Just remember in and out in and out just breath

Her feet crushed leaves as she ran through the forest she panted as she panicked.

"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT" She yelled.

"HEY, STOP RIGHT THERE" A man yelled at her.

"YEAH, SORRY BUT THAT'S NOT HAPPENING" The girl yelled back.

The girl jumped over a ditch as the man fell in.

"HAH TAKE THAT" The girl screamed.

The girl slows down as she reaches a small cabin in the woods that has a no trespassing sign on it. The girl bangs on the door.

"EL OPEN THE DAMN DOOR" The girl shouted still banging.

The door opened to reveal a lovely girl with tired violet eyes, fair skin, and flowing messy black hair.

"It's 2 in the morning why were you banging on the door Gabs" El asked.

"Oh well for one good morning Eleanor, and two I kinda, sorta, mighta forgot my keys" Gabs replied.

Eleanor opened the door fully to let the girl 'Gabs' in.

"How did you forget your keys weren't you out with your keychain?" El asked.

"Well yes but I accidentally took yours and for some reason you removed the house key!" Gabs said shutting the door behind her.

"Ok don't do that next time" El said back.

~~~~~~1 week later~~~~~~

"Ugh another easy one" Gabs said to herself walking down the sidewalk.

Gabs walked into a bar and ordered a drink. She looked at the tv as there was breaking news.

"Breaking news The Marionette Killer at it again striking only one week after their last kill this victim was found sprawled out on the floor of his apartment in a terrible position and was found by his roommate, oh we've just received new information the victim's name was Frank Gibbson" The lady on the tv spoke.

"Hm looks like it's in alphabetical order" A woman said.

Gabs looked at her confused.

"Oh sorry I was talking to myself" The woman said embarrassed.

"No please go on what do you mean alphabetical order" Gabs asked.

"Oh well the last victim was Earl Thompson and before that Dave Headword and so on" The woman said.

"Oh that makes sense" Gabs said understanding.

"I wish I could be a detective but I'm just a traffic cop" The woman said sadly.

"Oh well I wanted to be an astronaut" Gabs said to make the woman feel better.

"Heh we can't all be what we want. Anyways I'm Giselle" Giselle said.

"I'm Gabs" Gabs said in return.

"So what's your job?" Giselle asked.

"Oh I'm a nightguard for the local mall, it's usually slow days" Gabs replied.

"Cool, so do you want to help me solve this mystery?" Giselle asked Gabs while watching her intently.

"Sure why not, I got nothing better to do" Gabs answered leaning back a little too far.

"AH" Gabs yelled as she fell backwards off the bar stool.

"Whoops" Gabs said slightly embarrassed.

"Haha, c'mon up we go" Giselle said as she helped Gabs up.

~~~~~~Giselle's Apartment~~~~~~

"Ugh there is almost no trail how will we catch the killer" Giselle says in frustration.

"May-be look for pa-tterns" Gabs said as she shoved chips in her mouth.

"Good idea, also please don't eat all my chips" Giselle said while sighing.

"Okay let's review the victims First Alphie Gray found dead in his apartment on New Year's Day, arms and legs snapped pointing in the wrong direction, Next Buck Carlson found dead in his apartment on Valentine's Day the same year, arms and legs twisted, Then Charlie Manford found dead in his apartment on St. Patrick's Day, arms and legs also twisted, Next Dave Headword found dead in his apartment on April Fool's Day, his arms and legs twisted, Then Earl Thompson found dead in his apartment on Mother's Day, arms and legs twisted, and Last victim was Frank Gibbson found dead in his apartment on Canada Day, arms and legs also twisted." Gabs read off of the whiteboard in the room.

"Oh my go-
