Partners In Crime

Chapter 5:Murder Revealed

                                                                    Alexandria's POV:
Maybe I should have followed him, I don't know. It's only been about 3 minutes since Todd left, but I'm already bored. I check the time 2:57 pm. I fiddle with my pepper spray. Suddenly, the door flyes open. I dont look up. " Hey, did the murder ditch you or something? " I hear a creepy chuckle. My blood turns cold and I slowly look up. There is a large, beefy man in the doorway.  He is dressed in black. He shuts the door. "C-can I..help you s-sir?" I asked nervously. " Well well well, I must say, you and you partner did a pretty good job trying to find who killed Joe. " I tilt my head to the side. " Joe? Who's...Joe.. ". My eyes widen and I start to sweat. I can only think of  3 words right now. " Oh. My. God. "
                                                                    Todd's POV:
I stare at the clock. It's been 20 minutes. " This is a scam! " I think angrily to myself. Just trying to tease me! Poor Alex will be disappointed when she finds out. I gasp, FRIGG ALEX! I am surprised I didn't  get pulled over because now fast i was going. I ran into my office. The lights were off and I couldn't see anything. Suddenly the door shut behind me and i heard it lock. The lights turned on. There was a muscular man sitting in my desk chair, staring at me creepily." What did you do to Alex! " He got up and moved towards me. He was about an inch taller than me, and he looked around 24. I took out my gun and pointed it at him. But instead, he walked to a corner of a room and nudged something with his foot. I gasped "Alex!" I ran to her. She was laying on the floor out cold. I saw a large bleeding gash on her arm and there were bruises on her head. She had a pained expression on her face. Her once tanned skin was now pale. I turned around, I don't think I've ever been so angry. " Why!? Why her!? She's just a kid!?!!!! "He pulled out a large knife, already stained with blood. I pointed my gun, frowning. "Why did you kill him?" I asked. The man stood silently for a moment. " Because. Because my brother had everything. "
