Not Me ~ A Hamliza Mystery

Sister Detectives

A/N: this us set in 2022 I guess but no covid

Eliza called her sisters after the police had left. She didn't want to just sit idly and hope that Alexander came home in the next two days. She knew something was wrong and had to get to the bottom of it if the police did nothing. This is why everyone says "don't trust the police." 

20 minutes after her text was sent, the Schuyler Sisters were reunited. Eliza knew the three of them could find Alex and crack this case. After all, they did watch murder mystery documentaries every day of their childhood. She just hoped this wasn't a murder.

Angelica pulled out her laptop and sat on the couch, opening a document so they could keep track of their clues and notes.

"Ok, so when was the last time you saw Alex?" Angelica asked, using her phone to record even though Eliza pretty much had this memorized from having to tell the police over and over.

"Last night, around 10pm. He was in his office, wearing his work clothes. I went in and told him I was going to bed. He kissed my cheek then returned his focus to his laptop. He was looking at Facebook, I believe. Nothing inappropriate or anything but it did look strange to me... most of the pictures were animals? Then I left his office and went to our room and went to bed." She said, revealing a little more to her sisters than she did to the police.

Angelica nodded and typed a few things in. "Could you see the username of the account?" She asked, Eliza shook her head and sighed. Angelica nodded and opened a new tab, logging into Alex's Facebook. "What's his password?" She asked.

Eliza smiled. "Our wedding day, I think." Angelica tried everything she could, hoping at least one would work. Assuming the password is their wedding day.

"We're in!" Peggy smiled and sat beside her sisters, staring at the screen as Angelica scrolled through Alex's feed. Nothing unusual on there so she went to his Friends list. She scrolled through everyone she knew and kept going until they found a strange username with a turtle as a profile picture.

Peggy gasped. "It's Norman!" She exclaimed. The other sisters looked at her strange. "John's turtle, Norman. I don't know that page though. It's not John's and Norman doesn't have his own Facebook. Not that he can operate a phone-" she laughed a little.

Angelica clicked on it and most of the pictures were animals. "This is the page!" Eliza said as Angelica scrolled halfway down. "He was really deep in this- scroll back to the top. Is there a name? Business? Anything?"

Angelica did so and looked through the bio.

They all looked to eachother, knowing this page would be a link to wherever Alex was. This page gave them hope. Now they just needed to figure out why he was looking so far down on this page.

"What are we looking for?" Peggy asked as Angelica scrolled up and down, up and down, up and down.  She heard her sister sigh heavily.

"Anything. Why don't I keep looking while you two go search his office for anything you think might be relevant." Angelica smiled. Eliza nodded and grabbed Peggy's arm, pulling her up the stairs to the office.

Angelica clicked on a photo from a year ago. It was October 26 and had a caption "Best day of my life. Marrying my second favorite person. To my first, I will get you back."
She gulped a bit and took a picture, adding it to the document. "This could be a threat to anyone... but it seems relevant enough..." she muttered to herself and logged off.

She heard her sisters rummaging around upstairs so she decided to go see what all the fuss was about. What did they find?
