"Okay, what are we looking for here?" Levi was scanning the massive library and glaring up at the sixty foot ceiling. "This library is humongous."
"I know right." I wasn't really paying attention to him, I was looking for the computers.
"If you are going to look something up, why don't you just do it on your laptop?"
"Didn't you hear? Barley chewed off half of my keyboard. So I have to buy another one, probably next week or so. And my dad well I don't want him to wonder why I am using his computer, he will probably be nosey."
"Oh so, again I ask, what are you looking for?" He looked at me his beautiful eyes gazing on mine.
"Umm, I am looking for information on Mr. Flooks, and Mr. Benson. Something doesn't sit right with me, for either of them. You know Mr. Benson slapped the crap out of his wife the day his daughter was found? She accused him of cheating, well actually she said something else. Where are you going back to your little whore?" He looked at me his face was in awe and his mouth wide open.
"I was wondering why he was no where in sight. I thought maybe he was out of town, I don't know what I thought?" He pointed towards the computers and then pulled my chair out for me. While he was looking stuff up for Jackson Benson, I was looking stuff up for Tucker Flooks. I had my debit card with me so I could pull up a background check.
"Why spend money? I mean can't your brother just do one himself?"
"See, I thought about that but my brother, is a freaking big mouth! He couldn't keep a secret even if I sewed his mouth shut."
"Oh, your brother doesn't really seem that annoying. Like you say he is. I remember when him and I used to play football together, oh those were the good days."
"Yeah, right okay. Okay so the only thing that I am pulling up here is that Mr. Flooks has two counts of misdemeanor, one count of assault on a police officer, and he spent a month in jail for harrassment against a Mr. Jackson Hank Benson!" It all made sense now! No wonder, Mr. Benson was so cold towards Mr. Flooks. Go to hell? Wow, I couldn't process it fast enough.
"Okay, so that is one happy family let me tell ya. Alright, Mr. Benson has nothing really. However, it says here that he was assaulted last February with laserations on his face, a broken arm, and burn marks on his back."
"That makes sense! It all freaking makes sense-"
The librarian cut me off with a SHHHH! I thought to myself, stupid hag.
"Anyways, before I was rudely interuppted. Last February when the Benson's had that big party for Blair, because it was her birthday, well Mrs. Benson told my mom that Mr. Benson fell off his motorcycle. I have never known Mr. Benson to have one of those, or even the skill. I just thought it was true! This makes so much sense! Oh, I hope that S.O.B says something to me!"
"Who?"
"Flooks!" Levi rolled his eyes, and exitted the internet.
As we left the library ten minutes later I was so educated on their history, I just wanted to ask either one of them what it was about?
"So, this morning when I got back from my jog around SilentWoods, well Mr. Benson talked to me. Told me to tell Mrs. Benson he loved her and was sorry, and also told me to tell Tucker Flooks to go to hell?"
"What'd you say?" Levi was driving now, back to my house.
"I told him to tell them himselves, that, that was the coward way out."
"You have some balls." I looked at him with a sour face.
"What?"
"I mean guts, sorry it is the army lingo."
"Are you sure it is not the Dane Sandone lingo?"
"That too."
"Anyways, then he said that he should've listened to my Dad when they had that big fight? Oh! Also, the night Blair was found while my mother comforted Mrs. Benson my dad wouldn't even go console his friend, said it wasn't his place or something like that? Like I thought they were bestfriends? My dad just went in the house and fell asleep? I though something was funny about him?"
"Wow, it is funny how you catch every detail. That is alot to take in."
"Sorry, it is just I had to get it out, ya know?"
"Umm, yes I do." We pulled into my drive, but only my mom's car was in the driveway. I guess my dad went to work? Or HomeDepot? He cant stay away from there.
