In Today's Case: Cute Guy Murder

Tess walked out of her room dressed in her school uniform with Rachel following her. "Are you sure you don't need help Tess?" Rachel asked. Tess looked back at Rachel.

"Just because I'm no crutches doesn't make me cripple." Tess stated. Tess swung through the space of her crutches to reach the phone of Richard's desk. She picked it up. Richard was resting on his desk with beer cans around him. "Hello Chief. Yes it's me... the case? It's over... I didn't turn him into the police... I didn't do that either I killed him. HEY! WHAT WAS I SUPPOSE TO DO LET HIM KILL A LITTLE BOY?! Gr... never mind Chief I'm on vacation now so don't expect me to do anymore cases for you while I'm here all right? Buh bye." Tess hung up the phone. She turned toward Rachel. "Lets go." Tess stated as she tilted her head to the door. Rachel nodded her head.

"Wait for me." Conan said as he walked over to them. Tess walked out the door. She looked at the stair case. She sighed. Conan looked up at her. "I'll carry those for you." Conan stated. Tess looked at him and smiled.

"Thanks." Tess said. Rachel placed her hands on Tess' back and upper chest. Tess pulled her crutches from underneath her arms and handed them to Conan. Conan placed them on his shoulder. Rachel helped Tess walk down that stairs. Really... HOP down the stairs. When they got there. Tess got her crutches back from Conan. They walked down the street when...

"Hey! Rachel! Tess!" Rachel and Tess turned around at the sound of their names. There was Sirena. Running up to them. Sirena walked next to Tess and Conan walked in front of them. "Tess I saw you on the news this morning." Sirena stated. Tess rolled her eyes.

"Really? What did they say about me THIS time?" Tess asked. Rachel looked at Sirena.

"Nothing bad I hope." Rachel stated. Sirena shook her head.

"Only that you're being charged with murder." Sirena stated. Tess stopped. Rachel and Sirena looked at Tess.

"Is something wrong?" Rachel asked. Conan turned around to face Tess.

"Yeah..." Tess stated. All of them watched Tess slop over even more then she did when she walked with her crutches. "I'm going to hurt Inspector Maguire..." Tess stated as she walked on. Conan stepped out of her way.

'I guess I have to step in now.' Conan thought to himself. Rachel, Tess, and Sirena dropped Conan off at school. Once they were out of sight Conan ran down the street to the pay phone he set his bow to his voice. He dialed a number. The number started to ring.

"Hello?" It was Inspector Maguire.

"Hello Inspector Maguire. It's me Jimmy."

"Hey Jimmy how's it going?"

"I'm good. But I don't think you should be charging Tess with murder." Jimmy stated.

"How did you...?"

"Never mind how I know."

"But Jimmy. She killed a man."

"She kill a mass murderer to save that kid's life. Rethink that Inspector." Jimmy said.

"All right we'll drop the charges." Inspector Maguire stated. Jimmy nodded his head.

"Good." Jimmy said. Conan then hung up the phone. Conan placed his hands behind his head. "Tess... you owe me." Conan stated as he walked back to school.

Rachel helped Tess to her locker. Tess pulled out her books as she balanced herself on her crutches. Rachel watched as Tess looked threw her locker.

"Where is it?" Tess asked herself. Rachel leaned forward to look inside her locker. It was messy paper everywhere inside her locker.

"Tess, maybe you should clean out you're locker." Rachel stated. Tess looked at Rachel with an odd look. Rachel backed off. Tess looked back into her locker.

"AH! There it is!" Tess yelled as she pulled out her history book. Rachel reached out to take it. Tess handed it to her. "Rachel are you sure you can carry all that?" Tess asked. Rachel nodded her head.

"Yeah." Rachel answered.

"Okay..." Tess said as she swung through her crutches with the first step. Rachel was having a hard time because she was carrying her science book and Tess' science. She was also carrying hers and Tess' history book and notebooks. Then Rachel bumped into someone falling onto the ground. Rachel rubbed her lower back.

"Oh I'm sorry." Someone said as they bent down to help Rachel pick up all the things she was carrying.

"It's okay." Rachel stated. Rachel looked up to see a really REALLY cute boy. He had dark tan skin with black hair. He handed her one more book. Rachel blushed as she took it. "Thanks."

"You're welcome. My name is Johnny." He said.

"I'm Rachel."

"Well Rachel, don't you think that's a lot of things to be carrying?" Johnny asked. Rachel shook her head.

