Murder on the Court

Chapter 2

"What?" Bailey said, "that's not funny to joke around about". "But I'm not come on I'll show you," Sierra said as she walked out of the locker room. Bailey sighed, seeing she had no choice, she reluctantly followed her. Sierra was waiting for her at the top of the stairs. When Bailey had joined her they looked into the gym. Bailey gasped. She was staring at a bloody woman tied up in the volleyball net. "You saw this happen?" Bailey asked. "Well I was here when it happened, I just saw it before the murder, I didn't watch it," Sierra said. "We need to go tell someone," Bailey said. "Ok" Sierra said following behind Bailey. After searching all over the school, they realized no one else was there. "Where's coach at?" Sierra asked. "I don't know but she should be here," Bailey said looking around. "Should we call the cops?" Bailey asked. "No, coach can when she gets here," Sierra said. "But we need to tell someone now!" Bailey said, "you can't keep this in you forever, they're going to need to find the murderer". "Yeah but not now, ok?" Sierra asked. "Fine," Bailey muttered. "You'll promise me that-," Bailey began but stopped when she heard footsteps. "Quick, in here" Sierra said as she shoved Bailey into the main office, "get under the desk and be quiet". Sierra and Bailey hid under the desk. Sierra peeked her head out, the footsteps were coming from their coach, who was coming into the building. "It's just coach, but wait here for a sec," Sierra said to Bailey. Sierra and Bailey waited until the coach had gone down into her office before they got up. "Let's go in there and tell her we need the supply closet open for practice. When she goes into the gym she'll see the murder scene," Sierra said. "Alright," Bailey said getting up from under the desk. Bailey and Sierra walked towards their coach's office. "Hey coach," Bailey said as they walked in. "Hello girls" their coach said as she turned around, "ready for practice?". "Yeah but Bailey and I was wondering if you could get the volleyball a out of the supply closet for us, we wanted to warm up before practice starts," Sierra said. "Sure, come on," their coach said as she grabbed the keys to the closet. She stood up and the girls walked out of her office. "Oh my gosh!" coach shrieked as she walked into the gym, "I need to call the police, did you girls know about this?". Both girls shook their heads. "Practice is cancelled, call your parents to pick you guys up," coach said as she dialed the police, "Text your friends and tell them practice is cancelled please". Bailey and Sierra walked out of the gym. "I was really looking forward to practice," Sierra said sadly. "You should have told her you knew about it!" Bailey said tapping Sierra's arm. "I know, I just couldn't right then," Sierra said. "You'd better do it soon," Bailey replied. "I will," is all Bailey heard from Sierra the rest of the evening.
