BRANDON
I was the person who convinced all to help Gabi, but now I was kind of regretting it, I had first thought of it like giving back to Bryce, but this didn't help at all, he was dead, so was his girlfriend, they probably were dancing together in heaven leaving me all alone(but I would be a third wheel). I wanted to help but this brought back many memories, but quitting now meant being a big coward.
We all met after class, I couldn't believe all of us were actually on board.
"Ok so last one minute and I will get all the names of people who used their card at that time." Sophia said.
"We could have all come a minute later, then a minute would have not been wasted." said Ryder.
"That would have taken a lot of planning!" said Vanessa.
"Done done!" said Sophia almost shrieking.
"Ok than tell us."
She flipped her phone. It showed:
10:26 PM- Nicoletta Valencia- LEAVING
10:27 PM- Sierra McAlister- LEAVING
10:37 PM- Vanessa Brooks- ENTERING
10:38 PM- Reagan Byrd- ENTERING

11:11 PM- Lily Sailor- ENTERING
11:27 PM- Charlotte Davis- ENTERING
11:52 PM- Nicoletta Valencia- ENTERING
11:58 PM- Nicoletta Valencia- LEAVING
WARNING! -DOOR LEFT OPEN
"WAIT! This doesn't make sense; Nicoletta was sitting here in the café the whole time; how can it show that she made an eight-minute trip?" I said.
"Brandon, are you sure? It's not like you were keeping an eye on her the whole time!" Reagan said.
"No, I am sure as we had a small fight and there were only four customers, out which Nicoletta and her sidekick Sierra were two." I said.
"Guys! Do you realize that she had gone at exactly the time of the murder? I mean whoever had done this must have used her card, how can she be at two places together, there is no other explanation, or she has someone who looks just like her!" said Kio.
"Let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe she had gone, and Brandon didn't see her, but Sierra didn't go with her, which is not at all possible." Vanessa said.
Someone coughed, oh no! Sierra and Nicoletta were standing behind Vanessa. Feels like a movie, wrong people show up at the wrong time.
"Vanessa! Why were you taking Sierra's name?" Nicoletta asked spitefully.
"Oh, felt left out? I took yours too, was just telling them how much I loathe you." Vanessa told glaring at her. Never seen her like this.
"I think my sweet cousin Kio and Brandon will disagree!"
"No, we don't!" I said.
"See!" Vanessa said.
"Brandon will obviously lie in front of you!" Nicoletta said. She can't keep her mouth shut, can she?
"You are not welcomed here darling!" said Vanessa waving the hands.
"I don't want to be!" said Nicoletta.
She left before she spilled any more tea.
"What is it with you and her?" Sophia said to Vanessa.
"As if you don't know!" Vanessa answered.
"Well whatever that was, it saved us!" I said.
"How will we know if Nicoletta was here at the café or not at that time!" Reagan asked.
"We could ask her indirectly." Ryder suggested.
"No, I don't think so that will be possible." Vanessa said.
"We could ask Sierra; she is pretty dumb!" Kio said.
"How do you know that?" Sophia asked.
"I had met her at Nicoletta's father's party." Kio replied.
"But who would talk to her?" Ryder asked.
Everyone looked at Kio.
"Like I said she is very dumb, I am not doing it. And she is never without Nicoletta."
"She is! in our literature class." Vanessa said.
"I hate you Vanessa!" he said.
"That means you are doing it?" Ryder asked.
"I guess I don't have an option." Kio said and we sank into our chairs laughing.
"Stop laughing guys, I am pissed." he said.
********
I was called again for questioning!
"Mr. Cooper, we checked your timetable, it showed that you were working in the timetable but Ms. Valencia didn't clear for you, she said that she was not sure as she left in between for some time." said Fiona.
"I have no idea why she said that, but I was working at the café!" I said furiously.
"You realize that this puts you in a difficult situation, you have become an important suspect in the investigation."
"With that, we have found your fingerprints on the murder weapon, you would have been under arrest if they wouldn't have three finger prints along with yours."
"What do you mean? My fingerprints? How? Who are the others?" I asked absolutely shocked.
"I am sorry! But I cannot share that information. You are not allowed to leave this city without our permission."
I was mind blown; we for sure had to find the killer. Fast.
