I wake up in a soft bed and sheet on me. The first thing I see is, only to see green curtains and hospital beds.

Oh, that's why the air smells weird.

"Hey, you okay?" I heard someone's voice. I turned to find it's Mrs Docins.

"Yeah, but my stomach hurts." I replied, clutching my stomach.

"Because it gets stabbed by someone, who attacked you." She said, stating the obvious.

Like I didn't know that.

"Oh, what happened exactly while I passed out?" I asked.

"I don't know. The police find you. The news spread out like a fire. I just came over to check you, as soon as my work done. Then, here we're now." She replied.

"Anything else?" I asked.

"Like what?" She questioned.

"Did they caught the person who attacked, or did he escaped?" I said.

"No, he escaped. But the police said that the attacker is someone on our school." She replied.

"How so?"

"Come on. After the last attack, school upsurged the security. There in no way, anyone could barged in." She said, looking down at floor, as she continued, "But if there is a killer inside our school, I don't think that anyone on school will be safe."

"Yeah." I mumbled, as an awkward silence take place between us.

We heard a fake cough, we look at the person. It's investigator, unfortunately, I know him.

"Uh, I'll see you later. Bye." She said, as she starts to leave the room.

"Bye, stay safe." I said. I can feel that she is smiling, somehow. The man closed the door behind and sit on the place where Mrs Docins was sitting.

"Long time no see, Mr Rodge." He said, grinning.

Yeah, I know this idiot. He is Dave Braggington, my old partner before I've to look over that jinx apprentice. We know, each other since highschool and didn't have good relations at all, that time.

"Yeah. Wish that there is someone else instead of you." I said, rolling my eyes.

"I see that you're still a grumpy old bratty fart, like before. You aren't change, are you?" He said.

"What can we do, now? The only grumpy old bratty fart here, I see is you." I said, sarcastically.

"So, who do you wants to come here instead of your old buddy, an old hag or something?" He said, faking a pout. I raised an eyebrow at the "your old buddy" part.

"I can even choose a fly over you." I said, huffing.

"Come on. No need to be rude." He said, groaned.

"You started it." I said.

"Fine, you got me. You're so stubborn." He said, with a sigh.

"I learned from the best." I said, sarcasm dripping from every word.

"Let's get to the point, already. I got this case and you're telling me everything." He said.

"What if I don't?" I said, teasingly. It earns a glare from him, as he said, "It's no time for your stupid teasing, Rodge."

"Whatever. What do you wanna know?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Who do you think that person is? Why he attacked you of all people? Does he work for someone?" He asked a series of more questions at once.

"Listen here. I have no clue who or why the hell anyone attacks me." I said, trying to process what happened that time.

"Did he tell you his plan?" He asked.

"Why the hell he would do that?" I asked, trying to not answer but I don't know that attacker's plan exactly either. But one thing I'm sure of is that I don't trust Braggington for some reason.

"Sometimes, villain are bigmouths." He replied.

"Yeah, he said that he and his boss wanna kill me for some reason, that I still don't know." I said, crossing my arms.

"So, they're after you then?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

Isn't it obvious?

I wanna say that but instead I said, "Maybe. But who knows that he don't go after anyone else? Maybe, he sneak under our sight, and kill someone else when no one is watching."

"Yeah, who knows. Maybe, the school will raise their security again." He said.

"Yeah. But the best I know is that principal is gonna hide this from social media, since this is a prestigious school. It's gonna ruins the school's and his reputation, if the news spread out." I said, closing my eyes.

This entire situation is causing me a headache.

"It already spread out." He said.

"So, are they gonna close the school?" I asked, looking at him curiously.

"Yeah, for some weeks only. The school's principal is so god damn stubborn for his own good or bad." He said.

"Well, closing isn't the worst idea, but also nor a best one too. If the killer is from our own school, then how could you find him and how will you get evidence that he's the one?" I said.

"Honestly, I've no idea. Maybe, I can check in the place, where you  got attacked." He said.

"Yeah, you should check on basements, too." I said.

"Why?"

"Because every bad things take place there. It don't take a genius to figure it out." I said, snorting at him.

"You still have some detective's tactics on you, haven't you?" He said, grinning again.

I chuckles.

"It's time for me to leave. Goodbye, moron. I'll see ya, later." He said.

"Bye, you nitwit." I muttered.

"I heard ya." He said, as he leaves, closing the door behind him.

I sighed.

★Time Skippo~ With Mr Rodge lost in memories★

Zelina's POV

I heard that Mr Rodge getting attacked by a traitor and the traitor is currently in our school. Mom visited him.

What the hell? Why Mr Rodge, of all people, caught her attention? It's not like she's one of those bitches roaming around in bars, making out with guys.

Plus, I think that Mr Rodge is kinda different. It's like there is something he hides from everyone.

My train of thoughts interrupted by someone.

"You shouldn't be here."

"So, nor do you." I said, turning to face Anastasia.

"Look, teacher gives me and Adrian the charge to get everyone's asses out of here. So, stop increasing my work." She said.

"Who the hell do you think you're, huh?" I said, offensively.

"The in charge of this class, right now. And the vice president of this school." She states the obvious.

I rolled my eyes and starting to leave. I go downstairs towards first floor. I suddenly heard a scream. It's sound so familiar voice. My eyes widen when I realised who's voice it is.

I start running towards the direction where it came from.

It's her voice.
