Ash and the Christmas killer.

Breaking into a dead guys place like a family.

The boys helped cover for me while I got to work picking the lock.
"And just about......" I told before we all heard the click. "God Billy is the best for teaching me that."
We all quickly rushed into the house and quickly made our way up the stairs to the hall overlooking the living room.
"You good Spence?" I asked as Shawn went over to the spot Fuller was found hanging.
"We broke into a dead guys place, Ash."
"This is actually quite a common occurrence with us."
"Really?!"
"Guys?"
"Yeah pretty much." They told before Shawn grabbed my hand to show me something.
"What is it?"
"There's a lot of rope marks on the bannister here."
"What you suspecting?"
"Bill being Bill would have pulled him up. And Winnie is not that strong enough to do this."
"Exactly what I was thinking." He told making us high five.
We looked at one of the walled to see a bunch of sticky notes stuck there with simple reminders. Stuff like 'Lock the door', 'Turn off stove' and 'Keys'.
'This is a bit weird.'
"Let's hurry up. This place gives me the creeps." Gus told making us head further into the house.
We entered the room that had a bow window and in front of them. Gus went to look through the closet while Spencer looked at what was in the old desk. Shawn sat in the rocking chair facing the window and pulled me into his lap, allowing us to have the perfect view of the street.
"Kinda like the attic back home." I stated.
"So true."
"The truest of trues!" I told before we realised we could actually see everything.
"Bingo!" Shawn told having us get up as he turned to Gus. "This must be how Old Man Fuller saw your mom burn your dad's boat."
Gus walked up behind us and Spencer went to do the same, making the two step on a creaky floorboard. It caused Shawn to look down and Gus tried it again.
"Dude, there's something in there." Shawn told.
"What do you think it is?" Gus asked as he did the same movement onto the board.
Shawn shook his head and Gus bent over, making Shawn make the sound of a heartbeat. Gus glared towards him, making Shawn put on an innocent face. He began to go down again and Shawn started to imitate a heartbeat again. He would stop when Gus would look up to him, and they repeated their actions again for a third time.
"Will you stop it, Shawn? You know how that story gives me the creeps." Gus stated.
"It puts me to sleep." I admitted.
"That's kinda on me." Spencer told.
Shawn continued to do a heartbeat, but sped it up a bit. As revenge, Gus kneeled down and began to move the rocking chair with his hands.
"Norman! Norman!" He told in a high pitch voice.
"Stop." Shawn told nervously.
"Norman!" He repeated it.
"Okay, stop it, that's enough! That's enough! Game over." Shawn told
"Fine."
Shawn slowly kneeled down before reaching his hands to his heart, ready to make the sound effect. Gus quickly reached for the rocking chair in retaliation.
"Don't play, Shawn."
"Guys, maybe we should speed this up. We are doing something illegal." Spencer told.
"Spencer will become someone's Bitch if we went to prison..... or he will actually make people go into solitary confinement by pretending they stabbed him in the leg."
"I would not do well in prison. It's why Ash has been the more I'll attack people if they mess with you."
"It's true. I killed and knocked out a few people in a group of ten, all because they kidnapped him and threatened to kill him."
"God you got hotter." Shawn told.
Me and Spencer joined them on the ground and together, we all pried the floorboard up to reveal binoculars, a camera with a telescopic lens as well as a tripod, and Shawn pulled out a beat-up envelope.
"This is strange." I admitted.
"Just as I thought. He was snooping on the entire neighborhood from up here. These are his blackmail pictures." He told as he pulled some out to show us.
"Dang, Fuller was so good at the blackmail shit..... I knew there was a suburban pot farm. You both owe me the ten bucks I gave you both." I told making them nod, before Shawn listed another one.
"Bootleg DVD ring. None of these are really cause for murder." He told before showing us a picture of lovers through a window, the woman's face was hidden, but we could see she had a wedding ring on. "Covering an illicit affair. Now that's what I call motive."
"Big one." I added as we looked at the distinctive window frame in the photo.
"What?" Gus and Spencer asked.
Shawn didn't say anything but stand up and walk over to the window, having me do the same. He used the camera to examine the windows and I had Spencer pass the travel size telescope he carried around to help.
"You see anything?" Gus asked as we kept looking.
"Hurry up."
"Boi I will smack you!" I told looking at him.
"I know where our culprit lives." Shawn told finding the house making me look to see it.
"Oh fancy. Hey Spencey!"
"Yeah."
"Grab the photos, we gonna have Penelope go through them and find out who lives where."
"How do we explain this?"
"Tell her to ask me, I'll come up with something." I told.