"No I'm also carrying me cousin's things. She over there in the crutches." Rachel stated. Johnny turned around to look at Tess. Tess was down the hall waiting for Rachel. Tess smiled and waved at her.

"Tess Moore? She's you're cousin? That means your..." Johnny turned toward Rachel.

"Yeah I'm Rachel Moore." Rachel stated.

"Well, I'm sorry about Tess... you know she might go to jail or..."

"Juvie Hall I know." Rachel interrupted.

"Rachel come on!" Tess yelled. Rachel stood up.

"Coming Tess!" Johnny stood up after her. "I'll see you later?"

"Yeah." Johnny walked around Rachel and headed to class. Rachel ran toward Tess trying not to drop the book again. Rachel and Tess looked at each other. They turned to watch Johnny walk away.

"Wow... he's nice looking..." Tess stated as she kept on watching. Rachel nodded her head.

"Yeah I know..." Tess and Rachel looked at each other and giggled a little. They then headed to class.

At Conan's school; Amy walked up to Conan. "I heard about Tess." Amy said. Conan looked up from his paper.

"How do you know?" Conan asked.

"Well duh! She was on the news this morning." George said as he and Mitch walked over.

"Yeah. I don't think she should go to jail." Mitch stated.

"Are you saying that because I live with her?" Conan asked Mitch. Amy shook her head.

"No way Conan! She saved you're life she shouldn't go to jail!" Amy yelled. Conan looked away.

'Well, she's not.' Conan thought.

After school Tess and Rachel walked their way to Conan's school. Rachel and Tess waited outside the schools gate when Rachel looked over to see Johnny. Rachel waved her hand in the air.

"Johnny!" she called. Johnny looked over. He smiled.

"Hey Rachel!" Rachel ran over to him. Tess sighed.

"Who's that guy?" Tess looked down at see Conan.

"That's Johnny. Rachel just met him." Tess answered. Conan nodded his head.

"Oh." They watched her for a while. They then walked over. Johnny looked down at Conan.

"Oh hi." Johnny said. Conan smiled.

"Hi."

"Johnny this is Conan." Rachel said. Johnny nodded his head.

"JOHNNY!!" someone yelled. They all looked over to the street to see a girl wearing the same school uniform as Tess and Rachel. She had long brown hair with silver hoop ear rings. Johnny looked over at Rachel.

"I got to go, that's my girlfriend I'll see you tomorrow in school." Johnny told Rachel. Rachel nodded her head.

"Okay bye Johnny!" Rachel yelled as he ran off toward the girl.

"Why don't you just ask him for his number?" Conan asked. Rachel looked down at Conan.

"Don't be silly Conan. He's got a girlfriend." Rachel stated. Tess shrugged her shoulders.

"Rachel just get his number, you like him we can tell." Tess stated.

"Really? Is it that noticeable?" Rachel asked. Conan and Tess nodded their heads. "Oh..."

"Come on... you can get his number tomorrow at school." Tess stated. She started to head home. "I just want to get home." Tess added. Rachel and Conan followed behind her. When they got home Tess sat down onto the couch. She laid her crutches down on the floor placing her feet on them. Richard looked up at Tess.

"Oh Tess." Richard called. Tess looked at Richard.

"Yeah?"

"Inspector Maguire called. He said they dropped the charges." He told her. Tess and Rachel's faces lit up.

"Really?" Tess asked with a smile. Richard nodded his head.

"Yeah, Jimmy called and saved your tail." Richard added as he placed his head on his desk. Rachel slammed her fists by her side.

"OH! HE HAS TIME TO CALL TO SAVE TESS BUT HE CAN'T CALL ME?! WHAT A JERK!" Rachel yelled as she stormed away to her room. Tess and Conan watched him. Tess leaned forward to Conan's ear.

"Thanks." Tess whispered. Conan pulled himself away and leaned toward her ear.

"You owe me." Conan stated. Tess sat up as she nodded her head. Then the phone started to ring. Richard picked up the phone.

"Richard Moore's Office..." Richard sprung up from his resting position, "oh! Inspector! Yes... yeah okay we'll be there." Richard hung up the phone. "Yes!"

"Another case?" Tess asked. Richard nodded his head.

"Oh yeah!" Richard yelled as he grabbed his car. Tess stood up as she placed the crutches under her arms.

"All right then lets go." Tess said as she walked to the door. They all got into the car and drove over to the house. They walked into the house to see Johnny dead lying on the floor with his back up against the couch. Rachel placed her hand over her mouth. Rachel stared at the dead body of Johnny.

