Drowse - First Season - Finished

Chapter 16 - In Search of Evidence / December 1972

POV Alicia

While everyone was searching for Helena's paintings, I smiled internally. I had paid cash for two college cleaning staff to enter the room where the pictures were, unseen, and pick up Helena's paintings. They knew what Helena's pictures were, because on each screen at the bottom of the picture was the student's name. They had to get the pictures and throw them in the trash without anyone noticing. I told them they would have to do this, just before the big picture painting fair. I could have asked them to do it yesterday, but sometimes a teacher might miss Helena's paintings before. So it was better for them to do the dirty service, just before the big picture show, so Helena's humiliation would be greater. That way I'll be able to sell my paintings, quietly, without the threat of Helena. While the teachers went to meet Helena, Bri warned everyone that the pictures of her had disappeared, I pretended indignation and concern, of course, so that no one would suspect me.

Something needs to be done. Helena's paintings must be found, "I told the teachers and Bri himself.

"We'll make the arrangements," one of the teachers said.

All the teachers and Bri went to meet Helena and Roger. Louis approached me.

"Unfortunately this has come to pass now," Louis said sadly. "Helen did not deserve this.

"I'm worried about my friend," said Clare, Roger's sister next to us.

Helena's friends were close to us and they were talking worriedly.

"I believe that if the pictures of Helena are not found, the teachers will cancel the painting fair," said Louis. "And if that happens, it will be fair, because while our friend, our classmate is suffering with her paintings, we We have no rights to sell ours and to profit.

I kept thinking: all that's left is for teachers to cancel the fair right now.

Shortly afterwards, the teachers returned and said that the security guards are searching for Helena's missing paintings and that if her paintings are not found, the fair will be canceled. Some students protested, others agreed. I had to pretend to agree, but in my heart I was hatred. Shit. I did not think of them being able to cancel the show. I do not want to get out of it. I have to sell my paintings. I pretended to worry again.

"I'm going after Helena, she needs support," he said, running without giving anyone time to follow.

I heard Louis call me away, saying that he would go with me, but I did not care. In fact I would not go after Helena. He would go after the two cleaning staff who at this time were with the paintings, so they would not throw Helena's paintings in the trash. Unfortunately they would not play the tables. I did not want to lose. I thought the teachers would not cancel the picture fair. Curse. I ran through the corridors, looking for employees.

POV Helena

I was in the drawing room. Rog and Bri hugged me the whole time. They've been great friends right now.

"Helena, let's go meet our friends. They want to see you. College bouncers are looking for their pictures. They will soon be found, "said Bri.

"Bri's right, Lena," Roger said, stroking my face. "Let's go meet our friends, okay?"

"You're right," I said sadly to them.

By the time we were leaving the room, we saw two cleaning staff with large garbage baskets. When the officials saw us, they looked at us in alarm. In the big garbage bag there were some things that were covered in large sacks. Bri and Roger looked at the officials. I realized that my presence caused them great despair. I looked at the bags and realized that there was a point that was stuck and that was showing something like it was a painting canvas? Bri and Rog also realized this and Bri spoke authoritatively:
