In Today's Case: Cruise Murder
Tess and Darien sat on the opposite couch with a game set in front of them. Conan was out with his friends and like always Rachel was cleaning. Rachel was disrupted from her cleaning by the ringing of Richard's phone. Richard was still sleeping so she decided to answer it.
"Hello… oh hi Sirena!" Rachel said smiling. Tess and Darien looked over as they listened to Rachel. "Uh huh. Oh really! We can come? How many tickets do you have? Oh I know you can bring Darien. He's an old friend of Tess's who's no living with us. When? Today! Alright see you then." Rachel hung up the phone as she started to put away the vacuum.
"What's going on?" Tess asked.
"And where am I going?" Darien asked after Tess. Rachel smiled as she looked at them.
"We're going on a cruise!" she shouted out. Tess and Darien smiled.
"I'll go pack my things!" Darien shouted as he hopped right off of the couch and ran to his room.
"What about Conan? We can't leave him here with Richard… can we?" Tess asked knowing it was a bad idea to leave him here with Richard. Richard would abuse him no doubt about it.
"No we're not going to leave him here. He's coming with us!" Rachel answered. Just then Conan had walked through the door.
"Where am I going?" Conan asked as he walked toward Tess and Rachel.
"We're going on a cruise." Tess answered. Conan blinked.
"With who?" he asked.
"Sirena invited us all." Rachel answered as she disappeared into her room.
"Except for Richard that is." Tess said. Conan watched as Tess disappeared into her room. He shrugged his shoulders. There was only a week left till school started and he thought this would be a good time to get away before school started.
They were all packed. They stood outside for Sirena when she finally came.
"Hey Rachel!" Sirena shouted. Rachel looked over at her and smiled. She waved and walked to her.
"Hey Sirena." Rachel said. Tess, Darien, and Conan stood by the house as they watched the two walk towards them. "Sirena, Tess will be here for another year." Sirena looked at Tess and smiled.
"Hey Tess. How are ya?" Sirena asked. Tess smiled and nodded her head.
"Good you?" she asked.
"I'm fine. Now! Let's go! Off to the cruise!" Sirena ran down the street as everyone followed.
They got a ride the rest of the way on a bus. When they got there they got off of the bus and looked at the ship that they would be spending a whole entire week on. It was huge and white. They looked at the boat that must've been fifty feet tall. They walked up the ramp after they got their tickets checked.
Tess, Rachel, and Sirena walked into a room. The floor had a blue rug and white walls. There was one full sized bed on the left side of the room and on the other side towards the right was a bunk bed. By the end of the bunk beds was a door that was clear to them the bathroom. Sirena tossed her bag onto the full sized bed as Rachel and Tess walked toward the bunk bed.
"Who said you got dibs on the full sized bed?" Tess asked as she placed her bag at the end of the bunk bed.
"Well, I don't have a family member here so therefore. I get the full sized." Sirena said. Tess sighed. She didn't bother to argue with her considering she wasn't going to win. She looked at Rachel.
"Do you want top or bottom?" Tess asked. Rachel placed her bag onto the bottom bunk and smiled.
"I want the bottom if you don't mind." Rachel answered smiling. Tess smiled back as she tossed her bag up onto the top bunk.
"No I don't mind. Io was going to take the top anyway." Tess said as she climbed up.
Conan and Darien entered their room that was right across the hall from the girls. They looked around so see it was the same. Darien and Conan decided to use the bunk beds and to place their bags onto the full sized bed instead of arguing about it.
"So we're here for a week." Darien said as he looked at Conan from the top bunk.
"Yup." Conan said as he laid down onto the bottom bunk.
"And what a week it's going to be." Darien said smiling. Conan looked at him funny.
"What do you have planned?" Conan asked as she sat up.
"Well, since we're right across the hall from the girls. I was thinking that we could place a prank on them."
"Darien, do you know how much trouble we would get into with Tess if you did that?" Conan asked. Darien shrugged his shoulders.
"She wouldn't hurt me." Darien said. Then there was a knock on the door. Conan got up and walked to the door and answered it to see Sirena, Rachel, and Tess standing there in their bathing suits.
"Come on." Tess said.
"We're going swimming." Rachel added.
