Mr. Monk Goes Camping by Electric Spyro :o)
Chapter 9 Another Clue

Adrian sighed and turned back around to face the counter. He noticed a patch of dust resting ontop of the microwave and quickly grabbed a wipe from his pocket to use on it. He smiled as the scrum was totally wiped away but noticed something behind the microwave. A note of some sort.

Being Adrian, he curiously picked up the piece of paper with his wipe, making sure he didn't physically touch it. He looked the paper over. It was a note made on a napkin. It read:

Jupar -

Please remember to clean the showers in this cabin. I have recently found paint streaks on the walls and Mr. Holmes surely would like all his customers to be clean and comfortable. I would rather notify you this way because otherwise I might report it to Mr. Holmes. Please also remember to come to my house tomorrow to install the new engine in my boat. it won't take you to long if you do it right. - Mr. Arnold Tithers

" Arnold Tithers?" Adrian said to himself. " Why would Mr. Tithers stay in this cabin.?"

The next day, Sharona came to visit Adrian. It was around twelve in the afternoon and Benji was about splashing happily in the lake.

" Adrian, I checked the crime scene." Sharona said just as she had gotten in the door. Adrian got up from his spot on the couch. " It was spottless. Nothing, no evidence. You would've been in heaven."

" Sharona, I think I have an idea of who did it." He pulled out the note he'd found. " This note was written by Mr. Tithers complaining about the poor cleaning that Jupar did in the bathroom."

" So?"

" So, I wondered why Mr. Tithers would stay over here if he was enemies with Calvin and he already lived by the lake. I talked to Calvin earlier today and he said that Mr. Tithers stayed over here until his house was done being painted because he was having his whole house repainted and was allergic to paint. He also told me Jupar had been doing some of the painting for him and anything else he needed him to do at his house. Obviously, Jupar was being a little over worked. That's probably why he didn't put the engine in right in Daniel's boat and he did such a bad job of cleaning the shower."

" Why would that drive him into killing someone and then blaming you for it?" Sharona asked.

" That's what I wondered, too." Adrian said turning around and walking towards the window and looking out. " But I'll bet that Jupar realized that Mr. Tithers was a little hard on him and he wasn't getting paid for helping him out. He couldn't not help him because Calvin would most definitely fire him. He had to find another way. "

" So you're saying Jupar murdered Mr. Tithers so he didn't have to help him with his painting? Sounds kinda weird Adrian." Sharona said sitting down on the couch.

" Sharona, why would Calvin want to kill Mr. Tithers? Didn't Daniel tell us that Jupar and Huleo were the ones that got yelled at by Mr. Tithers? There the ones that put in the engines, not Calvin. Don't you see? It all fits. Except for me. Why would they frame me?"

" Maybe Jupar just wanted to frame it on the person that came up for a vacation." Sharona suggested. Adrian shook his head. " No, no I think it has something to do with Daniel. I need you to talk to him again."
