Timothy found himself stuck in court talk with Chuck Reynolds and Hayden Jacks, contemplating how it had come to this. Yes, he wanted to know more about the girls' habits and how they interact with friends.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXrtQ3SBTP

848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWfhs1Pzpr
He was only someone they knew and occasionally crushed on. It was only Jessica Gregory who knew him. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoUQqZU4M7
"No, Poppy's old news...a bit boring." Hayden continued their conversation when it steered to girls and other things, "Starlet Corelli came back."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i4tReTZlE
Timothy recalled Jessica mentioning something about Poppy and Starlet Corelli being enemies. "Starlet Corelli? Who is she?" 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7rqwDgKzc
"Oh no one -only the biggest mafia boss' daughter in Hemshore. Apparently there's something called the The Six Chairs one of them the High Don -the Corelli's are two chairs away from being the biggest mafia organization in all of Garner Island."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnqu0fKLRg
"And no one has ever caught them?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg20C2mhWgM
"That's why they're the best in Hemshore but unfortunately there's a rumour that Starlet's dad is in the pit. Her mom's rumoured to take over but don't tell anyone that, don't wanna get caught up in cops and and mafia. That's getting us all killed."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVXvlA4QzF
Timothy nodded and took a sip of his drink.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEBlIfFSwm
"Hey Timothy!" Kelli appeared with Meloni slumbering by her side.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00OGFbttLv
Mel waved her finger through the air and poked Timothy's nose, "We've been looking all over for you, naughty boy." 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJINCz3BMgF
Meloni Gonzalez, the most flirtatious of the crowd, always down for whatever. She had three visible piercings and one rumored between her thighs. She was the wild card, the party girl -never once a dull moment.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iuzlvv030
Chuck and Hayden snickered each other arrogant smirks and pounded fists when the girls was facing away from them. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGws4eRaktt
"Why?" Timothy asked perhaps somewhat rude.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJE3XOj4JL
"It's just...we couldn't find Mike and was wondering if you'd come with us to check on Poppy. It's so unlike her to be this late. Something's not right."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN7GlUArEy
Timothy could render great concern from Kelli but his teammates felt a different matter. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuobk37Gds
"Uh...okay I'll be there in a sec." Kelli walked away, dragging her drunk friend along. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnqLDx3kc7
"Well everyone knows what happens at Poppy's right! You're lucky brother." Chuck patted Timothy on the back.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuewghKegxA
"Enjoy!" Hayden beamed, toasting his glass against Timothy's. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQMKU3427O
Timothy shook his head and walked to the parking lot. Wondering whether it was all a trap to question him about Ashley Greeley. Had Jessica told them about this morning? Did they kill Ashley?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYMMUkKLig
Kelli stood beside her red Jeep, waving and beaming at Timothy. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKh0aDhABu
"You've overcome worse than this Timothy Graham. You can take a bunch of psycho killer girls." He told himself than continued forward.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkoHvzLGG
The drive to Poppy's was anything but awkward -rather quite pleasant. He was sitting in the backseat between Farah and Mel, whom occasionally drifted off -napping on his shoulder. He was somewhat envious of Rachel who sat comfortably in the passenger seat next to Kelli. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD0eCEJpqB
Despite the discomfort of having Mel's alcohol fumes intoxicate his nostrils, the conversation went flawless like they had spoken to each other far often than they were. It made him realise that all their pretty-popular-girl attitudes was just an act. They were so different from what they were when parading the hallways of Hemshore East High -but somehow, the possibility of them being behind Ashley Greeley's disappearance never escaped his mind. He knew the next day, everything will go back to normal and the real identities of the it girls would be tugged in somewhere far away from everyone else. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafanu5hPFC
Alcohol really did make a lot of confessions come out but none that involved Ashley Greeley.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVOkyEctvd
"So my mom is back with Stan!" Farah typed vigorously on her phone and rolled her eyes, "Yay!" hissing sarcastically.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOBfEw7dLW
"Oh God Farah! You have to get her away from him before she falls back into drugs. You'll go into the system while you're not eighteen yet. Do remember your birthday's in December." Rachel looked her sideways and rolled her eyes.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA7kCNB5i0
Farah was accepted the low in IQ, of the group. No one thinking twice to ever ask her anything. Everyone played themselves a fool, behind her mysterious wild brown eyes and innocent naïve looking appearance, Timothy could see Farah as the opposite of what her rich friends made her out to be.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rOHdwswbs
"Too late." Kelli uttered. She pursed her lips together, looking at Farah in her rear view mirror. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkuxZtLAFs
"What did you say!?" 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA1jdIyVM3
"I'm sorry, Fare I wasn't going to say anything until later when we're alone." 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tqlcMt4Gt
Farah looked at Timothy, he had something in his eyes -like he could see right through her. That moment being shared by only the two of them. She redirected her gaze on Kelli, whose eyes were fixed on them in the rear view mirror.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPadr8i0U3
She felt a rush of jealousy steer through her. Every time he'd paid Poppy all the attention, played within in her mind as she witnessed the intense gaze between her crush and friend. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCj1dfUQId
"So what! You saw my mom at a crack house and decided to tell me when we're drunk and probably high!?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgtFgKohyq
