The next day. Gibson enter the staffroom, he saw Elizabeth cry so badly, he know why she cry so much - because he fucking kill her boyfriend last night.

He hear the news this morning, a man kill in club, his case under police investigate Gibson approach the crowded.

"What's going on?"

"Lizzie boyfriend died last night in club inside the toilet, he must be drunk and chocked to death. I don't think someone had kill him - he died naturally."

Gibson nod, said. "How you so sure about it?"

"Well, he jobless."

"Does that count? maybe he loan mafia's money or something, we don't know. Like you said, he's jobless, need money - it count."

The teachers nod agree with Gibson thoughts, he knee down at Lizzie level, tapped her laps calming her down. Her face so red because she crying thinking over her useless boyfriend, he smile a bit then frowned, I must act normal so, she don't suspect me I'm the one who kill her useless boyfriend.

"Lizzie, calm down, it's okay."

She look up, saw his eyes, she melt in his stare. "I still think of him, Gibson. Who does this? why they kill him, what he had done."

"Maybe is time you have to let him go, Lizzie."

"Easy you to said, I know what he did behind me, he cheating on me - still I love him."

She wiped her tear back of her hand, Gibson hand her his handkerchief, she took it from his hand then wiped her tear, his handkerchief smell so good, why not her boyfriend have handkerchief like Gibson.

"Thank you."

He patted her side with smile. "Anytime. Everything is going to be fine, as you know without him - your life is perfectly fine. You don't need him anymore, Lizzie. Your successful, ambitious, beautiful woman that he so stupid leaving you with his wasting life."

Elizabeth suddenly laugh at his word, maybe he were right about her, also were right about Ritchie's, he so fuck!

"See, now we see your smile. Beauty, now, take your morning coffee, then get your ass out from this room and start your new life without him. I'm sure there's plenty man out there who waiting for you and make you as their wife - trust me."

He smile.

Lunch time, Emma and Belle usual sit under the tree, Emma read the news, shocking - she show the newspaper to Belle, her face almost kiss the paper.

"What about it?" She look down the paper. "What so special about it?"

"Have you read?" Belle nod yes. "You don't know?" Belle shake her head. "You joking, this dead man is Miss Lizzie boyfriend, this dude died inside the toilet."

"So, he must be knock off, then he slipped, and his head banged on the toilet sit."

"He drunk. He died in toilet club that makes him drunk or over drunk then died, on sink, whatever state he died."

Belle snort, she laid on the grass, slowly she close her eyes. Her mind think over Jake at hospital, still - he cannot walk to school. She miss him.

"This is insane, haven't you notice three dead body on row this weeks." ask Emma. Belle look at her. "First, is a divorced rich woman, second Jake, if he died fall on stairs." Belle jerked her eyes on hers. "I'm just saying if - and third, Miss Lizzie boyfriend."

Belle shrugged, as she continue. "Don't you think? all these dead are connection."

"To whom?"

"I don't know. Maybe the killer's think this might be it's hobbies, spending time by killing no one knows that. We never know the killer is a woman or a man."

Belle close her eyes again and exhaling. She doesn't want to know or trying to get clue about the murdered, something just not right the lady, Jake and Miss Lizzie boyfriend? all this are connection but why?

"You think about it aren't you, Belle?" Her eyes open again. "I bet all this murdered are connected but why Jake are on the killer list."

Belle shrugged, she know Gibson try to kill Jake by pushing him down the stairs, but why does had to do with those two?

"I don't know what to said, Mr. Gibson try to kill Jake." Emma leaned closer to her, shocked after she said that word, seriously he did what? "Is true."

"Belle I know you hate him, doesn't mean he try to kill Jake, you got no proof to drag him in."

"He - I mean he -"

"Stop. Enough, Jake is safe." She stop suddenly as her mind think, then spokes back. "He might be safe for now because he still in hospital with his family, but I don't see Mr. Gibson trying to kill Jake." She look Belle, "Because of you isn't it? all this makes sense, he try to kill Jake because of you, no - wait."

Belle scoffs, shaking her head. There's too much theory about Gibson and the murderer that involve, if Gibson try to kill Jake because of Belle, is true, because Gibson had crush on Belle since the beginning, then what kind of relationship between the other two dead?

"So is true then - well. You both must be careful, I still don't believe it he will do that." Emma reach Belle hand, their eyes are connect. "Belle, you know I love you right, if something happen to me, don't you forget that I will always with you."

Belle take her hand back, shocked after hear her word. "What you talking about?"

"Just in case, Belle. Who know if I died tonight, just remember that. I'm always with you." She smile.

Later, Gibson sit on his desk, alone, while other teachers are nowhere to be seen. Gibson joins a dating site where he gets a date with a woman named Lucy. He got his own plans, tonight they two go out to dinner and return to Lucy's apartment, he know she attempts to seduce him, because of his look and his delicious body, god I love my body then he strangles her to death, buried her body away from the city.

No one, I mean no one will found them.

Since his first attempt of killing, it like a new hobbies for him, kill, more kill and kill. He loves his new hobbies and all this because of Belle, she made him to do this, is all because of you my darling, you did this, my darling - soon we will be together after I kill your fucking boyfriend, then we moved to another country, changing our name and we begin our new life as husband and wife.

Smirking, in front of the computer chatting with Lucy's, he didn't notice as sudden Emma bursting inside the room foward his desk, he knew the smell, and that doesn't bother him to look up who standing beside his desk.

"What can I do for you, Miss Evigan. Such an hurried I see."

"Did you try to kill Jake Harley, Mr. Gibson?"

"Where do you hear that, Miss Evigan? what the reason I kill Mr. Harley if I ask."

She snort, crossing her arm on chest. "Jealous or rage, you saw them kiss on the dance floor, I saw you trying to push them apart, your friend stop you. I saw bruises on your face the next day and you two fighting?" silent, she ask him. "Now, I ask you, Mr. Gibson. Are you married or pretending you are."

"Bruises on my face does it count, Miss Evigan." He smile. "Interesting, of course I got bruises but doesn't mean I fight with my friends at the same day that day I found two of my student kissing, I don't care what they do."

He end his chat with Lucy, push the chair, he look down her. "When I got back home I didn't notice the floor is wet, because my wife didn't put any sign or anything, that's how I got my bruises, I almost lose my life - damn that floor."

Emma shake her head, she didn't believe any word out from his mouth, she know Gibson wasn't married nor a wife involve in his life, where she know about it? Oh, just trust her, she know everything.

Without arguing back, Emma turn her feet out from the room. She know about Gibson but she doesn't know what he know about her too. Smirking again, he watch her left the room.
