CHAPTER 51

"Elena, I think Bonnie just sent me a message. She's been communicating to me. The killer has just one bullet in his gun and I think Logan's office is sound proof else he might have heard the gunshots that killed the security men. And I think the killer knows about it that's why he took advantage of it" Laura explained
"I just got a message from an unknown number. It says Ç. H. Í. P. L. À. Ú. R. À" Laura told Elena.
"That's strange. But the message looks familiar" Elena said.
"What if it's CHIP LAURA?" Elena added as Laura got the message immediately.
"I think I've gotten what Bonnie is trying to tell me. I can locate the killer through her by tracking the chip in her teeth" Laura screamed excitedly.
"Whoa! That kid is a genius!" Alex said.
"I'm tracking the chip now" Laura smiled.
"Thanks Bonnie" she muttered to herself.
"Guys, they are heading to the staff Office" Laura told them after operating on the system.
"He's going for Logan" Alex said.
Elena and Laura checked the map as they started tracing the office.
*.
The killer got to the office as he knocked on it.
"Who's there?" He asked from inside.
"Elizabeth, your niece" Bonnie said.
"What? When did you arrive Mystic Hollow? And I don't remember your mom calling to tell you would be coming over" He said standing up as he walked to the door.
"She said it was a surprise" she added as he opened the door, seeing a strange girl and a man on mask pointing a gun right at him.
They both entered the room as the killer locked the door.
Logan raised his hands up as he glanced at Bonnie whom the killer pushed away as she hit the chairs there making her grunt out of pain.
"Give me your gun" he yelled at him as he searched his drawer looking for his gun. The killer kept pointing the gun at this head. This story is written by Naomi Innocent.
Peter who had sneaked into the Office in disguise of a coffee man switched off the light in the room as everywhere became pitch dark.
Nothing could be seen in the room except the blue mask the killer wore.
"Shit!" He yelled as he pointed into space, not knowing what to do.

Laura dialed a number as the recipient took at the first ring.
"Good day sir, I call to state the casualty at Mystic Hollow Central Bank. There is a fire outbreak there" Laura said.
"Someone called stating it was a false alarm. We got the signal"
"What? And you didn't bother to come verify? There's a damn fire outbreak out here!"
"Thanks young lady. We'll be on our way" the recipient said finding truth in what she said.
Immediately she ended the call, she called 911.
"Damn these people!"
Elena and Alex got to the door as they started banging on it, but it was locked.
Peter could see the blue mask, so he dived at him, making the gun fall from his hand.
"Bonnie, hide" he yelled as he started punching the killer on his stomach. He stumbled him over and started landing punches on Peter's face.
Peter struggled and remove his mask, he punched Peter and tried to take it back from him but he wouldn't let go.
"Bonnie! Switch on the light!" He screamed.
"I don't know where it is!" Bonnie said peering round the dark room.
"I do" Logan said trying to trace the switch in darkness as the killer let go of the mask.
He wore his hoodie and ran towards the door, opening it, he hit Elena and Alex down at the door and ran.
"That's him" Alex yelled chasing after him as he raced straight to the rest room. (Written by Naomi Innocent)
The cafe was burning down as it was climbing to the lobby.
The firemen were outside already rushing in.
Logan had switched the light on as Elena went to hug Bonnie.
"Are you ok?" She asked squatting beside her as she hugged her after removing her mask.
"Do I have a choice?" She replied.
"The building is on fire, we have to get out now!" Peter said carrying Bonnie as they found their way out of the building.
The lobby was on fire already and the desk officer was no where to be found.
The firemen went to rescue them as they tried to put out the fire too.
"Is there any one still outside?" He asked as the blaring of siren was heard.
"Yes, Alex, our friend" Peter said dropping Bonnie.
"Ok" he said as they went back inside.
The sheriff came down from her car before her team arrived.
"Elena! What are you doing here?" She asked half yelling.
"You have lots of explanations to do young lady" she said.
"Is everyone okay?" She asked as Vera went to take report from the people outside.
The firemen came outside with Alex who's face was black because of the fire and heat.
Bonnie and his friends ran to hug him.
"Laura, everyone's ok now" Elena said as they hugged each other.
"Oh thank God" she relaxed back on her chair.
"Are you ok? Does anywhere hurt?" Peter asked Alex who shook his head. He seemed not happy at all.
"Is anything the matter?" Elena asked as he just shook his head negatively.
Peter walked to the sheriff and handed the face mask of the killer to her as she smiled.
"We've gotten something that belongs to the killer" she said as Mansion and vera walked up to her.
"I'm giving you this because I don't trust any of them just as you don't trust them too" Peter said as she nodded.
"You did a great job son" she said taking it from him as she handed it over to Vera.
"I want you to take that to the med lab technician, let them check for the DNA samples they can find" she said to Vera who took it while puting on a glove.
"It's a nice thing you wore a glove" she said to Peter who nodded.
Vera entered the van with Manson as they left, leaving just Kate and the Sheriff there.
"Elena, a word please" she said as Elena followed her to a corner.
"What's all this about?" She asked folding her arms.
"Well, you never wanted to listen to me, so I had to do it myself. We managed to save someone" she said.
"We? Who are they?" She asked.
"My friends" Elena added.
"Do you know you kids are risking your lives?" She asked Elena who was adamant.
"At least, we are risking our lives for the safety of the people in MYSTIC
HOLLOW" Elena hurled.
"Elena" her mom called her as she looked up at her.
"I'm proud of you" her mom said hugging her which made Elena shone her eyes in surprise.
But she was still bothered because none of them got hurt but Sarah said someone would get hurt, what does she mean by that?
Kate was talking to Mr. Logan who still seem scared of what just happened.
"Do you know of anyone that might have an issue with you, secretly or the one you know of" She asked him as he wore a worried expression.
"Mr. Logan?" She asked because he seemed worried and deep in thought.
"I know who. And I'm going to take my revenge" he muttered to himself and walked away as Kate was trying to talk to him but he wouldn't spill.
"Let him be, I think he is in shock. We'll talk to him later when his tension is down" Sheriff Ruth walked up and patted Kate's back. They both watched him leave as he scratched his hair in a frustrated manner.
*.
Kate, Vera, Crane and Sheriff Ruth were inside the police station while they talked about the Mayor and Logan that had a fight some days ago.
"He said he knows who did it and he's gonna have his revenge" Kate said. Seemed she heard what he said.
"Did he say who did it?" Crane asked.
"He wouldn't spill" she added
"I'm going to check on the med lab technician and Masion, they're taking too long" Vera said walking away towards that ward.
"This time, the killer left a trace. We have his mask" Ruth said as Kate nodded.
"That's why I didn't bother Logan about the killer. I knew we have proof now" Kate chipped in.
Vera ran towards them while panting.
"The mask is gone, Manson and the med lab technician are dead" Vera said to the dismay of everyone.
