Murder and Betrayal

Chapter 3

Emily brushed her fingers through her hair these pictures do not make any sense "small safe west" what could this possibly mean it's so damn frustrating argh! and the numbers what could it be some sort of code the CIA or MI5 use? Chuckling as Emily began to cry stuttering why would why would someone do this to you Scott you didn't have any enemies nor did anyone hate you, you were the most kind kindled person I ever met you made people laugh and made them smile you walked into a room of sad and turned it into a room of laughter this was unfair and cruel on you I promise I will make them pay Scottie I promise you have my word as Emily got up the petite brunette was tempted to open the cold locker she just wanted to see him again one last time but she was so, so scared she had shivers and cold chills her hands trembled shaking as she hesitated to open the lock she finally gathered her strength and courage opened it to see this body bag and cold smoke coming out of the locker as her fingers touched the zipper to unzip the bag every urge in her body was telling her to pull back and every muscle resisting but still she unzipped to see his lifeless. Pale body no color in his skin almost as though he was a ghost her eyes began to tear up again as one escaped and hit his chest she wiped her eyes with her sleeve and began zipping "Rest in peace my love" as she closed the locker. Startled from the door opening the blonde boy spoke did you figure out what it means then Em? JESUS Elliot! spoke the frightened brunette, could you be any less discrete! You half scared me to death and your face already half kills me. But no, I tried it's complicated I can't get my mind around it.

ha ha grinned Elliot you're very funny! I brought burgers for us guess this "half kill face" won't be giving you any as the blonde boy sat to eat the brunette looked towards him who was stuffing his face with fries whilst holding a burger in his hand hey Ell you remember that time you was 11 and you had woken up from spiders crawling all over you? Don't make me do that again she smiled walking towards the scared boy snatching the burger out of his hand. The boy who was left looking shocked took a gulp. Waaaittt wait, that that was you! Yes, me and Scott mostly my idea though replied the brunette savoring the burger. Wow you're truly evil and not to be messed with either spoke the brunette interrupting a still confused looking Elliot who carried on eating his fries trying to fathom in his head what he had just found out but continued the rest of his meal in silence. You know it's funny chuckled Elliot what is your face? Smirked Emily interrupting the blonde boy again no. four days ago I was telling my best friend to stay strong and now I can't even get myself together everywhere I look I see him it's like I'm being haunted in a good way he's probably looking down on us right now saying what a sob story we are. You know every night since I go sleep and I'm tired my mind feels restless and I try to sleep but every time I close my eyes all I see is him. As the devastated boy continued speaking. Every time! not a day has gone by since he has passed where I've had a good night's sleep the pain he must have felt the cruelty the agony he must have gone through all I can see is him and blood I'm standing watching him be killed suffocating and there's nothing I can do I try to run to help him but the more I run the farer he gets it's painful seeing him like that knowing I can't help and yes I know it's a dream but still the pain is there it still hurts as the boy puts his head down and his hands cover his eyes Emily watches him she seems lost for words wow I didn't know I'm sorry EL I'm here for you we can both cry together but where ever he is I'm sure he's in a better place now and he's safe. OMG ELLIOT SAFE I think I just figured out a piece to the riddle the brunette shrieked with a revelation WHAT, screamed Elliot! tell me?? Okay what's the definition of safe? Something protected right something not likely to be lost and small meaning its somewhere safe and small and west what if that means it's in the west or it could be a street name chuckled Emily loudly okay, okay, dial down the evil laugh Cruella spoke Elliot well um there is a street called West Jean Road but that's just full of banks, storage lockers and a train station.

