Suddenly there is a death in her dorm that Heather can't explain away as easily as everyone else. Heather knows these kids and knows that elevator surfing is just not done by girls, especially by one who is quiet and reserved. Then another body turns up and Heather decides if no one else will listen to her she will investigate things on her own. Heather starts asking a lot of questions and in turn starts to put together a theory of who the real killer is. She is right but will he knowing the killer also make her a target? | ||
