Chapter 2 - Tracking Down The Clues
Martin, Diana and Java found themselves in Centenial Park just off Front street. They traveled to the apartment complexes near the park.Their wanderings led them to Centenial Park Place apartment.
"Hmm...the parents of two of the missing people live here, let's start at this point," Martin said wisely and pulled open the doors.
"Which apartment?" Diana asked looking at the list.
"Look for the name Fanchenzo," Martin told her and fiddled with his hair.
"Number 203, let's go," Diana buzzed the apartment and the people inside let them in gratefully. Diana took her time getting into the elevater.
"What's taking so long Diana?" Martin asked curiously.
"Well, I was just thinking, do we have to talk to all the people's relatives?" Diana stepped into the elevator in deep thought.
"Java want to know too," Java spoke up.
"I don't know, I suppose we do. That doesn't leave us with enough time to finish our bet does it?" Martin asked. He tapped his foot. "Man! This elevator is slow!"
"Paitence is a virtue Martin," Diana replied.
"Yeah...so?" Martin stomped his sisters head into the floor.
"OW!" Diana got up and stayed quiet. The elevator stopped to a halt and the doors opened revealing a very pretty hall with red carpet and egg white coloured walls. Pictures of the water front hung on various areas of the wall. They went to the front end of the hall and knocked on the door marked 203.
:"Hello?" the timid voice of a woman came through the partly opened door.
"Hello ma'am. We're from the agency...may we speak with you?" Diana asked as sweetly as possible.
"Very well," the door opened fully. The hall way into the rest of the rooms was a pale beige colour, it had a black shoe rack opposite to the white closet doors. "Please put your shoes on the rack, I don't like my floors messy." The woman had tanned skin with long black hair and pale grey eyes. She had dark circles under her eyes suggesting that she hadn't slept in a while and her hands shook badly.
"Thank you," Martin sighed, happy that he was allowed to get off his tired, lazy feet.
"Would you like a drink, my husband will be home in an hour so you'll have to leave quickly. He doesn't like company after he just gets home from work," Mrs. Fanchenzo informed.
"No thank you, we'll make this quick." Martin took in the look of the living room. A pale blue leather sofa and pale blue chairs. The walls were once again a pale beige and the flat screen tv was turned off.
"What have you come for?" Mrs. Fanchenzo lowered a tray onto the table.It had four glass cups, a saucer of chocolate chip cookies and a piture of pink lemonade all across it. The woman's hands shook furiously like she was scared.
"My name is Martin Mystery, this is Diana Lombard and this is Java," Martin pointed out his friends and sighed, "How long ago did your daughters disapear?"
"They vanished yesterday on a trip around the bay on a boat ride. It was a friends birthday and it was being celebrated on their best friends large yaught her father owned. They were very happy." The woman sat down and poured herself a cup of lemonade and contuned, "I called Katie on her cell phone. The music was loud and Katie had to sceam to talk to me. I asked her where her sister was. She said that she was dancing with some guy.
"Then all of a sudden there was screams and cries of terror. I yelled to Katie, 'What's wrong?!' There was no answer. All I could hear was screaming and an oozing of some sort. I heard her yell, 'What is this stuff?!' Than the phone fell to the ground and I heard the oozing noise more cleary." Mrs. Fanchenzo sighed.
"Thank you, we'll find them we promise," Martin stood up, "May we have a picture of them?"
"Of course, Katie has brown hair, Mary has pink," she pulled two pctures out of her pocket. Martin took them and hearts appeared in his eyes. The girls were twins, Katie had long brown hair and deep blue eyes. Her sister Mary had dark pink hair and deep blue eyes.
"Can we take a look in their rooms?" Diana asked.
"Yes. They share one. Careful not to move anything."
Their room was like two different spaces. Katie's had pictures of bands and celtic symbols. Mary had stuffed teddy bears and pink walls, Katie had black. There were two invitations for a birthday party for the day before. That story was confirmed and on the unmade bed was an article for today.
Yesterday a large boat disapeared out of the water. No one knows what happened but...
"Yada yada yada," Martin sighed and sat down. "Where to go now?"
Fallen: HEY! YEAH! ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE! U SHOULD BE HAPPY!
