Murder! (Ch. 8 Preview)

Marie sat quietly in the courtyard of the University, reading a book. She then walked closer and stopped as Korn sat down next to her. Marie lowered the book softly and smiled as Korn smiled back at her.

"What would you like me to cook for you tonight," Marie said to Korn as she softly brushed some of his bangs to the side.

"How about something simple...mmmm...," Korn said happily, "Oh, how about omelet over rice."

Marie thought for a moment and then nodded. "Sure, I can do that," she says softly to him.

Ashlyn looked at them and then looked to the side at a pillar. A man stood there watching, an angry look on his face. He then briskly walked over to Marie and Korn.

Korn stood up, looking at the man as Married stood up, placing an arm on Korn's upper arm. The man and Korn stared at each other for a bit. "You do realize you are only a temporary figure. Once the semester is over, she returns to America with me and her family," the man said to Korn.

Korn looked back to Marie lightly, then to the man. "I think I will take my chances," he says to the man.

The man turned and walked away, stopping in front of Ashlyn with a clenched fist.

Ashlyn looked around as the figures disappeared. She looked back to the bench seeing that Marie and Korn had disappeared. Ashlyn took a deep breath as she wiped a tear from her face.