"Yeah this is going to be fun." Sirena said with a smile on her face.
Darien and Conan got into their bathing suits and took off running to the pool on the deck. Rachel and Sirena laid in the lounge chairs. Darien and Conan were in the pool and Tess… well she's going to jump off of the diving board.
Tess jumped and did a flip landing in the pool without a splash. Rachel and Sirena clapped as Tess came back up.
"Thanks for the claps." Tess said smiling. Suddenly someone grabbed onto Tess's ankle and pulled her under. Rachel and Sirena jumped off of their chairs and looked in the pool. Then someone came flying out of the pool onto the deck and that person was Darien. Tess came back up flipping her hair behind her gasping for air. Rachel, Sirena, and Conan started to laugh as Tess and Darien soon joined them.
"You guys look like you're having fun." Someone said. They soon stopped to see a woman standing there in a purple bikini with a boy about Conan's age and height standing next to her.
"Yeah." Tess said, "we should be having fun since school will be starting soon."
"Yeah well fun isn't always a good thing." The woman said, "do I know you?" she asked Rachel.
Rachel blinked, "well you might have seen me in the newspaper next to my dad." Rachel said.
"The only man I see in the newspaper is Richard Moore." The woman said.
"And that's her dad whose my uncle." Tess said as she pulled herself out of the water sitting on the edge. Conan swam over as her placed his arms onto the deck.
"Can your son come swim with us?" Conan asked. The little boy next to the woman looked up at her. She looked down and nodded her head.
"Go ahead Sota." She said.
"Sota. That's a nice name." Sirena said. Tess and Rachel nodded their heads agreeing with her. Darien looked at the woman without a word. He felt something wasn't right about her.
"Excuse me miss…" Darien said as the woman looked at her, "can we have your name?"
"Yeah so that way we call for you when we're done swimming." Rachel said. The woman smiled.
"My name is Miss Kasknet." She answered as she walked away lying herself down onto a lounge chair.
"Come on in Sota." Tess said as she pushed herself off of the wall of the pool and disappeared into the water. Conan turned around and dove into the water disappearing as well. Darien then jumped in followed by Sota getting Rachel and Sirena wet.
"HEY!" they shouted out as all of them popped their heads out of the water laughing.
"So Sota, how old are you?" Tess asked as she did a back float.
"I'm 7." He answered. Tess turned her head and smiled.
"Really?" Tess asked. Sota nodded his head.
"You're kind of short to be 7." Darien said to him. Tess dunked him holding him under as Darien's hands moved about above the water.
"Ignore him." Tess said smiling. Sota was looking at them funny and then shook his head.
"What grade are you in?" Conan asked.
"I'll be going into 2nd but my mother home schools me." Sota answered. Conan nodded his head.
"You look like you should be in 3rd grade or 4th." Tess said as she finally let Darien up.
"Yeah well…" Sota stopped as he looked over and saw a man dressed in a suit. "Oh-no." he said. He swam to a side of the pool and ran to his mother. Tess, Conan, and Darien blinked as Rachel and Sirena watched him. Sota ran to him mother and started to freak out. Miss Kasknet wrapped a towel around him and they both ran off. the man wearing the suit walked over to them.
"Excuse me." He said. They all looked at him.
"Have you seen a little boy by the name of Sota Kasknet?" he asked. They didn't answer.
"If you show us a picture maybe we can help." Tess said. The man sighed.
"I don't have a picture. Sorry I bothered you." he said. He stood upright and walked away.
"That was odd." Rachel said sticking her feet into the water. Tess looked at her cousin and nodded her head.
"Yeah…" Tess said as he voice trailed off. Darien didn't say anything. He got out of the water and wrapped a towel around his waist.
"I'll be right back." He said to them. Tess looked up at he old time friend and was about to get out.
"Where are you going?" she asked oddly. Darien looked at her.
"Back to the room." Darien said. he then walked off to the direction of the room. Tess and Conan looked at each other. Conan nodded his head as he hopped out of the water and ran back to the room.
"Conan! Where are you going?" Rachel asked. Conan looked back waving without an answer.
"This is getting odd." Sirena said as she crossed her arms and sat down onto the chair she was lying on.
