Hello everyone! Welcome to chapter 2 of "Frozen Case"! I don't have a lot to say so let's just get into it...
Anna was now in her room, searching for any evidence the thief might've left.
"There's gotta be something here". She mumbled to herself.
Distracted by what she was doing, Anna didn't notice the door open behind her.
"How's the 'investigation' going for you?". A voice said.
"Huh?". Anna said before she lifted herself up and turned her back, seeing her sister standing in the middle of the room.
"Oh, it's going fine but I think the thief was a smart one. I can't find any evidence". She replied.
Elsa giggled lightly before talking.
"That's because you're not equipped nor trained for this kind of work". Elsa said.
"You keep laughing now sis, but when I get to the bottom of this mystery, you're gonna be surprised". The princess said.
"Okay, if you say so". The queen said before turning to leave when she was suddenly pulled back by her sister.
"Wait, I said you're gonna be interrogated today, didn't I?". Anna reminded Elsa.
The latter just sighed. She then saw her sister pointing to a table with two chairs set on its sides.
The duo sat in the chairs.
"Anna, you should know that the only reason I agreed to this is because today is the weekend and I have no work". Elsa explained.
"Whatever helps the investigation. Now, I'm gonna ask you a bunch of questions and you're gonna answer them honestly, okay?". Anna explained, slightly putting on a threatening voice while emphasizing on the last part.
Slightly taken back by her sister's hostility, Elsa nodded slowly.
"Good. Now, where were you at around 9:00 o'clock?". Anna questioned.
Elsa grew a small smirk on her face, which Anna took notice of.
"Why are you smiling like that?". The princess asked.
"Anna, I think you should cross me off the suspects list. I was still asleep by that time". Elsa said, confidently.
Anna's eyes widened upon hearing that alibi.
"Then when did you wake up?". Anna inquired.
"Around 10". The queen replied with confidence again.
Anna just sat in silence, processing what he sister said.
"Arrived at a dead now, detective?". Elsa asked, jokingly.
"Well, do you have an eyewitness to confirm that?". Anna asked.
"Not when I was asleep, but when I was down having breakfast". Elsa explained.
"And my average waking time on weekends is 10 o'clock". She added.
Once again, Anna sat in silence while thinking deeply. She knew no one in the castle would lie when it comes to the queen. After a few seconds, she spoke up.
"You're free to go". She gestured to the door without looking.
Elsa got up from her chair and went towards the door.
"But remember...". Anna started, catching the queen's attention who turned back towards her.
"You're still a suspect until I hear the other's alibis". She added, turning her face towards Elsa.
The eldest of the two just rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, okay". She said before turning back to the door and heading towards it.
"Oh and tell Kristoff to come now if he's not busy". Anna said.
Elsa nodded and finally left the room and went to look for Kristoff.
Some time later, Kristoff heard from Elsa that Anna wanted to see him so he rushed immediately to her room.
The ice harvester made it to his destination, he pushed the door gently and got in. He saw that Anna was sitting on chair with a table and another empty chair facing hers.
"Hey Anna". He greeted.
"Hey". She replied.
"So, Elsa said you wanted to see me?". Kristoff asked as he made himself comfortable on the chair.
"Yes, it's time for your interrogation". Anna explained.
"Come on now, I'm your boyfriend. We both know I wouldn't do anything bad to you". He attempted to reason with her.
"In the current scenario, that's exactly what makes you a major suspect. It's like I said before". The redhead retorted.
Kristoff remained silent.
"Now, I'm gonna ask you some questions and you have to answer them honestly, okay?". She said, using the same tone she used with Elsa before.
"Yeah, okay". He replied with a nod.
"Where were you around 9:00 o'clock?". She asked.
"Well, I was out harvesting ice. Sven and a couple of other people can confirm that". Kritoff replied.
Anna sat silent for a little bit.
"We had to leave early in the morning to make up for lost time later today". He added.
"Lost time? What is he talking about?". Anna asked herself.
"Okay then. You're free to go". The princess said, gesturing to the door.
Kristoff, relieved that it was over quickly, got up from his sitting place and went towards the door. But he stopped mid-way and turned back to Anna, then placed a kiss on cheek.
"Thank you". He said, making Anna smile.
"I'll see you later then". He waved and headed for the door again, leaving the room.
"Bye". Anna waved back, then started thinking over the facts.
"So both have eyewitnesses that they were away from the crime scene at 9. How's that possible?". She asked herself.
"Unless there is another suspect I don't know about". She thought, then got up and left her room in a rush.
As she was about to run in the halls, she tripped and fell down. She could've sworn she heard a shriek other than hers during the fall.
Anna got up and looked in front of her, where she saw three separated white balls each one is bigger than the other.
"Hey Anna!". A voice greeted her.
"Hey Olaf, sorry about that". Anna replied.
"No, it's okay". Olaf reassured her.
"Olaf..He loves cake. Maybe he's the missing suspect". Anna thought.
"Olaf, were you here this morning?". The princess asked.
"Yeah, but outside the castle playing". The snowman replied.
"When did you get in the castle?". She inquired.
"Just now actually! Why?". He asked innocently.
Anna debated whether she should tell him or not. She decided that she should.
"Well, someone stole my piece of cake this morning and I don't know who it is. I tried to interrogate Elsa and Kristoff but they both had good alibis". Anna explained.
"That's sad". Olaf said, looking down.
"Yeah, it is". Anna said.
"Anna, I have a question". He said.
"What is it?". She asked.
"What's an alibi?". He asked.
Anna giggled a bit before answering.
"It's the thing that proves they didn't do it". The princess replied.
"Ah I see. Good luck then". Olaf said as he waved and went about his day.
"Bye". Anna waved back. She was glad that the snowman didn't figure out she suspected him.
Anna got back to thinking about her dilemma.
"There's gotta be something I missed". The princess said in thought then went to carry on with her investigation.