"We'll talk later okay."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulQi6hjyiF
"No! Does Rachel know? Do you?" Farah looked at Rachel angered. Her friend let her head down. "And you still give me the system talk!? I bet Mel, Jess and Poppy knows too, right."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkJhYliquD
"Fare chill...it's not like that." Kelli said calmly.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIwGISvsCx
"Pull over." Farah stared out of the window.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtB7ulvdv4
"What?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6SG0RdtKn
"I said, pull over." Farah never once failing to compose her collected state. "Everyone gonna talk about my mother behind my back, how about we talk about your mothers?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRVHCTkPrD
"Come one Farah this isn't necessary."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1DbwTvv3l
"Not necessary because Timothy is here? Is it because people might find out what you truly are? Kelli how would you like it if people knew how your mom agreed to fuck her boss to make partner? Oops, now Timothy and Rachel knows.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTOxgvw8vW
Or...Rachel, how would you feel if Kelli and the other girls was to know about your mom?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yq8AgxADt
Kelli pulled the car against the sidewalk, coming to halt quickly. On either side were homes occupying the road. Farah got out quickly, continuing ahead. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo9KjyjIhM
Kelli and Rachel got out of the car, Timothy quickly on their tale. What had been pleasant had quickly escalated into girl drama. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNza1Vc8lJ
"Farah where are you going?" 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMViz3hdsR2
"I'm leaving so you can talk about your poor black friend from the wrong side of the tracks and her crack head mom." 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUzi6ivMvY
"Come one Fare, it's not even like that!"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpzw6MNIvA
"Farah!" Timothy exclaimed in a humble town, giving a quick jog after her. "Hey..." He placed his arm around her shoulder, stepping in front of her.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwm7OpXpxU
"Timothy just go." He could see tears flowing from her eyes. Not knowing what to do, he placed his hands on both her shoulders.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGxjZG1Czv
"A good friend once told me that sometimes girls can be dicks but I told her hear them out, maybe there's a reason for it all." He said trying to lend her comfort. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclDFKgAJuB
"Fare!" Kelli's voice emerged behind her. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGON3y6HvEE
"Let's just get to Poppy's already and thereafter not pretend to be friends anymore." Farah walked pass Kelli, waiting by the door for Timothy to take his former seat. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuaPIFgF7I
"Rachel switch with Timothy. He looked uncomfortable with Mel on his shoulder."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTy5MoevGH
Kelli got into the car, not once making eye contact with Farah or Timothy, who'd glanced slightly at each other before getting back into the car. Kelli had known her decision was out of pure jealousy for the chemistry she decided existed between them. Farah had somewhat known too but it didn't matter. She knew she could never go for Timothy Graham -she had seen Kelli peer gazes at him and knew as per fact Poppy would never in a million years allow it. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyBpynmIuP
She sat back in her seat and stared out of the window -dying for the day when she'd finally be free from popularity, forever.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgGmfoq9Ph
Five minutes later.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0VnUzbyOr
Kelli parked her car in the driveway of the Marshall manor. Rachel gently pushed Meloni of her shoulder, still phased in her drunk state. They moved swiftly to the door, Rachel eagerly reaching for the doorknob rather than knocking first. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zt3y9O0nS
The door cracked open and Rachel poked her head inside, eyes scattering around the empty reception hall. "Poppy?" Her voice echoed through the designer custom home.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiOiAKko2p
"This is so strange," said Kelli, "her car is parked upfront and she's definitely an early riser."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JRV1OBKNE
"Wait...I'll go first." Timothy moved in front of Rachel, pushing the door open and slowly stepping inside.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH78PToDnRI
It took him a minute to adjust his eyes to all the white occupying the Marshall home and the hollow, dire atmosphere that lingered once he set his foot inside the door. Timothy familiarised himself with every corner of the place as he concluded that Mrs Marshall was one that preferred her home neatly kept at all times, even if no one occupied it. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPV3pTHNsd
He searched for anything that could possibly be erroneous, anything that could imply something was off. He had nothing but the cold hollowness that increased as they reached the staircase.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDpjvlPOcs
"Poppy!?" Kelli called once more...848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66n5TFQlpa
"We should split up and check the rooms." Suggested Rachel.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1AMNcKiPu
"Hell no!" Farah muttered, "I'm scared as hell! I'm not going around this house alone."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbqLvQWptU
"I'm with Farah on this one." Kelli uttered. "Why is it so cold in here?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zpLHodyuB
"Maybe the air-conditioning is messing again."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeNJCxR9bw
"Timothy continue. Poppy's room is in the right, the second door." Farah shivered, slowly following behind her friends. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuwXCHSi7x
Behind Timothy, only footsteps were audible as Kelli's breath brushed against his neck. He shivered and his vision all a sudden blurry -remembering the night he had experienced true terror. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFprrvz0VeD
"You're high right!" Kelli placed her hand on his shoulder concerned, seeking his eyes. "You know she killed those bunnies. Why did you lie? How could you protect a murderer?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRbX04etD3
