Hello goodbye
4 Chapter
Heading down the long hallway the ancient man had pointed to, kagome tried once again to count all the doors and failed. Local legend said that there were 100 doors, and although kagome didn't think that it was possible for a corridor to be that long, it certainly seemed that way.
At last, she saw the end of the corridor and hurried toward it. Rushing through the door, she found herself surrounded by shelves and shelves of microfilm. Where to start? She wondered.
"Hello, young lady. What are you looking for?" A medium-aged woman with piercing blue eyes stood there. Strange, thought kagome. I've never seen her before. I thought I knew all the librarians. Suddenly, she noticed that she was cold, and pulled on a sweater, from her backpack.
"Actually, I'm looking for a murder case in the newspaper obituaries," she said. The woman looked at kagome sharply, her smile fading a little.
"What year?" she asked.
Kagome blushed. "I'm not really sure," she admitted.
'"Well, there was a very strange case in 1990," said the woman.
"Where?" kagome asked.
"It was kept quiet, hushed up, but I know that it happened in a strange, big house made out of glass on 32nd Street,"
That's my house! Kagome thought. "What's your name?" she asked instead. The 15-year old girl had a feeling that she shouldn't tell the woman what she thought. This encounter was strange enough already, and who knows how she would react if the blue-eyed person knew why she was here.
"Mrs. Glenbaker. Any record of the incident should be in that reel," Mrs. Glenbaker said and pointed to the appropriate reel. "I suppose you know how to use the readers?"
Elizabeth nodded, and sat down, pulling off her knapsack. Mrs. Glenbaker started to say something but stopped abruptly when she heard footsteps entering the room.
"I'm sorry, have to leave-"
Elizabeth glanced up from the microfilm reader. The old lady was gone.
