Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Shelley Street
Basil and Cherie went straight to the library. It was just a hunch but if anyone were to know where Trans Fishers lived, Mrs. Alice the librarian did! Thankfully, there was no Brad or Greta there this time. Greta was tutoring Holger and Steve. Brad was who knew where!
Walking up to the librarian's desk, Basil cleared his throat. Mrs. Alice looked up from the book she was reading. She was reading "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley.
"May I help you?" she asked.
"Yes, you wouldn't happen to know where Trans Fishers lives do you?"
"On Shelley Street! 1818 Shelley Street!"
Basil turned his head sideways and raised his one solitary eyebrow, the other having been lost. "Shelley Street?"
"Shelley Street!"
Basil nodded. "Thanks." He then walked out of the library with Cherie. "Shelley Street? As if in Mary Shelley the author of 'Frankenstein?' Terence Fisher directed 'The Curse of Frankenstein' and Trans Fishers is living on Shelley Street?" Basil clutched Cherie's arms. "What's next? Someone with a name like Bram Stoker?"
"Basil, I'm really hoping you are asking a rhetorical question." Cherie's hope was anybody's who would be in that situation.
"Of course I am, Cherie." Basil ran his hands through his hair. "I'm fine, I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm cool I'm fine."
Cherie gave Basil a kiss. "You want to go back to your house early and go to Shelley Street tomorrow?"
Basil shook his head. "You can if you want to but I'd like to get this mystery finished as quickly as possible." He then gave Cherie a kiss, who just hugged him.
"You expect me to leave you to solve this by yourself?" Cherie's question was rhetorical. Basil and Cherie could ask rhetorical questions. They were truly meant for each other. "I love you and will stand by you as I should and as you should stand by me."
Basil chuckled. Cherie was really something wonderful.
