The Secret Life of Nook Chapter 3: Notes on Nook
It was Saturday morning and Seth had just woke up. He grabbed a pear from the table and made his way over to the window to see what the weather was like. The rain tapped on the window as it came down lightly from above. Today was the day that Seth was going to explore more of the mystery of Nook's unknown life. Yesterday it didn't turn out like he had planned. The only thing he found out is that Nook might have had some connections with Redd. Many of the people in town had warned Seth not to shop at Redd's Black Market. After finishing his breakfast, Seth grabbed his umbrella and headed to the police station.
Before heading to the station Seth decided to check the bulletin board to see if there were any updates on the weather. 'Light showers for the next week with a couple thunderstorms here and there,' a note on the board read. So much for tanning, Seth thought. After looking to see if there were any more notes that might interest him, Seth made his way down to the police station. Officer Copper was standing at the front door like he always did. He didn't have an umbrella, so he was greeting soaked. Seth couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Hello Seth," Copper said, "May I be of service to you?"
"Good morning, Officer Copper," Seth said in a polite voice, "I was wondering if you could help me with this little project I am doing?" Officer Copper looked at Seth in a strange way, so Seth explained the whole story of what took place two days before. "I was wondering if Nook had any criminal record of any sort," Seth said.
"Well a couple years back Nook got a ticket for soliciting turnips at the wishing well without a proper vending license. He had to serve 48 hours of community service," Copper said without having to look at any papers or type of record. This was a fine example of how much business they did not have. Copper continued, "Also on New Years Eve, Nook got off with a warning for skipping out on the yearly health inspection. He promised to have it done this year."
"So, there is no record of him robbing anyone, charging to much on products, or having any connection with the Black Market," Seth asked the dog in a police uniform.
"None," said the officer.
"I almost forgot," Seth said, "I was wondering if there are any new items in the lost and found?"
"Yes," Copper said. "There are two new items."
Seth had went in to the building to see if either of the items would interest him. To his surprise one of the was just what he was looking for. A BED, A BED, I FINALLY FOUND BED, Seth thought. He took the bed with great joy. It was modern style. Just what Seth was looking for. After he claimed his item he asked the shy dog, Booker, the same question about Nook as he asked Copper. He said the same exact thing as Copper did. So, there was no suspicion of a cover up.
After leaving the police station, Seth made his way to the next acre over. He was there to talk to Cookie's neighbor, Louie. Louie was a nice monkey who lived in town. He had been there for a long time. He might know a little more about Nook then the others. Louie was out admiring the flowers Seth had planted a few days earlier.
"Good morning Louie," Seth said happily, "I was wondering if you could answer a few questions about Nook for me."
"Sure," Louie said.
"Do you remember when Nook opened his shop here?"
"Yes," Louie said, "He had just moved here. He had told me that he had lost his previous job. I felt bad for him. He said that he was going to open a shop in town where I could by any thing I wanted. It was a grand day when he opened, although the shop was really small. The other folks that moved into town also went to his opening. I was amazed at all the neat stuff he had. Now that I remember it he said that his first day was his best day ever. As the years went by his shop got bigger. That is how it got here today."
"Do you Know what his job was before he opened the Shop," Seth asked.
"He said something about a detective agency before, but I am not sure," Louie said. "I hope that helped."
"It did. Thank you a lot." Seth said his good-bye and made his way back home.
After lunch he rearranged his house so his bed would fit. He also dug out and extra notebook and wrote:
1. Possible involvement with the Black Market and Redd
2. 1 ticket for soliciting turnips at the wishing well without a proper vending license
3. Possible work as a detective in the past
After Closing the book, he decided to go fishing and relax for the rest of the day.
