A/N: Well, here's chapter three! I hope you like it!
Chapter Three: The Landlady
I'm Ms. Smithers. I am the landlady of Miss Zinnia George. She's a good tenant. She pays me on time, and keeps her flat well kept. She's always going outside with her camera.
When I ask her where she's going, or what's she doing, she responds, "Oh, just going for a walk, and taking photographs, Ms. Smithers."
She doesn't specify what the objects of her photographs are, but it has something to do with being outside. She's almost constantly going out to take her photographs, and other times, holes up in her flat, clipping out articles in just about every newspaper in London. She's very odd, she is.
She has a small room in her flat that she won't let me enter when I go to clean her already tidy flat. I wonder what she keeps in there. I told all this to my friend, Mrs. Henrietta Bowersox, and she suggested maybe a corpse or something. I told her she was being silly.
"Well, it's still possible," she said.
"No it's not! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard," I replied.
"Well, why don't you ask her then," Henrietta asked.
"Because, I don't want to pry into that woman's life," I proclaimed.
"You're too afraid to," said Henrietta.
"I am no such thing," I said.
"If you say so," said Henrietta, obviously not believing me.
"It's true," I tried again.
"Well, I'll take your word for it, but I've got to go to my friend Melissa's house for tea," she said, getting up to leave.
Finally, I thought, after Henrietta had gone. That woman loves to meddle, and gossip!
A few minutes later, I heard Zinnia going upstairs to her flat.
"Hello, Ms. Smithers," she cheerfully called, halfway up.
"Hello, Zinnia. How'd your outing go? Get a lot of pictures," I inquired.
"It was good. I got a few," she answered, continuing on her way.
I wondered what on earth that girl took photographs of, and what she keeps in that small room in her flat.

A/N: Well, I know it's kind of short, but I'm working on ch.4, also from Ms. Smithers' POV. We all know what Zinnia takes pictures of, and what she keeps hidden in the Small Room, don't we? R/R!!!!!!
