Chapter 7

"Where are we going?" Caspian whines for the 5th time during the ride.

"Don't know maybe we'll start by robbing a bank," Johanna says sarcastically.

"Haha but seriously," Caspian replies.

All ignore him as they continue driving.

"Please tell me you're kidding," Caspian says as no one responds.

"Depends on wether I kill you first," Johanna hisses. "Then what we do illegal after that doesn't manner does it?"

Caspian shuts his mouth as Phil tries to keep his giggles silent.

"It's 11:56 and she falls asleep at 10:59," Johanna mumbles to herself quickly. "We would have to be silent..."

Caspian can't decipher the rest. She's speaking so quick and so quiet he can't make out what she's saying.

"What is she doing?" He whispers to Phil.

"She's deducing," he whispers back. "Good thing you have the natural felling to be quiet. She's slapped me for talking once."

Suddenly a hand comes across and slaps Phil across the face. Not enough to really hurt but enough to sting. Phil glares at her as she continues driving.

"Shut up," she says before continuing to murmur to herself .

"Why does she do it?" Caspian continues.

"She's figuring out how we don't get caught," he says smirking.

They pull up along the sidewalk in a fancy dark neighborhood.

"Where are we going?" Caspian hisses.

"We're gonna go kill some psychopaths," Johanna says sarcastically.

"Aren't you a psychopath?" Izsac replies.

Johanna turns around and looks him straight in the eye.

"I'm a high functioning sociopath thank you very much," she responds winking.

"Why Casey though she's so nice!" Caspian exclaims as they walk down the sidewalk.

"Shut up you idgit, we're not getting caught because of your big mouth," Johanna hisses under her breath as they get closer.

"But she's nice!" He replies quietly. "And idgit?"

"It's a supernatural reference," she says rolling her eyes. "I can't believe you don't watch it, as big of a geek as you are."

Caspian makes a mental note to watch the show later.

"What about security?" Izsac asks as they get closer.

"No problem already dealt with it," Johanna says easily. "We can just walk through the door."

They approach the door and as Johanna said they just walk right through. Caspian catches an alarm system on the wall but doesn't question it. This is all just too weird.

"She's upstairs on the left," Johanna says making to move up the stairs.

"How do you know?" Caspian questions.

Johanna sighs and gives him an 'are you kidding me?' look and sighs.

"As we were walking in I noticed the curtain on the side through the window. The color was and ugly pink which I see her wearing at school a lot. Now it could be a little sisters but she would pick her up after school right? Whenever she drives away, she never takes the route that leads to both the elementary and middle school. The only people that get into her car is her and her friends."

With that she turns around and slowly approaches the staircase.

Izsac and Caspian exchange a look before the follow her.

They creep down the hallway, trying not to make a sound.

Caspian can't believe he's doing this. He snuck out of his house with a girl he barely knows now, snuck into someone else's house to do who knows what. He feels slight panic in his chest about getting caught, his parents would kill him if they found out. What scares him the most though, is how excited he is and how he can feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins.

Johanna takes in her surroundings deducting a few things like, her family is extremely rich, she has an older brother who should've moved out years ago, and her father isn't really her father.

She approaches a door on the left like she had said earlier. She turns the doorknob slowly and walks into the huge room.

Everyone disperses among the room doing the things they had planned carefully. Nothing is funnier then watching someone's pride get crushed. (A/N: don't do this kids that's a dick move)

She creeps over to the bed where Casey is sleeping soundly.

Johanna immediately feels something off.

She walks over and slowly turns her onto her back. Her skin is cold, too cold. Casey flops onto her back.

Her eyes are open and unblinking.

And she isn't breathing.

Trying to remain calm, Johanna takes off the covers and tries to deduct the death. She can only come up with base facts like the police can. But just like Mr. Alabaster she's coming up empty.

Which makes her freak out more.

On the dead girl is a carefully folded up note. It looked like whoever folded it had been in no rush, folding and pressing, folding and pressing.

She picks it up and unfolds it quickly.

Oh Johanna, don't you ever learn?

"Guys we gotta get out of here," she says gesturing for everyone to follow her.

"Keep it down," Phil hisses at her and turns back around.

"Phil the parents can't hear us they're on the floor below on the right side," she says just as loudly. "And Casey is dead."

Everyone falls quiet and stares at the girl, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Sh-she's seriously-" Caspian mutters.

"Let's go Cas," she says walking briskly over and grabbing his wrist starting to drag him out of the room.

"No!" He exclaims wrenching his hand out of her grasp. "We have to tell someone! Get help! The police or something!"

"Listen Cas," she says trying to even out her breathing. "If we don't get out of here we might die. Did anyone leave any trace?"

Everyone shakes their heads.

"Good," she says grabbing Cas's hand. "Let's go."

They all go as quickly as possible trying to stay quiet. They rush out the front door back to the impala. The doors are opened and slammed closed and the ignition is started while Johanna speeds out of the posh neighborhood.

"Johanna," Izsac says after driving in silence for a few moments. "Back there, you said if we stayed there we would've died. What did you mean?"

Johanna sighs and glances at Phil. Eventually Izsac and Cas will have to find out. But not now. The killer that's after Johanna isn't something average people need to know about.

"As long as we didn't make any trance, we're good," she says instead of answering.

"And if we did?" Caspian says, his voice wavering at the end.

"Then we're already dead."
