Chapter 10 Late For Class
Teddy Blackwell got out of his car with one leg after the other. He looked around, and strode towards the large gate. The sound of police sirens as they pulled onto the parking area outside the Lyra Clan.
The moment he walked through the gates, the smell of blood, and smoke hit his nostrils making him scrunch his face in disgust.
The dead bodies of the members of the Lyra Clan littered the ground. Teddy sighed, and fished for a pack of cigarettes. He grabbed one, and placed it between his lips before lighting it.
"Detective!" His partner Karen walked towards his and offered a cup of to him which he declined.
"I'm good. The smell in this place is gonna make my insides be on the outside if I take even a sip" He said, and Karen shrugged before taking a sip of both the coffees in her hands.
"So, What's the situation so far?" He asked, and glanced down at the leader, who looked like he was beaten to a pulp first before the killer delivered the final blow.
"Several dead bodies with no one left alive not even the kids. A pile of dead bodies burnt to a crisp at the south of the property. Blood everywhere, with no traces from the killers, even the CCTV footage was wiped clean. From the way I see it, it looks like Lyra fucked with the wrong people" Karen replied.
Teddy chuckled. He took a puff of his cigar, and blew before speaking " That's no surprise, since Lyra have been known for backstabbing, and double crossing. Looks like it didn't work out this time around" He said, and locked his lips.
His eyes stayed on the dead body, and he smirked "Who ever did this is someone powerful, and intelligent. Someone who isn't even from this city, probably came here because of Lyra" He said.
Karen sipping the coffees at the same time before speaking "So, what are you implying?" She asked with a raised brow "The people who did this will be easier to find if we know the people who entered the city in the last 72 hours" She said.
"Still as quick witted as always" Teddy said.
Karen shrugged" I'll look into it" She said, and walked away.
Miley, and Catherine were walking in the hallway while chatting cheerful. As they walked towards their last class of the day. The hallway was almost empty as most of the students had retreated into their dorms for the day.
" I can't believe that I'm still single even though Valentines day is just around the corner" She sighed " Maybe I should go out with that nerd....Charlie was it?" She said, and Miley stared at her as if she was crazy.
" Charlie? The same Charlie who has pictures of all the hottest girls in med pasted on the walls of his dorm room? Including you!" Miley said, and scowled.
Catherine huffed, and looked forward. Her dark brown hair swayed to the side as she tilted her head. She sighed" I know... but I'm desperate" She bit her lower.
" It's not the end of the world. I'm sure that staying one year without a boyfriend on Valentines won't kill you" Miley said, and took a bite from her fifth cupcake.
Perks of having a high metabolism. She could eat a meal meant for five people, and still look as snatched as before she started eating.
Catherine scoffed" Says the bitch who's never had a boyfriend. I've never had to spend a year without a boyfriend, and It hurts my pride. Not that you would understand" She rolled her eyes.
Miley frowned" Rude Bitch! Don't blame your bullshit on me. As you can see I've been surviving fine without a lover, and I'm sure that I can survive a bit more" She smirked, and brushed her hair back with the palm of her hand in proud.
Catherine rolled her eyes" Virgin Bitch!" She spat.
Miley ignored her. Her eyes wondered forward, and they stopped when someone in the hallway walking towards them. Her heart skipped a beat at who she saw.
"Is'nt that Angelo?" Catherine spoke from behind her. She glanced at her before looking back at Angelo.
" How is that possible? Is'nt he a barista?" She asked, and blinked.
Miley sighed" Of course. He is pursing a Bachelor of Dental Surgery. Though, being a doctor would suit him more"She said, and shrugged.
As if on queue Angelo spotted her 'He spotted you" Catherine spoke in a whisper.
Angelo spoke briefly with his friends before rushing away towards them. " And now his coming towards us" She muttered. She immediately decided that it was her queue, and left.
"I'll see in the lecture room" Catherine said, and winked making Miley chuckled. She rushed away leaving her to her fate.
Angelo stopped in front of her, and she smiled at him which he returned" Hi" He said, and Miley nodded in acknowledge. He looked around as if he was nervous about something before speaking" So, I...umh, actually wanted to ask if you were free on Saturday. I'd like to take you out on a date.... I really would like to know you as you" He smiled.
Miley was overjoyed. Her two years old crush was finally being reciprocate, and the fact that he was asking her out on a date meant that he was serious about her.
"S...sure..." She paused" Wait, but I have this thing with my mom on Saturday" She bit her lower lip, and prayed that he wasn't displeased.
Fortunately, his expression did'nt change. He shrugged" Alright, how about Friday?"He asked. Miley's eyes lite up, and nodded.
"Yeah, Friday sounds good"She said, and Angelo smiled.
"Okay, see you then" He said before rushing away, leaving her to her thought.
Her expression was blank for a while before, as she was already imaging their life together. Maybe a day they would get married, and have lots of kids.......She knew that it was bit of a stretch bit her brain was already thinking two hundred steps ahead into the future.
She squeled before hopping away. She felt so light that she could fly. She always had such rotten luck when it came to the opposite gender, and now that she's got a chance with a guy she feels affection for there is no way in hell is she letting him go.
She barged into the lecture room without thinking, and the smile on her face was wiped off when she realized that class had already resumed. Every student in class turned to her, and she almost passed out from the stares.
