"YOU CAN TALK?!" We both shouted as the black cat came towards us,
"Why yes! Of course, this isn't a hallucination. This is real life!"
"But- How?" Nina questioned,
"I guess I was born like this, that's why I've always been alone. Never been with family or friends. But, I always know what's going on in New York for the past 8 years." Ruby explained, and I was still shocked..
"Do you know everyone's names here?"
"Yes, but not ALL. Just a few familiar faces and eavesdropping." Ruby said.
"Wait... do you know anything about what happened last year during Christmas?" I asked,
"Oh! Hm.. I believe somebody got murdered here. A shocker. A cruel, unusual murder.... isn't his name Michel LeBeau?"
"YES! That's my boyfriend!" I jumped with excitement,
"Do you know what happened and who killed him?"
"I'm afraid I cannot tell you right away—but I could give you a few clues. I do not spoil the surprise yet." Ruby suggested,
"Oh, but why? Why can't you tell us??" I started to get a bit furious.
"It seems unfair and way too quickly. I suggest try finding extra clues and such... maybe a person? An item that he loved? Well, I must go now... farewell-"
"But WAIT-"
Poof! He disappeared.
"I cannot believe we talked to a CAT... a CAT, NICKY!" Nina shouted,
"Yeah but, she KNOWS what happened to Michel... I need to know so badly..."
"Maybe we should try finding clues as Ruby told us to. We should hand out flyers about Michel."
"I guess so." As we were heading to the arts and crafts store and created a flyer.
DECEASED PERSON
Michel LeBeau has been found dead since December 25, 1951. The last time he was seen was in Cherryville High School. We are trying hard to find out who or what caused him to die, and yes after a year since he has passed away. If anyone has any details, information, or anything about Michel, call our number... *REDACTED* He had brown hair, sea green eyes, 5'11, 160 IBS, french/caucasian.
"This is perfect. Let's hang these up." I said as we ran outside and pinned the flyers on every tree we can find, mostly the big ones. Then, we saw a lot of people looking at our flyers. Yay!
"Hey! Are you Nikole Shevchenko and Nina Fischer?" A guy came up to us,
"Yes, why?" I asked,
"I believe why we know how Michel died... POLIO! It is so obvious!"
"Yeah, I mean... it's spreading a lot now?"
"Exactly!" The guy shouted. Polio? That can't be..
"Woah woah wait, Michel was around 15 when he died. He would be 16 now... so I doubt he got the Polio. Plus he disappeared right away at our school." Nina explained, then the audience got furious,
"If you girls know SOOO much, then why bother creating flyers? Sherlocks..." Then everyone left... I guess we didn't specify his age clear enough.
•••
We headed to Michel's house to see Celeste. We knocked the door and Celeste opened it,
"Ah, welcome!" She waved at us,
"Hi Celeste. So I have created a couple flyers-"
"Yeah, I know, I saw them. Honestly, it's kind of ridiculous if you ask me..."
"How so?" Nina asked.
"Well, he died about a year ago...nobody cares about him anymore...so what's the point?" Celeste explained. That's a bit strange...
"Well, he's my boyfriend, of course I still care!" I shouted, Celeste just rolled her eyes,
"Whatever, fine. You girls do whatever you want to do. You guys won't find any evidence either way-"
"We will. I know we will." I proudly stated as Celeste walked away from us.
"Celeste is acting weird, Nikole." Nina whispered to my ear,
"Yeah, I know—that's weird."
