The California Adventure

Chapter 16: The Ambush

"Everyone, everyone! Quiet down!" Mr. Garcia spoke to the high school students, who were on the bleachers wondering why they were summoned during 3rd period.

"As you are not aware, there has been a slew of murders going on in this city," the principal went on to speak.

The students were horrified! MURDER? Then the students began buzzing to each other about it.

"Quiet down again," Mr. Garcia spoke up again. "It may be for a specified purpose or it might be random attacks of death, so I called you all here to let you know that there is a killer on the loose, so you are to follow these orders as follow: Rule number one! Stay. In. Groups. Rule number two! Don't go near alleyways or corners around nighttime. It's the dangerous target for killers and other offenders. Rule number three! Be on the lookout for ANY strange activity, even in the slightest possible. Question time, go!"

And that moment on, one question to another. One student said it might be someone in the school, since the violent, aggressive students talk about violence and death, another student suggested someone suggested it might be P.E.A.C.E, because of the news about lately that's caught everyone's attention, and so on, so forth.

"You sure it might be Billie? It sounds like her?" Charlotte asked to Ellen.

"Absolutely sure," Ellen replied.

"Yeah, let's not ask Billie directly, but maybe...you know..."

"Spy on her?"

"Yeah. Good idea! Let's go do that!"

So Ellen and Charlotte decided to spy on Billie, but first, they decided to pick up Nate. And on the way home, Ellen asked Nate if he had any suspicion about Billie, but he said didn't had any issue with the house sitter.

So Ellen and Charlotte decided to get more clues by going to the mall to get clues so they enter Cinnabon, where each got an individual greet by Wendy the waitress.

"Welcome to Cinnabon. Would you like an Cinnabon?" The waitress greeted.

"Um...I'm good, but thanks anyway," Ellen said politely.

"Where shall we sit?" Charlotte asked.

"Over here."

So the two friends sat at a table and begin piecing two and two together on Billie by researching on murders of P.E.A.C.E members. Only issue? Wendy kept bugging the duo by repeating the same question over and over:

"Would you like an Cinnabon?"

"No thanks," Ellen replied.

"Would you like an Cinnabon?"

"No."

"Would you like an Cinnabon?"

Even Ellen was growing impatient. So was Charlotte.

"No thank you," Ellen hissed politely.

"You look ready to snap," Charlotte observed her friend's facial expression.

"I'm about to if doesn't leave us alone," Ellen replied.

"Would you like an Cinnabon?"

"..."

"Would you like an Cinnabon?"

"..."

"Why haven't you snapped yet?" Charlotte gently asked her friend.

"Get your things in case if we do get kicked out," Ellen quietly replied to her friend.

Charlotte nodded and got her things ready as well as Ellen's.
