The Killer of Lilydale//Mystery Novel

Chapter 3

       Vallen arrived first to the meeting and he snuck into their selected spot, which was underneath the stairs in the janitors closet. The janitor, Mr. Franklin allowed the trio in the space after Margo had been bullied as a freshmen and she needed somewhere to get away from the boys trying to force her to do things she did not want to do. Vallen and Raven had been the first to spot here rushing to the closet and follered her, now it was their honorary space. Margo arrived soon after, followed by Raven. Margo sputtered "Okay guys listen up we need to get out of this sticky situation ASAP before w- "

"We will figure this out Margo calm down before my dead grandmother hears you!" Raven shouted.

"B-but how d-do you kn-ow f-for su-re,"

"Okay maybe not for sure but we can't give up and turn our backs away from the people we love,"

"O-oh yea you are one to talk, ms. let me change evrything about me to get my parents attention"

"W-wow, Margo.." she started to tear up.

"R-raven, I-I didn't mean to say that.."

"No, Margo y-yea you're right but what am I supposed to do live without parents for the rest of my life"

"O-oh yea l-like me I-"

Vallen pushed between them, as they had been getting closer to eachother as they argued. "You both need to stop we have matters on our hands that are life or inprisonment, we have relied on eachother for so long don't stop now, we all tepeed Liverworts house we all need eachother to get out of this." Then Margo remembered the horrid feeling she had felt when she looked into the stranger's eyes at Liverworts house, instead she just said, "Maybe we should start by going back to the scene of the crime and see if we can find anything to help us out a little"

"That is a great idea Margo but how are we gonna get in to the house without getting held back by the cops it is still an active crime scene" Vallen questioned.

"Remember we are working with the sheriff so we won't get run off if we warn the sheriff we are going back their." Raven recalled. BEEP, BEEP It was Vallen's phone, his mother was calling for him to come home. "Guys I have to go my mom needs me home." Truth is Vallen didn't want to leave, he didn't want to go home and see his mother on the couch surrounded by beer bottles. He didn't want to see her sulking around, his father leaving shattered her, destroyed Vallen's loving mother. The mother that raised him and took him to the movies on Saterdays and to the playground on Wednesdays. For now hthe best he could do was clean her up, turn off the t.v., and wrap a blanket around her.
