"GOOD MORNING STUDENTS!" Headmaster Blake's voice boomed over the gymnasium full of students. "I am very thankful that we are glad to gather here given the recent tragedy that happened over the summer break. As many of you have already known, two of our brightest students, Edin Stuart and Campbell Browning, went missing unexpectedly just before the start of the school year." Headmaster Blake paused, looking at the crowd of students in front of him piled up in the bleachers.
Lillian listened in as Headmaster Blake discussed the summer incident. Looking around, Lillian noticed several students whispering about the missing kids and that only ignited the fire that sparked Lillian's curiosity. Lillian looked past Marigold's shoulder, whom she was sitting next to, and saw Harvey sitting by Charlie, somewhat in his own world.
"And now," Lillian heard Headmaster Blake speak, "I would like to introduce Sheriff Ian Greyson and Detective Lara Nuñez. They will be going around asking each student some questions regarding the investigation, soif anyone knows anything regarding the investigation, please let either myself or Sheriff Greyson or Detective Nuñez know immediately. Have a great first day and great year." The students applauded and then made their way back to their classes before the bell for third period rang.

Lillian got up from her spot on the Bleachers and made her way out the double doors with Marigold following behind. "So." Marigold spoke, making Lillian turn her head. "There's this party next Friday night, will you go with me?" Marigold asked.
"Why?" Lillian asked.
"I don't want to go by myself, plus Charlie said he was going to go with us so we won't technically be alone." Marigold explained, smiling mischievously.
"I'll think about it. It isn't a no but it's not a yes either." Lillian said. Marigold squealed in excitement and took hold of Lillian's right arm as they walked to third period. Lillian sighed, she knew whether she wanted to or not that she was going to this party.

BOTH SHERIFF GREYSON AND DETECTIVE NUÑEZ interviewed each student separately and together in one of the empty classrooms. First it was Lillian, who stated that she never really knew Edin and Campbell that well, and that she was in California when the kidnapping happened.
Then, it was Marigold's turn, who explained that she only knew Edin from the cheerleading and debate team and that she last saw her with Campbell in the hallway arguing, to which both Detective Nuñez and Sheriff Greyson found interesting and suspicious.
Next they interviewed Grace, who seemed a little unedge, often looking around the room or playing with her fingernails- a bad habit that she was trying to get rid of- or placing a strand of her brown hair behind her ear. Then they interviewed Harvey, who explained that he had fixed Campbell's car once and that the last he saw them both was at the diner, the night they disappeared. When they got to Charlie, he explained that he had tutored Edin on Chemistry, but what he didn't mention was that Campbell was his stepbrother.
