The Truth

Chapter Fourteen

'We have a lead now. W.A. and the fact that he was wearing purple, along with a golden rabbit suit.' Antony said as he saw Shadow and Lily by the door. 'Is that normal for the dogs?' He said pointing to the alerted dogs. Haley went to check and someone was at the door. 'Coraline, why didn't you text one of us?' She said seeing Coraline. 'Because I didn't plan on coming here. I saw the car and wanted to stop by and check out Freddy's, then Shadow and Lily was on guard.' She said as we closed the closet and met them at the doorway. We got the dogs to calm down and Coraline explored the pizzeria to see how it changed over time. While the group was chatting, I was searching the police department website for anyone with the initials that were engraved into the wall of the closet. I found a list of suspects with the initials of W.A. I tried to find someone wearing purple or had a connection with either one of the suits. There were a few suspects that were questioned during the case but none had been arrested due to lack of evidence since me and Haley didn't see the killer and the bodies were never found. This made me wonder about the note that the man left on the door, 'It was going to try and help the other five children and saved your lives.' How was it going to help the other children if it fled when me and Haley saw it. What if it is the reason the bodies were never found? How did it get in the closet and why did it stay there so long? It's been almost ten years. I wondered if it stayed there this long knowing we would try and find the killer, if it was there to help us find our lead we needed. Haley saw my face and could tell I was focused. She came and got me since everyone was leaving and I hadn't realized they were. Once we got home we saw another note taped to the door. 'The puppet is why the bodies were never found. It gave them a new life, the afterlife in your pizzeria. The murderer was not known by anybody at the pizzeria. He was the first person questioned in the case because he was leaving the pizzeria that day.' It read in the same handwriting as the other.
