Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1710

Lauren's pencils fell to the floor as she flinched in shock.

She then saw a human body fall outside the window, followed by a loud slam.

Lauren immediately rose from her chair, her body strung tight. She sheepishly walked over to thewindow and looked downstairs.

Her mind went blank in an instant. She clasped her mouth in fright and stumbled backward, legsbeginning to quiver.

A woman had fallen off the building and was lying dead on the ground outside.

Panic ensued just then as screams of terror rang out from downstairs.

Lauren's heart pounded heavily in her chest. She grabbed her teddy bear and promptly ran out ofthe classroom, not even bothering to pack anything else.

"Angie... Angie, where are you?" Lauren cried as she ran through the hallways. The image of thedead woman had branded itself into her mind.

After running to who-knows-where, there came frantic footsteps from behind Lauren, followed bypanicked wails.

"Help! Someone has been murdered! Help!"

Murdered?

Lauren turned around in shock. Two male students were running frantically in her direction.Behind them was a middle-aged man drenched in blood with a cleaver in one hand.

Lauren was rooted to the spot in fright, hugging her teddy bear tight.

"Bastards! I'll kill all of you!" the man roared viciously, raising his blade in the air and aiming it rightat the male students.

Lauren took a fearful step back.

Just then, one of the students grabbed her arm and dragged her over to shield himself from theknife's blow.

"Ah!" Lauren slammed right into the man as her teddy bear dropped to the floor.

The two cruel students had already run off by then.

The man was about to shove Lauren away when police sirens blared from outside the window."H-Help me!" Lauren shrieked before the man grabbed her by the shoulder and pressed his knifeagainst her neck.

"Shut up and follow me if you still want to live!" he barked.

All the students had run out of the building in fright as the killer was on the loose.

Many onlookers crowded outside the building. The police had to stop them from going past thesafety tape, creating quite a chaotic scene.

There were even reporters eager to get tomorrow's headlines right away!

"What's the situation right now?" Cyrus asked, going past the safety tape and heading into thebuilding.

"Chief Cyrus, the suspect is one Denver Whitman, age 52. He works at an assembly line!" Twoofficers reported to Cyrus as they marched behind him.

They continued, "There's a female casualty who fell off the building, followed by a male who wascleaved five times and died on the way to the hospital. Two other male students were hurt, but theyescaped just in time. They're already on their way to the hospital!"

Cyrus' brows knitted together. "Did the female student commit suicide?”

"She did, but after we reviewed the footage in the area, she'd only done it because Whitman forcedher to!"

Cyrus found this peculiar. "Do all the five students know one another?”

"I've asked their teachers and classmates. They all told me those five are pretty good friends. They'realways hanging out and smoking on the rooftop!"

Cyrus narrowed his eyes. "Is that where the crime scene is?"

"Yes, sir!"

Cyrus immediately figured out that Denver wasn't just mindlessly killing people.
