THIRTY FIVE

While walking away from Edwin so he can focus on Shelby, Brad and Hunter pop up behind Charles "Hey, Charlie boy!" Frances and Crystal turned around to look at Charles, where the voice came from.

"Oh, you alright lads?"Charles questioned with a small chuckle "why are you guys here?" Frances asked the two teenage boys, they weren't supposed to follow the detectives but clearly they didn't listen. "We're frustrated. We want to know what's going on." Brad answered the girl's question, his hands in his jacket with a confused expression "Yeah, we paid you. Aren't you any closer to finding who killed us?" Hunters eyes were on Frances, she blew out air before responding "It takes time to figure out a murder case. We're working on it." She responded to the jocks.

The two jocks rolled their eyes, angered by the girl. Before they could say something, Charles stepped in "I think we're close to solving it though." Brad and Hunters eyes lit up from Charles words, excited that their murder case was almost solved "you found our killer?" Hunter asked, his eyes wide in shock "we don't know for sure." Crystal answered.

Brad looked behind the three detectives, noticing something "Is that Shelby? No, is she the one that killed us?" Brad walked away, Hunter following shortly after "shit" Frances ran to the two teens, trying to stop them "Stop!"  she yelled at them, but they kept walking.

"Shelby, why would you do this?" Shelby saw her ex boyfriend and got mad, she flew up from the ground with her mouth opened wide, a big rush of wind coming out which caused everyone to fall on the ground. "What the hell!?" Frances shouted loudly in fear, she never seen something like that before.

After Brad and Hunter left, Shelby stopped flying and dropped down to her feet "I didn't mean to get like that" She apologized. Charles held his hand out in front of Frances, who was on the ground "Come on" he smiled at her, Frances hesitated before putting her soft hands on his firm ones "Thanks" She sat as she patted her coat, taking off the dry leaves that stuck on the fabric "No problem mate"

"Can you tell us what happened?" Edwin asked the dead girl, she gulped loudly before she began to talk about how she died and why "I used to run track... and I was good. Training for the Olympics. And I was dating Brad, but then Brad and Hunter decided to start teasing me about my strict schedule. Said I needed to loosen up so they dosed me with GHB" Edwin wrote down in his notebook everything that Shelby was saying "What's GHB?" Frances asked, she never heard of it before "It's a drug. An Illegal one" Charles answered her before Shelby spoke up again.

"I failed my drug test. Didn't qualify. Lost my sponsorship, my scholarship and then Brad dumped me. Said I was no fun anymore! I didn't kill them but I was glad when they died. Write that down! I'm glad!"  Edwin looked at Shelby before he wrote what she told him to write down on his notepad, his expression serious. 

"The only life I took was my own, which, now that it's done with, I don't recommend." Shelby spoke with sadness, it made Frances heart drop. No one should go through what Shelby did, it sounded horrible. Frances couldn't imagine failing something that you really wanted to go to, like the Olympics.

"Are we done? I need to walk" With that being said, Shelby started to walk the different direction, finally getting away from the detectives. "I told you they weren't good guys." Frances looked up at Charles, she bit the inside of her cheek with her arms crossed "I think shes lying. Its just- 50 people said they were amazing and one said they were asses." Frances let out a scoff with a shake coming from her head "Can't believe you're defending them. I thought you hated bullies?" 

Edwin watched in fear when they broke out in an argument, clearly not enjoying the situation. "They aren't bullies, shes just made that Brad dumped her" Charles defended them once again, that caused Crystal to talk Frances side "So you really think Shelby killed someone because her ex douche boyfriend broke up with her?"  Charles sighed loudly "Brad and Hunter seem like good people. That's all I'm saying."

Crystals phone ranged loudly, she got it out from her purple coat and put it on speaker "It's Maren, Brad's girlfriend.  I just... I wanted to tell you that I lied. I did see something weird at the party.I think I know who killed Brad and Hunter. Can you meet me?"
