Just like lightning had strike everyone was rushing towards where Coach Bose was at a few seconds ago. People were trying their hardest to reach the place to see which spot they had come through too.

A few people got out by with their hair ruffled and their faces paler. Some looked upset and others looked pleased at their position or whether they had gotten on to the team.

Evangeline was staring at Grace who closed her locker door shut, slowly. Grace wasn't very surprised by this sudden wave of people tying to reach the announcement board.

This school was very popular for their sports, as to why they had a lot of people trying-out for sports clubs and teams every year, early every semester to see whether they could get into the teams.

As soon as the crowd had cleared, people glanced at Grace with sad eyes or happy eyes, but they passed by her, as Grace passed by the announcement board; she could see at least a hundred and fifty names up on that piece of paper.

Cautiously, Grace stepped to the centre spot whereas everyone had already left or awaiting. Slowly, Grace reached the names as her eyes scrolled down slowly.

17. Andrea Michaels - Goal keeper
16. Michaela Walker - Right midfielder
15. Maya Winters - Defensive midfielder
12. Vanessa Carlson - Right back
3. Ashley Jones - Forward
1. Grace Science - Striker/Forward

Grace stared at her name, her eyes lingering upon the position. Forward. She smiled to herself, in regard of this position. Grace had always been playing as forward for most of her life. Despite the times she had played goal keeper, she enjoyed her time as forward.

Turning around, Grace started walking as other girls were making their way towards the  announcement board, Grace headed into homeroom as she took her usual seat.

After role call, Grace made her way towards her lesson. Today she had double Science. Grace wasn't particularly upset or frustrated because she was quite good in Science.

Taking her usual seat, Grace placed herself on the chair as Mrs Rollins had just entered, Griffin following a few seconds after.

The rest of the class took their respected seats as everyone focussed as they started writing notes, answering questions here and there Griffin and Grace were both continuing their roles as the 'Science Geniuses'.

Class was dismissed as everyone parted ways to their next lesson, Grace had math and then she had gym, which wasn't a problem for her.

Heading inside her maths class and not knowing that she had a pop quiz, she filled out her paper. Those extra nights spent revising surely paid off as Grace had a better understanding of these questions.

Finishing her exam, Grace stared at her wrist watch and contemplated what to do, with the case that she had to focus on. Thinking of a few possibly leads, which always ended with,

What lead?

Grace had no lead, she hadn't put any focus onto the extra activity she had done. Police work. Breathing out after hearing the bell, Grace picked up her test paper and handed it to Mrs Scott.

Moving outside of the classroom, Grace started walking as she was trying to focus on the work prescribed to her, by SO Blake. This is what she knew:

•There was an attacker
•Always striking at night
•Known as a 'vulture'
•Always hiding in the dark

That could've been anyone, but Bob described it in a riddle, but what did that riddle mean?

"Hey Grace, wait up." Grace heard a voice recognised as Jack.

He caught up to her as they both were walking together along the halls of the school.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Just thinking." Grace answered simply.

"About?" Jack asked confused.

"The attacker." Jack looked curious.

"Oh, I figured out the letter." Jack spoke as the two of them were walking together.

"What did it say?" Grace asked as she stopped walking and headed to sit down on top of the radiator where there was no sight of students.

Jack looked around cautiously before taking a pice of paper out from his pocket and handed it to Grace, she opened it up and analysed the words there.

Grace and Jack were both stopped at the sound of a voice.

"You've got to be kidding me."
