* Christina Tucker *
Christina watched as Alice hurried away, hoping, praying, that Miss Amelia wouldn't be waiting at her office door, trapping Alice like a deer in a net. Sighing, she picked up her Family Tree sheet and scanned it once more, trying to figure out the significance of Dean Shorts. Dean Shorts, Dean Shorts... Christina thought back to her early memory of her parents talking in the kitchen, and then tried to piece the pieces back together. Her father had said something of murder, of a young child left with no parents... Could that be Amelia? Could Amelia be taking out her anger, getting her revenge through the lives of her students, students that had nothing to do with the murder, if that was what it was, to do with the heartbreak she had gone through? Wow. That woman was even more twisted then Christina Tucker thought.

* Christina Tucker * Christina sighed, wondering if her new friend was alright. Was she able to get the files back easily enough? Did Amelia- gulp- suspect anything? She kicked her legs back and forth and waited patiently, picking at the corner of her Family Tree sheet and thinking of reasons for the Test.

She typed in the search box, her fingers moving, almost dancing over the keys with excitement. A long list pulled up, and she clicked the top link, which led her to a Wikipedia article. Dean Shorts, his name, written in bold red letters across the top. She leaned closer to the screen, pulling it out so Alice could see. Underneath was a paragraph labeled, History, under that, Family, not so unusual to start. But as she continued to scroll down the page, she found something that caught her eye. Under Family was a paragraph and under that a list, labeled Crimes. She decided to start reading there.

((HORRIBLE WRITERS BLOCK >.<))
As she was chomping down on a Ceder Lakes Chocolate Granola Bar, she glanced to the left from where she was lying on her bed, and saw the clock. It read close to 10 PM. Strange that the headmistress would not question their illness, but Christina let it slide. She said, " We should head down. Lights out is in a few minutes or so. I think..." Christina cocked her head to the side, wondering about the flashlights that were supposed to be somewhere in the room, there if the power went out in a storm. " I think there are flashlights.... In the cupboard!" She jumped up and ran over to the cubby on the wall, reaching in and pulling out a single blue flashlight. Clicking it on, she grinned once again, excited to find out more information. Whether she was breaking the rules or not.
Lights Out!
Alice scurried over to where Christina got her flashlight, and she reached in and grabbed an orange one. "Let's roll." she said and slowly and silently opened the door, acting like a spy and put her back to the frame, and slowly craned her neck around to look outside and then darted to the far wall with a slight giggle. This would be quite interesting.
The library was on the first floor, unconvinently located across from Miss Amelia's office, probably so she could make sure that nobody was making out on a table or drawing in the books located in the ancient history section of the library.
She turned to wait for Alice.

" Okay." She turned serious again. " The library, sadly, is located across from Miss Amelia's office, so we have to be extra quiet." She whispered, putting one finger to her lips.
" Come on." She turned and walked quickly down the stairs, looking back at the landing for Alice to join her. The hallway was a dark mass, with a faint outline of several doors on either side of the hall. The one at the end, of course, was Miss Amelia's.
