The next morning, I drove out to see Ms. Spinx, to see she would try and help me get into the prison that Ryan was being held in so I can get some answers about Alice. And like the biker said, she lived in a green farmhouse with a sign that points you to it. Once I pulled up to the house, I see curtains gently breeze back into place. I took it as a sign that Ms. Spinx knew that I was here and either waiting for me to get out of the car so she could shoot me with her shotgun or slam the door in my face without hearing me out.
Hopefully she just slams the door in my face and not shoot me. I sighed and got out of the car and walked up to the front door.
I knocked on the door and a few moments later, Ms. Spinx opens up the front door. She wore a green shirt with blue pants along with brown flats and her now white hair was tied up in a ponytail.
"Can I help you with something?" She asks in a slow and wispy voice.
"Yeah sorry to bother you but I am here to talk to you about Ryan. I heard that you're his great aunt and I am here on the behalf of one of my client who knew him since I am a therapist back home in New York. So, is it okay if I come inside and sit for a while?" I ask.
"Yes, please do." She said while stepping aside for me to pass into the house.
I stepped into the house before she closed the front door behind her. The house was old but it was neatly organized and had lots of things that you would normally find in a farmhouse like this one.
She leads me into the living room and tells me to wait while she got us something to drink and something to snack on. I sit down on the sofa that was up against the wall facing the tv and waited for her to come back. Once she comes back with some tea and cookies, she offers me a cookie but I politely declined.
She sits down next to me on the sofa before saying "So, What do you want to know about Ryan?"
"Well, I wanted to ask about Ryan and exactly happened at Vina Academy and with Alice Smith. Can you tell me anything about it or anything else that may have happened with Ryan?"
She sighed before dropping a bombshell on me.
"Very well. Ryan...Ryan killed someone on the night that him and his friends went down to the lake to go swim."
