chapter five !
Once the group had found the gun and rushed back to their cars, JJ had taken a top out of his bag and handed it for Stella to wear as she happily took it - the thought of walking around the Sherriff's office in a bra that stunk like sewers not particularly making her happy. The two boys stood up behind the two girls that were sat down whilst Stella pulled the bandana from around the gun.Shoupe looked to them all individually, holding his eyes on Stella a little longer before sitting straight and sighing, "So ya'll are telling me this is the firearm Rafe Cameron killed Peterkin with?" He asked them all.
Stella was annoyed with the softening her body did at the mention of his name, trying to keep her anger remaining on the boy without bringing the image of the murder memory back. "That's exactly what we're telling you, Shoupe." JJ responded.
"And the exact same firearm that Ward just used to kill Gavin." Pope added to the end of his best friends words.
"I - " Shoupe began before cutting himself off with a sigh, "And where's that corpse again?" He questioned the three of them.
Kiara raised a brow before replying with another question: "Didn't you look?"
"I checked the hospital. I went by his house. He was out." Shoupe recalled with a shrug.
Stella sunk down in her chair, "No shit he was out Shoupe, maybe it's because he's dead?" She exposed, her voice full of annoyance that the man still had the audacity not to believe the four teenagers.
Shoupe shifted in his chair, "Just because he's not in his damn home does not mean he was a victim of a homicide." He told the group, "And you should be glad your father ain't here to pick you up Stella because he asked me to call him the next time you come interfering with this chaos," He pointed to the blonde girl who's lips parted.
"Don't speak to her like that," JJ put his hand on the girls shoulder as she sat forward to remove it off, "I told you this was gonna happen." He turned to Pope in defeat.
"Are you at least gonna send it in for ballistics and shit or are you just gonna sit on your ass?" Kiara began.
JJ turned around with an annoyed expression before turning back to Shoupe and saying: "No, he'll sit there and wax that damn mustache. Is that even real?" He began to grow irritated as Shoupe rose to his feet, causing Stella to do the same as she put her hand on JJ's chest and raised her brows.
"Stop," She put out, "Chill out, we aren't going to get anywhere if you snap," Stella trailed off before returning to her seat.
The blonde boy shook his head at her comment, trying to do as she asked but it appeared to be failing miserably. Shoupe approached his door, pushing it open before ordering: "Get out. Y'all are smelling up my office." He reprimanded.
