Murder on the Court

Chapter 12

By now, all of the cars had pulled over. Everyone watched as 2 police cars and an ambulance whizzed by. Sierra's dad began driving as soon as they were out of sight. "Does this place have chicken?" Alex asked. "Probably," His mom replied. She was obviously distracted. "What are you looking at?" Sierra asked, she too had noticed her mom was distracted. "Look," She said pointing at the ambulance ahead of them. The ambulance had pulled up in front of a YMCA. "I wonder what happened?" Alex asked sitting up straight to get a better look. Sierra gasped,"Look," she pointed as a stretcher came out of the building with a body on it. The body wasn't moving. By now, the car had drove past the building and was headed towards the restaurant. Sierra's dad pulled the car into the parking lot and drove around to find a parking space. He found one in the back of the building and parked. "Why did you park all the way back here?" Alex whined. "Stop it," His dad said with a glare. The family walked to the front of the building and went inside. Sierra sniffed in the smell of seafood, "It smells really good in here,". The family was seated and a waiter came to take their orders. "Hi my name is John and I'll be taking care of you today. Can I get you something to drink?" John asked the family. "I'll take a diet coke," Alex said. "I'll take a sprite," Bailey said. All John did was nod. "I'll take a lemonade," Sierra said. "A diet coke and ice tea for us," Sierra's mom said gesturing to her husband. "Alright, I'll get those," John said walking away. Sierra looked around the restaurant. The walls were lined with fish, pictures of fish, and even more fish. She then noticed a TV hanging from the wall. The TV was playing the news, and the top story was of another murder from the Red Hand. Sierra turned to Bailey, who was beside her. "Look," she whispered pointing to the TV. Bailey looked up from her phone and watched the news story. "You need to tell your parents," Bailey whispered. Sierra just shook her head. She turned around to watch the rest of the news story but they had already moved onto another story. Sierra was worried, she wanted to tell her parents but what would she say. She didn't really she his face, she just saw him murder someone. She was also worried about him coming for her. She already knew that he was following her but how would she tell her parents that. Her thoughts were interrupted by the waiter. He passed out their drinks and told their order. He left but forgot to give the family straws. "Sierra, go get some straws of that table please," Her mom said pointing to a table with napkins and straws. Sierra got up to get the straws. She passed by many tables but not used one person kept staring at her. She hurriedly get the straws and sad back down. The family's food came soon after and they dug in. Sierra kept peering over her dad's shoulder to look at that man. Every time she looked se noticed him staring at her. When they would make eye contact he would look down at his food. "What's his problem? Sierra wondered.
