BACK TO ROSHORD
“First of all, Ruby’s death is not an accident. After much research, we came to know there’s a bomb fixed on the work in progress house on purpose. First, everyone thought there’s a leakage in the gas which is obviously not possible. It’s just an excuse that made my Roshord school to stop their school from sealing it. This made it clear, Roshord high is a careless school. We still don’t know who did this on purpose to hurt the students from Roshord high school.” the report stopped and the image shifted to the burning house on the day when the lacrosse match happened.
Caleb looked down from seeing it again. Care kept her hand on his shoulder to make him relax. Her touch gave him a relaxation that their sisters were here for him.
“Now about Becca’s disappearance.” the reporter started. The tension in the hall increased hearing Becca’s name.
“It’s confirmed that she’s been murdered. There’s enough evidence of her blood in the school. There’s something happening at Roshord high and like I said, the protection is not well-enough. So, every student in the school will be investigated. We are not blaming students but we are doing this to stop the further problem from...” the reporter’s face vanished, the television went black and there’s a large crack in the middle of it. Caroline blinked at it in confusion. She looked down to find the tv remote was down on the floor. Everyone’s eyes turned towards Charlotte, who’s the one who broke the TV. Again.
“Why are you looking at me? Now there will be no more updates of Becca’s murder. See, it’s completely broken. No one should repair it ever again. It’s not my fault. It's supposed to happen.” She pointed at it like she got nothing’ to do with it.
“Calm down, Charlotte. Breaking it is not going to solve anything.” Caroline raised her eyebrows.
“Should have broken it earlier. I would have not seen Ruby’s death accident again,” Caleb told, still looking down.
“Do I have to tell it twice? Breaking it is no use,” Caroline made herself clear.
“So, what can we do? Watch it like everything’s fine?” Charlotte asked.
“We should play it cool. They are only going to check on students. So, they can’t find your handprint. Just act your level best and finish the day off.” Care explained, looking at Chloe and Caleb, who are still studying in Roshord. Both nodded their head.
“Hereafter, please promise there will be no lies within us,” Chloe pathetically asked them.
“There will be no lies,” Caroline showed her hands to make a promise. Without hesitation, Chloe put her hands on Care’s hand. Charlotte and Caleb looked at each other before promising.
“Fine. Now there will be no more lies. We are going to take down the secret threatener as a group.”
“Yes, As I already killed a girl, so I won’t be afraid of killing this threatener once he or she caught in our hands,” Charlotte sounded confident and cruel.
After 3 days:
“Are you leaving me here halfway to the school? I won’t walk by myself, Caleb,” Charlotte shouted in the middle of the road while Caleb forgot to bring a book in tension.
“I need to take it. I can’t go without it. Today there’s a test after investigation,” Caleb explained, popping his head through the Car’s window. Chloe and Caroline are already in school right now. Charlotte is the one who’s going to be late.
“If Iam a teacher, that doesn’t mean I can go later.” She yelled again, but he turned his car like there’s no one talking with him.
“Sorry, Charlotte. You really need to walk. Don’t be lazy.” He simply told and drove off.
“Such a good brother.” She told herself, walking her way to school. In fact, it’s not that long. But she practised protecting her hair from dust. Within ten minutes, Roshord high is visible to her site. There’s only one road to cross to reach the school. She took the turn and stopped in a track by seeing a person she never imagined right now.
“Jason,” she muttered, seeing him right in front of her eyes. He’s dressed formally for school but still looked hot for Charlotte.
“Hey. Iam back,” He smiled, but Charlotte makes the move of hugging him in the road didn’t care about any other people.
“Is everything okay?” he hugged back in confusion but happy to feel her right in his arms.
“Iam sorry. I didn’t mention my return to Roshord,” he said, thinking she will be angry about that.
“Well, Iam not angry at all,” she lied, still hugging him.
“Are you going to stay in his position forever,” he whispered in her ear.
“Maybe or maybe not,” She unsurely answered, looking up at him.
“Can I have an explanation of why you left without telling anything?”
“Like I said, I went to meet my family. My mom is sick, so I got really worried.”
“Is she okay now?”
“Indeed, yes, but I thought of staying there for a while but due to Becca’s disappearance or murder, I need to come back to Roshord.” he casually replied.
“You got nothing to do with Becca. Why do they call you?” Charlotte seriously asked, letting go of his arms?
“Becuse I was there at the homecoming. Till this case is solved, everyone needs to be in Roshord.” Charlotte got sick of hearing this about Becca’s issue. But seeing Jason relaxed her a lot.
“Okay. Iam glad you are here right now.” He threw her arms around his arms again.
“Iam glad too. But are we going to stay like this in front of many people? What if anyone in school saw us like this?” He questioned, smiling a little.
“I don’t care. Do you?” she raised her eyebrows.
