||Hello Neighbour: A Better Timeline||

||Chapter 32: Debates||

As Wilson walked around the school, checking for anything he noticed little handprints inside the art room.
Peering inside, the kids all turned to him as he examined the handprints on the door and one side of the walls.
"Why are there little handprints on the wall and door?"
The kids looked at one another, all of them having been doing handprint art so; All could have done it.
"Why are there little handprints on the door?"
. . .
"Cause we have tiny hands?"
Ivan holding up his hands, Maritza nods and turned to Wilson,"It's cause we have tiny hands.", she said that with such confidence as well.
He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why didn't you tell Ike, Quentin and Beatrix?"
Otto leaned back in his chair,"Cause I don't want to cause Ike any trouble, it ain't his fault.", Otto shrugged, taking his hat off and resting his head on his hand, headache coming back,"And besides, I dunno if they did do it and I'd hate to cause any stress to Ike.", "True. . .", Keith tucked the notebook in his pocket, Leslie having checked the house though he was very much scared of Otto and his. . . Projects, even if they were dead; They currently creeped him out.
"We'll leave you to it and let you know if we find anything."
Otto nods,"Ya know where the door is hopefully.", Keith nods, signals to take their leave.
Leslie gladly left, what the shop/home being creepy.
"But what does someone gain out of attacking Otto and taking his dead crows and ravens?"
"I. . . I've been trying to think of that myself, but so fair; Got nothing."
First Valeria dies, then Otto gets attacked though it seems things have calmed down so. . . There's some peace, but he's never gonna get peace from his own mind.

"Here you are kiddo"
Gerda handed Nicky a bag, he smiled and took it,"Thank you!", Gerda smiled, she was pretty nice and friendly.
Beatrix smiled, leaning against the counter and smiling,"So how about dinner tonight?", Gerda chuckled,"Okay, Okay.", Beatrix jumped with joy,"I'll pick you up tonight.", Gerda bid her goodbye, the store door dinging as she left.

"Guess who just got a date??"
Ike turned to her,"She agreed?", "Yep! Dinner tonight!", Ike was glad Beatrix seemed more focused on asking Gerda out than snooping around if only he could get Quentin to stop it and not cause trouble.
"Hmm."
"What's on your mind, bro?"
"Ah, don't worry about."

Nicky offered some of the treats to Aaron and Mya,"I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow.","Really? Why something special happening??", Nicky nods,"My Grandparents from my Dad's side are coming to stay for a bit.", Aaron was interested, Nicky did look pretty happy about it.
"What about your Mom's side?"
His smiled seemed to weaver, but only for a split second.
"No, just my Dad's side."
