Chapter 7

Okay so I got a computer so I don't have to use my iPad! I will be able to write a lot more. I CAN indeed see how many views I have... Also YAY I have two followers!

Lloyd couldn't sleep a wink that night. Maybe it was the alcohol rolling around in his head. Maybe it was his self-consciousness wondering that Harumi might remember what happened. Maybe it was the unknown voice still screaming at him. All of them put aside, something wasn't right. Lloyd rolled over. 

"Forget it already,"

Lloyd told himself.

"Just go to sleep and forget the whole darn thing. It'll be like a dream. "

But he couldn't. It wasn't THAT easy just to fall asleep like the people in the cartoons did. He had no motivation to sleep because there was no school the next day. It was only 1 a.m anyway. After battling his thoughts for a long time, Lloyd finally fell into a light slumber. When he woke up, he heard whispers. Lloyd shot out of bed and followed the sound into the kitchen, which was connected to the living room. Jay and Cole were talking worriedly. 

"What's new?"

Lloyd asked. Jay looked at Cole, then Lloyd.

"Something happened last night. Something big."

Cole sighed.

"Don't make it seem like more that it is, Jay."

Jays phone buzzed and he got up.

"Follow me."

The three of them walked hastily to wherever Jay was taking them. They went swiftly up the stairs before entering the room where the party was last night. The scene looked exactly the same, minus the crowd, and the addition of CAUTION tape was in extreme amounts. Lloyd took in the room.

"Are you sure we should be..."

"It's fine."

Cole cut him off. Jay maneuvered around the tape, as did Lloyd and Cole. Jay stopped. Lloyd peeked ahead.

"What was that-"

He stopped in his tracks. 7 paces ahead lay an unconscious middle-aged teen sprawled on the floor, seeming to have no medical condition. Lloyd noticed from afar he wasn't giving a pulse.

"Is he..."

Cole and Jay nodded solemnly. 

"The authorities say that he left no trace at all. I'm thinking they might check his blood to see if he had an overdose."

Cole stated. Lloyd didn't respond. 

"When did they notice this?"

He asked. 

"No idea. Party got shut down is all we know. If people were lucky enough to leave early, they won't get in trouble on Monday."

"Like me."

Lloyd thought, mentally thanking whoever yelled at him the night before. A loud repeated noise startled them all. Footsteps.

"Who's that?"

Jay whispered. 

"I'm not sticking around to find out."

Lloyd quickly scampered out of the room, the other two quick behind him. They just avoided two men in crisp blue jackets. There was an older man, and a lesser 20-year old. The old guys name tag read: Police Commissioner Gordon.

"Let's let them sort the rest out."

Cole stated.

"Well, now you know."
