Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Stalker?

I went outside and saw no one. I feel like I am being haunted again and again. I meant stalked. I mean last time also, I felt like a girl walked by but turns out it seemed to be no one at all. I can't accept the fact that my brother was here. I don't really want to talk much about him because he is very secretive. You know he's a very mysterious person even. I don't recognize him. I mean why was he doing here? I am pretty sure it's not about me and why did he warn me? Who could have ever been so mean to Tiana's family? That day I was pretty stressed out because there was no clue left for me. But I was forgetting that I have Tiana's phone. I tried to unlock it though I couldn't. I tried the most possible numbers. But in the end, I go with 00000 and it was correct! Why was I thinking too far? On the phone, there wasn't much information but just only that she ended her last call at 9:15 so, it was the time when she got lost. It wasn't helping me at all. That night again I was just peacefully walking outside the garden when I heard someone! Now I am pretty sure that I am being stalked! But now this time it seemed like a man an old man to be exact. Were there two stalkers? A girl and A old man. Maybe it's someone connecting with the case. AGHHHHHH! I don't want to work anymore as a detective it's so hard being one. It's so hard trying to figure out anything. So, the stalker knows about me? How on Earth?? I was doing so well. Unless he or she was stalking me all the time.

That morning I was peacefully eating my breakfast when Max came nearer to me. He asked me for a coffee then Henry came. "Sis let's go out for coffee," he said. "I asked her first," Max said to him. They are literally fighting over me. They were staring at each other when Henry pulled my hand. Then, Max pulled my other hand. But Henry pulled me too harsh that Max removed his hand because he didn't want me to get hurt. Then, Henry pulled me across the pool when I resisted him. "I don't wanna follow you," I said. "So, have a swim," he said as he pushed me to the pool. AGAIN! In the pool. Then, he walked away as if nothing happened. Max came closer to me to help me. I got out of the pool and walk to my dorm room.

I dried myself and I went to sit on a bench. I was peacefully sitting down on the bench when Tiana's phone started ringing. It said it was Tom calling. I didn't want to do anything because I don't want to talk on her phone so I just left it. Then, I noticed Tom's number. It was different from the last person who called. It was a big clue for me and it wasn't surprising that I didn't notice it. Because I am too busy with you know my own life between THEM. The semester was about to end and I have no idea who the killer was. I guess I can't work as a detective anymore. WAIT A MINUTE! I could maybe somehow trace the phone number and figure out who the killer was. Yeah, that's it.

I returned to my dorm, sat in my chair, and brainstorm how on earth I could trace the number. Because I am not a hacker. Mmmmm............................... No idea still. Then, I heard Jazz screaming. I ran into her room to see her clothes burned. OMG. "Tenda! I don't know what happened to my clothes. Looks like someone came into our rooms and burned my clothes." She screamed. It was pretty shocking to find out that someone actually came into our room. And why is he or she burnt jazz's clothes but not mine I thought this was all connected with the case. But maybe it's not, maybe it's like Stella. Then, I just walked back into my room and thought that must find a hacker. None of my friends [that knows I am a detective] is a hacker. I mean I don't have a lot of friends. The truth is that I have no friends at all. My brother can hack but I don't want to go talk to him. He literally pushed me into the pool this morning. And he doesn't want me to be in this case anymore. Then, I realized that Max was a hacker and a really good one. But how am I even going to ask him to do this for me I mean it's kinda illegal. The next morning, I found myself searching for Max. "Hey Tenda you looking for someone," someone said behind me. I shouted and I was about to hit that person with my bag when I realize it was....
