Marlon walked out of the school with a pep in his step. Earl also had a small smile on his face, they had their first suspect which they felt took them an eternity to find. "Let's hope he the weak link in this wild goose chase of a case", Marlon said as he sat into the driver's side of the car and Earl typed the address into Google maps. "Let's get over there and ask the little bastard what he was up to", Marlon said, starting the car. Earl was happy that the principal was able to identify the student in the picture, but he was being reserved about his celebration; he didn't want to count all his chickens before they hatched. Google started saying directions and Marlon followed them, it was time.
When lunch came around, Gabe noticed Ross, Faith and Pamela were all treading on eggshells. "What's up, guys?", Gabe asked, taking a drink of his water he had bought to school. "Just some shit going on", Faith said shaking her head, "Someone is going around saying shit". Gabe and Eugene looked at each other with confusion. "What shit is being said?", Eugene asked as he picked at the corn that came with the burnt meatloaf. Ross threw his fork down onto the plastic tray, "Just some stupid rumours", he said, "That I fucked a potato in a graveyard". "Whoever started spreading that around is a dumb fuck", Pamela said, "Like what the hell?". Gabe shook his head, "It will pass, man, don't worry". Ross sighed, "Yeah, hopefully, it does". The group was quiet yet again. Gabe looked up at the clock and saw it was only 1:24, this day was going so slow.
