I'll never tell....
No need to be snippy....
I was reeling from what we had just learned. The mental ward was a murder hot-spot. Officer Jones was the Ex-warden's son. "Evil Evie" was said to still live in the deserted hospital...
None of us had spoken since we left the ranger station. I looked up and noticed we were nearly back at the camp, and the guys were pacing by the entrance. Jimmy and Brian hadn't seen them, they still seemed as shocked as I was.
After finally seeing us approaching, Zacky and Johhny walked fast-paced out to meet us, and I shook my stormy thoughts away.
"What happened?" They questioned immediately.
"It's... it's a, like....." I stuttered. They motioned for me to go on but I only shook my head.
"I'll tell you after I figure it out myself." Jimmy and Johhny still hadn't acknowledged them, they just trudged by as if they were hypnotized. Upon the others sending me strange glances, I patted their shoulders and gently nudged them forward.
The girls nearly knocked us over with their greeting, and the pine and old coconut smell from Val's hair relaxed me a little. I breathed it in deep and sighed, momentarily forgetting about what all we had been told. But alas; it was not to last.
"Did you learn anything about the hospital?"
"Oh yeah... we learned more than we should've."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I wrapped my arms around her and chuckled lightly.
"I'll tell you at dinner time."
~~~~~Dinnertime~~~~~
"So that's it. Crazy patients, killing sprees, and all." I finally finished my tale. Everyone who didn't know about the asylum's history before now pushed their plates away, cleared or not.
"Why did she kill everyone, Matt? And... where did she go?"
"How the fuck would I know!?" I snapped at Val, unable to keep the frustration out if my voice. This whole asylum thing had me on edge...
"No need to be snippy." I ran a hand through my longish hair, angry at myself for yelling at my girlfriend. 'Sorry' I mouthed and she simply nodded before looking away. Leana's voice abruptly interrupted my melancholy thoughts.
"Is that really everything to it though?" We all stared in confusion at her skeptical words. Everything to it?
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... Isn't it just a little fishy? A girl randomly murders everyone, then disappears? I know she was supposedly more dangerous and fucked up, but..... There just has to be more to that story!"
I have to hand it to Leana; she digs a lot deeper into info that's given to her. None of us had thought about that, that something else could have caused Evil Evie's outburst.
I remembered Stanley's words: You shouldn't overthink this. It's a tale to scare children with...
"Guys, we shouldn't even worry about this. Stanley said he would take care of it, so there's no need to even think about it anymore. Its none of our business anyways!" Leana shot up at my words, anger written all over her face.
She pointed an accusing finger at me and hissed;
"It IS our business Sanders! We have a deserted murder scene in our backyard and you say we shouldn't WORRY? I say we should... In fact, we should study into this!"
"Study? We aren't near computers babe." Jimmy snickered.
"Dumbass! Not computer study.... On-the-scene study, investigation! Let's find the real reason behind the Jone's Asylum Massacre!" I gave her a hard look at her choice of a name, but she ignored it. Her voice was full of conviction, and to my horror, everyone seemed to appeal to the idea.
"No, no, no," I jumped up too, desperate to turn the tides back around, "We were basically told to fuck off and leave this alone, and you suggest exploration? What if there are dead bodies everywhere, or it smells like shit? I don't know about you guys, but my nose is sensitive!"
"What is it Sanders? Can't handle a little gore? I thought you laughed at stuff like bestgore.com and the death of babies? What happened to tough guy Matthew? Michelle had joined Leana's campaign and now they were both smirking at me, hands planted on hips, full well knowing they were going to win this battle.
I stuttered uselessly as Zacky, Gena, Johhny, and Jimmy all stood up by Leana's side, contributing to her tyrannical speech. I gaped as even Val stood up, sending me an apologetic smile.
"Come on Matt; where's your sense of adventure? We came here to unwind and have fun! What better way to do that than a fun emprise amongst friends?" I rubbed my temples and remained on the ground, comparing the pros to the cons of this endearment of theirs.
"Fine." I whispered exasperated, though my blood had begun to pump faster in anticipation., "Let's go uncover the truth of the Jones Asylum Massacre." Everyone suddenly exploded in cheers and claps, hugging or patting me encouragingly.
I was the only one with a sense of dread about this exploration. Whatever we were going to find, it wasn't going to be good... Was I the only one who could see that?