“Um... I don’t” he brushed her hair off her face and pulled her for a kiss. She kissed him back, letting all the bad moments erased with ease. She felt more relieved than before. She doesn’t feel so good like this by kissing any other boys in her life. Jason’s still not her boyfriend. Having him as her boyfriend while working in Roshord is kinda difficult, but she has never been attracted to anyone before. She didn’t know what he’s feeling for her but she’s sure that she’s having more feelings for him even though they spent less time together.
“I want to stay like this so badly.” She broke the kiss and smiled at him.
“Then you should come to my home tonight,” he whispered in her ear making his way to give kisses on her neck. For a second, she was distracted by the thought of getting caught due to this investigation. Soon they took the thought away by thinking they won’t investigate teachers.
“I will.”
BILL’S WEIRD BEHAVIOR “That’s what I wanted to hear. Now we can go to school,” Jason wrapped his arms around her shoulder, hugging. They both made their way back to school. Charlotte seemed so happy to see Jason today. While at the school, Caroline walked into the kitchen crossing all the students and people who were already eating their breakfast in Roshord cafe. Today there’s more crowd in the cafe. Even detectives, reporters are eating here. Suddenly, Caroline spotted Becca’s mother angrily pointing hands at someone and acting harshly just like her daughter. Care took her wandering eyes and walked straight. “Hey Care, baby,” Care heard some familiar voice while bumping into someone. But who will call her like that? She’s never been called that. She took some steps back to notice the person. “Bill.” “Yep. It’s me.” He looked brighter than the last time. Last time she lied to him about being involved in a car accident after hav
IT’S NOT A MATCH A formal woman dressed in a coat suit motioned Chloe to step inside. She wearing specs and looked like not slept for many days. She’s with a notebook and pen. Chloe worried more about seeing Becca’s mother, who is watching her like she’s some kind of serial killer. There’s another man standing holding an object that looks like an iPad. But it’s quite different from it. Its length is enormous and a wide-breadth. “Keep your hands on it.” the woman ordered. Chloe slowly kept her hoping nothing bad happens even though she’s not the one who killed Becca. “Now take a seat.” Chloe felt more uncomfortable near Becca’s mother. Her look is so fierce. There are more wrinkles on her face and looked sleepless, just like the investigated woman. Chloe felt guilty about seeing her. But Becca’s mother won’t even know Chloe. Maybe she’s just looking furiously at everyone. “So, where have you been from seven to nine on homecoming day, Chloe?” t
WILL THEY ESCAPE? “Take a seat and explain it clearly. Did they get your fingerprint?” Caleb asked her while she took and folded her apron. “They already took my handprint. It’s not a match, but they asked too many questions and she is so rude.” Care slammed her hand on the table. “Where did they investigate?” “On the first floor. They are going to check on teachers. It’s getting worse.” “Oh, my gosh. Charlotte will be in trouble. How did you manage to tell?” Chloe panicked. “They asked me to tell me every incident, so I told the truth.” Care casually replied after taking a deep breath. “You told the truth? Are you insane?” Caleb silently yelled at her, trying not to grab any other attentions. “You want to know the truth. The truth is, Bill proposed to me.” “What am I asking you and what you are telling? Wait, a second. Bill did what?” Caleb got perplexed by her sister weird reply. “I got no tim
WHO KILLED HER? Charlotte stood up, almost knocking off the chair she was sitting on. Both of them in the room stared at her like dealing with some devil. She frightened both of them just with her fierce look. All these situations wake her to another tough face inside her. “I think you could sit down. I won’t be telling your personal issues to anyone. It’s none of my business.” The lady clearly told, looking a little frightened. “Iam not going to sit down. Thanks for understanding” Charlotte folded her hands across her chest. She’s ready to escape the room once the fingerprints got matched. “Um... the fingerprints are...” the man trailed off, looking at the computer. Charlotte holds her breath, waiting for him to finish. “It's not a match. You can go. Sorry for troubling you,” he finished, giving Charlotte shock and confusion. She doesn’t know whether to feel glad or further overthink about this. She simply nodded her head and walked
JEALOUS GIRL Finally, Caroline reached the shooting spot in Daniel’s Ferrari. She stepped outside and the Guards were standing beside her. She can’t spot Daniel anywhere. The place has a beach set up with all the technicians, cameras, etc... At the time, it looks like the shooting is over. Everyone is leaving. Care even expected to see any other favourite actress. Cause there are many known celebrities who are engaged in some conversation. The shooting is done outside the building. She really wants to explore the shooting area and the building. Care hopes one day Daniel will take her inside to show how the movie’s being taken. “Where is Daniel?” Care asked the guard. “He will come.” He replied with a stern look. Care waited for over fifteen minutes, not seeing Daniel. Finally, she saw him coming out of the building. She thought of waving at him, but she noticed he’s talking with some other woman. It’s not just a woman, she’s a popular actress w
