The California Adventure

Chapter 17: What lead to the present.

Eve stared at the wall that laid before her. All the theories and pictures of Vinanelle and on a billboard. She has been recently discharged from the hospital and took it upon herself to find Vinanelle at all costs, but she also knew that she was going to have to recruit some friends and allies to catch the killer.

Kenny was the first to join.

"Saved me a lot of trouble to get here," Kenny said, sipping his cup of coffee.

"I know. Sorry," Eve replied.

"For what?"

"Everything that's happened so far. Even keeping you out of the loop on Vinanelle," Eve replied again.

"Apology accepted then."

"Anyway, we have got to find Vinanelle before she kills anyone else. She is also going very competitive in my book so any suggestions on what we should we do?"

"I say that we recruit some allies to find Vinanelle."

"An excellent idea."

And recruiting they did, but no one was interested or stood out in the field.

But one day...

A young man was rushing towards the airport for a trip to England after learning that he is the father to twin boys. And that young man happens to Carl Gallagher.

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon! I hope I'm not too late!"

The young man rushed to the maintenance to get tickets to England but unfortunately...

"Sorry sir. We're overbooked. We'll have a ticket for you by tomorrow," said the woman from the maintenance desk.

Carl quietly sighed not to upset the woman so he accepted an overnight stay at the airport and just as he turned the corner, he ran into a woman.

"Oh hi there!"

"Hello... you must be Carl Gallagher."

"Uh...yeah. How did you know my name?"

"I'm Eve. Eve Polastri," the woman introduced herself, extending her hand to Carl.

Carl shook back and after a moment of silence...

"Hey, um... you don't happen to have $1000 in cash? I actually happen to have caught a fugitive not that long ago and I need it for my trip to England..." Carl began but Eve wasn't buying Carl's ruse.

"First off, I don't happen to have $1000 in cash with me, secondly, I don't SEE your said caught fugitive. How dumb do you even think I am?" Eve asked sharply.

Carl froze, knowing he might get arrested then he tried to make a run for his life, but Eve was faster than Carl.

Moments later, Eve tackled Carl to the ground to make sure he didn't try to escape or make noises but she knocked him out cold immediately.

"Drat!" Eve groaned.

Later...

Carl groaned hard, feeling his head pounding viciously and looked around the room and saw Eve sitting in a chair right in front of him.

"You're awake. Finally. I was starting to wonder whether you would come to," Eve spoke calmly to Carl.

"What do you... what do you want? I'm just clearing my head to get away from all the drama," Carl groaned.

"And I get that. But running away from an authority figure won't change that," Eve responded calmly.

The she continued:
