10 Years Back

"Okay so we have three areas to cover, The classrooms in the left wing, the ones in the right wing and the small building behind the playground. We are six, so two people will take every area. Who wants what?" Nick was good at planning so took the initiative to divide work amongst themselves.

​​

"I'll take the right wing." Rachel volunteered first.

"Yeah and I'll join you" Kate added.

"Cool - Right wing: Rachel and Kate" Nick noted it down.

"Me and Emily will clean the small building behind the playground." Patrick announced.

The other four were smiling knowingly.

"Guys please control yourselves, it is weird to have sex at a place where we study." Matt teased the two.

The other three laughed at Matt's words, Patrick was unaffected as he was habituated to this behavior of Matt, "No Matt it is not weird at all, you too should try once." Emily teased him back.

Other four just laughed as they were used to this banter between Emily and Matt as they were the closest to each other. Matt too laughed at Emily's words, he really loved teasing and getting teased by her.

"So Matt, you and I will be cleaning the left wing." Nick declared and everyone went to the areas that got assigned to them.

Nick and Matt were cleaning the classrooms and after some time they decided to clean the washroom, when they almost reached the washroom they heard a male voice, they got surprised as except for these six no one was supposed to be in the school premises, having a bad hunch they signaled each other to keep calm and stayed outside, eavesdropping on the conversation.

"I have been following her and I took note of her schedule that Rachel is finally with a girl now, today it would be easier to attack her."

Then he paused, probably listening to what the other side was saying, then he again spoke, "Okay if something happens I won't hesitate to kill the girl with her."

Matt got really scared hearing these words and Nick was very angry as Kate was with the girl with Rachel, Nick and Matt just looked at each other, Nick signaled him and these two stood on the either side of the entrance and as soon as the man from the washroom came out he first saw Matt and Nick attacked him from behind and pushed him forward, startled the man fell forward and Nick quickly jumped on him and held him down. The guy tried to struggle to get out of his hold but Matt held his hands, Nick sat on the man's back.

"Nick what should we do?" Matt was worried.

"Go and call for help." Nick ordered.

"No, I can't leave you alone with him." Matt disagreed with Nick's suggestion.

"Matt, please go and get help." Nick shouted as he was running out of patience.

Matt quickly ran towards the small building behind to get Patrick but just on the way he saw Patrick running towards him.

"Did you see the new watchman anywhere?" Patrick looked worried and hurriedly asked Matt.

"He is over there, me and Nick attacked on him, come fast Nick is dealing with him all alone." Matt quickly answered, the two rushed towards Nick.

The man in the washroom who was planning to attack Rachel was this new watchman Patrick was searching for.

.....

Few minutes before Matt and Patrick met

Emily and Patrick were cleaning the rooms in the small building, Patrick was done early so he went to help Emily. She let him do her work and she went and sat on the table and was observing him work.

Patrick bent down to remove the stuff lying around and Emily was checking out his amazing body from behind. Patrick had already been training himself rigorously as he was sure he wanted to join the police department and for that physique was very important so he works out regularly.

"Like what you see?" Patrick asked, still working and his back facing her.

Emily chuckled at his words, "I love what I am seeing." she flirted with him.

Patrick smiled at her words but she couldn't see his smile as he was facing the other side but she knew he must be smiling, she then went towards him and hugged him from behind.

"Matt warned us not to have sex here, remember?" Patrick joked with her.

"As if we take his warning seriously, Pat should we really do it here?" Emily blushed saying these words.

"No, I can't let our first time be at a shabby place like this." Patrick seriously answered her question.

"Oh god Pat, I was kidding." Emily laughed at his lack of sense of humour and stepped back to go back to the table and she suddenly shouted in panic.

"What happened?" Patrick turned around and looked worriedly at her.

Emily looked very scared and pointed towards the foot of the table, there was a dead rat lying there.

Patrick chuckled at her and said, "You want to be an autopsy doctor in future and you are scared of dead rats? What will you do when you will see actual human dead bodies?" he lovingly patted her on the head.

"I'll deal with that later but this rat looks so disgusting."

"Let's go and call the watchman." Patrick suggested

Then they came out and went to the spot where the new watchman sits but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Where the hell is he? There is no watchman here that is so ridiculous" Emily got very annoyed.

Something struck Patrick and he got worried, "Ems be safe and quickly call the police." Patrick instructed her.

"Umm aren't you overreacting? He might have gone to the washroom." Emily was confused.

"Just do as I say and be safe." saying this Patrick quickly headed towards the right wing where Rachel is, he had an intuition that Rachel is not safe as he saw the watchman observing Rachel in the past few days, to go to the right wing he has to pass through the left wing and cross it on the way he saw Matt who was running in a hurry and looked scared.

…

Patrick and Matt quickly went to Nick and what they saw made them worried.

Nick and the watchman were fighting.

The watchman took out a slick knife to attack on Nick and just then Patrick rushed towards him and held his wrist and twisted it and kicked him on the back of his leg. The watchman fell down on his one knee, Patrick kicked him similarly on his other leg and the attacker was now kneeling in front of him, Patrick twisted his left arm and held it behind him, now Patrick was holding both his hands and got full control over him, just then Emily too rushed there and informed him that the cops were on the way.

Nick and Matt too came there to hold the watchman tightly who was struggling to get off Patrick's hold, Emily more or less understood the situation so she stood tensely at one side.

The cops reached the school in 15 minutes and when they came they saw the three boys holding the watchman.

"Who called us?"

Emily quickly approached the cops, "It was me."

"What happened here?"

"Sir, this watchman is planning to kill one of our friends." Matt answered the cop's question.

"Okay leave him" the main cop ordered the three high school kids and signaled his other men to hold the watchman.

The moment Patrick let go off his hands, the watchman quickly took a medicine from his pants pocket and ate it. Before anyone could process what was happening the watchman lay on the floor dead with a white liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The cops quickly went towards him to understand what happened but it was too late.

Rachel and Kate were cleaning the right wing unaware of what conspired in the school.

Cops then questioned these four people and since everything happened right in front of them they knew these four were not at fault. Patrick called James after knowing from Matt and Nick that the man was planning to attack Rachel.

James quickly came to the school and as he knew these cops beforehand he had a word with them and the case was dismissed, they all decided to never let Rachel know of what happened here and by the time she was done with her cleaning, the crime scene was cleared, everything happened in front of the cops and there were so many witnesses so it didn't take long to clear out what happened and James managed to take her away from school without letting her know of anything.

Later the cops reached a dead-end as they were not able to track the identity of this watchman, it was like he never existed.

James then used his sources to find more information but something happened due to which he realized Rachel is not safe here and that's when he had to make the hard decision of sending her away to the US.

Kate and Rachel were the only two people who were unaware of everything even today.
