Sam POV:
Fredward Benson's and Zeke Carter's Deaths Connected?
Written By Melissa Ray
Three weeks ago, the head of the Pear Software Company was found dead in an abandoned apartment closet. There was blood all over his body. He had been shot in the heart. The name of the gun is classified for police officers only. After three weeks of investigation, we still have not learned who killed him.
About one week ago, the head of the Lime Software Company was shot in Hawaii. He was immediately sent to the hospital and put on life support. He had evidently been shot in the back near his heart and in the lungs. He died three days later when he was taken off the life support. Police have told us that his wife, Samantha Benson, said there was a dark figure that looked sort of like a woman. She had shot her husband, but she hadn't been able to catch the figure or stop them.
Many people have told me that they think that Fredward Benson's and Zeke Carter's deaths were both connected. They were both the heads of very powerful companies. There have been reports that a smaller company, Green Apple Phones, have been trying to get to the top and stop Pear and Lime. Police have questioned the workers at Green Apple and so far they have claimed to have nothing to do with these two shootings.
However, yesterday I received a letter from an anonymous reader. She or he told me that they work at Green Apple Phones and they had heard their boss talking about killing someone. She/he told me that their boss had been threatening about five people to kill Benson and Carter. She/he told me they left the business immediately. They also told me that an inside source from Lime had been talking with Green Apple.
After Benson was killed, his co-worker, Abigail James, took the Lime Software plans and joined Green Apple Phones. This could be suggesting that she herself and been the inside source. She could have also planned to kill Benson and Carter. Police Investigators have questioned her and they have said that she is in fact innocent. She had actually been good friends with Benson. Also, another member of the Pear Company left Pear and went to Green Apple. His name was Benji Harrison. He also gave Green Apple some of Pear's plans. Harrison has also been questioned.
While both of these horrible deaths are still unanswered, investigators will continue to try and find their murderers.
I threw the newspaper down on the table. I didn't believe that they'd ever figure out who killed both of them. It was obvious actually. Both the murders were by Abigail. They even mentioned her in the article. I sighed and shook my head. Maybe Abigail didn't exactly do the killings but she hired someone to do them; maybe that's what happened. I threw the paper in the trash.

I sat down at the kitchen table. Liz, Jena, and Ruby all walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. "Why are we eating dinner together?" Liz asked rudely.
I ignored her. "Where's your brother?" I asked Jena.
"He's in his bedroom," Jena told me. "He's... Working on something."
"What?" I asked her while raising an eyebrow.
"I'm not supposed to tell you," Jena said. She glanced over at Ruby and I noticed Ruby was glaring at her. Jena cleared her throat. "I'll go get him. I'll tell him that it's time for dinner," she said. She stood up from the table with a smile on her face and walked away.
Liz turned and glared at me. "Again, mom. Why are we eating dinner together? We've never done this before. Well, except for when we go out to eat at restaurants," she said.
"Your father wanted to start having family dinner when we came back home," I told her.
"Well," she said angrily. "Dad's not her anymore so why are we doing this? There's really no point whatsoever."
I stared at her angrily. "How about this? You're grounded. No computer, phone, iPod, or anything electronic," I told her.
"Mom! That's not fair!" she shouted at me.
I ignored her as Jason and Jena walked into the room. "We're here!" Jena said happily. She sat down at her spot at the table and Jason sat next to her. Liz angrily sat down next to Ruby. "Oh, and Liz," I said. "If you say another thing to tick me off, you're going to be cleaning the kitchen for one month." Liz scowled at the table.
"Hey mom!" Jena said excitedly while piling a bunch of spaghetti onto her plate. "Can I dye my hair rainbow colors?"
"No!" I said immediately.
"Why not?" Jena asked sadly.
"Well, because I don't want to see you with weird rainbow colors in your hair," I told her.
"But I saw this picture of a girl in the yearbook and she had rainbow colored hair and it looked amazing! And her hair style was just like mine and I want my hair to be likes hers!" Jena told me. "Please let me dye my hair!"
"I'll think about it," I told her.
...~*~...
There was a knock on the door. I stood up and walked over to it and answered. Mrs. Benson was standing there and glaring down at me. "I'm here to see my grandkids. I want to make sure they're safe from your witch powers," she said while glaring at me.
I glared at her. "You should be in the crazy house," I told her.
"You should be burned at the -"
"Granny?" Jena asked as she skipped into the living room.
Mrs. Benson's face changed in an instant and a smile was put on her face. "Jena, love!" she aid while smiling at Jena. "Come give Granny a hug!"
Jena stood there awkwardly. "Um... I don't want a hug," she said innocently. She put an innocent smile on her face and looked up at Mrs. Benson. "I came in here to get something out of the kitchen. Then I heard you so I thought I should say 'hi.'"
"What did you come in here to get?" I asked Jena.
Jena stared down at her feet. "I'm not supposed to tell you. Ruby got mad at me because of dinner. I need to keep my mouth shut," she told me.
"Honey," Mrs. Benson said. She walked over to Jena and bent down and wrapped her arms around Jena's shoulders. "What is that you wanted? I'll go get it for you."
