Lyra rubbed her chin. "Welll.....I say we give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Remember: Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense." Lyra quoted. "As for the video...I can't believe I'm saying this...but...download it. We'll use the computer's video editing software to slow it down as much as possible. It could give us a clue as to the identity of the killer."
Jay walked in. "Sup?"
"Oh hey Jay!" Eliza would say, standing up, tousling her hair and smiling at him. "Lyra and I were uh, debating over something actually. She was trying to tell me that a potential career in journalism will be wholly digital, whereas I told her that I would more than likely like to be an on the scene reporter and that someone will need to be there, and not just blog about it, right Lyra?" Eliza would ask as the video was downloaded into a thumb drive she bumped into her bag
"Don't touch my hair."
"Well, it's great to see you two working together like this." Jay said. "Say, I'd be happy to be help you out with it."
"well uh sorry Lyra and well I just had to accept that you know I shouldn't compete wit lh Lyra, we should be friends and while I would LOVE to have your help, we wouldn't want to bother you with this. It's a surprise for a project on the debate team, and five Lyra is the captain, I figure shed be the focal point you know?" She'd ask, touching his hand with hers. She'd then kiss Jay on the cheek and hand the thumb drive to Lyra. "We have to go but you're very sweet, thank you for the offer Jay!" She'd tell him, striding by
"Oh, yeah...you too." Jay said as he smiled and rubbed his cheek.
Lyra dropped the thumb drive into her pocket and then turned off the computer and turned it off.
"Well, I have work to do, so I will see you all later." Lyra said and walked out.
Neil held the door open for her and walked into the room with Jay. "Hey man."
"Neil, how's it going?"
"Good..well, I had a test and I had trouble focusing on it."
"Because of what happened?"
"Yeah...it's hard to believe something like that could happen in our city. What kind of sicko would do that?"
"I don't know...but I'm sure Fastlane will catch him."
"Let's hope so. I wonder if there's anything we can do, you know, to protect ourselves?"
"Travel in groups is all I can suggest really."
"Alright then, I'll travel with Lyra and Randy and let you travel alone with Eliza."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Lipstick."
"I have...oh." Jay looked in the reflection of a computer screen. "Woah."
"You've got some serious game if liz is that into you."
"Oh zip it." The two had a good laugh. "You know, if you talk to the teacher, I'm sure she'll understand. Especially if you explain how freaked out you are about all of this."
"Thanks Jay, I'll talk to her about it and if my grade turns out bad, I'll try and get a do-over."
"That's the spirit."
"How's your day been?"
"Good. Aside from a bit of anxiety."
"I know the feeling, just don't let it get you down, alright?"
"I never do."
