At the dinning table...
" Are you really going to stay here mother?" Theo asked his mother
" Yes of course, I meant what I said at the hospital yesterday" she responded
" What about your fashion company at Dubai?" He asked her
" I will have my employees take care of it" she replied
" Okay" he responded
" Let's talk about you Theo, I heard you have a running competition next week" she said
" Well mum; I am not competing anymore" he Responded
" What!" His parents shouted
" Why?" His mother asked
" I just don't want to do it" he responded
"Is it because of Tyler again? You are still blaming yourself" His father said
" I just decided not to do it dad, I have been winning and I don't want to move to abroad. Who will take care you and your business dad?" He asked
" You..." His father was quickly interrupted by his wife who touched his arm
" Let him be, it's his choice" she told her husband. Her husband inhaled and exhaled as they continued eating.
( The dorm)
Amanda and Rebecca kept giving each other a weird look which had lasted for almost twenty minutes as if they were planning something and then checking if the other person is suspicious about it
" What about your friend Bianca?" Rebecca asked breaking the silence
" What about her?" Amanda asked icily
" She haven't been in school for some days now. Isn't she going to write exams?" Rebecca asked
" You can ask her when you meet her, I haven't seen her for days too" she responded
" Both of you were at the hospital" Rebecca said
" So what? What exactly do you want?" Amanda asked dropping her phone
" Are you naturally this sassy or is it some kind of illness? How did you became friends with a good person like Bianca?" She asked her which slightly angered Amanda
" A good person like Bianca?" Amanda asked as she gasped in annoyance
" What? She is no longer your friend because she did drugs? You both have been fighting for weeks" Rebecca said
" Stop talking as if I can't do without her. I can do just fine without anybody's help!" She angrily shouted.
Rebecca grinned " I just pity your mother, I wonder where she is" she said getting up from her bed
" Say that again and I will make you regret" Amanda threatened
" You can't fight me Amanda because I have seen worse than you have, if you try; you will loose" Rebecca said looking straight into her eye " I will be back home late" she. Said again before slamming the door of the room.
" I hate people like her" Amanda said.

Grey's Highschool 11pm...
" Did you get the key?" Rebecca asked
" Yes of course, it wasn't hard to get it" Holland responded.
" What about the securities? Aren't any of them in school?" Rebecca curiously asked
" There is one who is on night shift but he is currently taking his bathe " Holland responded
" Then we are good to go" she said. The both of them made way into the school after climbing the walls from the back of the school. They made sure no one had seen them enter into the school building.
Holland unlocked the door to the principal office, the both of them secretly entered why closing the door after them.
" Where do you think the most important documents would be kept inside the office?" Rebecca asked him
" The safe" he responded as he pointed out the safe that was almost hidden at the side of the wardrobe
" Do you know the combination?" She asked him
" I could guess" he responded why moving close to the safe. He tried some few codes but none of them worked
" I thought you said you could guess? I guess your father doesn't even trust you too" Rebecca said
" I won't argue about that because he values his school and cars more than I " He responded
" What is Grey in numerical figure?" Rebecca asked
"718525" Holland responded
" Input it" she said to him Holland quickly inputted the numbers and it cracked open immediately
" Shoot!" Holland shouted in surprise and Rebecca quickly closed his mouth.
They opened the safe and was thrilled to see alot of files in it. They silently start checking them out to know which one of them was having the ex staffs information.
Amanda arrived at the principal home. She had dressed herself in black why putting on a nose mask to avoid recognition. Luckily for her, the gate wasn't high enough for her, she climbed the gates and entered the bungalow
" I can't believe I am doing this" she said to herself.
She looked around to make sure no one was there before heading to the garage , when she arrived there; she smiled at the sight of the two cars, the red one and the black one. She raised the baseball bat she had collected from the school sport complex and started smashing the black car first. She made sure she was fast enough to hit the windscreen and then the side mirrors and windows including the car bumper . She was interrupted when she saw the light switch on from one of the rooms. She quickly hit the red car's windscreen hard and the car started making siren sounds.
" Who is there?!" She heard Mr Grey's voice from afar
" Shit" she said as she quickly made her way out off the garage, she climbed the gates in a Jeffy but was slightly slashed by the sharp part of it. She groaned in pain when she had landed on the ground with a great thud
Mr Grey dash into his garage where he had heard the noise come from. He had heard the disturbing noise continuously while asleep so he got up and put on his clothes before unlocking the outside door.
