Chapter 9 - chapter 9: unfolding

As we dust ourselves off i spoke with hesitation ''well...that was...''.

''Well...lets not speak...about this again...'', before Blake could finish i cut him off.

''what!...''.

''Look...i was upset...i...i don't want to use you like this''.

''B...b...but...i liked it''.

''That's the problem...i didn't want you thinking i liked you like that...i didn't want to destroy what we already have!''.

''But...you called me beautiful''.

''Yes...but...it's true, i call alot of women beautiful that doesn't mean i love them...or want to have sex wth them!''.

''B...bu''.

''Please...Rose...just forget it, we have limited time. We need to find out about you...that couple...this girl you keep seeing''.

I closed my eyes with sadness trying to fight back the tears but nodded to Blake in disappoitment.

The whole walk back home we didn't say a word to each other you could cut the tension with a knife, i don't know what's worser what's happenng between me and Blake...Blake's father...or the unfortunate news we might unfold at the morgue.

As we returned, i followed Blake into Anka's room.

''Why didn't you tell me or Tj about the seound fire?!''.

''It was updated today, i only found it while trying to explain to Rose'' Anika spoke while nearly jumping out of her chair.

''You...said you had to tell me something then the update was shown'' i said whle peering round Anika's door frame trying not to get stuck in thier confrontation.

''Any way...there's miscommunication somewere but...you two have a really big mission to do'' Anika pointed to both me and Blake after spinning back round on her chair to face her computer screen.

''So...what are we doing then?'' questioned Blake.

Anika shushed Blake, ''well...i'm going to find Tj'' Blake said awkwardly then after leaving the room.

I peered round the corner to check if Blake had gone into Tj's room before talking to Anika ''you were wrong Anika...Blake doesn't like me'' i spoke while sitting on her bed ending with a miserable sigh, she wizzed round in her chair ''why...did you two...like?'' she raised her eyebrow questioning me ''kind of...but after he told me not to talk about it''.

I stared at Anika desperate for advice, ''strange...oh...well'' she said once again spinning round to her screen.

''Okay...thi!'' before she could finish Blake came bolting round we both obviously jumped to Blake's reaction i shot up from the bed ''wh...what's up?''.

''Oh...nothing just wanted to tell you both Tj is really busy...'' before he could finish he knelt to catch hs breath.

''What...the...fuck Blake!...you scared the shit out of us!'' Anika bellowed at him.

''What's so important...Blake?!'' i cried at him.

''Oh...Tj is trying to hack into the police morgue files but...nothing''

''Yeah...i tried...okay what i was going to say to Rose!...before i got so rudely interrupted...you two need to break into the morgue...both me and Tj would disarm the alarms...that should gve you both about 10 to 15 minutes to find and get out...if you find something take a pic from your phone...so just in case they notice something missing''.

Me and Blake looked at each other baffled ''yeah sounds so doable!'' Blake said in a sarcastic tone.

''It is'' Anika spoke not understanding his sarcasm, ''what was the updated from the fire...can i see it?'' Blake questioned Anika and she smiled at him and wizzed round once again ''What!!..No!!..It's gone!'' each pause Anika yeslled louder.

I knelt down to get onto the computers level ''it was here i saw it too...could you see where it went?'' i questioned Anika.

''It got deleted!''

''By who?'' Blake questioned.

''B...by...Sally!''.

''If the second...well technically the first happened in 2005 how come the update only came on this year in 2006 when supposably they found out the cause and the person who did it...and get deleted...''.

What could Sally be hiding?.

''Guys this is ridiculous... Sally probably deleted it for a reason'' Tj spoke out of no were ''and any way the supposably first fire happened a year ago theres goig to be updates isn't there'' Tj continued to speak.

''Yeah...but what we're saying is...the first fire is so to be called solved so why do we need updates when the police have said they found found the girls and the person who did it'' i spoke up.

''That's...right but who said the police couldn't lie...maybe to please the town and make them feel safer...but we need to get cracking the first fire was last year and second one happened this year we don't know what could happen next year we've only got a short amount of time till then...we all have a plan now let's get started me and Anika know what to do let us know when the both of you are close by the morgue'' Tj said in a bossy manner.

We all knew exactly what to do Anika and Tj was both placed on their desks me and Blake got ready to set off to the moruge i thought quietly to myself what the hell have i got myself into Blake's pissed off with me and i have no clue to make it better, the best part is we're heading to a fucking moruge i wonder how many secrets we might unfold there?.

Me and Blake set off smiling awkwardly at each other, then set off i don't know how to explain this feeling i have a very uneasy feeling i don't know if its the tension between me and Blake or the secrets that lie beyond the morgue...but anyway i have a huge bad feeling about this i can already feel the vibration run though me i hope we just can get in and out easy right?.
