Chapter 2: CHAPTER TWO : THE MURDER
[Jones runs to his home and gets alcohol and gloves and runs back to that place.]
He was having second thoughts but he doesn't want Lucas to be alone.
Take this, wear the gloves, says Jones.
Lucas cleans the knife with alcohol and they both move the body under the broken wall, they take the alcohol bottle with them.
Walking to the house, neither of them says a word.
Jones lays in his bed with his eyes wide open and could see blood all over his hands, he goes to the bathroom and try to clean himself up but watching blood running with water through his hands, it was making him crazy, he was scared and numb. So was Lucas, they both didn't sleep that night but they had to pretend that everything is okay, so the next morning they both meet in school and both of them doesn't talk about the knife, dead body, cover and everything that happened last night.
Just as they were passing through the principal's office, they saw Harry's parents with the principal. They got frozen, they decided to pass away as if they don't know anything but an announcement was made, 'anybody who knows anything about Harry's whereabouts, please meet in the office'. Those words made them feel more worried and guilty about what happened last night.
The day passed, somehow both of them managed to pull themselves together and tried to keep their minds sane.
That day, Jones returns from the cafe early because he was feeling sick.
[8.45 pm, Lucas and Jones watching TV - Weather report, Unpredicted Thunderstorm in many parts of America. ]
[Ding Ding]
Lucas, can you check the door, please.
Yeah, sure.
[Ding Ding]
I am coming.
[Lucas, opens the door]
H-Ha-Harr!? No-No, this is not possible.
Who's it? Lucas? Lucas?
[Jones stood up to look for the door himself]
Lucas? Where the hell are you?
[He looks around his house, but didn't see Lucas.]
Lucas, it's raining now, I am going inside, I am not getting into your stupid pranks, okay! Bye.
[He still looks for Lucas, then comes inside his home]
[TV's signal goes away, and suddenly comes back and the channel changes itself]
What!? Lucas, this is old okay, do something new.
[Windows start to open and close due to wind]
Jones closes the windows and turns.
[Harry, all in blood smiles at Jones with a knife, he yells and stabs Jones]
Aaaaaahhhhhh! (loudly)
[Jones wakes up gasping]
His heart was beating so fast and he was scared as hell. The guilt of that night was eating him up. He decided not to go anywhere that day.
Day passes with him being scared and ill, the only thing he could think about was Harry and what he and Lucas did to his dead body.
[He switches the TV on. Weather report, Unpredicted thunderstorm to hit in many parts of America today]
Just as he hears the news, it reminds him of the scene he dreamt of in the morning.
[Ding Ding]
This can't be a coincidence, he was frozen and scared.
[Ding Ding Ding Ding]
Oh My God!
He picks up the phone to call Lucas.
[Ding Ding, Jones? Ding-Ding, Jones? says, Ellyn]
Ellyn? Jones exhales and opens the door.
Why did you take so long? exhales Ellyn. Anyways, are you okay?
Yeah! I mean I am good, what - why are you asking though?
I heard about Harry.
What? What are you talking about? [Jones got numb]
Oh! you haven't heard? They found Harry's body near Streetwear Lane.
What? how's - how's that possible?
What?
I mean, Harry's dead?
Yes, I am sorry. I thought you know and that's why you didn't come to school. Do you know anything? About Harry or anything?
No-No, I don't, how would I know?
Okay. Umm, I guess, I should go now.
Yes, I mean no if you want you can stay for a bit longer.
No, no that's okay. See you tomorrow?
Yeah. See you tomorrow.
[Ellyn moves outside and Jones closes the door]
How's it even possible, Lucas and I hid the body under the broken wall, the next street, how can it move to Streetwear?
He decides to go to the house and check for it himself.
He wears the raincoat and takes a torch with him.
When he reaches the house, he looks around and enters inside. But he couldn't believe his eyes because Harry's body was not there. He was horrified.
Just as he turns, Ellyn was standing behind him. Jones yells loudly, Aaahh, Ellyn? breathing heavily.
I knew you were up to something.
No-No, I was here because
Because??
Because I-I lost my phone, I was looking for my phone.
Oh! Really, don't you live next street? How is your phone lost here? While killing Harry? (looking intensely)
What? no-no, why would I kill Harry? (breathing heavily)
You tell me, Jones. Because I saw blood in your's and Lucas's hand from my balcony the night Harry was murdered and as far I can recall, you were the one giving that paper to Harry when I entered the class, and that paper was found near Harry's dead body, yells Ellyn. I am calling Sheriff right now.
No-no please Ellyn listen to me before you do anything stupid. I didn't kill him I swear, check anything fingerprints or whatever but I didn't do anything.
Oh really? Then what was that blood on your hand that night?
Okay, I will tell you the truth but not here.
Why would I go with you? So that you could kill me too?
For God's sake, I haven't killed anybody and I won't hurt you too. Just listen to me okay, I didn't kill him, we did hide his body but that was a mistake because we were terrified that we would be the ones to go to jail because we saw the body. He lost his breath in front of us, says Jones breathing heavily.
What? Why would you do that? Because that night Harry and Lucas were supposed to meet here to talk about their relationship. But when Lucas came here, he saw a knife inside Harry's body, and he got scared so he took the knife out of his body. And I was returning from Tate's and I heard something when I entered this house. It was already done. I swear, I didn't do anything. And why in hell would I take Harry's body from here to that Streetwear? I came here to check if you told the truth.
Yes, I did but I don't think you are telling the truth.
