"Whatcha got?" I asked as I sat on the couch next to Macey.

"Well, not much that the average Joe wouldn't already know," she replied with a disappointed sigh, not turning away from the monitor.

She had been on her laptop for the last half hour doing research on the White strangling. The victim was 9-year-old Jasmine, the suspect was her mother, Alice, who was nowhere on the property, although her blood could be found in the bathroom. And not just a few drops, but a whole splatter that the authorities say isn't an amount one can lose and then survive; however, until more evidence is found, she's the prime suspect.

"Her sister, Jane, keeps claiming that Alice didn't do it," Macey commented.

"What do you think?" I replied.

"I'm honestly not sure... There are a lot of things about this that make no sense."

"Are you thinking we should ask Officer White about this?"

"Well, if we're right and he's somehow involved in something, that might just make him suspicious..."

"So, then what do you suggest?"

"I..."

She sighed and rubbed her eyes in frustration.

"I don't know," she answered.

I could then hear my phone ringing. I looked at the screen. Unknown number.

"Answer it," Macey ordered. She didn't have to tell me twice.

"Hello?" I asked into the phone.

"Mike!!"

I gasped in surprise.

"Jamie!" I replied. "Are you okay??"

I then heard a shuffling noise, as if something was being moved.

"Jamie? Jamie!!"

"In one hour, you and your sister are to be at the abandoned factory outside of town."

It was that distorted voice again.

"Who are you??" I asked it. "Why are you doing all of this??"

"All will be answered at the factory, Mr. Schmidt."

They hung up. I pulled the phone away from my ear and sighed.

"Well?" Macey asked.

"Do you know of an abandoned factory outside of town?"

"Not really..."

"I do. Why?"

We turned and saw Carmen in the doorway with a suspicious look.

"That's where we're supposed to go in an hour."

"Why?"

"I..."

We hadn't fully explained this Jamie situation to Carmen, mainly because there's really no easy way to. Even Macey had a difficult time understanding it at first. Speaking of Macey, she stepped in to get me out of this awkwardness.

"A friend of Mike's is in town and wants to meet us."

"...at an abandoned toy factory outside of town?"

"She's, uh... Interesting like that."

I could tell by the look on Carmen's face that she didn't believe Macey for a second. She then turned to me.

"Are you doing something illegal?"

"What?! No!" I defended, to which Carmen scoffed.

"Loser."
