(Bechloe)Boston Police Homicide Department

Case 5 - Part 4 : Under Cover Mission

            The two detectives, Beca and Luke, were turning the corner when all of a sudden, someone pulled them by the collar of their shirts, upwards. Beca shriek and flailed but Luke held her by the arm tightly before he motioned to look up, where she found Lily, dangling upside down from a branch with a rope tied around her ankles.

"Lily?" Was Luke's surprised acknowledgement to the quiet Asian,"What the hell, man."

"I knew she was a ninja of some shorts." Beca said after she pulled Luke's hand away from her face, giving the ground below her a glare.

"How'd you even get yourself up here?"Luke asked, grunting as he situated himself beside the girl after hauling himself up.

Beca who is now situated on the same branch as they were, answered,"Well, usually, a normal human would climb up using the trunk of the tree, but I'm interested on how you and her do it in your respective planets." Was Beca's sarcastic retort to the Brit's obvious question.

Luke gave her a pointed stare that she dodge with a roll of her eyes, turning her attention back to Lily,"Do you usually do this at night or are you hiding from Bumper?" She really didn't expect the girl to answer with words but still hoped to get an answer.

And she did. After she gave the question, Lily pointed onto the distant and there they found Bumper, who exited the stolen car, gun and knife in hand.

"Is that Stacie's BMW?" Beca asked, squinting to make sure.

"And Jesse's gun?" Luke asked as well, recognizing the designs of Jesse's desert eagle.

"If he's got all of those..." The shorter brunette's grayish blue orbs widen at the sudden information her brain made up,"That means he already came across Stacie and Jesse."

Luke gave her an alarmed looked,"That means he also came across Aubrey, Amy and Benji!"

They were about to come off the tree when Lily took their attention again, pointing to another place where they found two bodies, lying together, motionless. Dead.

"Denise and Jessica." Beca muttered mournfully under her breath.

"He's heading towards the gym, Beca... He must be following someone." The Brit took her attention away from the innocent girls who got into their mess.

"Okay..." She said and looked at Lily for her to get them down, but before the girl could fully drop them, she bid her, not giving a shit if the girl merely whispers on the phone,"Call Jane, or Maura, the authorities, anyone you can reach and tell them what's happening here..."Beca implored as she was settled down after Luke," We need a crowd to make him hide and make sure to find the girls who's probably scattered all around campus as we speak, please." 

Lily nodded in obidience.

And with that affirmation, Luke and Beca made their way after Bumper who disappeared behind the gym doors.

                                                     Panting. Chloe has been panting in exhaustion for God know's how long, like a vacuum is sucking the very air she's been breathing to be able to stay conscious and alert. She doesn't know why but all she could do was hide under the bleachers, hide against the shadow's she suspect's Bumper lurks in, hide like a scared rabbit that has fallen prey to a hunter. All she could do was pant and hide from all of this because she couldn't think straight anymore, she wasn't trained for this, she was trained to classify how a victim has died, to know how and when they died, she wasn't trained to be the bait, she wasn't trained to be in the field, now here she is, sucking air, though quietly, thinking of all of her friends, those close to her, those very important to her. Beca.
