Scarlett's P. O. V:I was with Jade and Becky on the hay bales as we look for clues about the horse thieves.
Today I'm wearing a short sleeved orange shirt with a quarter zip that's a little undone at the top, with black jodhpurs and tall black boots, my hair in a braid.
Becky, jade and I find a light brown riding crop in the hay bales while looking for clues about the horse thieves.
I take out my cellphone to call Zoe through video and she answers.
"Hey, guys. Anything to report?"
Becky tells her, "We found a clue."
I add, "A. K. A: some lost property."
"It's engraved," Says Becky as she turns the brown crop around to examine the handle. "It looks like M something. What starts with m?"
Jade says, "Molecularity." She glances between us as she adds, "It's to do with the number of moly and a chemical reaction."
".... Yes," Says Becky after a long pause as she flips the crop around.
Zoe suggests, "Or maybe m stands for Marcus? Where did you find this, Becky?"
"It was here in the yard this morning. It wasn't here when I left last night," The blonde replies as the sound of hooves clopping on the stones catches our attention. It was Pin leading Raven to the field.
"How's Raven doing?" Zoe asks.
"He's here," I say. "Look." I tap the flip button on my screen so Zoe could see the black horse. I notice Raven has a braid in his tail.
Jade reassures Zoe, "Don't worry. We're all keeping an eye on him."
Zoe suddenly leans forward with a frown. Becky utters, "Whoa! I just saw right up your nose."
"Wait, wait, wait! Okay. Show me Raven again?" I tap the button to flip the camera. Zoe lets out a gasp as I zoom into Raven's tail. "You guys, look at his tail! It's braided!"
Becky exclaims in realisation, "Thieves use braids to mark horses they're planning to steal!"
I remind the Phillips, holding up my free hand, "You said they'd come back for him!"
Zoe says in a panicked voice, "We need a plan! Meet me in the cafe in half an hour!" She adds with a frown, "And get somebody to unbraid that tail!"
I say, "I'm meeting Marcus, Susie and Mia for breakfast at the cafe, but I'll take care of that tail. Zoe nods her head.
Zoe jumps to her feet and races back to her house behind her before we hang up.
We head out to Raven before Pin releases him and I talk soothingly to the black horse as I near his rump. "Easy, boy, I'm just undoing the braid in your tail." I swiftly untie it and stand back, happy his tails' back to normal.
