Mystery Unsolved(2)

                                               (2)

After breakfast, I ran upstairs into my room. I slipped into some jean shorts and a tank top with running shoes just in case.

I grabbed a large lag out of the closet and began putting items that I may need into it. Such as: a Pencil, notebook, hat, black sunglasses, tape recorder, squirt gun,(In case a kid gave us any trouble.)gum, and three different wigs.

I slung the bag over my shoulder and ran over into Dylan's room where he was typing furiously on the computer.

"Dylan" I said sitting on his bed.

"What?" He growled spinning his chair around.

"What can you tell me about the Culhane's" I asked pulling out my pencil and paper. "I mean you know, how did Mr.Culhane die?"

"Well" He said folding his arms. "Some say that he shot himself. Others say that his wife drown him in the pool." He said leaning forward trying to be mysterious.

"What do you think?" I asked him whispering.

"I think that-" He said rubbing his chin. "I think that Mrs.Culhane drowned him. Mom says she was pretty crazy. We were five when she moved. So I guess we didn't know her that much." He told me spinning back around in his chair.

I quickly jotted down as much as I could.

             The Culhane's

1.) Either Mr.Culhane was murdered, or it was suicide.

2.) Mrs. Culhane was crazy.

3.) Mrs.Culhane moved out of the house for some reason which is unknown.

"Do you know anything else?" I asked him looking up.

"No more than you probably already do." He said typing furiously again. I shoved my stuff back into my bag and ran out of his room down the stairs.

"Mom" I said walking into the kitchen. "I'll be back in a little bit. I'm going to go get Ashley." I said walking back out of the kitchen toward the door.

"OK" She said, before I shut the door behind me. I put on my sunglasses and began walking down the street (Not by the scary house)and studied my surroundings. Kids were playing in their yards and others were selling lemonade.

I arrived at Ashley's house were she let me in and we went into her room.

"So, what are we doing today?" She asked laying on her bed.

"We are investigating the Culhane's." I told her sitting on the bed.

"What do I need to take with us?" She asked grabbing a large purse out of her closet.

"Well, you'll need sunglasses. One, because it's sunny outside, and two, because it helps look the part." I told her.

She grabbed a small pair of sunglasses and put them on her hair. "Check" She said.

"Also how about a camera in case we need to take a picture of something. You're Polaroid camera will work" I told her pointing to it.

"Check" She said shoving the camera into her bag. "We'll need some money. In case we need to catch a bus to get to someone with information." She told me shoving twenty bucks into her bag.

"What else?" She asked me.

"Um, well we need gloves. That way we won't leave finger prints." I said while thinking of what else.

"Check" She said putting two pairs of white gloves into her bag.

"I have three wigs and a hat. So you at least need a hat." I said.

"Check" She said putting a sun hat into her bag. "That should be all" She said closing her bad and slinging it over her shoulder.

"Who is our first witness?" She asked walking out of her room while I followed her down the stairs.

"Well not exactly a witness but, she knew them. First stop, my mom" I said walking outside while she shut the door behind us.

"Why couldn't you have done that by yourself. Since you LIVE with her." She laughed putting on her sunglasses.

"Because she might have a lot of information and I wanted a partner to help me with this" I smiled at her.

"Alright then. Let's go" She laughed starting to walk down the side walk.

When we got to my house Ashley stopped in my front lawn staring at the Culhane's house. It had a huge FOR SALE sign in the front lawn. Problem was, no one wanted to live there because they thought it was haunted.

"That place gives me the creeps" She shivered. "I could never be brave enough to live here." She said staring to walk up my driveway.

"It's not that bad." I said opening my front door and shutting it as she walked past me.

"Mom" I yelled.

"In here" She said from the kitchen.

When we got in there, my mother was sitting at the bar counter and clipping coupons. Ashley and I both took a seat at the bar.

"Mom" I said pulling out my pencil and paper. "What can you tell us about the Culhane's?" I asked her seriously using my investigating voice.

She put her scissors down and looked at both of us.

"Why?" She scowled at both of us.
