The Man of Many Hats

Chapter 14

I exited the house. I walked to my car.

Guess what I saw. Diedrich Powell and his friends spray painting the windows. His friends took off running. Diedrich looked at them and noticed why. He started to wobble off. I ran to him and stopped him. I said,

"Diedrich, don't mess with my car."

Diedrich blurted,

"Iyut wasn't me! I swayer!"

Does he not know I watched him do it.

"Diedrich, I watched you do it. Now give me twenty bucks. I need it for the car wash."

I held out my hand. He started to say something. He stopped. He reached in his pocket and gave me the money. He wobbled off.

I looked at what the words on the car said. One read, U suck! Another read, I m a freek. Another read, Diedrich Was Here.

The only one properly spelled was the one who claimed he didn't do it. I grinned and drove to the car wash.

I paid the overpriced car wash man. He started it up. I closed my eyes. Thump!

What was that? I thought. I saw a woman. Her eyes were closed. She was wearing a sports cap. I was scared. I waited till it all ended before I grabbed the hat. It finally ended. I hopped out. I pushed the corpse off my car. I grabbed the hat. Surprise, Surprise! A note was on the inside. It read 12of15. I was to close to dying. I was absolutely terrified. I left.

I went home. The hat was sucked up to the pile. I ran to my laptop. I looked up murder on train in Durnasville. I found what I needed.

On it was a picture of the man and his family. The news article read,

The note was surprising. So the killer's name was Richard too. I now know the man's name. Oscar Murrans.

I kept searching. I looked up, Man who wears sunglasses new report. The first thing that popped up was all I needed.

The next person's name was Richard. I again looked up, Man of Many Hats.

My face popped up all over the screen.
