One More Night

Jake and Nicole did not catch up with the student and when they returned to the man he was talking to he was gone and left.

They failed again, so they just went back to their dorm.

The next day they went to the Principal’s Office to inform Nicole of what was known for the investigation into Jane’s death. They knocked on the office door and slowly opened the door.

“Good morning Ma’am.” greetings from both of them.

“Good morning, take a seat.” Mrs. Gomez replied.

Then they approached and sat down on the chair.

“What do you need?” Mrs. Gomez asked.

“Well, Nicole mentioned something to me yesterday; it was about Jane’s case. She told me that someone had handed her a letter sending her to the rooftop. And it contained my name, but I did not give her any letter. So, we thought that maybe the one who gave her the letter knew the woman who hurt Nicole and Jane and maybe he also knew something.” Said Jake.

“You’re right, maybe he’s with her.” Said Mrs. Gomez.

“Well, yesterday we came here to you but you left, and unexpectedly we saw that man who gave me a letter, there in the hallway.” Said Nicole.

“What?! So did you talk to him?” Mrs. Gomez asked.

“That is the problem, he suddenly ran when we approached him yesterday. We tried to chase him but we failed and we did not catch up with him.” Said Jake.

“We would like to ask you if we can see the cctv.” Said Nicole.

“Of course, come and I will accompany you and I will call the teachers as well, so we can find out which student you are talking about.” Said Mrs. Gomez.

“Thank you Maam.” Said Jake.

Then the Principal announced to the teachers that there was an important meeting and they immediately went and responded to what their Principal said.

“I called you today for what I have to say, it was about the death of the student. We think he may be an accomplice or someone who knows what happened. What I will show you in the clip is the male student who gave Nicole the letter, take a good look and maybe you know him or your student.” said Mrs. Gomez while showing the man in the CCTV video.

The teachers watched the video carefully and later a teacher raised her hand.

“Maam, that is my student. Mr. Eric Hu.” The teacher said.

“Well, can you call him here now?” asked the Principal.

“Unfortunately, he did not enter today.” The teacher said.

“Well, go to their house right now and bring the police to investigate him thoroughly, before he escapes. If he does nothing wrong, he does not have to hide or be afraid. So, I order you to go to his house immediately.” Principal’s order.

“Okay Ma’am, let’s go.” Teacher said.

Nicole and Jake went to Eric’s house and also accompanied two policemen who were investigating Jane’s case.

However, a few minutes after they knocked on the door, he did not open the door. The police asked Eric to open the door.

“Mister Eric Hu, please open the door, we will just ask you something.” Said their teacher.

But Eric did not answer and still did not open the door.

“Mister Eric Hu, please open the door, otherwise we will break it.” The police said.

Eric was frightened to hear the voice of the police. He immediately opened the door and saw his adviser, two policemen and Nicole and Jake standing at the door.

“Good morning, what do you need?” Eric asked.

“Good morning Eric, can we talk to you for a moment? Are your parents there?” asked their Teacher.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He sighed, “No Maam, they went to work.”

“Can we come in? Don’t be afraid, we just have to ask you something.” Said his teacher.

“All right Maam, come in.” said Eric, as he could do nothing about the situation.

Nicole and the teacher sat in the small chair and the men with them just stood on the side. When Eric sat down, his teacher asked him.

“Eric, why are you absent today?” his teacher asked.

“Ah, I feel bad Maam, I’m sorry if I didn’t get in.” Said Eric.

“Is that so, I just want to ask you, do you know Nicole?” his teacher asked and he looked at Nicole.

He swallowed before saying, “No Maam.”

Nicole was surprised by his answer.

“Eric, don’t lie! You know me, you gave me a letter, remember?” said Nicole.

Eric did not answer and remained bent over. His teacher held his hand.

“Eric, tell me the truth, if you know anything. Whose letter did you give to Nicole?” his teacher asked.

It was a long time before Eric could answer, so the police spoke.