"What?" Timothy looked at Kelli confused -than, as if bright light had strike him, he remembered his ten year old self in the woods behind the Gregory's home. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fsoyQVHJK
"How did you known that!?" Timothy did best to act nonchalant about the matter, his mind racing.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiuIBdOZyt
"Dizzy state, you're sweating and it's freezing in here. Confusion..."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLx4pbeIh0
"Oh God! Did Hayden give you that...new thing? Z?" Rachel was in a semi state of panic, "it's experimental you shouldn't take it."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q9ehxAPpR
"Wait...didn't you? What did you ask me just now Kelli?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh2iutHGI5
The three girls all looked at Timothy in trepidation, fearing the worse.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVVOoVRPWm
"I asked you if you were high on which you eagerly confirmed. What is going on with you?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKhZ9LJxPc
Rachel stepped closer, placing her hand against his head, "It looks like it."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9NkF4mTmO
"Look, I'm okay. Lets not forget what we're here for." Timothy turned back around. Visiting that horrific childhood memory once more.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBpqHVod4b
Everyone behind Timothy waited in anticipation for him to open the door.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHTcUtWb8X
848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykY1tQbe4z
"Wait..." Rachel tugged her hair behind her ear and handed Timothy a tissue, "something's not feeling right here -use this."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfteh0LE3e
"Rachel you're being silly." Farah tried to protest.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVfERi7UHc
Timothy pushed the door open and the scent of death immediately consumed their nostrils. Rachel spun around and vomited in the hallway at the sight of a perfectly tanned barefoot leg. Blood everywhere in Poppy Marshall's room. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZIlahwEoV
Farah stiffened at the horrific view in front of her -eyes scattering around in search of the remainder of her friends body around the room.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSekbv28QR
Timothy stood firmly holding Kelli, whom couldn't once stop shaking. Her body in a rapid and frantic state. Despite the fact that it might be Poppy's leg on the bed next to him -his mind only pointed out the fact that none of the present party was going into complete turmoil -crying and screaming to call the police. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT8CMxIT97
What did they know?848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzq5rGP0QD
In stead, they were only astonished by the sight before them.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYsBjILlxP
"Does anyone have a phone on them? We need to call the police."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcB1rMKllr
Silence consumed the room that bore a homicide and Kelli stepped away from Timothy quickly.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMItjK2xNn
"No police!" Rachel's eyes grew wide. "Please don't call the police?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpuBj7hSlk
"What the...your friend is missing and a human leg is lying on her bed. Look around, there's blood everywhere! We have to call the police she could be dead."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRryaBtqOW
"It's almost graduation, they promised we could get out!" Farah started to cry. "Why is this happening!?"848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DJ0LBhpi1
"Shut up, Farah!" Kelli exclaimed moving to crouch in front of her friend.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo3vxExQEf
"What is going on here? Do you know why this happened? Do you know who did this?" Kelli stood and turned to face Timothy. He saw her completely change.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SMbDf2dQ3
"No! We're not sure."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8yrAcdOnu
"Kelli don't play games with me right now. Tell me what the hell is going on or I call the police and tell them there's some secret you're hiding as well."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5BYX0iDu3
"We're not hiding anything."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdUE78HGMg
"Timothy please don't call the police?" Rachel plead. "We can't say anything or we might all end up dead."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhxVfthcqm
"Rachel!" Kelli was angry.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCZd6FFAw7
"I can help you." Timothy hardly gave it thought as those words escaped his mouth and so instinctively earned the attention of the three girls.848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUuXnyicUV
Farah stood up, walking to Timothy when Kelli quickly grabbed her by the arm. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVboAI5DRP
"The only way you can help right now -is to not call the police and allow us to clean all of this up. If Poppy is still alive and this maniac knows we contacted the police, he will kill her."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyI9yGSrxw
"Are you listening to yourself right now? You sound as if you know who's doing this. Has someone been stalking you girls?" Timothy moved his eyes between them and rested rested them on Farah. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFHn51djpV
"Farah?" Timothy knew she was the one that would easily crack, she was edgy and looked like she might loose it at any moment. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8UGkAxNEj
Farah looked back at Timothy, tears flowing loosely from her eyes, "I'm going to ask you to trust me and not call the police. Only because I don't want you involved in all of this, I can't tell you. I won't be able to live with myself knowing I had ruin your life."848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlZ46RyYYQ
Timothy sighed, finding no sign of Farah being insincere -yet incapable of letting it go just like that. The memories of the life he had before returning to Hemshore was enough to come to a decision, "You have until tonight to tell me what's going on or I go to the police." 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbo2GY7RhF
He quickly retrieved his phone from his jacket pocket moving to the door. Turning around he flipped on his camera and recorder a video. 848Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2kOb6mzlC
"I know what you did to Ashley Greeley." He wanted to see what happens and found the girls looking at him in trepidation once more. "If Poppy Marshall turns up dead with one leg, than this video is evidence you had something to do with her murder too."
