Heather walked into her apartment (which would later be used by a man named Henry in a later game) while James and Eddie took off to get something to eat. "God what a day. " She said, kicking off her shoes and flopping onto her couch, which coughed out a giant cloud of dust when she did. Heather dosed off to sleep and about an hour later James and Eddie knocked on the door twice before flinging it open and walking in.
"Oh, hey guys, (yawn)find anything to eat?" Heather asked.
"No! Everybody is either closed, kicked us out already, looked at us like we were going to get kicked out, or was Neely's Bar." Eddie said.
James shook his head, "Man, we saw Vincent and he looks way different!"
"Yeah, he like, shaved his head and stuff." Eddie added.
"No he didn't you idiot! But he does still look different."
Eddie punched James in the shoulder. "Don't call me an idiot!" He screamed. "You're a bigger idiot than I am!"
"Don't act like one! And at least I don't smell like moldy ass!" James shouted back.
"BOYS! Knock it off!" Heather said, standing up and separating them by their shoulders as they glared evily at one another. "Come on, Watermelons are dying and you two are fighting like a married couple."
Eddie frowned and looked at James. "I'm sorry."
"I'm not." James said.
"James!" Heather punched him in the shoulder. "What did we learn today so far, kids?" She asked as she let go of both of them and stepped back.
"That Eddie needs a shower?" James asked.
"Hey!"
"Boys! Knock it off!. No, James, I mean about the watermelon case. Did we learn anything?"
"No. Nothing really except that Claudia is the only person in the world who can attempt suicide in a super center and nobody notices." Eddie said dully.
"Okay, what I think we learned was that people are obviously sneaky. I mean, everybody in the whole town must have been there today, so we must have passed them at least once. We were, after all, split up. Where did you guys go to?" Heather asked while pacing the room.
"We were going to go to the toys, but Eddie brought it to my short attention span that we were standing in the melon isle. Eddie goes, 'more melon than stars' and then we saw Angela. We asked her what she thought about watermelon and she said she loves it, so it can't be her. Then we were walking to the toys after saying goodbye to Angela, who had this weird look on her face, when she ran past us screaming. When we turned around there was watermelon everywhere." James looked at Heather, who was staring at him blankly. "Heather? Are you okay?"
"Huh, oh sorry, I wasn't listening. So, you went to the melon section and then to the toys?"
Eddie nodded. "Yeah, but we sa-"
"Never mind that, what did the watermelons look like?"
James looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Before of after Ang-"
"Before!" Heather said irritated.
"Fine, they all looked like they should, happy and peaceful... not doing anything to anybody!" Eddie burst into tears and James held onto him.
"Look what you did, Heather!" James shouted.
"Hey! I was just trying to make sure you guys didn't see anything suspicious! Apparently none of you even know what suspicious things look like. This...Angela... when she ran past you, did she have a blade of any kind?"
"Well, yeah, but she always carries around a knife, so it's normal to see her with it." James said.
"Oh, okay fine. Maybe we should just leave it alone. I mean, it's just a watermelon, I know Eddie was attached to it, but it was just fruit." Heather said.
Eddie glared at Heather and clenched his fists. "Just give up! I'm not giving up on anyth-"
"Hey are you guys still hungry?" Heather asked.
"Oh! Yes, please." Eddie said happily.
"I've got some snack meats and stuff if you're interested. There's some melon in the fridge that my grandmother sent me from hell... I mean Wisconsin." Heather opened the refrigerator and stepped back screaming.
"What's wrong?" Eddie asked as him and James ran up to her. Heather dropped to her knees and Eddie and James ran up behind her.
"Oh my god, Eddie. It's worse than we thought." James said resting a hand on Heather's shoulder.
"My grandmother's watermelon... It's gone... all gone!"
Heather's face turned red and she stood up, slammed the fridge door shut, threw on her coat and flung the door open. "Are you guys going to help me find this broad or are you just going to stand there?"
"SHE'S BACK IN THE GAME!" Eddie screamed.
"Quick, Heather! Let's go to Neely's and interview the bartender!" James yelled.
"Anything! Just get me out of here!" Heather said.