“If you do not speak to Eric, you will be the one who suffers the case and you will be the suspect in Jane’s death because you didn’t say what you know.” Said a policeman.

“Maam, I don’t want to go to jail.” Afraid Eric told his teacher.

“So, tell us what you know,” said his teacher.

“Maam, I just ordered.” Eric replied.

“Who ordered you?” Nicole asked.

Eric thought for a moment before answering.

“She just ordered me, it’s A-Amy.” Eric replied.

“What?! Amy?!” shocked Nicole said.

“Are you sure what you said Eric?” Jake asked him.

“Yes, I am sure. I told you the truth, that day, while I was going to the locker Amy told me that I should give you the letter and she gave me a thousand. I also wondered, why did he give me money, I just accepted. I didn’t know that Amy had a bad plan for you. I also feel guilty for what I did, because I am the reason why you went to the rooftop, I should not have just given you that letter.” Crying says Eric.

“So, you mean, Amy is the woman in the mask and Jane and I tried to kill?” Nicole assured.

“Yes, she is. I’m so sorry, I was also afraid to say what I know, and also sorry for Jane’s death.” Crying says Eric.

Nicole couldn’t believe what she found out that Amy could kill, she just cried. Jake approached her and hugged her.

“Amy is so bad, she will pay for Jane’s death.” Nicole said angrily.

Their teacher took a deep breath and asked the police.

“Officer, what is our next step now that we already know who the suspect is?” their teacher asked.

“I will tell the police stationed by the school and I will tell them to arrest this suspect.” said the police and then immediately reported it to the police at the school.

Then they still took Eric to the precinct and he gave a statement and waited for Amy to arrive.

Meanwhile, at the school, the police immediately spoke to the Principal and informed her of what had happened and what they found out.

They immediately went to Amy’s room, while Mr. Reyes was teaching the Principal knocked and he came out.

When Mr. Reyes saw that the Principal was knocking, he immediately opened it.

“Hi Maam.” greet by Mr. Reyes.

“Mr. Reyes, can you ask Amy Chu to get out, I’ll just tell her something.” Said the Principal.

Even though Mr. Reyes was surprised because Mrs. Gomez was with the police men, he still obeyed the order.

“Yes ma’am.” Then he went inside again and called Amy Chu.

“Miss Amy Chu, go out first and the Principal will tell you something.” Said Mr. Reyes.

Everyone fell silent and the whole class looked at Amy.

Amy was surprised and nervous; she slowly got up and went out the door. She saw the Principal and four policemen.

The police immediately approached Amy Chu and immediately handcuffed her.

“Miss Amy Chu?” assurance of a female police officer.

Amy nodded, “Yes?” Amy wondered.

She was immediately handcuffed.

“Wait, why are you handcuffing me? Ma’am?!” Amy shouted.

And her teacher and her classmates approached.

“We just received some information about you and we will invite you to the precinct.” Police said.

“What?! I did not do anything! Let me go!” Amy shouted at the police.

“Amy, please be quiet, the students will look at you more.” Discipline of her Principal.

“But Maam, this is not right.” Said Amy.

“This is the right way Amy, so you cannot escape. Just go with them properly so that there is no problem.” Said the Principal.

She thinks that she can’t do anything but obey.

“Yes Ma’am, but please call my parents.” Amy said, crying.

“We will.” Principal’s answer.

Then Amy came along and as she walked she bent down because she did not want to see the students looking at her. She did not expect it to happen to her and she would be caught right away.

She was crying when she arrived at the precinct and she saw Nicole and Jake there, Nicole immediately greeted her with a loud slap.

“There, for Jane! And this is for me.” She slapped Amy once again.

Amy’s cheeks immediately turned red. And Nicole looked at her so badly.

“You so bad Amy! I hope you will regret this!” said Nicole.

“I don’t do anything!” Amy said.

“You are such a liar! You will go to jail for what you did to us!” Nicole yelled at her.

After that the police investigation proceeded.
