Meeting the Town's People

" Hey Stacey!" I say as I walk toward my older sister. She smiles at me and says," Sasha you have grown so much since I've last seen you!" Stacey helps me bring my lugage into the house as she asks," So how was the drive from Louisiana?" I groan," Don't even get me started! It was so boring." Laughing i entered the house to find a bunch of people I did'nt know," Stacey, who are all of these people!?" She walks in behind me and says," This is everyone from the neighborhood here to greet you." Looking around I see a variety of age groups, some people were infants, some were my age or around my age, some were about twenties, and the others were older than twenty-five. Suprised I say," You through me a welcome party?" Nodding everyone yelled SURPRISE!

The party was great and everyone seemed nice, well almost everyone. My sister's neighbor, Damien, kept to himself and stared at me the entire time, it felt as if he was starring into my very soul. I promised myself that I would look him up and see his history later. In the end I became friends with the Mayors son, David, and his daughter, Tarra. David looks at me and asks," So Sasha you want to go out to the creek with us and some friends tomorrow?" Mulling it over I replied," I'd love to but I don't have a bathing suit." Tarra stepped up," I can take you to buy one after the party if you want." Nodding we agreed to meet at the mall in two hours because they had to leave the party.

When I was finally able to get to the mall I found Tarra and David sitting at the food court. " Hey guys," I say walking up to them. Tarra smiles," Hey, so what store do you want to go to first?" Thinking I ask," Do y'all have a Hot Topic?" David and Tarra quickly dragged me to the staore and Tarra forced me to try on every bathing suit they had until I found the perfect one. It was a black bikkini with small skulls all over it. Tarra thought it looked great on me and when David saw me walk out of the dressing room his jaw hit the floor.

The First Kill

David had picked me up early that mourning but I didn't see Tarra," Hey David where's your sister?" He tensed up," She and mom had a fight last night so she went for a walk but hasn't come back. We think she just went to a friend's house and is going to meet us at the creek." I nodded in agreement considering how often I did that at home. We pulled up beside the creek and as I got out I noticed a trail of blood. Nudging David we followed the trail to the water where we found Tarra's lifeless body face up in the water. I felt like screaming but neither me nor David wanted to cause a comotion, as I walked closer to her I noticed a large whole in her chest where her heart should be. That's when I finally screamed bloody murder.
When the police got there they took David and I into the station for questioning. We were both put in seperate rooms, when the cop came in he said in a friendly tone," Hi Sasha, I understand that you and the mayors son found Tarra dead in the creek today. Can you tell me exactly what happened yesterday and today?" Nodding i told him everything from the time I got to Tifton to where I was now. After I recapped he said," Okay so what made you want to follow the trail of blood?" Shrugging I say," I've always been very curious and I also didn't know if it was the two of them playing a prank on me or not. Y'know because I'm new in town." The cop, who I noticed was named Larry, asked some more questions and then went to go get David.
When David entered the room i got up and hugged him," God David are you okay?" He gently got away from my grasp and said," I'm fine they just asked me a bunch of questions." Worried I asked," Do you think that they suspect either of us did it?" David shook his head," No they have no proof and they can't falsly accuse someone of a crime. It's illegal." I nodded in agreement," Do you think they will let me borrow a computer? I have to look something up?"

Collecting Suspects

The cops eventually dropped David and I off at the local library. David looked around confused," What are we doing here?" Chuckling I reply," I'm trying to find some suspects. So I figured we should look at everyone's criminal records." David looked even more confused," You know how to do that on a computer?" Nodding I say," Yeah my older brother works for the Apple company in the computer section. So he taught me everything about computers." We soon found the computers and I got to work, the first person on my list was Damien. It turned out he had a huge history from when he lived in Louisiana, I looked at David and said," I know Damien. He tried to kill me and rape me before he was arrested for murders of young girls. I was the only one to make it out alive."David looked a little worried and I think we thought the same thing, Damien wanted to finish the job.

In the end we only had a few suspects and Damien was at the top of the list. The others in that list were; David's mother, my sister's boyfriend(Josh), and the chief of police. David and I decided to do all of this on our own and not get anyone else involved hoping that no one else would get hurt, and we realised we could both be killed if we got close to solving this case.