"I agree." Tess said. she turned around and dove into the water. 'Something fishy is going on here…' Tess thought.
Darien looked around as he turned back around and went into the direction where Sota and Miss Kasknet ran off to. He got there without anyone seeing him. He finally came to a room where he heard voices in the room.
"But… mom we can't keep running from him." It was Sota. Darien pressed his ear up against the door and listened.
"We can and we will." She said, "I don't know how he keeps on finding us." She added.
"Maybe he knows we're here. He might've gotten a good look at me and plus… where are we going to go? The boat is already at sea." Sota said to him mother.
"You're right son… I guess we're going to have to come face to face with him soon." She said. Darien backed away from the door and walked back to the room.
Conan entered the room leaving the door opened. He looked around.
"Darien?" he called out but Darien wasn't in sight. He walked to the bathroom door and knocked. "Darien? Are you in there?" he asked as she opened the door. But there was no one. He turned around to see that man standing there in the door way.
"Hi. Are you looking for someone?" he asked. Conan walked past him as the man got out of his way shutting the door behind him.
"Yeah… I was just looking for a friend. That's all." Conan said to him as he faced him.
"Sota Kasknet is about you're height. I could've sworn that you were with him in the pool." The man said to him. Conan shook his head.
"No, you were thinking of the wrong person." Conan said as he turned around and walked away. He looked back at the man from the corner of his eye. 'Why is this man looking for Sota?' Conan asked himself.
Conan got back to the pool to see Tess, Rachel, and Sirena sitting on the chairs drinking some water. He walked over to them. Tess looked at him as she sat up along with Rachel and Sirena.
"Conan, where did you go?" Rachel asked.
"I went back to the room. I thought I forgot my towel but its right there." Conan said picking up his towel off of the deck. Tess stood up placing her glass of water onto the deck floor and stood up wrapping her towel around her waist.
"I'm going back to room real quick. Conan want to keep me company?" Tess asked. Conan nodded his head as Tess and Conan walked off. Rachel watched them as she turned and looked at Sirena.
"Sirena." Rachel called. Sirena looked at her as she removed her sunglasses to look at her friend.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"Do you think something odd is going on between Tess and Conan?" Rachel asked. Sirena shook her head.
"No why?"
"Because they're always together… don't you find that odd?" Rachel asked. Sirena shook her head.
"What I find odd is how cute that Darien kid is." Sirena said as she leaned back into her chair. Rachel looked back in the direction of Tess and Conan.
"Did Darien really go back to the room?" Tess asked. Conan shook his head.
"No. He didn't." Conan answered.
"Then he must've went to go see where Miss Kasknet and Sota ran off to." Tess said looking down at the floor.
"Tess," Conan started, "that man that was looking for Sota. He stopped by my room while I was in there."
Tess looked at Conan, "he did? What did he say to you?" Tess asked.
"Nothing much really. He just said that he could've sworn he saw him with me but I told him it was someone else." Conan answered.
"We need to figure out what's going on here." Tess said as Conan agreed.
A week has gone by and the ship was docking back in the bay. They were all packing their things and left the rooms. They walked back to the entrance where they first stepped onto the boat when they met up with Miss Kasknet and Sota.
"Hey Conan." Sota said. Conan smiled.
"Hey Sota. Where were you for the rest of the trip? I didn't see you around." Conan said to him.
"Well my mom got sea sick so I stayed with her." Sota answered. Suddenly the bridge that people were walking off of was shaking and the boat honked its horn. Before Sota and Conan could step off of the boat and onto the bridge is was moving. Tess was already on the bridge before any of them were. The boat started to pull away after the rest of the visitors got off. Tess fell backwards as they bridge started to slip off of the desk of the boat.
"Tess!" Rachel called. Tess looked back at them. She searched her bag for her gun and stood up leaving her bag behind. She ran to the boat but the bridge had fell and Tess went with it. But Tess jumped and grabbed onto the side of the boat. Darien and Conan pulled her in. Once Tess was on the boat she stood up and walked to the edge to see that the boat was leaving the dock and Taking her, Conan, Rachel, Sirena, Darien, Miss Kasknet, and Sota with it. Tess turned and looked at everyone.
