Young, beautiful and 6 feet under

Chapter 4

Laura's pov**

It's 8 and everyone's here in the woods. I look around and see all the faces through torch light all with Very different expressions. Phil was pacing, Nathan looked torn apart from the earlier news of Alice. Ella and Jim were there usual selves chatting seeming oblivious to the fact that Alice's dead. And Cathy seemed to be staring at Phil. That's when I realised Adam wasn't here.

Ella looked up and broke the silence

Ella: so what's so important that needs us all here?

Phil:well I'm sure your all aware of Alice's death

Nobody answered they just looked at the ground

Phil:il take that as a yes

Laura:but why do you want us here

Phil:well we have to cover up Alice's death don't we?

Ella:yea? So how we gonna do it?

Phil: well were gonna blame someone else. Ella your gonna go to the police station with jim and report Alice missing say the last time you saw her was with a fat postman.

Ella: what?

Phil:well frame the death on him. Well get a uniform get some DNA and boom he's doing time in prison for us. The rest of ye act sad and keep to the story line ok? Does everyone under stand

We nodded our heads stunned at his manic idea.

Jim: Phil I'm not doing that

Phil: excuse me?

Jim:I'm not blaming an innocent man

Phil: so you want us all to go to prison? Jim we all have to work together to sort this out. There can be no weaklings. Because if you don't help us, well kill you. Well take you up to the grill by the arms, by the legs. well throw you in, into the dark the cold. You land on Alice's dead corpse and you'll rot together. if you don't help us well kill you. are you going to help us?

Jim was terrified he stood there shaking. He just nodded his head and stared at the ground

Jim: yes

Phil: good. Let's get this plan in motion
