I was on the move before he realized what she’d done. I pushed her into Track, “Get her outta here.” And grabbed him. Putting him in the same hold he’d had her in.
I didn’t feel shit when I put pressure on his neck. Everything was happening so fast. Sian was screaming, finally giving into the fear and Track was trying to talk me down.
“I told you not to touch her you fuck. Did you forget?” I tightened my arm around his neck, adding just the right amount of pressure and barely restrained myself from doing more “I’m going to break your fucking neck.”
“Jace no, let him go, he’s not worth it.” I ignored Track and twisted my arm quick, snapping Stanley’s neck. “Call the cops.”
“Fuck Jace! What the fuck did I say?”
“Call the cops.”
“No, let me think let me clean this up. Shane, Alex bar the door make sure no one gets by…” I hadn’t even heard the others rush in behind me. But turned to see them now with horror in their eyes.
“He’s not dead Track his neck’s just broken. Call the cops.” I dropped Stanley on the floor just as the men who were supposed to be watching the school came through the door.
“What took you guys so long?”
“He didn’t come through our perimeter, he must’ve been here for a while. We just figured you guys were in here too long so something must be up.”
Someone called dad and he was there in five minuets, with her dad, minus our mothers I saw. Those same cops that had taken Mandy in showed up again, along with EMTs.
“Let me see your neck baby.” She was still shaking and I had to overcome my own anger and fear to see to her. I pulled her into my arms and held her. “Cry if you want to baby.” I rocked her in my arms until she dried up, then made the EMTs stop what they were doing to look her over.
She was okay, just a little shaken up. As I turned to take her out of there I heard the cops talking as they knelt over Stanley who was mumbling some shit.
“I think it’s even scarier that the kid knows how to break the neck and leave him alive. This kid’s going to be paralyzed no doubt.” I give a fuck! Although they said she was fine and she said she was fine, I still took her to the hospital to be looked over.

The next few days were nothing but chaos. The school was a crime scene, make that two, and the kids were given an extra day off so the cops could do their thing.
Dad and Track were getting information while I stayed locked away in my room with her, making sure she recovered. I’m sure she was fine ten minutes after we left the scene because her ass hasn’t stopped nagging me since then.
I didn’t dare say that to her though, I was just happy that she was okay. Now it was up to the cops to get the shit together.

“As we told you before, the same knife that was used to cut Ms. Taylor is the same one that was used in the attack on Ms. Claiborne, er Mrs. Saunders. We found a matching blade on Mr. Stanley’s person and ran some test, it comes back positive for both crimes.”
“We still don’t know why he tried to kill his accomplice, but from his ramblings, it seems she threatened him with the knowledge of the attack on your wife. As to who shot her, there’re still no leads on that.”
And there never will be if I have anything to say about it. That poor woman had suffered enough. Going through postpartum depression, and almost losing her husband to that succubus. Mandy got what she deserved. Not to mention what it would do to Cassie if her mom got caught up in that shit.
It was only two days later when they showed up to give us the latest. As it stood, both Mandy and Stanley were looking at spending a lot of time behind bars. There was no chance of him being tried as a juvenile, not with the lawyer I’d hired. As to her, she was eighteen at the time so that was a done deal.
The M.E. ruled that the principal committed suicide but Mandy was still facing charges for tampering with a corpse and the theft of a luxury vehicle which is a felony. With the added charges that kept piling up, she was never getting out.
Then it was revealed that she really was pregnant, but no one knew who the father was and she wasn’t talking. I didn’t care, and didn’t give either of them a thought, only looking forward to the end trial which had been set for a few months later.
