* Recap - Reece kissed Keeley, Keeley's going to the concert and Dakota's found something weird in the office... *

" What happened in here?!" I said, scanning the room.

" Looks like a bomb hit this place!" I heard Owen say next to me.

" That's what I thought it was, a bomb! I heard something explode in the office when i was walking down here and came to check it out!" Dakota said.

" And?" I Asked, hoping there was more.

" And Mrs Atterwood is dead!" She replied, shaking. I walked over to her and gave her a hug.

" Honey, don't worry. We'll get this all sorted out. We'll find the killer. He's got to be in the school right now. There's no exit he can get through - the doors are all locked!" I said.

" Wait! That means he's in the school..... with us..... right now...... he could be anyone of us?!" Owen said.

" Yes, Owen, he could well be. But I don't think he would be. None of us would put ourselves in danger. None of us are crazy!" I said, hoping that we weren't.

* Bleep..... Bleep..... Bleep*

" Keeley, I think that's your phone!" I heard Dakota say. I picked up my phone and checked it.

Hey, Keeley! I heard the bomb go off at your school so I'm coming in to see what it was.

How could he hear that explosion? Unless he was outside the school at the time he couldn't hear the bomb... I'm inside the school and I couldn't hear it!

" Keeley! Keeley!" I heard him shout my name until he found me.

" Reece, hi! What are you doing here?" I asked. I already knew why he was here I just wanted him to say it... Just to make sure I was right. Silence filled the air around us as we all waited for him to answer.

" I... err.... I heard the bomb go off and wanted to make sure you were ok!" He replied, smiling. He was wearing black skinny jeans with a dark blue, paramore t-shirt.

" I'm fine! Dakota's not..... The bomb scared her a bit. She was on her way down here when she heard the bomb go off. She ran down here to find Mrs Atterwood dead." I said and Dakota hugged me tighter.

" Is Dakota ok?" He asked, rushing over to check if anything had hurt her.

" I'm fine, really!" Dakota said, shaking.

" You're in shock Dakota! You can't stay here.... Unless you want to answer some questions for the police?" He asked her.

" I'll answer some questions, but I should be fine for the rest of the day!" Dakota replied.

" No, Dakota! You will answer those questions and then go home. You don't look well. You're as pale as a sheet!" I heard Owen chime in.

" Yeah, Owen's right Dakota! You need to go home after those questions!" I said, sticking up with the boys' side of the argument.

" Ok! I'll answer a few questions and then I'll go home. Keeley, can you come with me?" She asked me.

" If I'm allowed..... I don't think I'll be allowed but I'll ask anyway!" I reassured her.

" Thanks!" She replied. I walked over to my tutor.

" Mr Highland? Dakota was wondering if I could go home with her after she's spoken to the police 'cause she wants a bit of company?" I asked.
