Lockwood and Co- The Final Case

Part 4

When we did stop, all we could do was blush and stand in awkward silence.

Nice going Lucy. Next stop: death by love.

It was skull. I sighed and told him to shut up. Then Lockwood took my hand and smiled his usual grin. 

'What do you say we go find Holly and George?' Lockwood asked.

'I think that that is a very good idea.'

And we set off.

***

We had been walking for a while. My legs began to ache. My hand was sore from how long Lockwood had been holding it. We had found nothing.

And then I heard it. The faintest tremor in the wind.  

Lucy

I whipped my head round. No-one was there. I frowned.

Lucy

There it was again! By now I was getting confused. I swear I caught Lockwood raising an eyebrow.

'Something wrong Luce?' he asked.

'Someone said my name. Twice.'

'Hm'

He a look on his face that meant he was picking something up. 

'Got something?' I asked

'Death glow. A huge one.'

'Miss Winters sister-in-law?'

'Could be.'

Lucy

'What?' I screamed.

Come here.

'Lucy whats goin-' Lockwood began. I held up a hand to silence him.

I need to show you.

'Show me what?'

Something.

'What is that something?'

Look behind you.

I screamed as I saw Miss Winters, knife to George's throat.
