Chapter 12
A knock at the door caught Liz's attention, drawing her away from her homework. "Patty! Can you answer the door for me please?" Liz called to her sister, waiting for a reply.
"I can't Liz! I've just painted my nails and don't want to smudge them!" Patty shouted back.
Liz let out a sigh, standing from her seat as she made her way down the stairs. The knock sounded again, causing the weapon to manoeuvre her way through the rooms quicker to reach the door. "Sorry about that! I was upstairs," she huffed, pulling open the door.
Mr. Harper, the police officer who was called on by Kami and Soul, stood in the doorway. "Hello," he greeted the confused weapon. "May I come in?"
"I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but what are you doing here?" Liz said before widening her eyes. "OMD, has my sister done something again?" She cried, gripping the door knob. "Patty!" Liz yelled. "What did you do this time!?"
"Um, this isn't about your-"
"Please don't say she stole a giraffe from the zoo again," Liz cut off the police officer, face palming herself.
"N-No! Your sister hasn't done anything-Wait. She stole a giraffe?" Mr. Harper asked, confusion filling his eyes. "I'll come back to that." He pulled out his notepad and pen. "I'm here to ask you questions about the disappearance of Maka Albarn."
"Maka? She hasn't been found yet!?" Liz cried. "Have you spoken to her partner and mother about this?"
"Yes," Mr. Harper walked past Liz inside the house, waiting for Liz to close the door. "They were the ones who told me about you and your sister. Soul said that you two were the last ones who saw her, is that correct?"
"N-Not the very last ones," Liz replied, gesturing for him to sit down on the couch. "Patty and I last saw her at lunch, but didn't get no answer from her after that. She said she had a detention after school with Stein, so maybe you should talk to him for more information. He was probably the last person who saw her, apart from us."
"Liz! Who was at the door!?" Patty yelled, walking oddly into the room. She was leaning back on the heels of her bare feet, keeping her toes pointed up in the air while her arms lay straight in front of her.
"Why are you walking like that?"
"My nails are still wet." She replied, showing off her bright yellow fingernails and matching toenails.
"Oh, well Mr. Harper here is on Maka's case. He was wondering what information we had on Maka." Liz told her sister who hobbled over to the brown bean bag next to the couch.
"Maka-chan? She's still missing, huh?" Patty sighed, blowing on her nails to occupy herself.
"Yeah, can you remember anything else other than her having a detention?"
"No, not really. But I do have Stein's address." Patty smiled, lightly pressing her fingernails to see if they were dry before ripping off a piece of paper and writing down Stein's address. "Here you go," she handed the police officer the paper.
"Thanks," he stuffed the paper between the pages of his pocket book.
"How do you have Stein's address?" Liz asked her sister, confusing sweeping across her face.
"Oh, you know me 'sis! I like to keep the 'deets on everyone I meet. You never know what they're hiding.." She smirked.
"What are 'deets?" Mr. Harper said.
"It's short for details," Liz replied, combing her fingers through her hair. "I'm sorry we couldn't answer your questions very well, I just hope Maka is found soon."
"It's fine, you've given me enough already." He smiled, packing away his notepad. "Before I go, there is one more thing I need to ask you."
"And that is?"
"Soul thinks Maka Albarn was kidnapped by the same person who took the other female students, making her apart of the Missing Teenagers Case." Mr. Harper said. "But we can't rule that in since we have no evidence of her even being kidnapped. So if you can find anything to link her in with the case, then more officers and reporters will look for her."
"OK, we'll see what we can do." Liz nodded, standing from her seat as the police officer made his way to the door. "Thanks for coming!"
"Is it OK if you keep us informed?" Patty waddled over, standing beside the door where he now stood outside.
"Of course," he bowed before walking down the road, disappearing in sight.
"I guess Maka really has been kidnapped." Patty said before wandering back inside, heading for the stairs while Liz closed the door, keeping her hand on the handle.
"I might do some investigating myself."