"Johnny..." Rachel said softly. Tess looked at Rachel. She took her hand off of he crutch then she placed it on her shoulder.

"It's okay Rachel." Tess told her. Inspector Maguire walked over to Richard.

"I'm glad that you're here Richard." Inspector Maguire stated. Richard nodded his head.

"I'm glad too." Richard smiled. Inspector Maguire raised an eyebrow. He looked over at Rachel.

"What's the matter Rachel?" Inspector Maguire asked. Tess looked at him.

"She had just met Johnny today." Tess stated. Inspector Maguire nodded his head.

"That's the girl!" they all turned around to see the Johnny's girlfriend. She stormed her way over to Rachel. "You're the girl that Johnny is cheating on me with!!!
She yelled as she got in Rachel's face. Rachel blinked her eyes a couple times. Conan looked at her.

'Last time we seen her she was wearing silver earrings. What did she do with them?' Conan thought. Tess got in between Rachel and Johnny's girlfriend.

"Look here missy! Rachel had just met you're boyfriend today!" Tess yelled. "We don't even know you!" Tess added the girl crossed her arms as she flipped her hair backward.

"My name is Lisa... AND YOU DON"T HAVE TO YELL AT ME CRIPPLE!!!" she yelled. Tess grabbed onto the handles of her crutches.

"DON'T CALL ME CRIPPLE!" Tess yelled. Tess and Lisa were about to go at it when Inspector Maguire held off Lisa and Richard and Rachel held off Tess. Lisa and Tess yelled at each other back and forth.

"AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE BLACK HAIR!!!!"

"I LIKE MY BLACK HAIR WITCH!!!"

"GRRR!!!!" Conan looked back at them. He rolled his eyes.

'At least they're holding Tess back.' Conan thought. Conan walked toward the body. He looked down. He then saw something shine in Johnny's hand. He went to grab it when the yelling stopped and he left someone grab onto him and lift him up. Conan turned his head to see Richard.

"STAY AWAY!" Richard let go of Conan and booted him in his butt. Conan bounced up into the air and landed at Rachel and Tess' feet. Conan rubbed his lower back. Tess sighed. She swung herself around Conan and toward Richard. Tess looked at Richard. Then Tess lifted up her crutch and smack Richard off the head with it.

"STOP BEING SO MEAN!!!!" Tess yelled. Tess turned around to face Inspector Maguire. "Who are the suspects?" Tess asked. Inspector Maguire pulled out a piece of paper form his pocket and read the list.

"Well we have his mother and father but they're not here and Lisa." He answered. Lisa slammed her hands by her side.

"WHAT! I DIDN'T KILL MY BOYFRIEND!!!!" Lisa yelled. Tess smiled.

"You could've." Tess stated.

"Calling me a murderer?!" Lisa yelled as she stepped toward Tess.

"You're slow at things!" Tess yelled. Lisa and Tess glared at each other. Conan looked at both of them.

'Her attitude tells me not to get on her bad side.' Conan thought. As Lisa and Tess argued and Richard, Rachel, and Inspector Maguire hold them back Conan decided that this would be a great time to check out the body. Conan walked over quietly. He looked at the body. Conan the saw the thing shine again. He picked it up. He looked at it to see it was a silver hoop earring. Conan's mouth dropped. He then pulled out his stun watch. He pointed it Richard and shot. Richard walked backwards and sat onto the arm of the couch as Conan ran to the other side of the couch hiding himself.

"Everyone stop!" Richard yelled. They all looked at Richard. "I know who the murderer is." Everyone's mouth dropped. Tess watched as she glanced over on the other side of the couch. She smiled. "Conan come here."

"Right." Conan came out from behind the couch and placed the earring in his hand without anyone seeing.

"Now... GET LOST!"

"Okay." Conan ran back behind the couch.

"Does this belong to you Lisa?" when they all looked at the earring Lisa froze. "I found this on Johnny's body when I kicked Conan away from it. Now since I know that Tess and Rachel don't wear earrings... the only left is you."

"N... no... that's not my earring." Lisa stated. Tess and Rachel looked hard to the earring. Rachel pointed to it.

"That's the earring she was wearing when Johnny ran over to her early today." Rachel stated. Tess nodded her head. She turned toward Lisa.

"You're the murderer." Tess stated. Lisa started to back up.

"You probably killed Johnny because of one motive; you thought he was cheating on you." Lisa then fell to her knees.

"Oh... you're right I did kill Johnny..." Lisa stated.

"You don't get anything out of a relationship if you go around killing them." Richard stated.
