Chapter 8-The Note
Hey, people! shifts eyes I killed someone off! Who'd I kill? Who'd I kill? Oh! Abby...? Well, you'll just have to find out what happened! NOTE: This is the beginning of the really exciting stuff! You'll just have to see!

Nigel stepped forward.
"Abby..." he whispered.
They four stepped to the crowd and squeezed through. The yellow taping of "Crime Scene Do Not Cross" blocked them from getting closer. They saw blood stains on the cement next to the candy store. The CSI workers were investigating. Keiko hid her face. She didn't want any officials to see her.
"Hey! What happened?" Nigel called out to the police. They simply ignored him.
"Hello! Dude, What happened here!" Hoagie asked.
Getting impatient, Nigel went under the yellow tape and went to the scene. One of the officials saw him.
"Excuse me, young man, but this is for the grown ups to handle," he said. "Now go play with your little friends."
"But that's my friend! She's hurt! What happened to her?" Nigel demanded more than questioned.
"Nothing that we can't handle..." He said before his walkie-talkie crackled. "Yeah, Johnson? Okay, I'll be right there..." He turned to Numbuh 1. "Hey, little fellah, stay right here. One of my co-workers will ask you a couple of questions."
Nigel nodded in response as the man left the other way. He turned around to the others and made a movement for them to come, in response they rushed to him.
"So what happened?" Keiko asked.
"They didn't tell me," Nigel said sounding rather annoyed. "The man just said to stay here and another man will ask us some questions."
"Those stupid adults... trying to let us kids not know anything..." Wally complained.
"Yeah! Like about s--" Hoagie remembered that they didn't know. "Uh, never mind... The, err, guy is coming..."
The man coming up to them was in uniform, and had a moustache.
"Oh, fuck, there are four kids..." the man muttered. He spoke up. "Hi, guys, I'm Officer Leonard, but call me Lenny, ok?"
"Quit with the small crap, and tell us what happened to our friend!" Wally demanded.
"If you want," the Officer said. "Your little friend, Abigail, had gotten shot. Fortunately to you, she got hit in the knee cap, letting her still live..."
"So she's alive?" Nigel said happily.
"Yeah..." the man said. Then he noticed Keiko, who was trying to hide her face. "Have I seen you before?"
She didn't look at him straight in the face, her face was looking down. "I-I d-don't thi-think s-so..."
"Nonsense, look up..." He said now bending down.
"Err," she said, closing her eyes shut as she slowly put her head up.
The others were confused on what was going on. Did Officer Lenny know her? She opened her eyes and he silently took in a gulp of air. He looked at the other three before he looked at her again. He looked at the group of kids again and stood up straight.
"Well, sorry, I must've mistaken you..." He said, every bit of his face looking serious and almost in a far-off look. "Now, I must ask you kids a couple of questions."
Something just happened between the two of them. Wally knew it. He saw it. Her eyes were wide, her skin was pale. The man was avoiding the subject.
"Where was she going?" Lenny asked.
Wally answered, "She was bringin' candy from the candy store..."
"Ok, children, do you have any 'enemies' like a bully or something?" he asked them impatiently. "Any that would attack her?"
"Oh! We got a lot of enemies... The Delightful Children, for instance... Father, that's the Delightful Children's dear old daddy... Her sister Cree... Sticky Beard... But only Father would resort to shooting her..." said Nigel.
"Maybe a sniper? A stray bullet and stuff?" Hoagie suggested.
"Well, there was a note..." he stated. "And it sort of threatened... someone, we don't exactly know who..."
"Officer Lenny, may we see this note?" Nigel asked.
"Well no, for it is currently being investigated, but I could tell you what it said," he said.
Officer Lenny got a paper from his pocket and gave it to the four. His walkie-talkie shook. "Parker, we need you here..." came a voice.
He then said to the KND, "Thank you children for your time... Now, would you please get off the investigation site? I must leave."
The kids went through the crowd. Nigel clutching the paper. They stopped and looked at the note. Nigel read:
My sweet dear,
Keep on guessing, you're not too far. Until all is killed, I will reveal myself from afar. Killing spree I did, killing spree she shall. I know where you are, just try to hide well.
Someone is looking upon you. And they would soon attack. Never would I stop, never 'till I get what I seek then catch. But I know you would run; I know you would hide. And all your little friends will try to save but ends to die. Now remember, catch me if you can, but I'll get you first, my sweet child above, just run, run, run but end up to die.
The four was confused at the note they read. They looked at each other.
"What does it all mean?" Hoagie asked the rest of the gang.
"Well, 'ow am I supposed ta know?" Wally replied.
"Yes, it really isn't all that easy to figure out," Nigel said right afterwards. He turned to Keiko. "Do you know?"
She just stared at the piece of paper and thought with all her might. She looked up and said, "No clue..." Although she had the strangest feeling that she knew. Her heart slightly pounded at those words of the letter.
"Hey, Keiko, are you okay?" Wally looked at her with sad eyes.
She stared at him for a second but then shook off the thoughts.
"Uh, yeah, everything is fine..." she replied giving him a warm smile.
"Well that's good..."
They started heading on to the Tree house, looking back to the investigation site. And a little voice in Keiko's head said "Don't look back; someone is waiting for you..."
And when they reached the tree house, the four wondered about this mystery...
(Insert random conversation with mind.)
