Chapter 27

Gilbert drove in the direction of the carvers house.

I was in the middle, right next to me was Arnie who had decided to come along.

We were driving to carvers house to see the crime scene to prove that what Ellen said wasn't just her exaggerating.

Gilbert slowed the car down a good distance from the house so that we could see the scene without being seen ourselves.

Their house had police tape around it with a bunch of people inspecting the pool and investigating.

We saw tucker walking in our direction, obviously here to check out the crime scene as well.

"Hi" he said once he reached the side of the car.

"Hey" me and Gilbert both greeted.

"What's going on?" I asked him looking at the crime scene trying to figure out what happened.

It didn't look like there was any type of signs of distress, the place looked almost calm. No blood, weapons, nothing.

The house looks the way it usually does, it just has an eerie feeling to it.

"He drowned" tucker responded.

My eyes widened as I looked at the kiddie pool the detectives were investigating.

"Your kidding" Gilbert said in shock.

"It's a kiddie pool" I say to tucker also in shock.

"I know right, I don't get it" tucker responded, agreeing with us that it was weird that a grown man would drown in a kiddie pool.

"Wow" Gilbert said.

"But It's like one foot deep, how could that have happened?" I asked tucker.

"It's weird, right?" Tucker said to me.

I nodded and let out a deep breath.

Then I heard laughing coming from my right.

"He-he drowneded" Arnie said laughing.

"Arnie" Gilbert said.

Arnie then started laughing and jumping around screaming.

I grabbed his shoulders "Arnie, Arnie, shhh calm down" I said to him soothingly.

Arnie let out a silent shriek as he grabbed his hair.

Once he was calm I looked over at Gilbert with a dismayed expression.  Of course mr carver made me uncomfortable every time I saw him, but the fact that he died so suddenly had shocked me.

Especially since the way he died seemed very  suspicious, drowning in a kiddie pool, seems kinda strange to me. I felt bad for the guy, he just died all of a sudden, I literally saw him yesterday and now soon he's gonna be buried six feet underground.

It's unnerving how things happen.

He put his hand on my thigh and kissed my cheek in a comforting way.

"Want me to drive you home?" He asked.

I nodded and we both said goodbye Tucker.

I sighed and leaned my head on his shoulder as he drove.

"He had the cardiac arrest" Bobby said to us as we all ate breakfast together.

Gilbert had his arm around the back of my chair as we both listened to the conversation.

"His head bent forward,his knees buckled...and then he just fell...face forward into the pool" Bobby said, bending the metal spoon to give us a physical representation.
