Murder on the Court

Chapter 9

"Ooh, that's cold," Bailey said as she put her toe into the pool. Sierra nodded her head in agreement from the edge of the pool. "It's not that bad," Alex said splashing Bailey and Sierra. "Alex!"The girls cried in unison. Both of the girls dove into the pool and began to swim after Alex who had made a quick getaway. After a few minutes, the girls gave up on chasing Alex. "Let's go sit in the hot tub," Sierra said to Bailey. The girls climbed out of the pool and made their way towards the hot tub. On the towards the hut tub, Sierra overhead her parents' conversation. "I'm not sure if it's safe to stay here," Sierra's mom said bouncy Sophie on her lap. "I thought it would be okay after the police had left, but it seems as if the murderer is still here," Her dad replied. Her thoughts immediately drifted to the mysterious text message she had received. "What if the murderer is targeting me," Sierra whispered. "What?" Bailey asked. "Nothing, just enjoying this hot tub," Sierra said putting a fake smile on her face. The girls sat in silence. This gave Sierra time to think over her assumption. She went over her thought in her head, I saw the murder at school so maybe the murderer thinks I saw him commit the murder. I also got a weird text message that said to watch my back. Then the same murderer murdered someone at the hotel. And finally we get stuck in the elevator. Her mother interrupted her thoughts, "Alright kids, let's go get something to eat,". Bailey and Sierra stood up from their position in the hot tub. They climbed out and grabbed the towels from the pool chair. Sierra sat down on the chair and shivered. The thought of a murderer targeting her had never left her mind, in fact it had been there the entire time. Again her mom interrupted her thoughts, "Why don't you girls go up to the room and shower," Sierra's dad said," We'll go and get seafood!". With their towels wrapped around them, the girls walked to the elevator. "That was fun!" Bailey said with excitement in her eyes. "Yeah," Sierra mumbled. "What's wrong?" Bailey asked worryingly. Sierra walked over to Bailey, she put her hand up to her ear and whispered,"A murderer's following me".
