The murder witness

In 8th grade, I used to have a classmate named Mary. She was a good friend and we're still very close to this day. One day she was having a bad day. She failed her math test, forgot her lunch, and fell into a puddle during gym class. When she got home she just wanted to relax. She got into her bed and started watching TV. When her parents returned from work they weren't very happy with her. In the end, they got into an argument and Mary said that if they hate her that much then she'll run away from home (she's actually a really nice and positive girl, but in that situation, she was just mad and wasn't thinking). Then she took her coat and ran outside (I'm pretty sure that the only reason her parents let her go out was that they thought that she just needed to cool down). Mary went to the local park and soon she reached the playground. This playground was just like any other. It had a few slides, monkey bars, and swings. It also had a tube with one opening. It was under the slides and usually, kids would just get into it and chill there. Mary got into the tube and soon fell asleep. She woke up to weird sounds. She told me that it sounded like a normal group chatting and laughing. They were right on top of the slide, so she was below and could hear everything. She could tell that it was very late (like 3 or 4 AM), so she got worried that her parents would get mad at her. She was just about to get out of the tube when she heard a scream. Not just a normal scream, but a scary one, like the one you make out of pain. She froze with fear as she started listening to it to the conversation of the group. They were laughing as the other person was screaming. Then the screams stopped. One of the people in the group said,-"Oh, I guess he's dead." Then the other person said,-" Oh well, what should we do with the body?" Mary was terrified. She couldn't breathe or move a muscle out of fear. The group started discussing how to dispose of the body. They kept talking for what seemed to be hours when they finally stood up and started to drag the body off the slide. Then they carried it into the depths of the park. Even after they left Mary still couldn't move. She was afraid that they were close by. Only when the sun came up did she muster the courage to start running thru the park to her house. When she returned home her parents were worried as hell. They have been calling and looking for her all night. They even called the police to go search for her. She told her parents, and then the police about the incident and all of the people were found and arrested. Mary was terrified of going to the park ever since that day.
