The Notes

The Graveyard

"Hashtag RR? What does that mean?" asked Anna.

"Maybe," said Mr Henry. "RR is the name of a person. How many people do we know whose initial starts with the letter 'R'?"

"There's that weird guy who lives next to us. His name is Riker Emanuel. But that shall probably be #RE!"

All of a sudden, Elizabeth screamed, "Robinson Rodriguez! His wife told me he would be in France. And she got annoyed when I asked too many questions. It has got to be him!"

"I agree with Elizabeth," said Henry. "But just in case, let's try getting more information out of David."

Mr Henry went to England for a few days. The next day, Elizabeth received another note.

'LEAVE THE CASH AT JIM MORRISON'S REST, ILL MEET YOU THERE AT THIS MIDNIGHT'

Anna and Elizabeth looked at that letter. "Is it just me or do I feel that all of these weird notes have been made using the same typewriter? All of them have the same kind of letters and digits," said Elizabeth. Anna agreed. "Jim Morrison's rest? That probably means his graveyard. I have passed that place many times," said Anna.

"What does that mean? What cash? Who is this person?" Elizabeth panicked. "Why should I meet him there at midnight?"

"There's only one way to find out," said Anna. "I've never actually been inside a graveyard at midnight, let's give it a shot! Besides, I'll be there by your side."

Elizabeth felt nervous. The graveyard at midnight? And she didn't even know who was expecting her there! 'I need to solve this case, so I need to gather up all my courage and go there.' she thought.

They decided to go visit Mr David again, thinking that they might get some proper answers from him this time, but the guards at the gate told the girls that Mr David was out and wouldn't be back by late in the night. On their way back home, Elizabeth and Anna discussed the events that had occurred recently.

They decided to go to the graveyard. Anna was all prepared. They had a flashlight to help see in the dark, two extra cell phones to call someone in an emergency, and some dry food and water.

"Think about it this way, Elizabeth," said Anna. "By sunrise, you're going to figure out who some random rascal is."

Elizabeth gathered up her courage and went to the graveyard with her cousin. They reached there at quarter to twelve in the night. "15 minutes left..." whispered Anna. The duo waited near Jim Morrison's gravestone. "All of a sudden, I think I just like to quit..."

Anna put her hand on Elizabeth's mouth before she could even complete the sentence. Both the girls' hearts skipped a beat when they heard footsteps coming from in front of them!

In the pitch black darkness, the girls could see a young gentleman. He sounded rather grumpy. Elizabeth couldn't figure out if it was Mr Rodriguez or not. The man seemed to be waiting. After 10 minutes of waiting, the man grew impatient. He screamed, "Where are you, you nasty Kenneth? I hope you've left 'it'!"

All of a sudden, Elizabeth's instincts told her that she was being watched.

"Kenneth! Hurry up! I need 'it' you know. That David guy wouldn't believe me if I didn't have 'it'."

The girls looked confused. Elizabeth's instincts scared her every second. She looked around. She could see a man but didn't have time to take notice of his appearance. Instead, she fell into a deep sleep.
