"There is some food and water here. Let's just stay here for the next couple of days until we run out." Harvey suggests.
Holly and Roy both nod their heads.
"But shouldn't we go out to try and figure out who did all of this? Or find a way out?" Holly asks.
"Holly, let's just wait until the school comes back. We only need to stay here for another week. Plus a couple of nights at school couldn't be that bad right?" Roy asks.
They then stay inside the staff room horrified for the next 3 days. But each day the smell coming from outside got worse and worse. Finally, the 3 of them got the courage to go outside to try and find where the smell was.
As the three of them were walking down the hallway Holly noticed one locker with a lock still on it. But all the other lockers were emptied before the trip.
"Guys, look, the smell is coming from inside the locker," Holly says pointing up the hallway.
Harvey and Roy try to pull it open but it won't budge. But across the hall, there was a mop with some keys around it. Holly runs over and gives the keys to Roy. He tried a couple of keys until the lock clicked open. The locker door swung open. Nigel was inside.
"OH MY GOD! Holly don't look!" Harvey screamed in terror.
But Holly had already looked by the time Harvey had said that. She was in tears crying again. They all start to go back to the staff room. Then they see a mop beside the door. Which wasn't there before. Holly and Harvey walk inside the room. But Roy sees someone walking in the hall.
"I SEE THE JANITOR HE CAN GET US OUT OF HERE!" Roy says while sprinting to the janitor.
Then everything goes silent.
"WAIT ROY NO! I think the janitor is the murderer!" Holly screams bolting outside the staffroom.
