Scary Times @ Crenshaw High

HELP US!!!!

So three weeks had went by and Shania hadn't really made any progress. She was getting frustrated but it just mean't she would have to dig a little deeper. Class was in session one morning on a Friday. Everybody had showed up per usual but when he walked in Deontae looked upset. He looked like he hadn't slept in days. Andreas showed up but he was late to class with no hall pass. Something was up and Shania was gonna get to the bottom of it. It was lunchtime when Shania was just sneaking around the halls. While walking pass the music room Shania heard singing. The persons voice was so melodic and beautiful. Shania quietly walked up to the room door and saw Berlin the music teacher singing. 🎵 Baby I want a chance to get you closer next to me. Said girl I'll be patient and slow 🎵. He stroked his guitar so gently and slow. He was in the moment and he seemed to be somewhere else. No something in the music had taken him away. Shania tried to get closer but ended up knocking over a stack of papers on the piano. Berlin looked up in surprise that anybody had heard him.

Shania: I'm...I'm sorry you looked so peaceful and I just ruin the moment

Berlin: Its fine

Shania: You sound so good Mr. McKade. You should've been a professional musician

Berlin: Just call me Berlin. I do open mic nights here and there

Shania: Did you write that song yourself?

Berlin: Yeah I did. It's called "Give You The World". I was just practicing

Shania: You don't sound like you need much practice to me

Berlin: Thank you

Shania: You're welcome. I'm gonna get back to the classroom. I didn't mean to disturb you

Berlin: You didn't disturb me at all. As a matter of fact why don't you come sit next to me and I'll play you something else I wrote

Shania: I would love to but I gotta get back. You know lunch is only so long and I have some papers to grade

Berlin: Oh my bad. Maybe some other time

Shania: Actually I do wanna ask you something though. With all that's been going on have you seen anything suspicious?

Berlin: You mean with the murders. There's something nobody knows about. I was here late one evening and I heard some weird noises coming from the gymnasium. I went to investigate and I didn't see a face but I caught someone running out the emergency exit door. The alarms around here don't work so the authorities weren't alerted. If we could just keep that between us though. Like I said nobody knows about it

Shania: No problem well I'm gotta get back to class

Berlin: Okay see you around I guess

Shania: Yeah definitely

Shania kept the conversation with Berlin in the back of her head. "What kind of school has alarms that don't work? I gotta look into that and I forgot I need to get the surveillance camera footage". When Shania finally arrived back to the classroom she saw Deontae sitting at one of the desk.

Shania: Deontae what's going on?

Deontae: We need to talk

Shania: Okay so what's up? I noticed you looked a little angry earlier

Deontae: The crew and I have a problem and we need your help

Shania: What kind of problem?

Deontae: We can't talk here. Somebody might be listening. We're all meeting tonight at Jamisha house. Can you meet us there please?

Shania: This is crossing professional lines

Deontae: Please Ms. Una. You know people and we need you

Shania: Okay I'll be there. Just pass along the address
