The next day
Trevor woke up to see Misty all ready to leave for somewhere. "Where are you going so early in the morning?" he said.
"Investigations," she said.
"Oh, may I come with you?"
"I don''t know, you are one of the possible suspects, I can''t let the culprit meddle with my investigations."
"I don''t think I will be able to do that. You are also one of the suspects, what if you are up to something?"
"Yeah I know, which is exactly why I said I don''t know. So in these circumstances it''s best to just tag along."
"Yes, which is exactly why I am also coming with you guys," said Ralph.
"Oh, why didn''t I notice him here when we were talking?" said Trevor.
"Because I just came here."
"And what is this about you tagging along with us? You were literally doing nothing ever since you came here, why the sudden interest?" said Trevor.
"It''s not a sudden interest, it''s just as I said. What if you guys are the culprits and are up to something, and how do you know if I didn''t investigate alone before? So yeah, I am coming with you two."
Misty and Trevor looked at each other, Misty then looked at Ralph and said, "yeah okay, you are just doing what you are supposed to do." Just when they were talking to each other they saw Vincent getting into his car.
"Hey bro, where are you going?" said Trevor.
"I''m not cut out for "investigations" so I just thought I should get some fresh air," said Vincent.
''Wait, he''s going somewhere alone, he has more chances to do something,'' Ralph thought. "Bro, I will come with you, it''s suspicious to move alone," said Ralph.
"Okay," said Vincent. Ralph went with Vincent.
"Guess he ain''t coming with us," said Trevor.
"Good," said Misty.
Evelyn came from behind and said. "Why? Are you guys up to something."
"No, fewer people are better, especially considering the fact that there are werewolves among us," said Misty.
''Why is everyone so secretive when approaching us... it feels like everyone is a Ninja,'' Trevor thought. "Okay, I will be back in a minute, Misty," Trevor went inside the house.
They left for their little investigations after a while. "Yo, where are we going?" said Trevor, who was driving the car.
"To the police station," said Misty.
"Police... station, huh?" He said.
"What''s up bro?" said Misty.
"Nothing... Why go to the police station? Are you going to reveal our little secret to them?" said Trevor.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!
"Yes, kinda," she said.
"Wouldn''t we be in trouble if we did that?"
"Nope."
"Weird..."
At the police station
"Sir, we would like to meet Mr.Fred," said Misty.
"Sorry, we can''t let random people meet the chief without an appointment," The officer said.
"No sir, tell him Misty wants to meet him, plus I called him yesterday to let him know that I am coming," she said.
The officer went inside to get the police chief''s permission to let them in. "Okay, you two can go inside."
They went inside the chief officer''s room. "Hey Uncle Fred," said Misty.
"Yes, come in, Misty," he said. He then looked at Trevor and said, "you are that hacker boy, right?"
"Yes..."
"Hmm, anyway please take a seat," said Fred.
"So tell me what you want to talk about, Misty." He then paused and looked at Misty and Trevor for a second. "I assume it''s not something personal."
"Yes, it''s not personal. It''s about the mysterious kidnappings in our town, I want to ask you-"
Fred cut out Misty''s words. "Misty, you don''t have to help me with my investigations anymore. Remember what I said to you when your parents died? You just live your life happily with your new boyfriend. Even though I don''t quite like a criminal like him as your boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Are you calling Trevor my boyfriend?" said Misty.
"Yeah, who else would be with you?" said Fred.
"I could come here with my friend, you know, and there''s a reason behind why he''s here with me," said Misty.
"So he''s not your boyfriend?" said Fred.
"Yeah, he is not my boyfriend. Uncle Fred, you are wasting my time! So let me get straight to the point, I''m not doing this to help you, I''m doing this to help myself," said Misty.
"Yourself? What do you mean?" said Fred.
Misty explained the whole situation to him. "Look uncle Fred, I only told you this because I believe that you will keep this a secret, you will right?" said Misty.
"You know you are making this hard for me, but okay. Only because I know that you will find the culprit, especially with the help of the person next to you," said Fred.
"Uncle Fred, these are the list of suspects, it even has their pictures, will you look into these people''s history?" Misty handed over the papers to Fred.
"Ofcourse, I will," he paused.
"What happened sir?" said Trevor.
"It''s Catherine," said Fred. He flipped pages of the suspects list and examined each one of the pages carefully.
"What''s up Uncle Fred?" said Misty.
"8 out of these 15 people have committed some kind of crime in the past. Well, Trevor being one of them," said Fred.
"Who are they?" said Misty.
"I only know full details about some of them. I will have to check into it further. I will tell you the full details tomorrow, okay? For now, I will tell you the names of the 8 "criminals" in your group, they are Trevor, Mary, Catherine, Evelyn, Tony, Satoshi, Vincent and Vishnu."
"Okay Uncle, we will come back tomorrow, but I have one more favour to ask of you," said Misty.
Back into the house
"I wonder what they are up to," said Akbar.
"Probably doing something impactful unlike you," said Mary.
"Oh, you are still mad at me for yesterday, huh? It''s not my fault that you lied to us. By the way you aren''t doing anything either," said Akbar.
"I did some investigations at some point at least and I am leaving for investigations now as well. I am just waiting for Alex to get ready," said Mary.
"Hey guys, isn''t it suspicious that Cheng bro is doing "investigations" on his own. He even left early so that nobody would accompany him," said Akbar.
"No, he''s too young to be the kidnapper. He probably doesn''t want any culprit to accompany him," said Mary.
"That''s not true Mary, even young people can be cold blooded murderers. You are way too gullible. Anyways, let''s go," said Alex.
"Okay," said Mary. They left.
"I''m leaving too," said Tony.
"Alone?" said Evelyn.
"Yeah," said Tony.
"I will come with you then," said Evelyn. They also left after a while.
"It looks like only us lazy asses are left behind," said Catherine
"Yeah," said Satoshi.
Back to the police station
"Uhm okay fine, I will do it," said Fred.
"Thank you, Uncle," said Misty.
"Trevor, I''m sorry for back then," said Fred. Trevor just left without saying a word.
"Uncle, you said you are sorry but you still called him a criminal a while ago. I''m pretty sure people are already treating him horrible enough. At least you, a protector of law, should know that people make mistakes and change. Always remember that he was just a kid back then," Misty exited the room. They both got in the car and left.
"So your parents are also dead, huh?" said Trevor.
"Yes, they died two months ago."
"It must hurt alot, right?"
"No, not really." He was surprised by the answer and they both said nothing for the rest of the ride back home.