"I'm going to the bridge!" tess shouted as she took off running. Conan followed. Tess and Conan got there and swung the door open to see that the captain and the crew were dead. Tess looked down at Conan.
"We got a problem." Tess said. Conan nodded his head.
"Agreed."
Soon the day turned into night. They went back to the girl's room. Tess shut the door after everyone was inside. She locked the door behind her. she turned and looked at everyone. Sirena, Miss Kasknet, and Rachel were sitting on the full sized bed. Darien, Sota, and Conan were sitting on the bottom bunk. Tess looked at her gun as she slipped it into her belt and walked over to them all.
"We have a problem." Tess said.
"Like what?" Sirena asked.
"Well the crew is dead and there's no one to drive the boat back to the dock." Tess answered.
"So we're just drifting off into sea?" Sota asked. Tess nodded her head.
"Yes." She answered.
Rachel stood up, "so we're stuck on a boat with murderer?" Rachel asked frightened a little. Tess nodded her head. Rachel sat back down as she looked out the window. The stars shined brightly.
"I'll go look around to see if there's anyone else on the boat." Tess said as she walked toward the door.
"Wait." Tess turned and looked at Darien who was standing up. "You can't go by yourself."
"And why not?" Tess asked as she placed her hand onto the doorknob.
"Because you could get hurt." Darien said.
"I've gotten hurt once before. I'll be fine." Tess said. she then opened the door and left the room. She walked down the hallway and disappeared into the darkness.
"Why is she like that?" Darien asked as he turned and looked at everyone.
"That's just Tess for you." Rachel said, "she's been like that since she was little. You should know that."
"Yeah but… there's a murderer out there! She could get killed!" Darien screamed.
"Don't worry about Tess. She'll be fine." Conan said. Darien looked at Conan. He looked into his eyes to see the Conan was telling the truth. Tess would be fine. But the feelings that Darien had for her rushed throughout his body causing him to worry. He wanted to run out of this room and go out to find her.
Tess walked around the cruise ship being careful where she was going. Her gun was at hand and close to her chest pointing up into the air. She looked around as she stepped carefully, trying not to make the slightest noise.
"Whose there?" someone called out. Tess came to a stop pointing her gun forward into darkness.
"You tell me who you are first." Tess demanded. The person crept out of the darkness to see it was the man in the suit. Once he saw the gun in Tess's hands he raised his hands into the air.
"Don't shoot me." He said. Tess blinked a few times. She lowered her gun slightly.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"John." He answered, "John Kasknet." Tess raised and eyebrow as she lowered her gun lower.
"Do you have a sister?" Tess asked. He nodded his head.
"Y-yes." He answered looking at Tess's gun. Tess slipped her gun into her belt and walked toward the man.
"Come on." she said grabbing onto his arm making him follow her.
"Where are you taking me? Are you going to kill me?" he asked. Tess looked back at the man. It was clear that he was afraid of her and there was no way he could've killed anyone.
"No I'm not going to kill you. I'm taking you to my room where the others are." Tess answered.
"There are… more here?" he asked. Tess nodded her head as she turned the corner.
"Yes." Tess answered.
Darien paced around in the room. They all watched him. Conan glanced at the door a couple of times. He too wished that Tess would've gone with someone. He didn't want her to get hurt just as much as Darien. But Tess was a stubborn one. She always wanted to protect everyone else and laid her life on the line.
The door opened. Darien stopped pacing as everyone stood up. Tess walked in with the man following behind her. Sota's eyes widened as he backed up towards the wall as his mother inched in front of him. Tess saw how threatened Miss Kasknet and Sota felt around him.
"This is John." Tess said, "I found him on the deck."
"Get him out of here!" Miss Kasknet shouted out. Everyone looked at her as John smiled looking at Sota.
"S-Sota." John stuttered as he came close to them. Miss Kasknet pushed John back.
"Get away from my son!" She shouted.
"Alright!" Sirena yelled before any other movement was made. "What's going on?" she asked. Miss Kasknet pointed to John.
"He wants my son!" she shouted.
"Why?" Conan asked.
"Because he is not her son he is mine." John answered, "sister. Hand him over you know he isn't your son." He added.
"Make me! He is my son!" the yelling of the two adults got louder and louder to the point where Sota standing behind him mother covered his ears.
