YO. OKAY BYE


               Soon, the police arrived, as well as examiners. The police stood guard and looked at the bodies, while the examiners examined the bodies. 

               "They seem to have been shopping, and they were shot in the head, doing heavy cranial damage and making it impossible to take a sample and test back at a lab. These three are identified to be Blake Snow, Lauren Smith, and Brent Turner. No weapons on any of them. It's strangely impossible to tell who shot them or which way he shot them because there were no fingerprints on them. The blood is distributed evenl-" 

              "Hey Rob look at this! We found a note in a hidden pocket claiming to be..." he paused for a moment trying to read the messy scrawl, "the murderer with some unreadable smudged handwriting. We have to go now to the lab and decipher the readings!"

              With that the police and investigators drove away, masking off the area in a wall of caution tape. No one dared to step onto that street for the rest of the day. 

              ---Time Skip---  

2 weeks later: 1:13 a.m in the middle of a grass field... 2 screams were heard, then sweet silence.

On Saturday approximately at 1:15 a.m. , 2 lovers by the name of Jordan Brown and 

Sarah Smiles were stabbed by knife in the middle of a wheat field of a farmer named Joe 

Mastick. He claims to have heard the 2 screams, and when he and his wife ran to the wheat

 field, they found the 2 lovers bodies propped up against a pumpkin and a wheelbarrow. 

Carved into the wheelbarrow were the words: "Strike 2", and the bloody knife lay beside 

it. The knife was examined with no fingerprints and no amount of harm, although the 

knife's edge was duller, and the second and 3rd ridges of the knife were flat. The bodies 

were examined, and seemed to have been stabbed in the neck. Much like the murder on 

Bleeker Street, Manhattan, there was a note with a similar smudged scrawl. There were 

also 2 hard caramels found in each of the killed one's pockets, and we are still trying to 

find out why. Scientists   have taken it into the lab for fingerprint examination and note 

deciphering. Results will be out next week. Right now farmer Joe Mastick and his wife are 

being taken to heavy interrogation, and their home is being searched for any weapons or 

strange questionable things. They claim to have been sleeping, and the sudden noise 

awoke them. They struggled to find their pickaxes and rakes and slowly approached the 

field. The murderer was long gone, and we have no idea who did it. We'll come back on this

 next Tuesday, but for now, this is all we know. 


From that moment on, people were afraid of Bleeker Street. 

At 12:00 a.m. on Bleeker Street, a tall, middle-aged man decided to see what the fuss was all about, and stepped onto the deserted street. A single gunshot was heard, followed by manical laughter, and a door slam. And a rustling of luggage. 


Make that 6 for the murderer, 0 for the people.
