A Double Truth

Chapter 4

After interrogating Moira, Skye and Piper drive down to Kensington to pay Chris a visit and try to get some information out of him. 

On arriving at his flat, Chris invites them in for a cup of tea as if it was the most natural thing to do, but even Piper could feel the tension. Chris leads them to the parlor where Skye starts to interrogate him.

"When did you start dating Camille?" Skye asked with a pointed tone.

"About a month after we... uh... broke up." he said quickly.

"Chris, I hope you understand that I came to interrogate you about serious issues. I would prefer that you do not bring up our personal history," Skye states.

"Yes, of course, I understand," Chris says, flustered. 

"When was the last time you saw her?"

"I've been busy down at Royal College of Arts, trying to finish my midterm project, so I haven't even had a chance to talk to her until last night."

"What did you guys talk about?"

"Nothing really, we talked about meeting up tomorrow but I guess that's never happening."

"Anything else?"

"Nah, not really, thought she sounded kind of rushed and nervous and was slurring her words a bit."

"Thank you for your time. If we need to ask about anything else, we'll be in contact."

Skye and Piper leave Chris' house in disappointment since they were unable to obtain anything helpful in solving the case.

They decide to go to Charlene, Camille's neighbor, to see if she noticed anything suspicious around Camille's house last night. When they ring the doorbell to Charlene's house, they are met with silence.

"Do you think Charlene has anything to do with Camille's murder? She's usually home at this time because she doesn't have classes in the afternoon ," Piper says.

"I don't know, but this doesn't feel right. Charlene is always locked up in her room smoking weed if she just wants to unwind and it's dead week so she should be here..." 

Skye looks around suspiciously for any clues that Charlene may have left when she was leaving the house. She notices that Charlene didn't lock the door as if she left the house in a hurry.

"Piper, do you see anything out of the ordinary?"

"Not really, besides the fact that there were some clothes strewn on the driveway," Piper says.

"Do you think Charlene packed up and left town? The evidence, here, shows that Charlene probably ran away from something or someone," Skye walks into the house. The two walk around the house looking for any clues that might lead them to what happened to Charlene. Piper and Skye both walk down the main hall to Charlene's very untidy bedroom.

" Oh my gosh. It looks like she had a huge rave here just recently," Piper says as she stares at the pile of clothes and the drawers of her dresser currently lying on the floor. They find Charlene's trusty bong on the floor of her bedroom clearly signaling to the both of them that Charlene must have been in big trouble if she were to leave her bong behind.

"Honestly, I just hope Charlene is okay, she would never have packed up and left like this, it just doesn't seem like her."

"Look over there, on her desk. It's covered in papers about a Connor Jackson," Skye says.

"But why would she be looking into someone named Connor?," Piper says with a very puzzled look on her face.

" No... do you think Charlene was somehow involved with this Connor in the romantic way?"

"Yeah... I don't think so, Piper, but there has got to be some reason why she would be looking into him. We already know that Charlene hung out with random guys sometimes, in the sense of getting high with one another, but there has to be some other reason," Skye says. 

She looks at the cluster of papers until she finds one particularly interesting.

"Look over here. It says that Connor has a twin sister and her name is, Camille. Oh my gosh! Piper do you know what this means?" Skye says enthusiastically.

"What? I don't get. Camille has a twin brother, Big Whoop," Piper says, shrugging her shoulders.

"This means that whatever happened to Camille could be solved by just asking Connor, right? I mean who better to ask than her twin brother,"Skye says.

"Do you know where he lives?" Piper asks.

"No, but I know someone who might."

Skye quickly rushes out of the house with Piper catching up behind her.
