Notes |-/SEPTIPLIER|-/

Chapter 6

--Mark POV--

I stared, bewildered at the fact that I de-coded the message. "I, I did it!" I exclaimed excitedly. "Let's do the next one." I grabbed the note labeled 2 and unfolded it.

Wklv lv jrqqd eh ixq.

I typed it in and pressed enter

This is gonna be fun.

"So Septiceye has been using Ceaser Cipher to write his notes. Interesting."

I grabbed a random note from the box. I flipped it over and it was labeled 42.

Wow. This guy wrote a lot of notes. And they were all addressed to me? Kinda odd.

I typed in what the note said.

Hello Mark. Glad to see you've been de-coding my messages. Suspicious? Probably. You will find out soon enough. Until then.

"How did this guy know I de-coded his messages?" I said aloud.

I dug through the box more and there wasn't a note labeled higher than 42.
"I guess that was coincidentally the last not- " I froze, and remembered the note in my pocket. I took it out and labeled it with a black Sharpy. 43.
"There we go. I muttered to myself. Now what do you say, little note?"
I unfolded it and typed in the nonsense letters into the decoder.

Lvq'w wklv ixq?

Isn't this fun?

"Okay... That's totally not freaky at all. I need to show these to the chief." I gathered all the notes I de-coded and put them into the box. I then grabbed the box, stood up, and walked out of my office to the lobby.

"Hey Dante!" I walked over to her with the box in my had.
"Sup Mark!" She said with a smile. "Need anything?" I set the box down on the side of her desk.
"Actually, I do. Can you contact the chief for me? I need to speak to him of the Septiceye case. I found something." She grabbed her desk phone and typed in some numbers.

"Hey chief! Mark needs to speak with you of the Septiceye case. He says he found something." There was a slight pause.

"Really? Ok! He'll be there in 5.
Ok! Thank you." Dante hung up on the phone and looked at me.
"Chief is actually in town! He says to meet him across the street at the coffee shop in 5. Do you need anything from the box?" She looked at it with slight curiosity.

"I opened it up and grabbed the notes labeled 1, 2, 42, and 43.
"Ya I just need these three notes. Can you hang onto the box for me?" Dante replied with a smile.

"Sure! Just hand it to me and I'll keep a good eye on it." I grabbed the box and handed it to her. Our hands touched as I handed her the box and we both blushed.

"Here you go. I'll be on my way now." I walked over to the door and opened it, giving her a last glance before I left, and our eyes met.

"See you soon!" I shouted to her, as I walked out the door to the coffee shop. "Time to meet the chief."
