Chapter 5: Another Try:

Nancy's POV:

We were talking with Zoe. "Look, I just protest," says Zoe, "I try to avoid doing anything illegal!"

"Okay, well, we haven't seen much proof," I said.

"You want to hear my alibi," asks Zoe, "I was helping my boyfriend with his Kwanzaa dinner!"

"Oh... that is a good one," I said.

"A lot of people don't see it as a big deal, but he does," says Zoe, "he's half african-american, so it's not easy for him."

"I get it," I said. I then got a call. "We gotta get to the zoo!"

. . .

It was Owen. He said he found Tyler doing something crazy. We then got there, and we saw Owen on the ground, with Tyler holding a gun.

"It's not what it looks like," says Tyler.

. . .

Tyler was being taken in for questioning.

"We have to find out who did this," I said.

. . .

We were at Pop's.

"So, either Tyler's in denial or he just didn't do it," says Ned, "unless there's a third option!"

Det. Tamura then came in. "Mind if I join you guys."

"Shaun and I could scoot over," I said. We then did so, and Det. Tamura sat with us.

"Well, this place ain't MM Good Donuts," says Det. Tamura, "but it's kind of nice."

"So, what's up," asks Ned.

"Well... it's the strangest thing," says Det. Tamura, "I was going to take another look at the body, but... it wasn't there!"

"What," asks George.

"Yeah, I think someone stole the body," says Det. Tamura, "so, think it might be a Frankenstein thing?"

I then had a thought. I was feeling stupid! "I think I know what it is," I said. I then, accidently, knocked Shaun and Det. Tamura down, and ran.

. . .

I then faced the culprit. "I know it was you..."