OMG EMILY YOU GENIUS also shrieked the boy who's face seemed to have lit up. If it's there that must mean it's in a small safe storage locker and the numbers must be a locker combination? Questioning themselves did we just figure this riddle out? Okay spoke Elliot but there's only one problem... there are over a thousand lockers there at least with all the banks,  yes idiot replied Emily  even I figured that out but then it got me thinking most banks require a key they don't require a numeral combination so that's banks ruled out, also storage lockers requires keys too which leaves us with the train station they have storage lockers there some require keys if they are to hold bags whereas the smaller ones only require a combination you're right! but still there are at least 100 lockers in the train station we would be looking for hours replied Elliot. but we must check it out the train station is always open and its quite late in the night which means we can look easily said the petite brunet without people noticing us or, so I hope no one does. Okay, okay we'll go but I'm bringing protection just in case the killer could be there watching us waiting to kill us too! erm what protection? Stuttered Emily just a baseball bat as Emily looked at Elliot with a weird face. What? Spoke the blonde boy why are you looking at me like that. where exactly did you get a baseball bat from asked Emily confusingly. Well replied Elliot there's a guy I know who knows another guy who knew this other guy who conveniently sold baseball bats so hey ho whatcha know I bought one, what do you know it could come in handy! Emily rolled her eyes back come on let's get a move on chicken legs. As the petite brunette and blond boy both sat in the car Emily these mixed feelings was she finally going to avenge Scotts, her best friend's death was she finally going to make this sick twisted son of a bitch pay she was ready, oh she was more than ready to make him pay but then there's this side of her which keeps on telling her they're not going to find him it keeps giving her this instinct that this is a just another game and that whatever they're going to find is going to be another sick joke was she ready to move on or will she be fighting another day? Hey Emily, spoke the blonde teen who had noticed the blank space Emily was portraying what's up? you seem lost we're nearly there, sorry rubbing her eyes spoke Emily I was just erm I was just thinking about some stuff.  penny for your thoughts? No, it's nothing seriously look if you're not ready for this we can always come back tomorrow, or you could stay in the car and I' can go in alone no replied Emily who clearly didn't seem to be ready I said I'm fine. Okay we're here as Elliot parked the car and got out to the trunk of his car trying to reach his baseball bat which seemed to be stuck between medical equipment, hey Elliot shouted Em in a low tone yes, I'm coming wait a second replied Elliot erm Elliot shouted Emily again I said I'm coming.  ELLIOT! Screamed the petite blonde, WHAT! Screamed back the blonde boy. LOOK! Look at what asked the boy confused at what he was supposed to be looking at oh, that well that doesn't look right why is there no lights in the train station? Asked Emily well don't ask me replied the boy I wouldn't know. But there's no other cars here either Emily looked around confused or any people it looks well it looks deserted, more like haunted marveled Elliot  as he walked back to the trunk of his car what are you doing now asked Emily well I'm getting torches he replied bluntly how else are we supposed to see in the dark or we could go back? No. We're going in pass me a torch as she snatched it out of  my hands hey! Shouted Elliot Careful man hands as Emily walked towards the station Elliot closed his trunk and began to walk inside he heard a rustle near the garbage bins who's there he screamed as he jumped to Emily who pointed the torch near the bins it's just the trees rustling from the winds El spoke Emily trying to get her arm back from the scared boy tugging it as the pair carried on walking inside Elliot was worried he stopped Emily and said something just doesn't feel right your right said Emily but we have to check it out yes we do but I don't know I just have this gut feeling you need to stop being so pessimistic spoke Emily as they walked inside there wasn't a single light to be seen Emily had begun coughing where is all this dust coming from as she coughed again hey you okay? spoke Elliot as he patted her back yeah I'm fine she replied with an stuffy voice it's just this dust I'll be fine let's keep moving we need to find the lockers, the station looked to have been deserted for a long time if it had gathered this much dust as they resumed walking Emily heard a door close and rattle what was that she said terrified as she began pointing out torches behind them and Elliot waived his bat who's there! I said who's there it's probably just the wind as Emily continued walking looking around as she walked treading cautiously "ain't no one sneaking up on me" she whispered underneath her breath walking looking around it felt like they was being followed, Elliot couldn't help but to keep looking back there! right there Emily pointed looking in relief  I see the lockers! Finally huffed Elliot  it felt like we was walking for hours okay there seems to be a Hell of a lot of lockers here Elliot spoke gazing around to see his surrounding you try this side and I'll do the other Emily said as they both began to try open the lockers all Elliot could think about was what could be in the locker what if it's something gruesome something bad what if there's a PIZZA WITH PINEAPPLE IN THERE! His mind was coming up with all sorts of scenarios.
