Secrets and Lies [COMPLETE]

Chapter 37

37

The peaceful town of Brookdale had turned into a nightmare. Murder and fear engulfed the town.

Detective Bones was running in circles. She had a secret as well. But her secret had been for the better. Or so she believed.

James Black struggled to find himself in the midst of heartache and confusion. He harboured the same secret as his mentor.

Claire's funeral processions weren't ready as of now. The town would have to wait till the post mortem report came through.

Meanwhile, the other three girls quietly awaited their fate.

'This was never supposed to happen,' Rosetta said, sitting on the side.

'Of course it wasn't! Every time I think it's going to be alright, something goes wrong. And it's bloody confusing!'

'Don't lose your cool, Gwen.' Adrianna said. 'We're all stressed out. You're not the only one who thinks she's next.'

'That's just it! I don't think I am. I don't think anybody in this room is,' Gwen said with gritted teeth.

'It's all fun and games till somebody loses their mind,' said Rosetta, crossing her legs.

'But who?' Gwen asked aggressively. 'Who? One of us?'

'Even if it was one of us, you wouldn't know, would you?' Adrianna looked at Gwen with her dark, black eyes.

In that moment, the only thing Gwen could think of was one word. Evil.
