Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 62
Bailey came into the office a few mins later and sat down looking like the worst I’d ever seen him look “Smart girl…. Sorry young lady… now I just got a call from my buddy who is now on the case and says there’s been another note delivered to the prof. box but the person dropping them is the mail person and it’s just leading us in a circle. The latest note states that if you are not brought in on this case and solved in a few weeks they will kill again and this time they won’t just stop at one. The one thing that is not making since is that the other murders were spread out in about every 2 years or so and we are still not even sure if this is a local thing or if it’s multiple cities, countries, all that. So, I am not stupid that you have taken photos and have probably been working on it already so give me what you got” he demanded as he hated being stuck in anything he did. I had a few things to say but wasn’t sure if they were relevant but took him to my walk-in closet and moved my clothes to one side on the rack showing him what I had. He went wide eyed as he was now looking at my crime board and all I had which was a lot and even a few things I knew they had yet to figure out. Bailey dialed a number and spoke into it with what I had.
Monday came all to quickly with my life seeming to be that of someone who lived in a bubble and I was tired so tired of feeling like I was not in control again when I was taken to my first class which was that of Law and Justice along with a new professor who was a total cunt and it didn’t feel enjoyable anymore. Once the class was over the professor had asked me to come down to her table and talk. “Sorry to bother you but I have been noticing you are not all here when you are here, but your assignments and tests are fantastic so I guess my question is… is there something that isn’t interesting you any more about law and justice…. Are you having a hard time figuring things out?” her last comment struck me a little weird in the way she said it, but kept it in the back of my mind as a possibility of her knowing something more and the reason why she was actually there. Bailey came in looking for me when the Professor was about to say something else but stopped and watched him closely taking him in and looking as though she was sizing him up. “Ummm, Professor let me ask you something… when is Prof. Sheffield coming back?” I asked to see if it changed in her mood or anything. “I don’t know and don’t care since he’s a moron anyways and always has been before he even became a professor” her actions were that of someone who had a personal grudge or issue with the good professor and looking at me I could tell there was something more about her.
Bailey walked us out the back and to my next class and I scanned through all my pictures and other things I had put together and realized that the only reason this psycho would keep sending professor Sheffield the items would be if he had been on a case in previous years or that involved someone who died and that was the reason for the killings. “He’s too young…. The first case is almost or over 20 years old so it would have to be something deeper than just a case….or is he too young?” I asked myself. Once my final class was over and I had cleaned up from running tests on a body that had been donated to science just the day before I decided that getting straight home was what I needed to do. Bailey usually had to fight me tooth and nail to get me to get in the truck for the past couple of weeks but this time I was in need of getting home. “Ok let’s go chop-chop” I demanded, and Lola had my back door open so quickly and before anyone knew it tires were squealing from somewhere nearby. We all looked around and just as I was about to slide into the back a loud pop rang out and both Bailey and Lola jumped on top of me taking me to the ground and all I could remember was the pain that shook me to the core. I had blacked out and felt like I was floating above my body with my relatives protecting not only me but my team. I did not understand why they could see me as I was now outside my body and they were spirits. I realized they couldn’t see me because I had been jolted so quickly from my body that I got scared and must have been able to cloak myself even from them.
Bailey got up quickly while Lola stayed hovered over me until she felt wetness on her chest and finally looked down at me “FUCK….We need an ambulance…..BAILEY NOW” she yelled out and a second later Bailey had me in his arms and into the back of the truck while Lola took off driving following his directions as he was checking me over. “She’s got a pulse… it looks like a through and through… this goes no farther than the two of us and the team… her parents have enough to worry about. Bad enough this is going to be all over the news within mins and I’m sure someone got a good look at all this so we will have to come up with a plan” he was back to his bossy authoritative self. While I was still disconnected from my body and freaking out a little but finally calmed when my family was able to see me. “She actually did it…. took us a min to find you honey, but we felt you leave your body… it’s ok just happens and especially when something like this happens. Now we just have to make sure that you stay close to your body and don’t go trying to be a hero because now that you have been able to detach yourself from your physical body without actually moving your complete body we have to make sure that you can get back to your vessel. If you don’t you could be in this vegetative state, you see yourself in now” Zeus was proud, but also cautious now that I was using my powers.
Zeus was right staying close to my body is what needed to happen since whenever I tried just figuring out things while I was not capable of at the moment in the state I was in I felt like my body was going to shut down if I got more than 10-15 feet away from it. I got closer to my body and sat close and started talking and going over what had taken place what I had seen and the crime board I had made. I knew that the only way to finish my work was to wake up and I begged to know how as I was starting to feel trapped and not able to find a way out of it. I heard my mother’s voice coming from somewhere far crying and worried about me telling me she felt as though something happened. “Come on Mia I know you can hear me so fucking answer me…. I saw the segment that just came on about Oxford and a shooting happening. They say they know the victim but are not releasing any information” she was now yelling into the space that was so new to me she was finally breaking the barrier but only because she was in fear. I decided that answering her was what I needed to do but in a way that she wouldn’t worry and or cause something else to happen. “Mommy calm down… yes there was a gunman and I’m perfectly fine the team has me under-ground and safe… I promise just calm, down before you end up having my little brother ok. I need to go for now I’ll call you when I can so you can hear my voice and tell dad I’m ok too” I had used my most convincing voice even though I was unsure what was actually going to happen.
Bailey was in another room while Lola sat with me holding my hand and begging me to come back to them “You only have a few broken ribs and the shot was a through and through so there’s no reason for you to be out this long… the CT is still being processed but the Dr. is hopeful so come on I’m sure you are scared and that’s why you don’t want to wake up but I promise you are going to be ok” she whispered softly into my ear. I felt the fog come over me and was now being put on overdrive and the fog completely took over making it hard for me to concentrate on a single thing including the board that I’d finally gathered all the pieces and started to put them all together. I was doing my best not to panic as I felt rooted to the spot and not able to move about to help me clear the fog “DAMN IT…..” I yelled out and wanted to just wake up and get back to solving the case before someone else died. “It’s too late for that darling…..” my grandmother informed in a tone that made me shiver all the way to my bones. “Who…who please tell me no one that is a significant person in my life…” I cried out. “What is happening, what is her state as we speak right now…. come on tell me I need to know.. let me see her damn it…NO I’m not leaving and if I do, I’m calling her parents” I could hear Leona’s voice at a distance.
