Lunch... Tiama and TheDeuce were behind the band hall smoking cigarettes. Axlotl was playing with his cell phone. No one knew where Clot was. Clot sometimes disappeared during lunch time. The guys never asked where he went and Clot never told them. Just one life's mysteries. Axlotl dialed a number on the cell phone. The line rang three times before Det. Hill answered. Ax cleared his throat and said, "There's a clue in Suzanne's desk. Look deep inside." He quickly hung up the phone. "I hope this works, Ax," TheDeuce replied. Ax sighed. "Me too." Meanwhile... Shrew was behind the gym. He was waiting on someone. He was waiting for the murderer. After Det. Hill interrogated him, Shrew demanded to meet here during lunch. They had to discuss their plan. Shrew didn't want to go to jail for a murder he didn't commit. The Murderer arrived. "What are we going to do? I can't go on lying for you anymore!" Shrew cried. "We have to turn ourselves in." The last thing Shrew saw before he died was the glint of a razor. The Murderer slashed Shrew across the throat before he had a chance to scream. Shrew fell to the ground, clutching his throat. The Murderer stood over him. The blade came down once more. No one would ever see Shrew again. Meanwhile... AudreyHorne didn't go to the playground for lunch. She went to the library to catch a quick nap. Audrey had stayed up late the night before, watching The Sixth Sense on pay per view. She didn't get much sleep after that. She sat at a table in the back of the library. She had her head down. She was asleep. And she was dreaming...... "Hey there, Audrey. Nice to see you." Audrey was in the playground, sitting in a swing. TheNewKid sat in the swing next to her. He was dressed all in black. His skin was very pale. But his lips were bright red. TheNewKid was wearing lipstick. Audrey found this odd and was about to comment on it, when TheNewKid said, "I have a secret." "What secret?" Audrey asked. "What do you want to tell me?" TheNewKid looked around nervously. "My girlfriend killed me." The hairs on Audrey neck stood on end. "Who was your girlfriend?" TheNewKid shook his head and said, "That I cannot tell. I will, however, tell you this. There is a clue in my bedroom. Tell Det. Hill to look in my closet." "But what's in your closet? Why can't you just tell me who did it? Why are you talking in riddles!"Audrey demanded. "There has been another murder." The lunch bell rang, waking Audrey from her sleep. The dream was fresh in her mind. She quickly grabbed her spiral notebook and wrote everything down so she wouldn't forget anything. She didn't know if her dream was just or dream, or a vision of some sorts, but she wasn't taking any chances. Audrey had to tell Hill about it, never-the-less. Audrey gathered up her things, and headed for Ms. Crabtree's class. Back in class... TheDeuce could barely keep himself from laughing. Every time he looked over at Suzanne, the image of her behind bars, scared, totally isolated, stripped of all her rights, would come to him and it really turned him on. He couldn't wait to see her being led out of the classroom in handcuffs. Suzanne sat at her desk, day dreaming of Det. Hill. When he and the principal came into the classroom, her heart skipped a beat. He was here! Maybe he came to see her. She hoped so. She got even more excited when Hill came directly to her desk. She looked up at him with the biggest smile on her face. Maybe he wants to ask me to the dance, Suz thought to herself. "Suzanne?" the detective said. "Yes, Mr. Hill?" "Open you desk please." Suzanne didn't understand. What did he want in her desk? There wasn't anything of interest in it. Maybe he put a present in side! Suz opened her desk. Hill peered inside. He reached in the back, and pulled out a zip lock bag filled with heroin. Everything started to happen so fast. Suzanne didn't know what was going on. Det. Hill placed handcuffs on her. The Principal shook his head with a look of disgust on his face. Ms. Crabtree looked utterly shocked, covering her mouth with her hand. The children started whispering things. Things about her. Hill led Suzanne out of the classroom. She turned her head on the way out and saw TheDeuce and Axlotl. They were both smiling. TO BE CONTINUED... Next Time on Murder on the Playground: Suzanne gets in trouble, then gets some help. Sweetone:) has lunch with her secret boyfriend. Hill checks out TheNewKid's bedroom. |
