Smash! Bam! Shatter! The moonlight glistened on the ice crystal that held the playground together. Or at least, what used to be the ice crystal. The ice crystal was now shattered, pieces of it scattered amongst the grassy field. The playground slowly melted. First the slide and slide waiting area, then the swings and monkey bars, and at last the foundation and merri-go-rounds. It was entirely destroyed...

"Kathy! Ammie! Come look!" Ronald shouted, seeing the destruction before his eyes.
"Oh my gosh!" Kathlynn gasped, looking at the sight.
"Who would do this?" Ammie muttered in anger. The only thing that was left was the hidden panic room for a time of emergency.
"Help! Help us!" A voice from inside the panic room cried. "We're trapped!" Another voice cried.
Lonni and Antonnia ran to the panic room door, trying to pry it open. The door was locked, however, and the only way out was through the keypad inside.
"Okay, you two are going to have to type into the keypad," Antonnia said, peeking through the small window. "The numbers are three nine five." She explained.
The two inside pressed the numbers three nine five into the keypad and opened the door when it unlocked.
"Thank you princess," the one girl inside said.
"What are your names?" Antonnia asked the girl.
"I am Julina, and that is Harmoney. We are the daughters of Duchess Christine Costella and Duke Frederick Costella." The older-looking girl said. "We came here last night because my sister lost her stuffed animal and we thought she lost it here, but, when we came in, someone shattered the crystal and we ran into the panic room!" Julina explained.
Kathlynn was sceptical of Julinas story, but had to believe it, since her sister and friends did.
"B-but...we, uh, saw who did it!" Harmoney exclaimed softly. She seemed like the kind of shy little girl you'd meet at church or school. "They had an a-camp-lice!" She continued.
"My sister means accomplice," Julina corrected. "And we heard the accomplice say, "Good job Vizzie!" And the mean thief said, "Ditto, Zyd!" And then they ran off.
Ammie grabbed her phone and took notes.
Clue 1: Two girls were trapped here all night (suspicious)
Clue 2: The crystal was indeed shattered by two suspicious people named Vizzie and Zyd
Clue 3: Vizzie and Zyd might me Harmoney and JulinaAmmie quickly erased the last part. Why should she jump to conclusions? They only had two facts to go on. And an eyewitness report from two sisters. "What gender was Vizzie? And how about Zyd?" She interrogated further.
"Well Zyd didn't talk, but they had shoulder length hair like yourself," explained Julina. "And Vizzie was female. She had medium brown hair like yours." She explained further while gesturing towards Kathlynn. "For all we know it was you that smashed the crystal and are blaming us!"
Now Ammie had two more intriguing clues. Make that three.
