The ex-athlete (part 1)

part -4(ch-1-Cats?)

After the call ended,Rylie sat on her window sill.

She waited to text Mark, he had replied just a few hours after the interview with Stacey had ended.Rylie had noticed that Stacy had been a bit unsure  when she had asked her the last question,but again she was asking someone about something that happened 9 years ago,she heard the notification from her phone, it was Mark.she took a deep breath and texted back a hello.
                        Transcript of texts written
', you wanna talk about Camelia?really.
Yeah,just a few questions.
Yeah,yeah just get it over with quickly,I don't have the whole day.Mark replied he must've been pretty annoyed.
This time Rylie would choose a different approach she wouldn't ask him the same questions as Stacy,
Straight to the juicy bits.
So, Anything particularly diffrent you'd wanna share with me.?
No, he replied.
Ok, Rylie typed in another question:-
Did Camelia ever mention anything about Amelia.
Yah,she just said she helped Galvin catch the cat.yk.
Who's Galvin?
The target coach.duhh
Ok .Rylie replied she was already ANNOYED and he wasn't helping at ALL.
Bye.Mark texted and went offline.
Shit! Rylie said aloud.there was nothing she could do know.
She sat out there for a few minutes before something clicked, her mum's letters!she hadn't read them in days they could help, she ran inside and rummaged through the box until she found a note with the number 3 written this would be the third letter.
But the note was not what she had expected.
'The note had stated'
To catch the cat will intern help in a way that's not quite 'it' but when she was bribed with mice she came out quite nice.
Stupid cats! Rylie said she went back to the window and sat with a book in which she tried to figure out some theories .
Cat spelled backwards is tac,and that could mean that it's some candy being bribed to mice,no that doesn't make sense she told herself.
RYLIE!!she heard someone shout.she looked down and it was "him" again.
What is it now, Hynjuin?she said with a annoyed face .
Wanna talk?he asked
About what?
Just come down.
Whatever,
Pleaseeeeeeeeee.
Ok, stop, but  maybe his annoyance would make her forget about freakin cats. For a while,
So are you coming?he asked.
Yeah,yeah.with that been said she walked downstairs and there he was standing.
So what did you wanna talk about?
Just how is your case going and all that kinda stuff.he answerd.
Nothing much.
Did you talk to that Stacy gal.
Yeah, and Mark chang.
What did he say?
He said something about Camelia helping Galvin to catch some cat(and there it goes she had come down for a walk to FORGET about cats not talk about them.)
Who's this Galvin guy?
Just her gun shooting coach?
Ahhhh,I didn't know that, honestly I didn't know anything,
What do you think a cat could mean?he asked
I was working on it, maybe tac like cat spelled backwards, it could indicate the candies on Halloween
?
Who gives that as candy anyways,he said.
That's better than toothpaste,.wait wasn't you family the one who gave out toothpaste,she said with a smirk.
'Should we just go and get ice creams to give our brain s a rest?' He turned to her with a smile.
Probably?
I'll take that as a yes.'as long as you're a cookie dough kinda gal.Quote Hynjuin,he said dramatically into an invisible microphone,' a thesis on the best flavour of ice - cream -
'Shut up.'
'OK',
They talked a bit more, before the each parted ways.
          The next day.
Rylie had spent the entire night researching, trying numbers and making notes. Today was the day she would talk to Galvin even though she could barely be awake.
She picked up her car keys said a perfectunary good bayeee to her dad who had just come home yesterday.
She drove to the adress,the building was big but old, it had a sign with a racoon holding a gun , It was more weird than hilarious.
She walked into a cabin right next to the large lawn.
She walked inside and she instantly felt disgusting, it smelled like didh soap,tea and sweat, It smelled way worse then how it's being described.she walked towards the front desk.
There was an old lady,who didn't hesitate to shake her hands.she seemed quite nice.
Hi you must be Rylie right?
Yes.
You can go to the room right there,she pointed towards a door with a racoon sign,she wondered why they were so obsessed with racoons.none the less as she enters the room , the door made a slight squeak.infront of her she saw a man with glasses a baseball cap which suprise suprise also had a racoon.
Hello.the man waved to her.
Hi,you must be Galvin.
Yes,how may I help you today?
Rylie wanted to start of the conversation with an easy going question, so naturally she started with the most intriguing one.
So,not to be rude,but what's with the racoon obsession
Oh , my grandmother used to love them so that's why.
Rylie didn't know why but she was expecting a more interesting answer.
(The interview went on for a couple more minutes before something clicked something that actually made sense Galvin had said that he and Camelia were close as in a coach and student ( not what you are thinking) and that Camelia had helped him) but she still didn't know how she helped or what did she help him with)when she had reached home  she had been working on ways in which camelia could've helped Galvin , the most prominent one seemed to be a theory which stated that Galvins wife had a cat and that cat  might've been saved by Camelia , to make shore that this theory was true she pulled out her phone and started to text Galvin hope fully he would see the message, she scrolled down the screen to see if any body else had replied, noone she said in a whisper to herself just then she saw a text Hynjuin had texted her something  she didn't wanna see it but  she had allready opened the message so she'd have to reply. By it made sense, he'd texted that the cat word could mean catfish. It all seemed to work out catching the cat as in catching the catfish and that would mean that she would be bribed with money and Galvin had a cat fish!yes that was it , Rylie told herself that she could do it.but she still  wasn't shure maybe that was too far too complicated but there was no other way out this was all she had', but she stilldidn't know who could it be , she had her string of suspicion around 3 main people the first was Stacy because of her unusual behaviour while the interview with her had been more emotional the texts with Mark had been too easy it seemed like he was the one who had moved on but it still didn't make sense their behaviours differed so much in the other hand Camelia had had a fight with Amelia not so long ago and that would also give her a reason to be mad at her.but there was one simple way that she could find the catfish . Camelia was looking at the socials of some of her suspects when she came across something that was quite unusual when she clicked on the mutual list of Mark he found another account, which when she clicked on was a secret account it featured many pictures of party's and frats . It seemed like this was the account that he didn't want college's to find out about ,' It was common for people to create separate accounts and this one must've been his account. ',she scrolled down all the way to the old post's when she saw another party post she was about to scroll quickly down it when she saw that Camelia was also in the picture she wasn't shure if it was her house but when she checked the date it made her jaw drop the picture was taken on the day Camelia had disappeared. To make shure she googled the blue prints and marked the place where the photo was taken the blue print was old and wasn't very clear as the website was obviously not being updated. She wasn't shure if the picture was in front of the bathroom door or the main door she took her guess and marked the spot near the main gate. While she was doing all this she had almost forgotten all about the catfish but lucky for her she had a plan a sneaky one .