I LOVE YOU Care blinked her eyes for a few minutes. She can’t believe she wrongly entered his bedroom. She was supposed to go to his office room. Now she can’t turn her feet away from this room. There’s a luxury black bed, some photos of Daniel hanging on the wall. She approached his childhood photo. ‘Daniel is so adorable,’ Care muttered seeing it. Daniel has a six-year-old kid standing on the Playground giving poses to the photo. That’s the only childhood pic. Another portrait caught her eyes. It’s his drawing at his current age. It’s so perfectly painted. Seeing paintings gives her a reminder of Chloe. She is talented too. Other than photos, there’s a laptop and some documents neatly arranged on his desk in a corner. If he already has an office, why keep it in this room. The room is painted in White and every object looked like it’s worth a million dollars. “What are you doing here, Caroline?” Daniel’s voice alerted Care. She turned towards the do
GAME ON Care shrieked, seeing Michael interrupted him. His entry embarrassed Michael. “Iam so…sorry... sir.” he stammered with the coffee cup is still in his hands. “Michael, get out now. I don’t need coffee.” Daniel shouted and Michael ran after closing the door. “Who wants coffee when I can have you.” Daniel touched Care’s cheek. He started kissing again and his hands travelled inside her top. She stopped kissing and looked at him. “Let’s take it slow.” “No offence. I can wait for you. Iam so happy right now. You accepted my proposal. Iam happy to have you as my girlfriend.” he lay next to her by facing each other closely. “Daniel Evans is my boyfriend. You don’t know how happy Iam.” she smiled at him, placing her hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. “But I have one condition.” “What’s that? Everything is going well.” he got panicked by her condition. “Nothing serious. I
Becca’s body or saves Jason ‘What can I do right now? I need to decide quickly. I can stay in prison for years, but I can’t lose Jason forever. Iam thinks Iam in love with him within this short period of time’ Charlotte thought to herself and called 911. Soon she reached the destination, and the ambulance arrived before she did. She ran and came all by herself to see Jason’s car on the edge of a bridge. It’s in a state of falling from the long heights. If it moved one inch, Jason’s life is over. “Jason” Charlotte screamed from the top of her lungs, running towards the car while some men stopped her. “Don’t go there. It’s not safe. The rescue team has already arrived.” That stranger consulted her while Charlotte was sobbing continuously. She never cried like this in her life. Not even for their parents dead, or for murdering Becca. The moon started to show up in the sky. The car is so invisible to other eyes to notice. I
A few minutes later, Scott stopped breathing. He’s dead for real.“That’s enough, Ruby. Give me the knife.” Caleb snatched it away from her. It almost has cut his palm in the force.“First of all, how did you even get a knife?”“I found a lot of knives in this room. I got one before Scott came here.” Ruby replied. On the other side, Charlotte was crying so hard.“Please, don’t leave me, Jason. You don’t deserve to die.” She sobbed, hugging him. Jason is too weak to reply to her.“Call 911. Jason’s dying.” Charlotte ordered her siblings. Caleb heard her and took his phone. Will it be too late?“What are we going to do with the body? Should be hidden this murder too?” Caroline asked with fear.“No. The game’s over. There’s no point in repeating the same mistakes again and again.” Ruby said wisely.“Then what are you suggesting, Ruby?” Chloe asked.
Ruby went down the stairs as Charlotte and Chloe followed her. Without having much of a choice, Caleb, Caroline, and Jason followed them. They all ended up in a single room full of many monitors, full black suits in a closet, some electronics like laptops, tabs, cables etc... Caroline stepped carefully without getting trapped in the cables.“Is this Scott’s place to monitor us?” Caroline asked.“What the fuck are you talking about?” Charlotte asked, in complete shock. Her sister hasn’t told the truth yet.“Scott is the threatener, Char. We are sure of it.” Caleb said, without a doubt.“Wow, a teacher is capable of all these things. His death is coming closer.” Ruby surely said. At the same moment, the large monitor in the middle of the room lightened up.“Congratulations, Caleb. You are right. It’s me, Scott. All this time. By the way, I’m not the one who’s going to die. It’s going to be you,
“Scott? Charlotte’s best friend. The one who came to see her in the court.” Caleb asked for clarification.“Yeah, it’s him. How is he related to Becca? What’s his relationship with her? If Char knows something, she would have told us,” Care wondered and saw someone standing alone on the road.“Is it Jason? Am I right? Can you stop the car, Cal?” she asked as her brother did what she said.“Hey, what are you doing here? Is there any problem?” she asked from the window.“Um...yes...no. I’m not in any trouble. I was just lost in thoughts. I was about to reach home. What are you doing here? You both can’t wander anywhere while the threatener can be anywhere.”“We know. We...” Care turned to her brother. “Can we get help from him in searching all this evidence?”“Do you think it’s a good idea? We can’t get him in any trouble again.”“Yeah. I don’t know but I feel like we sho
“So, what are we doing now?” Chloe asked while keenly entering all the rooms in their house and looking for cameras.“We are going to Becca’s house. How many times do I have to say this?”Caleb let out a sign and made his way out of their house.“Without a plan?” Care questioned.“We will figure it out on the way,” He replied. Everyone joined him in the car except Chloe.“Hey, aren’t you coming?” Char asked.“No. We really have to find the secret basement and the cameras. I can’t take my mind off it since Ruby said it.”“But we can’t leave you here all alone. Come with us,” Care said. But Chloe is stubborn this time.“I guess someone has to be with her. It’s time for a split-up,” Charlotte said, getting out of the car.They all agreed. Care and Caleb are on their way to Ruby’s house.“So, what’s your plan? Do you have one?”
