So Long and Goodnight

Gerard POV

"What?!" I say, walking over to the closet door.
"She's dead." Zepplin repeats. "D-e-a-d. Dead."
"How?" says Ridley walking over to the door, examining the corpse.
He checks the pulse and looks at her face and neck. "It looks like Co2 poisoning."
"How would she get Co2 poisoning?" asks Ridley?
He examines the remaining insulators. "You sealed the room airtight with all that tape you used. She kept spreading the carbon dioxide she was producing by breathing, and she just dies. Co2 poisoning."
I take a look at everyone's reactions. I've dealt with death before. Both accidental and murders. I'm not as shocked as someone like me normally would be. Zepplin looks more disappointed and stressed than scared. Ridley looks like she's gone into shock, Katie is rocking, hugging her knees and crying silently in the corner. Lily's unsurprisingly unaffected. And Max is pacing, his hands ruffled into his hair.
"You." he says, pointing at Ridley. "This is all your fault!" Ridley backs into the wall, scared.
"Guys, no. Let's not start this." I say.
But Lily is already pinning Ridley against a wall, her arm pressing against her neck with strong force. Ridley's choking and coughing at the same time.
"Stop!" I say. "We can't go against each other on the first day! We have to work together! Not try to kill each other!"
Lily looks at me and takes her arm away, Ridley falls onto the ground, crying silently into her hands.
"What about the body?" asks Katie, her eyes swimming with tears.
Lily signs to her quickly. 'We'll make it look like it was an accident. Someone help me life it into the office. Zepplin, you hack into the security camera's on your laptop and stop them from recording temporarily, but make sure you can see everything they would be capturing, to make sure nobody's walking towards us. And delete the footage from the one in this room and in the hall. '
He nods, taking his laptop out from his bag. Ridley grabs the corpse's leg, and Lily takes her arms, and they begin leading her out of the room.
"Wait!" says Zepplin after them. They stop dead in their tracks and look at him.
"Yeah?" says Ridley.
"Take these." he hands them two little earpieces. "Just so if I see someone coming I can contact you."
"What are those?" I say curiously. "Some cool ear gadget you invented? Does it play music? What do you call it? The something 2000?"
He gives me an odd look. "Bluetooth."
I blush a bit at my embarrassment, and the girls leave the room.

Lily's POV

We're dragging the body down to the office, and we're nearly there just as I hear a voice come from my headset.
"Mr H is coming, guys. He's not there yet, but I'd hurry up if I were you. I roll my eyes and increase the walking speed, hoping this pile of bones can keep up.
Once we reach the door, Ridley opens it and we gratefully drop the body next to her desk. I sigh and begins making it look like she tripped over the leg of her metal chair. Ridley eventually catches on and begins helping. She's not bad, actually.
"Now what? I don't think tripping would have been enough to kill her..."
I think for a second and place a paper weight under her head, before picking up her head and smashing it as hard as I can into the side of it.
Blood comes out from the hit quickly and rapidly, staining the carpet crimson. I look back at Ridley to see her reaction. She has her hands over her mouth and her eyes are wide. Pxssy.
'What?' I sign. 'She's already dead.'
I hear the voice from my headset again. "RUN. GET OUT OF THERE. HE's COMING. HE'S LITERALLY ABOUT TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR."
Ridley heard it hers too. We go to make an exit through the window, but just as we're mid climb, we hear a knock on the door.
