Hey everyone! New update today! Woot woot! This wouldn't gone up sooner, but I just got back from vacation. It was great, but I'm glad to be sleeping on an actual bed tonight.

LiaLia15: yeah, sometimes that happens to me too. I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

FanOfJay: if I were in Jay's shoes, that would've sent chills up my spine too.

LovetheLord: in all honesty, I don't like the sound of it either. There's a point when I'm writing where I feel like I've dug the characters into a hole. It's a challenge to figure out how to get them out of it. But hey, it's a fun challenge!

Loki God of evil: Thanks for all the feedback! It means a lot to me to know that people are enjoying my stories. Don't worry about waiting six months for updates. I'm in a rhythm now.

Silver Darkness Star: you're on to something...

Windy: Yes, God is surely alive! Great to hear from you again! I've missed you. You've been in my prayers.

The two men circled around the alley on guard. One was about forty, the other just seventeen.

"Come on boys, this is boring!" the woman sighed.

"Wait!" The seventeen year old croaked.

The woman rose up, slightly interested, "Yes?"

"I, I don't want to do this. Can I please just go home?"

"Are you saying you don't love me?" The woman demanded.

"No! No! I just don't feel right killing someone!"

Before anything else could be said, the other man toppled him and strangled him to death. The man rose, "My lady," he practically drooled. The woman held out her hand. He kissed it, and the two left the alley before anyone found the body.

"Good morning guys!" Nya chirped and took a seat at the dinning table. So far, only her, Lloyd, and Zane were up. Nya was already showered, and Zane was ready for the day as well. Lloyd looked a little out of place wearing a Cyclops onsie he had been given as a gag gift last Christmas.

"Sup!" Lloyd wholeheartedly waved his hands in the air and kept his eyes glued to the tv. A reporter stood in front of yellow crime scene tape and was talking about a murder that had taken place the night before.

"...The only piece of evidence the police were able uncover was a wallet." A picture of the let her wallet appeared on the screen.

Nya gasped. It couldn't be!

"If you have any information concerning the case please contact silent observer," the reporter droned on.

"What Nya? What?" Lloyd asked.

Nya stared at the picture of the wallet trying to be sure it was true.

"I believe she recognizes the wallet," Zane stated, "If that is the case, it would be a good idea for Nya to contact silent observer right away."

"Is Zane right?" Do you know whose wallet that is?" Lloyd asked.

Nya nodded her head, "Yes. It belongs to the waitress that waited on me and Jay last night. Some guy stole it from her, but we caught it and gave it back to her."

"Well, after breakfast you should call silent observer and tell them everything you know," Lloyd suggested, "maybe even Jay too."

(Time skip)

Nya picked up her phone after all the breakfast dishes had been cleared. She waited until someone greeted her at the other end, "Hello. This is Nya Smith. I have information concerning the murder that took place in the alley l last night..."

"Well, what did they say?" Kai jumped up the moment Nya hung up.

Nya took a deep breath, "it looks like we might be getting our hands dirty. They want our help on the case."

Well, I hope you all enjoyed that chapter. Happy fourth of July to all the Americans reading this, and if you're not American, I hope you're having a happy day too! Until next time, God bless, and see ya!
