What Lies Beneath The Clearing

2.1

Fifteen minutes later Lennox's father came back through the double doors. Caleb was stood against the wall, and Skye was sat opposite Lennox, who was sat in the seat Caleb started off in. But they all turned their heads in unison towards Doctor Rosewood as he stood in front of them. He looked at Caleb.

"She didn't make it. I'm so sorry Caleb."

Skye gasped quietly, hiding her sob with her hands purely so that Caleb could have that moment to himself. Lennox dropped her head into her hands, closing her eyes as he dropped to the floor on his knees. Usually Skye wasn't so calm, but she kept her composure as she went to Caleb's side and pulled him into her for comfort - a gesture clearly appreciated by the way he grasped onto her arm as it crossed over his chest. Lennox watched them from her seat, but she didn't interfere. Sasha dying was, after all, her fault in the first place. After ten seconds or so her dad tapped her shoulder.

"Come on." He nodded down the hall.

She followed him into the clearing where they could still see Caleb and Sasha, but they were out of ear shot.

"I don't know what the hell happened to her, but I thought you should be aware, that Dr Jason has called the police." He said quietly.

She looked back at him in surprise. "Why?"

"Because he's ruling Sasha's death unnatural causes."

At that she tensed and looked at Caleb and Skye as he watched her.

"Which you don't seem too shocked at. You know you're very calm for just having lost a dear friend."

"Don't." She said quickly, looking back at him as her eyes welled. "Please don't throw that at me."

The hurt look on her face made him stand up straight. "Fine. I'm sorry. But whatever happened to Sasha,"

"We don't know what happened."

"Lennox if you don't tell them the truth-"
