Chapter 160: The Autosy II.

Taros slipped out through the back door and ran until he caught up with the others. When they finally got far enough from the staff quarters, they stopped to wait for Slade. Taros tried calling him but he didn’t answer.

"I told you he wasn’t reliable," Hailey said with a roll of her eyes, folding her arms across her chest. No matter what the others said, she never liked Slade.

"He just saved us a few minutes ago," Alex reminded her, as if she had already forgotten. But Hailey only shrugged.

"Thank goodness you’re a girl," Alex went on. "You’ll leave for your school once we’re done with this investigation."

Hailey’s eyes widened in surprise. "Hey Alex, be nice." She hadn’t expected him to sound so ready to get rid of her.

"I don’t enjoy your company," Alex said coldly. "I wish I never traded places with Stales."

Her face fell at his words. She bit her lip and turned away, sadness in her steps as she walked off.

"You didn’t have to say that," Taros muttered, shaking his head. "You should be nicer." His phone beeped then, a message from Slade saying he had gone to handle something that came up at the dormitory. Principal Valois had gone to check on Kaito. Taros called them together.

"Slade just sent a message," he said once they all gathered. "And there’s something else. He said the autopsy result is ready."

The news made them all uneasy.

"We need to go to the school hospital first," Taros added.

"Why are we going there?" Hailey asked, still sounding confused.

"To find out about the report," Alex answered firmly.