Come on, why would I come to check here, if I were to throw his body near Streetwear? I am not nuts, okay. yells Jones.
Ellyn saw his eyes and believed him. She says,
Okay, but this is big, you'll end up in jail. They'll find out what happened and every evidence is against you guys. We have to do something.
[Thunder hits]
Let's go to my place first, says Jones.
Okay, but first we have to check if we can find something here.
Okay.
[They look around that place but didn't find even a drop of blood]
That's weird, Lucas and I placed the body under this wall, it was blood everywhere and now it's nothing. How's that even possible?
I can do one thing if this place was the evidence of who killed Harry, I know someone who can help.
[Ellyn dials the phone - Hello, Dr. Marcus? exhales, I need your help.]
[Ellyn and Jones sitting at Jones place looking at the board they pinned with the murder case]
What if Lucas did this? I mean you said you saw him with the knife, right?
No, he can't, he loved him.
Well, maybe he's lying.
Why would he kill Harry, there is no reason.
Maybe we don't know. Maybe they had a fight and Lucas got aggressive and stabbed him.
No, Lucas is afraid to kill even a spider. Trust me, he can not do this.
(exhales deeply) hmm, okay. Do you remember? I told you that in the music room, Harry freaked out, the day you crashed into me?
Yeah! Yeah! I do remember.
He saw somebody there and said that everyone will die.
Did he say something weird before the music class? I mean you guys talked a lot, right?
Yeah, we did talk a lot and he was okay in the morning but after music class, he said something about principal Beewood yelling at Ms. Daisy in his office.
What? Really?
Yes, Harry told me that something is up to them. I didn't understand but Mr. Beewood asked Harry to come with him while we were talking.
Lucas and I heard Mr. Beewood yelling at someone too. I think we should talk to Ms. Daisy.
Yeah, okay. We'll talk to her tomorrow in school. And we'll get the reports tomorrow too.
Okay, thanks for helping and believing.
Well, (smiling) you may be annoying, but you're not a killer and even if you were you're not that stupid to take a body to Streetwear so that anybody can find it. Also, the way you screamed when you saw me in that house, (laughs Ellyn)
Chuckles Jones. Yeah, I had a bad dream about the same, so.
Hey, (in a polite tone) don't worry. I'll help you. Clearly, somebody knows that you and Lucas hid the body and want people to find out, it was a trap, but we'll definitely find out who did this. Okay?
(Jones, looking into her eyes) Yeah!
Bye. (smiles Ellyn)
Bye.
[Next day in the school]
Hello, Ms. Daisy.
Hello Ellyn and umm?
Jones, says, Jones.
Yes Jones, can I help you both with something?
Yes actually, you can.
Can you tell us if know what Harry was talking about in this class, the day he died?
[Ms. Daisy, with a nervous face,] No, I don't know, we all thought he was doing some kind of prank, I mean he was a funny boy after all. And I am really sorry for your loss Mr. Jones says Daisy by touching Jones's shoulder. I have to go now.
Wait, Ms. Daisy, we know you're hiding something.
Harry heard you fighting with principal Beewood that day, says Ellyn. I think you two were hiding something and Harry heard you and that's why you killed him.
Shut up Ellyn, you can not blame your teacher. I would tell Mr. Beewood, you'll be suspended if you behave this way again. Do you understand?
Yeah, I am really sorry Ms. Daisy, I think I should go to the sheriff and tell him this, he will handle it better, right Jones?
No-No, I mean it's nothing, why would you do that?
Hah? Maybe if you tell us, we won't tell anybody.
(Exhales sharply) Okay, close that door.
[Jones shuts the door and sits down with Ellyn in front of Ms. Daisy.]
Last week, after school was over, Mr. Beewood and I were talking about Harry. Beewood wanted to expel him.
What? But why?
Because (exhales) I can't tell you. But it's not good. Harry was on the wrong track.
Please, Ms. Daisy, you have to tell us, because it's not just about him. You have a kid too, right? And before Harry died, he said 'He is back, he'll kill all of you.' You have to help us with the full truth.
[Daisy, breathing heavily] What? He's back?
[Ellyn and Jones look at each other with a confused face]
Who? Do you know, who he was talking about?
Oh! kids, you better not know anything about all of this. Just go to your classes. I'll better talk to the sheriff than you. I don't want you to be in any trouble, do you understand? Now, move to your classes. Now, yells Daisy.
[Ellyn and Jones come out of the room]
They both were more curious about everything. Then, Jones comes up with an idea.
Hey, I have an idea.
What?
Every Saturday, principal Beewood works till 5 here in his office. Ms. Daisy will definitely talk to him about us telling her this stuff, we can spy on them.
[With a smile, says Ellyn] Yeah, I love spying. (scoffs)
Scoffs Jones.
After school, Ellyn and Jones hide in the storeroom till students leave.
[In the storeroom]
Doesn't this feel like a movie or something? (says Ellyn smiling)
Chuckles Jones, yes detective Ellyn. The way you made Ms. Daisy nervous. Woah.
[Chuckles Ellyn] I mean it's teamwork, after all, you came up with this idea.
Jones looks at her with an intimate face, she looks at him the same way, and asks did you had that dream again, last night?
No. I slept well knowing I have your back.
They both look at each other and felt intimate, they could hear each other's breathe. Jones comes closer, touches her cheeks with his thumb slowly, placing his hand on her neck, they both close their eyes and lean towards each other to kiss.
[Voice of unlocking door]
They both get nervous and look at each other.
