Author's Note: This is a quick update because I'm leaving to Saskatchewan tomorrow so I thought I'd update so enjoy!
It was 9 at night, and Manny had snuck out of her house and ran to the alleyway as fast as she could. When she got there, she saw a person wearing a trench coat, crouching in the dark.
"Manny, I'm glad you're here," they said.
She shrugged. "So, what did you want?"
"I have a proposition for you," the person said.
Manny nodded. "I'm listening. But why must you crouch in the dark?"
"Nobody must know who I am."
She nodded.
The person cleared their throat. "I'll tell you my deal. I need the envelope that I stashed in one of the mailboxes in Degrassi's teacher lounge. It is full of pictures, notes I made and information you will need to crack the case and get the shooter arrested."
"What is in it for me?" Manny asked.
The person chuckled. "Manny, when I get this envelope, I will not only get this person off of the streets, but I will reward you with a grand sum of $5000."
Manny's mouth dropped open. "I don't believe it. All I have to do is get this envelope and you'll give me $5000???"
The person nodded. "True, but it isn't that simple. You'll need to sneak into the teacher's lounge and get the envelope without getting noticed. That envelope is crucial and important to not only the cops, but it will get Archie Simpson out of prison."
Manny nodded. "Do I need a key to get into the mailboxes? And what mailbox is it?"
"Mailbox 13. Its in the 3rd row down, first on the left. It's easy to find. The key however, is cleverly hidden."
"Why is it hidden?"
"It is hidden because the teachers know of that envelope and if they gained access to that mailbox I would be in serious trouble."
"How so?"
"I'd rather not explain. Let's just say that there is crucial information about the school's hiding places and security in that envelope. They don't know that I have it and they never will if you're careful enough. I trusted you because you have been successfully sneaking around with Sean behind everyone's backs before Emma and Craig found out. You're very sneaky and I trusted you the most with this task."
"Wait…How do you know about Sean and I?"
The person chuckled. "I have my ways."
Manny shivered from the cold. "I'll take your word for it. So where is the key?"
"I placed it in the gym storage room in the 3rd cabinet inside of a hollowed out basketball. The key is gold and has the number 13 engraved in it. It is rather small and has a small green alien key chain attached to it. It shouldn't be hard to find."
Manny nodded. "I'll do that for you. When do you need the envelope?"
"Tomorrow night. It's crucial we get the envelope before the party."
"How do you know…"
"Don't ask," the person said, cutting her off. "But I better be going. I'll be here tomorrow night at 8:45. Do not be a second late."
She nodded. "I'll do that for you. Good bye."
The person nodded and ran off into the darkness.
Manny just stood there and ran home, trying to remember every detail about the finding of the key and the envelope. She hoped that everything would go smoothly because she desperately wanted to know who shot Craig.
Author's Note: That's the best I can do before I go and I anxiously await your reviews, comments, and guesses about who the person is. I have simply enjoyed getting the past reviews and I hope for many more. Review!
