TerryI know the secret. Steadying my breathing, I glanced up at my teacher who had been calling me.
"Yes Mr Hudson"
"To the board now, come show me how to solve this"
Of course, It just had to be me.
I looked around to find the entire class staring at me. Gulping, I rose to my feet and made my way to the board, taking the chalk from Mr Hudson careful not to touch him. I had to make sure he didn't notice my trembling.
And of course you're wondering why? So I'll tell you. For the past two years there has been a murderer on the loose, the psycho kills without care or reason, there is no connection between his murders. Every security agency is onto him, and yesterday my stupid ass walked in on him killing someone in a freaking alley.
My first thought was 'why me?'
"Miss ford, what on earth are you writing?"
I looked at the board and I swear my jaw high fives the floor. On the board was clearly written 'AXER'.
Not very original I know. Blame the reporter who follows his stories.
But you guessed right AXER loved to crack open people's skulls with an axe. All his victims had been found with their heads split in two, that was his signature. And the worst if it all was that I just took a chalk from the bastard.
My whole body shook as I slowly turned to face my teacher, his face was hard and his look was like he was gazing into my soul. I knew right then that I was a goner. But I had finally found the connection between all the murders, they had all met Mr Hudson even though very briefly and they all annoyed him.
"Back to your seat terry" Mr Hudson said as he snatched the chalk from Me.
Well fuck, shit and damn, ladies and gents I guess my Head's next. Just let it be fucking painless.
