MYSTERY GIRL

Chapter 2

                Yeah, I know right? Plot twist! That's what I was thinking. There was a funeral service for Natalie and they launched an investigation. Everything was completely not my business and I stayed away from it. Well, until one night......
                                  • • •
                  I wake to a noise on my bedroom window. I look and see a shadow opening it. I scream and hide under the covers.
"Nice scream," the shadow taunts. But I recognize the voice.
It's Skylar. In a black hoodie with her blonde hair braided to the side.
"Skylar?!," I whisper,"What the heck?! Why are you here!"
"I need help."
"With what?"
"Solving the mystery of Natalie's murder."
"That's insane! And also none of our business!"
"Why are you like that? Just go on this one adventure with me. Please!"
"But...."
"No buts. Just follow me. And we'll begin our adventure."
"Fine."
"Now THAT'S more like it! I'm driving!"
                                 • • •
              "Where are we going?," I ask once we're in the car.
"Natalie's house," Skylar says.
"Will Austin let us in?," I ask.
"Nope," Skylar grins,"That's why this is an adventure."
                  Then she speeds out of the driveway.
                                • • •
                  At Natalie's house, I head to the front door but Skylar starts climbing up the house.
"Are you crazy?!," I whisper.
"Nope!," she says,"I'm logical. We can't break in through the front door, Austin would notice!"
I moan and follow her up all the way until we reach the roof. She opens Natalie's bedroom window and jumps into her room. I do the same.
"Is breaking in through windows just your thing?," I gasp.
"I guess," she smirks. "Look around for clues."
I look around the room and see nothing interesting. But I do see something that a guy would not want to see in a girls' room. But then a map catches my eye. A place is circled on the map.
"I found something," I say.
"Good,"she says. She looks at the map." The destination is at Brenndale.
"Brenndale?!," I shout,"But that town is deserted now!"
Then, downstairs, Austins' voice is heard."WHO'S THERE?!"
"Ugh!," Skylar says,"This is why you don't shout during a heist!"
Austin storms into the room with Teresa by his side.
"Run!", I shout.
Skylar pushes them into the wall and dashes out of the window. I quickly follow.
We scurry down the house and run to the car. She starts it and speeds away.
With Austin and Teresa following us with THEIR car.