"Alright! Enough!" tess shouted over the two adults screaming at each other. "This isn't the time to be arguing over who is the father and mother who!" Tess shouted out again.
"Tess is right." Darien stated, "we need to focus on how to get out of here and back to the docks."
"I doubt that the ship has drifted that far out into the sea." Rachel said.
"We might've." Sota said.
"What about the murderer running lose!" Miss Kasknet shouted.
"There's a murderer on this ship?" John asked shocked. Tess nodded her head.
"Yes, that's who I was looking for when I found you. Someone had killed the whole crew of this cruise ship." Tess said. Suddenly the lights had gone out. No one could see anything. There was a loud scream. Someone was pushed onto the ground making a lot of noise. Then the door was swung open hitting the wall of the room and slamming shut.
"Anyone have anything to light the room with?" Tess's voice came. A flashlight flicked on as it was handed to Tess. She looked down to see Sota was standing there. Tess shined the light on everyone. "Everyone all right?" Tess asked.
"Yeah… I think so…" Darien said rubbing his head as he stood up. Tess held out her hand and helped him up.
"I take it that it was you that was thrown onto the floor." Tess said to him. Darien nodded his head.
"Yeah…" he answered slowly.
"CONAN!" Tess shined the light on Rachel who was freaking out.
"What? What about Conan?" Tess asked franticly.
"He's gone! Conan's gone!" Rachel answered. Tess looked around the room. Rachel was right. Conan was gone.
"John's gone to." Sirena stated. Tess opened the bathroom door to see there was no one in there. She turned around.
"Who else is missing?" Tess asked. No one answered. "Alright. I'm going to call out your names. Say here when your called. Darien."
"Here."
"Sirena."
"Here."
"Rachel."
"Here."
"Sota."
"Here."
"Miss Kasknet."
"Here."
"Conan?"
There was no response.
"John?"
There was also no response to him either. Tess looked at the floor. She was worried. Jimmy might've been a tough kid but he's only a little boy's body what could he do against a murderer whose running around the ship.
"Alright. We need to split up and go looking for John and Conan." Tess said. "Rachel you go with Darien and Sirena. Sota and Miss Kasknet you go with each other."
"What about you Tess?" Darien asked as he approached her.
"I'll be fine." She said. she walked to the already opened door and took off running. "Conan! John!" Everyone else ran off as well. But Darien didn't stick with Rachel and Sirena he went after Tess to make sure she was going to be okay. But he also got lost himself.
Tess looked around as she stepping around carefully. She had her hand on her gun and the flashlight shining on every dark spot she came across. She walked around hoping that every corner she turned she would Jimmy. But no luck. Her worriment grew more and more as every corner she turned he was not found. Her feelings shifted around on her. She couldn't quite place her finger on one feeling. They all jumped around in her body and head telling her to do so many things but she didn't listen to any of them.
"Let me go!" Conan's voice came. Tess's eyes widened as she ran forward. She came to a stop when she saw a figure holding Conan by his arm over the edge.
"CONAN!" tess shouted out. The figure turned looking at Tess.
"TESS!" Conan shouted. But the figure had dropped Conan and there was splash in the water.
"NO!" Tess threw the flashlight down and ran to the edge of the ship. She climbed over the bars and dove into the water. The figure looked over the edge as the bubbles Tess gave off soon disappeared. The figure turned around and walked away.
Tess swam around trying to find Jimmy. Soon enough she found his sinking body. She swam toward him and grabbed him by his hand. She pulled him close to her chest. She then swam upwards trying to reach the surface. She could feel her lungs tightening up on her. She needed air and fast. Tess felt death knocking on her door as she was about drown but she wasn't going to let Conan die not right now she wasn't.
Finally tess came up and she gasp for air. She breathed hard as she looked around for the ship. She noticed behind her that the ship was feet away from her. Tess grabbed her gun and lifted it out of the water. She pointed it upwards and started to shoot it off. Everyone on the boat would've been able to hear it. She kept on shooting till she saw a figure standing on the edge of the boat.
"TEEESS!" it called out. She knew who it was and she smiled.