I couldn’t believe. That the threatener had a secret basement in their own house. The siblings are ready to find the basement. First, they have to cross the first challenge. Trail in the court. It was pretty rough. All they got to have is hope. The undefeatable hope. The anxiety continues to rule in the court until the siblings heard the most important word ever. The one word that could make them feel happier after an eternity.“.... Not guilty,”The siblings almost yelled in happiness and hugged each other. The lawyer looked at them with satisfaction and he glanced back at Daniel. Who’s the reason for their happiness.Caroline broke into her hug with Char and approached Daniel. “Thank you so much. I will never forget this. Ever in my life. I thought everything’s over.... but then...” she got emotional.“Hey, it’s okay. Everything’s alright now. Hereafter, you all even get to be safe from the threatener.
“Stop your useless argument and warnings. No one’s going to do anything to anyone.” Care shouted from her throat.“Why would you think so less of me?” Char asked.“It’s not about that. Right now, this is not the right conversation.”“I will get to the point. We need help from you, Ruby. And you won’t be saying ‘no’ to that. I’m sure of it,” Care added.“Really? What’s your request? Let me hear it.”“We four of us will be out of prison after the trial in the court. Since the killer is standing right in front of me, we will be free in some weeks. Plus, what Charlotte did was self-defence and we will even get extra protection in our house to protect us from the threatener. The detective is searching for him without sleep...”“Okay. Stop it. Come to the point. I don’t want to hear all your advantages,” Ruby interrupted her.“Fine. Tell me everything you know about MW. Tell
Meanwhile, Jason was talking with Charlotte. He can only wish to be in jail with her. On the other side, Ian came to visit Chloe. Chloe’s mood brightened after seeing Ian, but her fury grew after seeing another person.“What’s up, Chloe? Do you like it here?” Taylor spoke on the telephone.“What are you doing here? You already ruined my life. What else do you want?”“I want nothing. I just came to see you as a friend,”“Friend? Those days passed a long time ago.” Chloe laughed. All that Chloe can do is imagine herself breaking the glass without them and beat Taylor. She imagined herself killing Taylor with cold-blooded hands. Even if she’s not capable of it, she can change herself.“What are you thinking?” Taylor snapped her fingers.“Nothing. Just wishing that you could die one day,”.....Caleb preferred not to talk with anyone. He’s not even ready to meet
“Hey there, friends. What are you all talking about?” Ruby interrupted the four of them after she finished her enquiry with the detective.“First of all, we are not your friends. Whatever we are talking about is none of your business. Do you understand, Ruby?” Caroline said.“Nope. I don’t. We all were friends once. Why can’t it happen again?”“Because you betrayed us,” Caleb replied. Ruby stared at him and left. Soon, they were back in the cell. There’s no hope of getting out of here. At least for a while. But Ruby will be in jail for more than a year. She deserves it. That’s all anyone could say.Finally, the day has arrived. When all the siblings got a chance to meet their friends. Whoever is willing to see them.Caroline took the telephone, watching Daniel on the other side through the glass. Yes, it’s Daniel, and he’s here to see her.“Hey,” he spoke on the telephone, unsure o
“What?” the detective raised her eyebrows.“My sister Caroline got a threatening message from an unknown person named Mysterious wickedman. He’s the only one who knows that we killed Becca the very next day. He asked her to meet in an abandoned house near the graveyard. At the same time, my brother Caleb was at the place too. That Bastard tried to kill both of them. But somehow, they escaped by jumping from the window with some injuries. That was just the beginning. He did a lot to us.”“So, what’s his name again? Do you even recognize him? I hope you are not fooling me with an imaginary story,”“What the hell? Do I look like lying? We are all close to death every single day due to him.” Charlotte stood up, shouting at the detective.“Then what do you expect me to do? I can’t believe everything just like that. I’m supposed to seek evidence. Or else how would I even get this job?” She shouted back. They bo
