"Was this online or something?" Gray smirked mischievously and pulled out his iPhone, leaving his cigarette to rest between his lips as he puffed on it as an old man smoking a pipe would.
He scrolled through the journals and raised his eyebrows, as he found that the first post on his friends page was about 'calling the cops'. Must have been her.
"Guys, I think someone needs to call the cops." He read aloud. "That her?" He clicked on the post before Frankie could answer.
"My phone is dead, I'm never going outside again, this is serious..." He glanced at Frankie shaking his head. "Woah! Here we go."
"See, see!" Frankie scooted over to Gray, leaning on his arm and jabbed at the screen wildly. "Look! Look how she doesn't tell me anything of any use!"
Gray nodded sagely, or what he assumed must have been sage-like. "Yeah, but look at what she says here--" He mimicked what he imagined Janis's voice must sound like, even though he already knew her and should therefore know what her voice sounded like.
"There are dead things outside!" He waved his hands and dropped his jaw in mock fear. Grinning at Frankie, he shrugged. "She probably just found some of that weird kid's snacks. I heard he eats roadkill and hangs the skins on his walls!"
He was mostly joking, none of this seemed very serious to him.
Frankie smirked at Gray's impression, feeling ever so slightly bad. "The weird- Ben does not eat roadkill" she said distractedly. She hadn't read the rest of her journal post, seemed Janis had opened up to other people a little more.
"Wait, scroll down" she instructed, spotting Rowan's username. "If Rowan is taking this serious it means it's serious, right?"
Frankie gasped and pointed to a particular comment. "Someone's going to see her! That means something has happened! Mon dieu, what if there are dead bodies in the forest? I bet it was a rapist."
Frankie looked at Gray, her face illuminated triumphantly in the light of his cellphone. "We're like the guys from Scooby Doo."
"Look here," His smile half-dropped, but he had more of a look of disbelief than the seriousness that Rowan and "She saw fingers? ...So you think there's some serial rapist hanging out in our woods? Leaving meaty bits of his victims? Really?"
"I think you're more of a Scrappy Doo" she said laughing.
"Maybe it's an escaped animal. You know, after Katrina and people's pets and the zoo and everything...All the animals were gone. Or maybe it's an alligator."
"I hope it's just a wild animal. Having a serial killer running around campus killing off students is going to jepordise our secrecy massively."
Frankie stubbed her cigarette out, chucking it somewhere where it wouldn't be detected. "Poor Janis" she said finally. "Even if she is insufferable, no one should see that."
"Yeah, and we're both screwed because neither of us are virgins." Gray nodded somberly. He watched her put out the cigarette and sighed, trying to rush smoking the last of his own.
"I'll walk you home," He offered. Even though it was only across the commons, he suddenly felt a little uneasy about leaving Frankie by herself this late in the evening.
