DAY 1

At six am James and Bernice arrived at the location the serial killer had sent them. "There are twenty-five houses over here so which one is his?" Bernice asked. "How am I supposed to know." Jack answered annoyed. After three hours of searching they decide to take one turn which they ignored first for being friendly. As they were walking down the street a paper plane fell in front of them. James stepped forward with caution and picked it up. He opened it and began reading it. "JAMES MY OLD FRIEND OR SHOULD I SAY CAPTOR. I SEE YOU'VE BROUGHT A NEW FRIEND. WELL SINCE THIS IS YOUR FIRST DAY LET ME GIVE YOU A SIMPLE CLUE. THIS IS IT 'AMONG US MAP.' LET'S SEE HOW YOU DO."

"Among us map." Bernice repeated. Jack pulled out his phone and googled 'Among us maps.' When the details he wanted popped up he began reading. "There are five among us maps. We have Skield which is a spaceship. Polus which is an icy wasteland. We also have Mira HQ which is a boat. Airship which is a plane. And Fungle which is a mushroom forest."

James looked at Bernice and said, "Look for a house with any of that stuff." They looked around for two hours but still couldn't find a house with even a fraction of the things stated on it. "What if it's some type of code?" Bernice asked. "Good thinking Bernice." Jack complimented. They made their way back to their car and tried to crack the 'code'.

After about five hours of scrambling and scrambling letters, they finally got something that was somewhat sensible. "KIDS ANGLE. MAPS OF L(T)HE SHIPS!!!" Bernice read out loud. "Kids angle." James repeated. "I think that means short or something." Bernice suggested. "But there are some extra letters." she added. "What are they?" James asked. "S l u r r i i q." she responded. "Okay we'll have that in mind but now we have at least gotten the lead so let's go." James ordered. They got down and went to the place where they got the note. They saw a boy playing with ships in a kiddie pool which was not there before. "We've gotten ships what are the maps?" James asked after observing the boy. They decided to watch the boy a little longer. After about an hour they felt bored and decided to go on with their investigation. Before they turned around the boy's mother came with a towel.

"Lesleyyyy. Pool time's over." she said. James with his detective eyes told Bernice to look at the woman. Bernice not seeing what James was seeing and feeling a little jealous held his collar and dragged him closer to her face. "James Bonnie we are to look for Shadow not to look at MILFS so get your head in the game." "I don't mean the woman mainly. Look at what she's holding." Jack told her as he removed her hand from her collar. In the towel was just like what was on that note was a spaceship, a cruise ship, and an airplane in an icy mountain range on one side, and the side was an atlas. They looked at each other and proceeded to move towards the house.

"Ding, dong... Ding, dong." rang the doorbell. "Comiiing." said a voice from the house. A few minutes later a woman opened. "Good evening ma'am." Jack greeted warmly. "Good evening cops. Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked. "Yes please." Bernice responded. "Has any ginger man stayed at this house for the past week?" Jack asked. "Yes." the lady responded. "Mr Alexander. He came here about three days ago looking for a job as my housekeeper." she continued. "Why, do you want to see him?" she asked. "Yes, please. He's a friend of ours and he was absent from work today so we decided to come check up on him." Jack lied. Hearing this the woman's facial expression changed. "Oh that's too bad." she said. "He left this morning at around nine am." she added. "Thanks, ma'am. We'll tell the office. Bye." Jack said as they turned around and took their leave.

They went back to their car and Jack screamed in anger. "Nine. That's about the same time we got the clue." he said. When they got to the car they saw a note attached to the booth. It read, "Too late James." They picked up the note and drove off. Bernice remembering they hadn't eaten since morning offered to buy Mc dees and Dominos for them both but James realizing what she was trying to do declined. "No. Thank you but I'm not hungry." He was saying this while his stomach rumbling was audible a mile away. Bernice with a saddened face after hearing this response put her head down and cried inwardly.