"I... I... I want a... a... uhh...," Jena paused and tapped her chin. "A fork, knife, spoon, napkin, plate, bowl, and a couch cushion."
"Why on earth do you need that?" Mrs. Benson asked while I asked, "Why the hell do you want that crap?"
Mrs. Benson stood up and glared at me for my language. I put my finger over my lips and whispered, "Whoops. You'll get over it." I smirked at her.
"I can't tell you why I need those things! It's a secret," Jena told us.
"Are you Ruby and Liz having a tea party? That's what I and my sisters did as we were young girls," Mrs. Benson said happily.
Jena laughed really hard. "Tea party? Oh my gosh! Are you joking?" Jena asked. She clutched her stomach and fell on to her back. "That's so funny! Why would I be having a tea party? Tea party's are for sissies," she said while continuously laughing.
"Sissies? My sisters and I are not sissies!" Mrs. Benson said angrily.
"Yeah, you are!" Jena said while laughing.
Mrs. Benson glared at the laughing girl; she stood up and walked away angrily. "I'm leaving! You people sicken me!" she yelled over her shoulder. She stormed out of the house and slammed the door.
I stared at it. "Jena, why do you need all that stuff?" I asked. I turned around and saw that Jena was already gone and collecting all of her items. I shook my head in annoyance.
...~*~...
I hummed to myself as I walked through the house. I walked to my closet and started to put a few things up. "Momma!" a voice shouted from nowhere. I turned around and saw Ruby standing there. "Come with me!" she said. She ran over to me and grabbed my hand and dragged me away.
"Where am I going?" I asked her.
"It's important and it's in my bedroom! Jason, Jena, and I have been working on it for a few days and I've been working on the formula for weeks!" she told me.
"Wait. What?" I asked her in confusion.
Ruby sighed exasperatingly. "I know that you already know, but Jena can see the future. She's told me and Jason this all the time. She told me about one of her dreams about dad and I told her I'd figure something out! So that's why I've been studying dad's old science books, doing extra work, and working like crazy!" Ruby said. She dragged me into her bedroom and I saw this weird machine type thing. It had a small circle in the center. There were cords everywhere and a bunch of them went to a small laptop.
"Is that Liz's laptop?" I asked her.
"Yeah, so?" she asked while pressing a few buttons on it.
"So... I locked it up in my desk drawer with a lock combination. Which one of you broke into it?" I asked her.
"I told Jason to do it but he wouldn't listen. Then Jena begged him and he finally decided to break into it," Ruby said.
"Well, all three of you are in trouble!" I told her. I started to walk away, but she grabbed my hand and pulled me back.
"Momma! You can't leave! This is important! It can save dad!" Ruby said excitedly. "For the past few weeks, I've been studying the Space-Time Continuum and after much studying, I've discovered the formula for time travel and how to create the time traveling machine! I've had Jena and Jason help me build it. Did you know Jason is actually really good at mechanics? Who would have thought?"
"Wait? Time travel?" I asked in shock.
Ruby sighed angrily. "I thought I just went over that!" she told me. She pressed a few more buttons. "Okay, I've got the date for when you're going to go back. Now, what time was it when dad was shot?" she asked me.
"Uh... Try 12:00?" I said uncertainly.
Ruby nodded her head and pressed 12:00. She smiled and turned to me. She then hand me a spoon and a fork. "Wow, thanks. Am I going to eat or something?" I asked hopefully.
Ruby rolled her eyes at me. "No, that's not what they're for. So, it's really complicated. You break the spoon whenever you want to get back in your own body so that way there won't be two yous in one time frame," Ruby said. "Also, you'll be invisible when you go back into time. You break off part of the fork whenever you want to be visible to one person. Don't break it off to often or else something bad will happen."
I stared at Ruby. "Uh... Okay?" I said uncertainly.
"She sighed. Break the spoon whenever you want to go back into your own body. Break off a small piece of the fork and whisper the persons name when you want them to see you," she said simply.
"I think I got it," I told her.
"Good, now climb in!" she commanded. Ruby pressed the enter button and suddenly, a bright red light appeared in the small circle. It was almost just like one of those sy-fy movies with the time machines and shiny blue lights.
"Can't I say bye to everyone first?" I asked.
Ruby groaned angrily. "Don't worry mom! In this time frame path, Aunt Carly and Uncle Gibby will take care of us since they're our godparents. Also, you'll be noted as dead because you won't ever be in this time frame path ever again," she said.
"What?"
"Just climb in! You only have thirty seconds left!" she screamed.
I bent down and slowly climbed in. A loud roaring noise was every where as I fell through the hole. I screamed and felt really dizzy as I passed through time. I swear, I saw a cow flying by me.
The End. Nah... I'm kidding. lol. And I made up all of that time machine crap and stuff. rofl. So sorry if it doesn't make any sense or if it's just plain stupid. ;) Also, I'm thinking of doing an April's Fools Joke chapter even though I'm going to finish this way before April. So, if you want to read it, tell me and I'll pm it to you. And if I get at least four anonymous reviewers asking for it, I'll post it randomly. Don't be surprised if you randomly read a chapter that makes no sense whatsoever. lol. I'd love to thank RachelHouse22 for the idea. :)
