Chapter Nine : Providence Down Under
BECKETT HOUSE
The next morning, Mrs. Tiffany Jones, Sasha's mother, is on the news channel.
Tiffany Jones (TV News Channel) Good morning, town residents. Dennis Turner, former professor at the Providence Boarding School Academy, was apprehended yesterday for the murders of Joaquin Smith, Mandy Griffith and Arnold Marks. Dennis Turner will be held accountable for the three murders with no release. This has been Tiffany Jones with your morning news.

PROVIDENCE ACADEMY
The next day, I slowly walks down the hallway and the academy students applauds me for bringing down former professor Dennis Turner.
I small smile to myself as I slowly walks by the applauding academy students.
Catty (VO) I feel good about myself, helping my Mom solve her case. And now, that the case is closed, there's some pieces left to pick up.
After the applauding had ceased, I open my locker and puts my backpack inside.
Sebastian walks up next to me and gently leans sideways on a locker. "You feel special about yourself, huh?"
"I helped my Mom take down a murder culprit, so, yeah, I guess I am feeling a little special about myself." I said to him.
Sebastian small smiles at Me. "Just don't let the special agent stuff get to your head."
"It won't." I said.
"How about a date at Rochelle's after class?" Sebastian asked.
"Leigh Ann, Sasha and I have work shifts at Rochelle's, but afterwards, yeah." I said to him.
"Alright then, I'll see you later, Carrey." Sebastian said, pecks a kiss on my forehead and walks away.

In the arts&crafts room, I'm painting on a canvas of a vase of sunflowers.
Grayson slowly walks inside. "Nice sunflower painting."
I glance at Grayson. "Thanks, I figured this academy needs some painting because the display wall is plain."
"Yeah, it is." Grayson said, slowly walks over to a stool and sits down. "I'm having a party at my house this evening."
"I'll be there." I said to him. "How's your Dad, Holland?"
"My Dad's fine. He owns a dive bar here." Grayson said. "And he does cool tattoos."
"Tattoos?" I said with a glance.
"Yeah." Grayson said, taking off his blazer jacket and gently pulls up his right sleeve, showing me his bird tattoo on his right upper shoulder. "Pretty cool, huh?"
"Yeah." I said to him.
Grayson puts his blazer jacket back on. "My Dad did last night."
I look at Grayson. "So, you're really gonna do your gang group?"
"Yeah, and I'm gonna be the Thrasher Prince." Grayson said.
"And who's gonna be the Thrasher Princess?" I asked.
"I asked Roxy, but she said she's gonna think about it." Grayson tells me.
"Okay." I said, taking out my phone and sends a video of my revenge against Alyssa in a group chat.
Grayson's phone buzzes in his blazer jacket pocket. He takes out his phone and looks at it.
"What the hell?" Grayson said, looking at my revenge on Alyssa. "It seemed like someone got Alyssa."
In the hallway . . .
The Beckett Crew and other academy students looks at their phones at the small video of a blindfold half-naked Alyssa with the oil pastel words "I'm a Bedfellow slut" on her flat stomach.
Everyone looks at Alyssa and she looks around at everyone as they slowly start to laugh at Alyssa.
Grayson and I walks out of the arts&crafts room and into the hallway.
Alyssa looks at Me, Leigh Ann and Sasha with a knowing look on her face.
"Stop it?! Stop laughing at me?!" Alyssa exclaimed, looking around at everyone.
Alyssa walks away, feeling embarrassed and dejected.
Catty (VO) You know what they say, payback's a bitch.

ROCHELLE'S DINER
Later that afternoon, Leigh Ann, Sasha and I had changed into our waitress uniforms.
The three of us are serving customers in the booth tables, handing out food, milkshakes, and any other food or beverages.
I slowly walks up to the diner counter and gently leans sideways on it.
Leigh Ann and Sasha slowly walks up next to me.
"You're going to Grayson's party?" I asked both Leigh Ann and Sasha.
"Yeah, are you?" Sasha asked me.
"Yeah, I'm not much of a party girl, but yeah, I'm going." I said.
"I'm sure that it'll be fun." Leigh Ann said.
"Yeah, definitely." Sasha said.
Leigh Ann, Sasha and I exchange chuckles with each other.

BAXTER HOUSE
[Song: Habits (Stay High) - Tove Lo]
That evening, everyone is partying at Grayson's house, sitting around on the couches, drinking margaritas from the cooler, eating party snack food.
I had changed back into my boarding school uniform, sitting atop the kitchen countertop with my red party cup of cherry limeade margarita.
Grayson gets up on the coffee table so, everyone can see him and raises his can of margarita in the air.
[Song ends]
"To Joaquin, Mandy and Arnold." Grayson said, making a toast.
"To Joaquin, Mandy and Arnold." Everyone said in unison and takes a swig of their drinks.
Grayson looks at me and gently leaps off the coffee table and slowly walks up to me.
"Hey, Wannabe Detective. Glad you came." Grayson said.
"Yeah, me too." I said.
"Just to let you know, Sebastian and I figured it was you with the small video "Bedfellow Slut" with Alyssa." Grayson said to me. "I knew you had it in you, but I didn't think you would actually have done it."
"You'd be surprised what I'm capable of, Gray." I said to him, drinking the rest of my margarita.
"I know, that's why I don't piss you off." Grayson said.
Suddenly, Trixie collapses onto the floor, causing everyone to look at her, worried.
I leap off the kitchen countertop and scurries over to Trixie and gently holds her in my arms.
"Trixie?" I said, putting my fingertips on her neck to feel a pulse. "Oh my gosh, she's unresponsive." And looks up at everyone. "Someone call 911. Now!"
Sebastian takes out his phone and dials 911 and tells the operator what's going on.
"Trixie? Stay with me. Stay with me, Trixie." I tell her, worriedly.
Catty (VO) Three deaths has already happened, we don't need another.
