Chapter 1: The Calm Before the Storm

Chapter 6: The Suspects
Rose and Aaron compiled a list of individuals with access to the library. They started their interviews with Emilia, the library assistant, who provided a solid alibi. Their next suspect, Jaden, the basketball star, was more evasive.
Chapter 7: Following Jaden
After school, Rose and Aaron tailed Jaden to a rundown warehouse. They discovered an illegal betting operation and overheard Jaden in a tense conversation about paying for silence, capturing incriminating evidence.
Chapter 8: The Bigger Picture
Rose insisted on taking the evidence to the authorities, but Aaron convinced her to dig deeper. His investigation into the school's database uncovered cryptic messages between Jaden and an unknown contact about "The Game."
Chapter 9: Confronting Jaden
Rose and Aaron cornered Jaden after basketball practice, confronting him with their findings. Jaden, terrified, revealed that he had warned Leana but insisted he wasn't the killer. He pointed to a more dangerous figure behind the scenes.
Chapter 10: The Dark Warehouse
Aaron traced the disposable phone to an abandoned warehouse. Equipped with torches, Rose and Aaron ventured inside, discovering an office space where Mr. Blackford and the hooded man discussed their plans.

Spotted by the hooded man, Rose and Aaron fled, using their skills to navigate the warehouse. They had already alerted the police, who were waiting outside. Officer Jacob led the arrest, taking Mr. Blackford and his accomplices into custody.
Chapter 12: Shattered Illusions
The next day, Principal Harris announced the shocking news of Mr. Blackford's involvement in the illegal gambling ring and Leana's murder. The school was in uproar, struggling to process the betrayal by a trusted teacher.
Chapter 13: Recovering Normalcy
Rose and Aaron reflected on their dangerous journey. They had achieved justice for Leana, but the experience had changed them. They received praise from their peers and the community for their bravery.
Chapter 14: The Aftermath
Life at Rosewood High began to settle back into routine, but the shadows of the recent events lingered. Rose and Aaron found themselves drawn closer, united by their shared experience and newfound friendship.
Chapter 15: Unanswered Questions
Despite the arrests, Rose and Aaron couldn't shake the feeling that there were still unanswered questions. They continued to investigate, uncovering more about the depths of the illegal activities that had permeated the school.
Chapter 16: A New Threat
Their digging brought them face-to-face with a new threat—an anonymous figure threatening to expose their involvement in the investigation. Rose and Aaron realized they were still targets in a larger, more dangerous game.
Chapter 17: The Hidden Network
