certain location but the police noticed it and they take us back home.

Since there are only 3 police cars we are split up based on our house location. Alica and Adrian are from the north, Eli and Ethan are from the east, while I and Kheres are from the central area which was the closes.

"I guess this is my last goodbye guys. This might be my end…" Ethan said with a sad voice.

"If you are going to die, I might as well to hahaha…" Eli jokingly said.

"No one is going to die, ah kids these days." Police (East)

"Bye guys see you tomorrow!" Alica said.

And so we entered the police car.
