chapter 8

 " Little ones, the only answer would be that this murderer is a copycat. Someone who wants to murder like the famous Jack the Ripper." Harry and Molly looked at one another and then to Marybelle their aunt. What could be said about the situation or even the atmosphere in the room was all very grim. What could they do but wait for a good show to unravel in front of them.

"Mama can me and Abby help great Auntie try and solve this case even if its for fun, we won't cause trouble and we won't bother the constables!?" said Ally patiently. At that point even her own parents were shocked beyond belief. Even Maybelle was slightly shocked as to why they wanted to help so bad but all she could do to ease the tension in the room was laugh.

"Little ones don't be in such a rush, I know your ambious but you have to take your parents into consideration. Your both young almost too young for all of this"

" Your Auntie is right, we are afraid for tgw both of you and its true your much too young for all this glore" Harry firmely stated. The two young girls looked at each other briefly then put their heads down in disappointed, like they did something wrong. However this was the perfect thing that had happened to Maybelle's friend Sydney. He thought with the two young girls out of the way there was no way that his secret plan would get discovered. But what Sydney didn't realize was how both the girls and Maybelle reacted to his reaction. No one else could sense what he was thinking not even the trio that are quite sharp to stuff like this. Ally looked at Maybelle and Maybelle looked at Addy and Addy looked at Ally. All three thought something was not right about his reaction. So Addy tested her theory out.

" Uncle Sydney can't you tell us more about the case, you used to be a pyscologist when you were younger weren't you?"

" How did you find out little one? the only one that knew that was your Auntie" he retorted. Sydney suddenly had a sense of fear in his face.

" Oh Syd its cause I told them a few stories about you in our college days, they may be young but they love to learn hahaha" Maybelle explained. Sydney could not refute against this comment. He just stared at the five of them, he then turned to leave the apartment. Just before he did he replied, " well then I'll exit stage left, so I can find out some clues for some good news in the papers" no one could argue with this but they were also confused as to why he said it that way.
