"Remember your principle loves you and I want you to be safe, all students are encouraged to return to their homes promptly from school grounds, avoid strangers, walk in twos and threes-", Principle Himbreys voice kept drowning over the intercom during break.

"What kind of questions did they ask you, Sid?", Tatum asked, the group all sitting in their usual spot in school which was on one of the fountains.

Billy was laying by the edge, Sidney sitting next to him as she spoke to Tatum who sat beside her. Next to Tatum was Stu and beside him was Marlene as the two robbed sweets from the pic n mix Matilda had brought in.

The girl in question was laying down across both Stu and Marlene, her head in Stu's lap as he played with her hair with one hand, the other robbing her sweets and her feet were on Marlene's lap.

At first Marlene had kept pushing Matilda's feet off her using the excuse of you could see up her dress, but after Matilda put her cardigan over her bottom half and offered Marlene some sweets her feet were no longer being pushed off and she now lay comfortably on the two.

To make their group even bigger was their other friend Randy Meeks who sat at the very end by Marlene.

Sidney had told Marlene once that she should get with Randy to complete their group of relationships.

A few colorful words later and Sidney never brought up that idea to the table again.

"They asked me if i knew Casey", Sidney replied to Tatum.

"Yeah, they asked me that too", Tatum nodded.

"Hey, did they ask if you like to hunt?", Stu asked looking down at Billy.

"Yeah, they did. Did they ask you?", Billy then asked Stu who gave him a thumbs up, not able to talk as he put another handful of candy in his mouth.

"Hunt? Why would they ask you if you like to hunt?", Tatum questioned the two boys.

"Cause their bodies were gutted", Randy said nonchalantly.

"Thank you, Randy", Billy sat up from where he was laying.

"They didn't ask me if I like to hunt", Tatum was still focused on the question police were asking.

"Me neither", Matilda sleepily drawled as she was on the verge of falling asleep.

"Cause there's no way a girl could've killed 'em", Stu said to all the girls there.

"I wanna hunt", Matilda continued on sleepily not even really understanding what they were talking about as she was half asleep.

"You'd be the best little hunter", Stu cooed down to the girl, running his fingers through her hair.

"That is so sexist", Tatum snapped Stu out of his little world that contained just him and Matilda.

"Yeah, the killer could easily be female. Basic Instinct", Marlene then continued on, agreeing with Tatum as she gave Stu a look.

"That was an ice pick. Not exactly the same thing", Randy decided to add in his two cents to the conversation.

"Yeah, and Casey and Steve were completely hollowed out", Stu informed the group. "And the fact is, it takes a man to do something like that."

"Or a man's mentality", Tatum spoke back, Marlene nodding along as she for once yet again was on Tatums side.

"How do you gut someone?", Sidney spoke up nervously to the discussion going on, the people that were fully coherent looking towards her not wanting to be the ones to speak up.
