Chapter Seven : The Eye Of The Lioness
SPECIAL AGENT ACADEMY
The next morning, the special agent trainees are in the lecture room with our mentor, Maggie. I'm sitting on the third row with Robby.
"What do we know about serial killers? Psychopaths, sociopaths. They're both mentally deranged." Maggie lectured. "Can you anyone tell me the un-similar of them both?" She asked, looking around at her special agents trainees and looks at me. "Violet?"
I look at Maggie and the others looks at me. "The un-similar between a psychopath and a sociopath. A psychopath can't be reasonable with, doesn't care or lacks their emotions. They feel nothing. And a sociopath lacks their emotions and goes off on a person."
"Can you name a psychopath?" Maggie asked me.
"Eleanor Reese." I replied to her.
Maggie small smiles to herself. "Very good." And looks around at the rest of her special agent trainees. "Psychopaths, sociopaths, and serial killers. They aren't just adults, their teenagers as well."
"Smarty clever." Robby whispered to me with a small smile.
"Thanks." I whispered back to him with a small smile.
I look up at Wallace and Kenzie, they both looks at me, playfully wiggles their fingers at me from the fourth row. I small smile at them both and averts my attention back at Maggie.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
In the cafeteria, I'm sitting with Jonny, Sonya, Ava, Aaron and Jessy at a round green lunch table.
"So, your Scooby-Doo skills are coming in handy with your special agent training at the academy, Vinny?" Ava asked me.
"Yeah. It's pretty interesting so far. And I'm sorry that I haven't been around here in a little while." I apologized.
"It's fine." Jonny said. "Like you said, you can multitask."
"Yeah." I replied and looks at Cherry as she just walked inside the cafeteria and decides to playfully tease her a bit. "Yoo-hoo, hey, Cherrypoo." I small waved at her.
Cherry looks at me, annoyed with my playfully teasing, but small smiles, and annoyingly tolerances it. "Hi to you too, Violetquinn."
"You're always playfully teasing Cherry." Sonya said to me.
"Cherry annoyingly tolerates it, but we love each other." I said to Sonya.
"So, what do you do at the special agent academy?" Aaron asked.
"Learn about psychopaths, sociopaths, deranged serial killers. Bug devices, stuff like that." I said.
"Sounds pretty interesting, I think." Jonny said, chew on a French fry.
"Yeah. And I'm already Maggie's favored student." I said. "But I have an uneasy vibe about two special agent trainees."
"Who are they?" Jessy asked.
"Wallace Stuart and Kenzie Watts." I replied to her. "Maggie told me that Wallace and Kenzie are a mischievous duo and playfully jokesters, but there's something else."
"Such as?" Aaron asked.
"I don't know, Aary, I haven't figured it out just yet. But it's something about Wallace and Kenzie. I don't know what it is, I just can't quite put my finger on it." I said to him.
"And knowing you very well, V, you won't stop until you figured it out." Ava said with a small smile, eating a fruit cup.
"Yep." I said.

3RD POV
That after school, Jonny opens the door and closes it behind him. And slowly walks inside the living room.
"Hi, Jonny." Eleanor Reese greeted him, sitting in an sofa chair, drinking a glass of wine.
Jonny looks at Eleanor Reese. "Eleanor? What are you doing here?" He asked.
"You and I need to chitchat." Eleanor Reese said to him.
"Screw you." Jonny replied.
Eleanor Reese gets up, shattering her drinking glass and lunges at Jonny, pinning him against the living room wall with the broken drinking glass to Jonny's throat.
"Don't think I won't silt your throat, Jonny." Eleanor Reese said with a straight face. "So, what to chitchat about?"
*~*~*
JEN'S DINER
Later on that afternoon, I'm sitting in a booth table with my strawberry banana smoothie, sipping on it with a straw.
"Hey, Violet." Kenzie greeted me.
"Hey, Kenzie." I greeted back at her.
"So, you know a thing or two about psychopaths and sociopaths, huh?" Kenzie asked, sliding into the booth table across from me.
"Yeah. And I have a quarrel with a psychopath." I said.
"You and Maggie may be bestie buddies, but you might as well back out while you can." Kenzie said.
Kenzie and I exchange mildly looks at each other. She slides out of the booth table and walks away.
*~*~*
HARPER HOME
Later on that late afternoon, Using the spare key, I slowly walks inside and closes the door behind me. "Jonny?"
I slowly walks further inside the living room and sees Jonny laying on the three seat sofa with a few bruises on his face.
"Jonny?!" I exclaimed, walking up to him and sits down beside him. "Jonny?"
Jonny looks at me. "Violet?" And faints.
*~*~*
SMITH'S ROOT CELLAR
Jonny slowly regains his conscious and finds himself laying on an air bed with small band-aids on his face bruises.
Jonny looks at me. "Violet?"
"Hey, J." I said to him.
Jonny looks around at the root cellar, slowly sitting up straight. "Where am I?"
"In a root cellar." I replied to him.
Jonny looks around at the root cellar. "It's pretty nice."
"Yeah. I found it." I said to him.
"Who else knows this root cellar?" Jonny asked me.
"Just me. And now, you." I replied to him. "It's nearby the Clearwater Swim Hole, by the way."
"You can trust me." Jonny said. "I can tell the guys if you want."
"I'll tell myself." I said. "And by the way, what the hell happened? I came by your house to check on you."
"Eleanor Reese was at my home." Jonny tells me. "She said she wanted to chitchat about something. But she chitchatted with a broken piece of drinking wine glass.
"And she bruised your face." I said to him. "You need to get back home and I need to get back to Maggie."
"Okay. I'll see you around." Jonny said.
"Yeah. You too." I replied to him.
*~*~*
SPECIAL AGENT ACADEMY
That night, I slowly walks inside the main room and sees Robby's dead body laying on the carpet floor and blood out of his eyes, nose, ears and mouth; and green lips.
"Oh my gosh." I said, covered my mouth with my hand.
