The Truth

Chapter Thirteen

I didn't want to think that whoever was in the window that night just showed up at my house, especially when it wasn't wearing a suit. 'Did he have the same body shape?' Yajaira asked. 'I don't think so, I'm pretty sure it wasn't.' I said as I continued to look out the window. 'Check the door for a note Clara. I have an urge.' Haley said as I nodded and opened the door. There was a note taped to the door. 'The thing that was in the window is called the marionette also known as the puppet, it was going to try and help the other five children and saved your lives. You two were lucky to get out that night' It said in nice handwriting. 'Well that helps. We need to know where the puppet is though.' Yajaira said. 'Hold on, it says something else.' I said 'The marionette is at the pizzeria. The same room you hid in as young children.' I read looking at Haley. 'Let's go!' She said as everyone stood up. 'Shadow, Lily, come on girls.' I said calling for the dogs to go with us. Once we got to the pizzeria, me and Haley took off for the closet we hid in. The door was difficult to open since it hadn't been used in years but we were able to finally open the door. The puppet was sitting on the floor, lifeless. 'This is the thing we saw! The note was true!' I said as Haley looked around the closet for clues on the murder. Haley saw something inscribed into the wall. 'Purple' it read, that was the only thing there in eyesight. 'Purple?' Shanieya asked. 'Remember the report said we thought the killer was wearing purple!' I said and Haley nodded and agreed with me. 'Haley look there' I said pointing at a small carved item in the wall. 'W.A.' was all it said. 'Initials of the murderer maybe?' I said looking at Shanieya.