" No! No! Not my baby!" He shouted when he had seen how badly damaged his black car was and his red car was almost damaged.

" I found it" Rebecca said bringing out the big book having the images and details of the old staffs to the new ones .
Holland left the other books on his hand and approached her so that they can check it out together. Rebecca opened the book as they flip page by page on it. Hollands phone rang almost giving them an heart attack
" What the hell, you didn't switch off your phone?" Rebecca asked
" Sorry" he responded as he quickly reached for his phone inside his pocket " it's my dad" he said
" Why would your dad be calling you by this time?" She curiously asked him
" Maybe he found out that I was Missing" he responded
" Well pick it up and lie, he had called for three times now" Rebecca said and Holland nodded his head
After some minutes of Talking on the phone, Holland looked up to Rebecca
" Someone broke into our home" he said
" What? Where did you tell him you where?" She asked him
" I told him I went outside for a walk, I have to hurry back because it seems urgent" he said
" Okay, I will give you the keys tomorrow been Sunday" she told him
" Be careful okay" he said to her and she nodded her head. He quickly left heading back home.
Rebecca continued checking the books. When she had came to a certain page, she paused and checked it again to be sure she was seeing well. She snapped the page and then arrange back the whole books and documents the way it was inside the safe before closing them back.
" Holland?" Theo called as soon as he saw Holland entering the gate " where have you been?" He asked
" Outside for a walk, I couldn't sleep" he lied " what happened?" he curiously asked
" Someone broke in and damaged your dad's cars" he responded
" What? They were gifts to him that have good memories on it" Holland said why following him to the garage, there were some Police men there too
" How can you just leave the house?" His father asked when he had seen him
" I couldn't sleep so I went out for a walk" he lied why feeling guilty about it " have you checked the CCTV camera dad?" He asked
" The police did but the culprit came really prepared and the camera didn't capture whoever it was clearly because the culprit went straight to the garage like they had it all planned" His dad said
" Do you have enemies or know who might want to threaten you?" One of the police asked him
" My dad has a lot of enemies" Holland responded
" We will try as much as possible to find the culprit" The police said to them before leaving.
" I will make sure whoever it was gets arrested" Mr Grey said before going inside
" What brought you here?" Holland asked Theo
" Your dad called me, he said I should find you that's why I am here" he responded
" Thank you for coming, why not sleepover here ; it's 1Am already" Holland said
" Actually I thought about that because I have something to tell you too, you might not believe me but I know where the culprit must have come from" Theo said.
Sunday 2am outside the school dorm ...
" You are late " Rebecca said to him when he had joined her on the bench
" Yeah, I was cleaning up the mess at my home" he responded
" Was it bad?" She asked
" Yes, someone messed with my dad. Damaged my father's most priced possession; his cars. I am guessing a student from these school" he said
" That's huge, should I be glad or sad? But how can a student come into the principals home and know exactly where the car garage is?" Rebecca curiously asked
" This might sound crazy but Theo said it was a game and the student was dared to do it. He said they did threaten him too" he told her
" That's all messed up, so how did he get away?" She asked
" By not playing" he responded
" Hmmm" Rebecca said nodding her head " who would believe that?" She asked not expecting a response
" What about you? Where you able to find what we are looking for?" He curiously asked her
Rebecca looked at him for some minutes
" Yes I did, and you wouldn't believe this" she told him
" What is it?" He asked really eager to know what it is
" Dr Leo is the only person who haven't been replaced in this school. He was a student of Grey's highschool fifteen years ago and the best outstanding student in science before going abroad on scholarship" she told him
" How come we never thought of him even though he is part of the school? I never thought of him" Holland said it's surprise
" The bigger news is that he returned back here 5years ago when they newly launched the school hospital. He is thirty two years of age" she said
" You said Matilda was depressed? Was she taking pills?" He asked her
" Yes, normally get them from the nearest hospital" she said. Holland and Rebecca quickly look at each other when they have thought of something
" She must have been visiting the school clinic for her pill" Holland said
" And Dr Leo is the doctor then" Rebecca responded
