October 8
A week after the return of Mushi. Not much happened. X started school at Gallagher Elementary School. She was always found swinging on the swing set. And when class starts,no matter how high she was,she manage to jump on my two feet. "X there has been a murder case!" Till now. "What?" She gave her the information of the victim. "Rushell Runett. The leader of the Six Gum Gang? Age 11,used to work for the Delightful Children but quit when the work almost sent him to the nurses office." X buried the information in the sand box. "Information won't help us with the case. Where was the body found?" X turned around back to Fanny. "In the janitors closet. Someone smelled something in it stranger than usual an when we opened it,his body was hanging right there. We think it's a suicide but then the Principle called the police and they're still deciding from a suicide or murder." X nodded and ran inside the school to the janitors closet. "Xaria,get to class! We don't need a kid running around in a place like this." The principle blocked X or Xaria away from the scene. "But I can help with this. I can do it!" "Oh yeah? How high are you're grades? Low? Average?" "Proficient." Xaria ran past him to where the incident took place.
12:20am
"Hey kid,what are you doing here? Get to class." The officer knelled down to X's height making X's yellow eyes brighter. "Who are you?" Questioned the officer. "Xaria,Xaria Hallows." She rushed passed the officer. "Hey there kid! Don't get to close to the evidence!" She studied the body. It was dangling on the ceiling. She bit her lip. "Wow,hey mister did you see the gum gun he's holding? If he was to commit suicide by hanging himself,why would he need the gun? And yeah there is a stool under the body but under his shoes are mud,and there is no trace of it on the stool and if he were to stand on this stool he still won't be able to reach the ceiling and that thing he's hanging on looks awfullyhigh." The officer looked at it at Xaria's angle. "Hey the kids right." As the officer talked things through they all turned to Xaria who was still studying the trace evidence found at the scene. "Hey kid,why don't you help us out?" The principle rushed in. "Are you absurd? She's just a kid-" "A kid that might be able to crack the case!" Blurted out the cheif. "Do what you want,but don't blame me when she starts to cause a menace!" He rushed off.
12:28am
Xaria started to eat parts of her lunch. 'The evidence isn't rock solid,but maybe I should start interviewing some people around here. Let's see if they have a solid alibi.' She got up and threw her lunch away. The first person,or people she interviewed were the Delightful Children from Down the Lane.
12:30am
"So David of the Delightfuls,yes I know you all stick todgether but where were you during recess this morning? I didn't see you around." Xaria started.
"We were at the office doing extra credit work." David,and only David spoke. The rest were starting to sweat.
"Uh-huh. Well Ashley?" She looked up in panic. "W-Well,I was of course with him! So were the rest! What do we have to do with this? We have nothing to do with him,he quit years ago." "Two months really." The Delightfuls stared at Lenny. "Well thank you very much,you've been so much help." Xaria guided them out of the room. "Wait what? Why didn't the rest get interviewed!" Ashley tried to stop the door from closing but it was to late. "They were lying."
1:06am
While Xaria was doing her homework at the school library,the police barged in. "It's time." Xaria nodded and walked out with the officers. Students began to stop and stare. They made it to the closet once again. "What evidence did you collect the following hour?" She asked them. "What? We thought you had some! We tried but-" "You didn't gain anything. You see,I first suspected the Delightful Children even thought he quited on them. Yet I know not all five did it. It was but only 3,one was David,second is Ashley,fourth unexpectedly turned himself in at that was Lenny. It was yes a murder,and the motive behind it was hard to figure out. You see Olivia Delightful had a crush on Rushell. And ever since he quit she has been a bit depressed. The three made a come back and lied to her to do it. The Delightfuls were sworn not to do this kind of havoc,but every rule is meant to be broke one day,or another." The police stared at her. "No evidence?" She smirked. "Look here good sir,a delightful bow was kicked to the very corner,where you can't see it. And Lenny he turned himself in. David wasn't too hard to catch,his alibi wasn't the best. Lizzie who still works at the office said that she hasn't seen him there. You can ask her yourself." She walked out. Standing at the door way was Lenny.
"Lenny..." He patted her head. "Good job kid," She looked up at him and saw somebody totally different. A face she missed. "You did a great job!" The face faded away. Her heart started to break a bit. And yet she smiled. "Thanks." "Let us go! Lenny did it to!" David pointed at him. "Him? He let himself go guilty,he's serving his time at community service." Ashley broke free and clawed Lenny. "You traitor! You'll never get away with this!" The police retrieved her and dragged her out.
"Wow,you okay?" Lenny nodded. "Hey kid,What's you're name?" Her eyes sparkled. "Xaria,Xaria Hallows. Nice to meet you Lenny. I hope we see each other again. Except not because of a crime." She began to walk away. A peice of paper fell from her pocket with a picture. Lenny picked it up. "Xaria! You dropped something!" It was to late. She was long gone. Lenny stared at the picture. It was folded into 4 halfs. He turned it around and found scribbles of writing. "To: Lenny From:Xaria-Open." He did has the note said. When the picture fully opened it revealed two girls and one boy holding hands in uniform smiling. No parents. "The Family Picture" was written on top of it. "How is it family when there are only kids?" He whispered.
1:30am
X was waiting in front of class room door. Once the bell rang the first person out was a girl who looked a lot like X but she had brown eyes. "Hiya sis!" She hugged her. "Hey,your big sister solved another crime." The girls face lit up. "Really? What happened?" She jumped excitedly. "I'll tell you when we're home." X patted her sisters back. "Hey sis? Where's brother?" X's smile faded. "He's,he's working." X faught back tears. She knew the truth. "He's been at work for years." The younger child faced the ground. "He'll be back one day. I promise." The sibling looked at X. "Pinky swear?" X's phone rang. "Hold on." She hled up her phone to her ear. "Yes? What? Hold on a second. I'm sorry I have to go," She ran down the hall. "Keys under the matt!" The sibling looked at her pinky. She watched her sister fade away. She turned around and started walking. "Promise?" She whispered. A tear started showing. "Liar."
Ok so maybe this wasn't really a happy story,the next one is a continuation from this. But this time the sister name reveals.
Yes I know they're supposed to be in an orphanage if they're kids living alone,but they have a cousin watching them,let's just say I don't want them to be orphans but since I have no idea who to put I might just have to pay a visit.
(1) Previous chapter showed to have only a single problem,no death,nothing bad or terrible,and there was a happy ending. This continues and the other one was a decoy to be prepared for this one.
(2)Some chapters reflect on previous ones so it may be good to remember some each Friday.
(3)Forth Friday might be missing since it will be Oct. 29.
(4)I put the numbers here for a very good reason. I may have to really say something important that deals with this story to give a reason on if I didn't update. I love planning ahead of time.
(5)Oh yes and just as a little spoiler,Nigel will be coming very soon,sooner than you think. But Sector V won't know that. Why? It'll ruin the true story of Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S. so nope.
(6)Also,you may have noticed the last chapter held a song. The band that sang that song is pretty much hated by many people back at 2009. I only hated their name not the music. Kinda. Anyways the one with Nigel might be a songfic. Though I suck at them big time but doesn't hurt to try once. If it's bad don't be shy and say so,I don't hate anybody for anything. I have only one enemy on my list. And for that person,if you are watching...I want my pencil back!
(7)Finally,each Friday you will see a new chapter up. I promise and will not stop until the end of this story.
