Chapter 376 Bad Parents of Bad Kids

After dropping Annie off, Luke drove Stephen’s pickup to the police station in town and asked the constables to return it to Stephen, if Stephen was still alive.

But Luke wasn’t very hopeful.

On his way back to No. 37 Middle School’s campsite, he remembered the ruthless kids again. Not only did they steal a car, they had also tried to kill the victim to keep his mouth shut.

However, they had been misled, and somehow sent themselves to Jason Voorhees’s machete.

Luke had planned to teach those kids a lesson after finding out the truth, but had been saved the trouble.

This was actually an inevitable ending.

If they had been less ballsy and ruthless, they wouldn’t have been killed off in one night.

Returning to No. 37 Middle School’s campsite, Luke looked at the kids who were horsing around, and suddenly felt that it was quite adorable that they went swimming at night or went naked into the woods.

They spent their energy on playing around, at least, which for minors was absolutely a good thing.

Luke found Juliet and thanked her for her help the day before.

Juliet simply nodded and spoke to him in private. “Luke, you’re not in any trouble, are you?”

Luke shook his head with a smile. “I reported what happened yesterday to my superior. Everything’s fine.”

Staring at him for a moment, Juliet slowly nodded. “That’s great. If you’re in any trouble, just let me know if I can be of any help, alright?”

Luke thanked her with a smile and resumed his role as safety instructor.

Juliet was relieved when she saw how Luke was behaving

She had a good impression of Luke.

Luke was one of the best she had seen in terms of looks, manners and professionalism.

Like she said, if she could help, she wouldn’t mind testifying on his behalf so that he wasn’t caught up in something troublesome.

After Juliet left, Luke called Selina while he was patrolling the campsite and told her what happened last night.

Apart from the confidential matter related to Jason Voorhees, he told her about everything else in detail, like the deaths of Wade Davis and Lucas Barton.

After hearing that, Selina asked, “Should I start making preparations now so that you can deal with that playboy after you come back?”

Luke coughed and said, “Don’t. We’re law-abiding detectives. Focus on the real estate company and search for any weaknesses and negative press on it. You can ask Elizabeth to help you; she’s your student too.”

Selina rolled her eyes. “Got it.”

She had thought in the beginning that this guy was interested in Elizabeth, but she now realized that he was completely just using Elizabeth as free labor.

But Selina liked it this way, since she could give a lot of the work to Elizabeth. Thinking about Elizabeth’s possible gains later, Selina didn’t feel guilty about it at all.

“Can’t get enough of the middle school girls yet?” Selina asked casually.

Luke chuckled. “It’ll be over in a couple of days. You should always finish what you started.”

He had sent too many naked students back to their dorms in the last two nights – it was too much fun!

When he was free, he had Sonia look up Jason Voorhees in the police database.

He was quite curious about this weirdo.

This was Sonia’s area of expertise; less than half a day later, she sent a bunch of files to Luke.

Luke was even more astonished after going through the information.

The name Jason Voorhees wasn’t in the electronic database.

But as a professional, Sonia had found old paper documents in the archive room. Most of the documents had been sealed for years, and the police department didn’t have the manpower and energy to turn them into electronic records.

Based on what Sonia found, the Eden Lake Campsite that Stephen ran was originally known as Camp Crystal Lake.

It wasn’t strange for Crystal State Park to have a Crystal Lake.

That worn signboard which Luke had seen at the very beginning — CAMP CRYS*** — was thus its original name, except that the latter half of the name had been cut off.

It had also been a camp for students years ago, but was abandoned after an accident, until Annie’s uncle took over and renamed and promoted it as Eden Lake Campsite.

No. 37 Middle School’s campsite was the new camp that was established after the accident back then.

The new site was closer to the road and easier to reach, so Crystal Lake had remained abandoned.

Sonia had found a few old newspaper clippings which mentioned Jason Voorhees’s name.

Allegedly, this eleven-year-old child drowned in an accident while playing with his classmates.

However, his mother insisted that Jason had been pushed into the water by his classmates, and started to wantonly slaughter the teachers in the camp back then.

In the end, this crazy mother was shot dead.

The case happened decades ago, and it was hard to find any information on it; these newspaper clippings were the only proof that such a horrible incident had once taken place.

Whether because of superstition or other reasons, the campsite was relocated.

Reading the files, Luke scratched his chin and mumbled, “So, Mr. Jason is just a child?”

Was this a case of a bad boy getting belated revenge on other bad boys? Luke was amused and stopped looking into it.

It had only been out of personal interest that he had looked into it.

Mr. Jason had probably been sent to a lab by now, and would no longer emerge to sort out bad kids.Two days later, Luke noticed a group of people on the open ground in front of the camp entrance, including the two constables whom he had spoken with before.

He thought for a moment before he went over to greet the constables.

“Are they from the town on the other side of the mountain? Looking for their kids?” Luke asked one of the constables in a low voice, and the latter nodded with a bitter smile.

Luke said sympathetically, “Then you’re going to be busy. I wish you luck.”

Flegg and his agents had cleaned up everything and removed all the bodies, including those of the kids.

These parents wouldn’t find anything.

The constable couldn’t say anything in response.

While vile kids didn’t have to mean that they had vile parents, this bunch really didn’t look decent.
