Chapter 1: "The Challenge Letter"A Chapter by Stella Sky"Hey, are you listening?!" "Uhh..y-yeah. You're talking about that computer game right?"I answered. It's not that I don't like his stories, it's just that i stayed up late last night reading a mystery novel. That's why I'm too sleepy to listen. "Yes! As I was saying blah blah blah blah blah." Upon opening my locker, a small piece of envelope fell. I picked it up and decided to examine it.It was a cream colored envelope with a red seal. At the back of the envelope, there's a neatly written letter "R" in black ink. "To the highschool detective, Ace Brandell, Four Kings of the Four have been called to hell.I retrieved the soul of the first king under the light of the moon last night.Three more kings' and the charades is over. I'll be waiting for you at the end. A scrap of paper reading, "Damn, another lunatic showed up. Have to go and investigate." "Hey! Where do you think you're going idiot?" "Well, uhh.. I have something really urgent to do. It's-" "Do you think I'll still fall for your damn reasons?" Damn. So unfortunate. After reaching our classroom, I sat on my chair and brought my phone out. I can't help it then. I'll just searched the net whether someone fitting the description of a king, died last night. I scrolled through numerous reports about robbery, drug scandals and a couple of missing reports until I saw a headline. (News Article) Last night, the known economic giant, Arthur Lanchaster was found dead in a narrow street near his office. According to the police, he was shot in the forehead by a handgun causing immediate death. Mysteriously, a note was found above the body. The meaning of the mysterious message is still unknown but the police are still investigating for further details." I gasped at the realization of what I've just read.This is it. I can't be wrong! I have to investigate now but first, I have to get out of here. I immediately turned the computer on and looked over the net if I can get some more information.
S**t. I stopped for a while, closed my eyes and think. Moments passed... Of course! Why didn't I think of it earlier? I dialed the phone and waited till the person on the other line picked up. "Hey Ace! What's up? Need something?" The deep voiced person in the other line said. "Hi Carl. See, I need some information in a case I'm currently working on. I'm thinking if you can run a few things for me?" "Of course! So, what am I looking for?" "Have you heard of the death of Arthur Lanchaster?" "Yes. That dude's loaded. His death made the economic world tilt. Big news. Police are still dumb-founded with who's his killer. What about it?" "I need to know what the note found above his body contains. As well as some confidential information about the case, if you know what I mean. So... you think you can do it?" "Piece of cake! Give me an hour and I'll call you with the information you need. Is that all?" "Yes dude. Thank you!" "No problemo mi amigo. Bye then. Got some hacking to do." Friendly Reminder: When you need information so confidential, from the name of the mistress of the president to the color of the underwear of the pizza guy, call Carl Donnie. I put the phone down and faced the computer once more.Since Carl is backing me up with that note, I need to move and visit the crime scene to get some raw info. © 2016 Stella SkyAuthor's Note