"DARIEN!" She shouted back. "I FOUND CONAN! HURRY! PULL US BACK TO SAFETY!" she called. Darien looked around the boat till he found a life tube. He grabbed onto it and threw it like a Frisbee. Tess swam over to it and grabbed it. Darien started to pull them in. Once Tess and Conan were close to the boat and put the life tube around Conan. She looked up. "Pull him up!" she shouted. Darien nodded his head as he started to pull him up and out of the water. Tess looked around to find something she could grab but there was nothing. She suddenly felt herself disappear underneath the water. She closed her eyes tightly as she felt something sucking her in. She looked to see the peelers taking her in. Tess looked up. She started to swim franticly. She finally reached the top of the water but she was quickly pulled back under. Darien looked over the edge of the boat once Conan was on. He saw her struggling to stay above water. He then tossed the life tube over the edge of the boat. Tess saw it and grabbed a hold. She pulled herself through the hole. She felt Darien pulling her up.
Once Tess was pulled up onto the boat she rolled over onto her back breathing hard as her gun rested in her hands. She was cold. Freezing cold. She was cold to the point where she was shivering. Darien looked at her. Tess looked at him as she pointed at Conan. He nodded his head. He crawled over to him to check to see if he was alive. And he was. There was nothing for her to worry about.
"Tess, there's nothing for you to wor-…" Darien's eyes widened once he saw that she had passed out. "Tess?"
"Darien!" Darien looked behind him to see Sota, Sirena, and Rachel running over.
"What happened? Why did Tess shoot her gun off?" Sirena asked.
"I think Tess and Conan fell over board. Tess was probably shooting her gun off to get our attention." Darien answered.
"Are they all right?" Sota asked. Darien nodded his head.
"Yeah…" Darien answered, "but Tess had passed out." He added as he looked at her.
"She was probably tired." Sirena said.
"Wait…
where's Miss Kasknet?" Darien asked.
"She was… found
dead in the hallway." Rachel answered as she placed her hand onto
Sota's shoulder. Darien looked at Tess and then at Conan.
'If it was one thing that I learned from Tess was how to solve cases. And that's what I plan on doing.' Darien thought to himself. "Sota. I want you to stay here with Conan and Tess to see if they wake up."
Sota nodded his head, "alright." He said.
"Rachel and Sirena. You're coming with me." Darien said as he stood up
"Where are we going?" Rachel asked as Darien walked passed the two.
"We're going to go find the murderer." Darien said.
Rachel, Sirena, and Darien roamed the hallways of the ship for a while. Suddenly they came across John sitting on the floor leaning up against the wall. Darien walked over to him as Sirena and Rachel stayed behind. Darien got down onto his knees and looked at John. It was clear to him… that he was dead.
"He's dead." Darien said.
"Then… who's the murderer?" Sirena asked. "He was a weird one. Maybe he's faking it." She added.
Darien shook his head, "no. he's dead alright." He said. "Then the only possible murderer is…"
"Sota?" Rachel cut in. Darien nodded his head.
"How do you know? You're not Richard Moore or Tess or even Jimmy." Sirena started.
"No I'm not but… if it was one thing that I learned from being around Tess all of these years is how to solve cases. I might not be as good as she is but I know a dead body when I see it and I know that none of us did it."
"So that leaves Sota." Rachel said.
They all got back to Sota to see he was still with Tess and Conan. Darien looked down at his pants to see a blood stain.
"Sota." Darien said, "you're the murderer." Sota looked up at Darien in shock.
"No! It wasn't me! How could I have killed a whole crew?" Sota asked.
"Simple. You're mother and you probably had a plan to kill John. First you had to take over the ship. Second, you…"
"Alright!" Sota shouted as he fell to his knees. "I did kill them." He said. "John… my father was supposed to help me. He was going to kill the crew and I was going to finish my mother in her sleep. But things got out of hand and I didn't want my mother dead so John killed her. Conan was a witness to it all and through him over board and that's when Tess went after him."
"So John was the murderer all along." Rachel said.
"How did you kill John?" Sirena asked.
"I took his gun." Sota answered.
Soon the rescue team had found the drifting boat and brought it back to the docks. Tess and Conan were checked out at the hospital but they both were completely fine. Another case solved but not by Tess, Jimmy, or Richard… this time… Darien was the hero.
