sorry if i update this story quite long.........!!!!!!

Ash moved like a rattlesnake when he put his self between his frantic sister and the girl who can't put out of his mind. He managed to knock the shovel on to the floor.

"You! You spied on us!" Kestrel said furiously.

"I did not!" Mary –Lynette answered. Why is she the one who looks like the bad girl? "You! You killed Mrs. Burdock."

The words hang on the air for a minute. Ash swallowed, "A-aunt Opal is d-dead?"

This is the first time Mary- Lynette saw Ash look so young. She swallowed hard.

Kestrel's pretty face turned from outrage into a laughing face. She's laughing so hard she already joined the shovel on the ground.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Ash.

Kestrel puts a hand over her mouth, her giggles still managed to escape her lips, "Y-you thought we killed Aunt Opal?"

Mary- Lynette nodded, "I saw you burying her here." Her foot taps the ground.

"No we didn't kill Aunt Opal," Rowan said. "We saw her dead body inside the house."

"Then why didn't you tell the police?" her voice were very loud. Mrs. B is such a good woman. She deserved a nice funeral.

Ash was the one who answered, "It's because they were hiding from Daddy."

The sentence clicked on Mary- Lynette's head, "So, this is all about your little teen-age act? You all ignore Mrs. B's death so that your father won't come to you?"

"WE DIDN'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN!" Kestrel bursts. "We don't want this. Why don't you point your stubborn, little finger on Ash?"

Ash? Is that his name?

They all look at Ash. He seems to be the perfect boy, the perfect gentleman. No one would notice that he may do tragically bad things.

He sighed, "I didn't do it." His voice is tired, "I didn't kill her.

They all look on the ground.

Rowan breaks the ice, "Jez will be here. We should get her body."

~o~o~

James sat beside the unusually saddened Poppy. They were outside the North's house, waiting for further investigations.

"Poppy-"

Poppy's head fell on his shoulder, sobbing. He had never seen his best friend cry like this. It broke his heart.

"Phil may be a jock bastard, but he's nice," Poppy said against his jacket. "He's protective because he loves me and I feel the same way."

James puts his arms around the pixie girl though he didn't deserved to be near Poppy. He didn't deserve to live.

"He didn't deserve this. He didn't."

"I know, Poppy, I know," he murmured.

"James", she clasped her hands tightly at his. "Promise me promise me you'll help me!"

"I will. I will."

She hugged his muscled body, "We'll find them. We will find who did this to Phil!"

~o~o~

They all sat down on living room.

Ash felt so stricken about his Aunt's death. She used to bake him chocolate-chip cookies when he was about five. He missed him when she left the mansion and he promised his self that they will see each other again.

But now she's a dead corpse lying at Jez Redfern's truck.

Kestrel leaned towards Mary- Lynette, "I'm sorry if I shouted at you."

"Wow sis, when did you become Mother Teresa?" he asked.

She snarled while Mary- Lynette ignored her, "It's okay Kestrel."

Ash snorted at the mushiness.

"Well, well, well, what do we got here?" he asked. "Girls who like trouble, eh?"

Mary- Lynette stood up then powerfully kicked his shin. The sensation gave him pain and a good turn on. "What's your problem?"

"No, what's your problem, jerk?" she's more beautiful when angry. "We don't like trouble and we don't like you. You should help your sisters not insulting them."

"I'm not insulting them," he said back. "It's a classic Redfern banter. Get used to it."

Her face reddened.

"Can we just stop fighting?" Jade asks remorse. "We'll get to no where."

They all sighed.

Mary- Lynette went, "So, we need suspects."

"Ash Redfern, no. 1," kestrel raised an arm.

"The Redfern girls, no. 0," Ash retorted.

"This is serious," Mary- Lynette said menacingly.

Rowan went to a business voice, "Okay, why don't we divide ourselves? Kestrel, Jade and I will snoop around while the two of you will spy on the school."

"WHAT?"

His older sister smiled, "The two of you go to the same school. We don't know if Father's other dogs were doing things behind our backs."

Ash nodded. He likes the idea. He gave a smile on Mary- Lynette's way. She ignored it.

"Whatever," says Mary- Lynette. "I just want to give Mrs. B a peaceful death."

Me too.
