9. Investigation
Rudy walked into class and waited for Aiden but he didn't show up through the whole day. His teacher as usual was a complete ass to him and a couple of other kids in his class. After class had started he was falling asleep when he was awake by his mother.
"Rudy, We need to talk." Her expression was unreadable and he did not understand why she was waking him up in class. He didn't utter a word and followed her out of the class into the hallway where they met with other two detectives.
"In the principal's office." One of them guided them towards the office, the principal was waiting outside with a sullen look on his face.
"Tell me when you're finished." He said before walking away and disappearing around a corner.
"Get in." HIs mother held the door open for him to go in.
"Mom,what is it?" He asked as he sat down and watched the other two investigators enter the room and close the door behind them.
"Ok, let's get down to business. Must we?" One of them muttered as he placed a folder on the desk.
"Do you know someone named Ashley Brown?" The second one asked as he showed Rudy a picture.
"Yeah. She's my ex girlfriend. Why?" He asked concerned.
"When was the last time you saw her?" The second investigator asked.
"Umm, sir..."
"Perez." Perez interrupted.
"Mr.Perez. I saw her two days ago." Rudy looked at the picture of his ex girlfriend smiling next to a brown cow in the petting zoo.
"Where was the last place you saw her?" Perez asked as Rudy's mom and the other investigator stood behind Rudy.
"At Michelle's party, wednesday night."
"What time?" The other investigator asked.
"We met up at around 7 and she left somewhere around 8 or 9, i'm not sure."
"Did she leave on her own or you or someone else dropped her off somewhere."
"She left on her own."
"Why did she leave early and alone?"Perez asked.
"I shamed her almost in front of the whole school."
"What do you mean shamed her?" Perez asked almost in a nasty snarl. " Did you try and rape her? Did you choke her and threaten her with a knife?"
"No, my friends sent everyone a video and pictures of her cheating on me."
"Can you show us these pictures you talk of?" Rudy reached into his pocket for his phone, unlocked it. He then showed them the pictures and video everyone had seen at the party.
"Is she accusing me of rapping her or something?" Rudy asked annoyed.
" She has gone missing and there are no leads besides she leaving the party alone after a breakup." Rudy's mom placed her hand on his shoulder and asked.
"Where were you after she left?"
"At michelle's party getting drunk."
"What time did you leave?" The investigator asked.
"Around 4:50"
"Alone?" His mother asked.
"With Aiden."
"You can leave now." Perez opened the door and let him out.
"There's something strange and wrong about this case." Perez commented as he watched Rudy's mother pick up the folder and read it for the thousandth time.
"It is but I'm not sure in what way. What do you think? Grimson." She asked
"Can't say much. The first body had signs of asphyxiation and beaten to death. The two other victims too, they were both strangled and now this girl too." Grimson looked at the pictures of the second victim.
"But that's not the strange thing." Rudy's mom added on. "They were eaten. Its either our suspect is a cannibal or it's pure coincidence that a wild animal came in and ate them."
"But Evans, the animal bites are as big and wide as a lion and we are not in africa." She scuffed as she stared hard at the pictures.
"There has to be some type of lead that can get us back in track."
"Like what?" Perez asked.
"Like one tiny piece of evidence would be enough to help us catch the suspect."
"But there's none."
"I wonder if the suspect is a woman?"
"It can't be. It had more than enough strength to knock Devicka out with a blow to the head." Grimson pointed out to the autopsy.
"But what about in the woods? There was blood that did not belong to the first suspect and was mixed with O- and animal blood." Perez asked.
"Possible a wolf." Evans pointed out. " military records and prison records were compared but it did not match for shit." She was becoming frustrated with this case."You know. What if the suspect is a woman and doesn't look threatening, probably weak or amigable?"
""Evans. I don't think so."
"If it was a man he would be messier, leaving a lot of trace evidence and would go for women to kill and rape."
"But if it was a woman wouldn't she stick to torturing only men?"
"But if that's true she only goes with the heart."
Aiden hadn't answer any of Rudy's texts or calls and eventually he gave up. Luna entered the room with his science partner that never came to class. They talked to the teacher before taking a seat on the same table Rudy was.
"If you win what will your price be?" He asked to Carolina.
"Mmm." She smiled sinisterly. "You'll do whatever i tell you to do for two days." He leaned closer to her.
"And if I win we'll go to the movies and watch something."
"Deal." She agreed as she opened her binder and started drawing.
"Last time you got caught Mueller ran out of the school." Rudy reminded her about the little incident.
"I think he learned the lesson." She went back to to her drawings. The drawing consisted of pen slashes that were taking the form of an underwater forest.
Thirty minutes after class had started Dennis and Luna were asleep. Her face was covered by her hair and Mr. Cox seemed annoyed by the three of them.
"Luna,Rudy and Dennis. Get out of my class this moment." Mr.Cox was angry. Dennis sluggishly got up from his seat and shook Luna awake.
"What do you want?" She asked annoyed as she went back to sleep.
"I want you out of my class." Mr. Cox shouted. Luna got out of her seat and slowly approached him.
"Do you even know what i am?" She asked, he started to quiver. Every step she took towards him he would take a step back in fear until he was standing next to a wall. As soon as his back had touched the wall he let out a muffled whimper while trying to coil into a small ball.
"Bother me one more time and will I'll personally make sure to exile your ass into the thorny valley." She petted his head before going back to her seat. Mr. Cox tried to straighten p as best as he could and gestured Rudy and Dennis to go back to their seats.
"What the hell was that?" Rudy asked but Lun ignored him by going to sleep next to Dennis. One thing the two of them had in common was that they slept through classes.
