KND series book 4: false accusation

confrontation

After leaving his father's study, Shawn went to analyse the blood on the knife, he was able to confirm that the blood on it was Mabel's blood. He decided to inform the rest in school

Homeroom

Shawn:I've opened the box,or at least my dad did. Anyway, I have the murder weapon, it's definitely Mabel's blood stained on it. But the culprit used gloves so I could not be able to track her down. But I do know the person used french gloves.

Samuel: well that doesn't exactly give us much to go on.

Shawn: however, I believe that Perle isn't the culprit

Everyone looked at him in shock, only Hyeldie looked relieved.

Shawn: judging by the look on Hyeldie's face, I'm right.

Hyeldie: you are. I'm sorry for keeping this from you, but I couldn't risk putting Perle in danger, or you guys. I wanted to wait until we had more leads.

Shawn: after my father helped me hack the box, he told me never to jump to conclusions, it got me thinking, what if the culprit was someone we don't even know yet? And that's why we haven't caught the person. The fact that Perle saved Karen shows that though she can't say who's responsible, she's willing to protect Karen.

Suddenly They heard screams from the hallway, the whole class rushed out to see what had happened when they saw Karina and Karen trying to shave each other with their bare hands.

A/N- Their homeroom teacher rarely attends homeroom, so Shawn normally soundproofs the room so nice one can hear the ruckus inside.

Samuel and Sal quickly  get behind both and knocked them out by hitting a pressure point, after which they took them into class and woke them up

Karen: what happened? Oh yeah, I was trying to knock some sense into that bitch before someone knocked us out.

Karina: the only person who need sense is you!

Karen: I don't have time for this, I need air(goes to the window)

Karina: as do I! Thank goodness my first class is PE (leaves)

As she stood by the window, Sal noticed a gun sticking out from a bush, aiming at Karen, he grabbed a pen and began spinning it as he ran and pushed Karen, blocking the bullet with the pen

Sal: that was close(examines the bullet)

Shawn: we need to go catch whoever shot at Karen!

Steven: let's go!(about to run out)

Sal: Don't bother, the gun is on auto fire. This is a point blank drugged ac27 bullet. It's only used by auto fire able guns to either drug an enemy without needing to get close, or kill someone without being able to be traced. Whoever fired that gun is either at the other side of school,or not in school at all.

Samuel:(narrows his eyes) and how do you know so much about bullets? I mean they taught us about bullets and guns in military school, but they never went THAT deep. Where did you learn all that?

Sal:(almost invisibly flinches but goes back to normal)  the internet is a wonderful thing when you know how to use it right Samuel.

Samuel:{there's something you're not telling us Sal, but it'll come out eventually, you can't keep your skeletons locked in the closet.} Alright, but what are we gonna do about that gun?

Karen: I don't know, but I do know what I'm gonna do. I'm going to go the hospital and confront Mabel. As far as I know she's awake right? She's the only one who has answers (leaves)
