Part 1: Plot points
Eline and Vale go to a popular taco shop near the town square. It was quite crowded, with many people coming to try the famous tacos. Before they get their food, Eline and Vale hear a scream alongside everyone else. The scream belonged to a middle aged man, who had gone silent and still.
Eline and Vale run over to the man, checking his heartbeat. He’s gone. Everyone’s confused. Police cars and ambulances rush over to help him, but it’s too late. The police say they’ll figure out who did it. Eline and Vale ask if they could help, but they get rejected. They decide to take matters into their own hands.
3. They go back to their homes, and send Emails to each other. They decide to meet up after-school before their parents come to discuss a plan. They meet up at the school yard in an empty corner, as they don’t want to be heard.. They agree to try to get as much information out of news sources as possible and meet back up there in a few days.
4. When they meet up again, the only information they’ve gained is the victim’s identity. They can't gain information from just the news. Vale proposes an idea to gain more information themselves. Eline becomes skeptical and begins asking questions. Vale tells Eline his plan, and after much convincing, she reluctantly agreed.
5. They go to the scene of the crime, which is blocked off. They still see from as close as possible though. The policemen are distracted. They won't notice some kids roaming around. Vale sneaks in beyond the fence. The victim’s table was near the fence, so Vale could easily take a small piece of the victim's meal. He put it in his pocket so no one would notice. They walked away and, when they were out of sight, ran away back to their homes.
Part 2: The clues and whatever red herrings are
There was a blue pen on the table. It is small, and lets out black ink. It seems to have strange markings on the side, like jumbled up numbers being put in random order. The pen seems to be a ballpoint pen, with nothing that shows otherwise. It doesn’t seem to have any fingerprints on it, and the victim isn’t known to have a pen with him at the time of the incident.
There’s a number of jumbled up sticky notes, with seemingly nothing written on them. They don’t have a fingerprint either. They are slightly wrinkled, but they look good as new. They are in the colors of red and green. Maybe the colors could tell them something, and maybe there really is something written on it.
A piece of the victim’s meal that had been obtained in… an unconventional way. It seems to look like normal food, but maybe there's something inside? We don't know for sure, but it’s the only way the victim could’ve been the…well, victim. Best thing we can do is do a bunch of tests on the thing.
A code. It seems to be a bunch of codes together. There's morse code, binary code, and a slew of others that couldn’t be named. Maybe the good ol’ computer can figure out what it means. Or maybe not. Who knows until we try? I mean- probably no one. Except the culprit.
Part 3: THE EPIC INTERVIEW!!
Blau: Interviewer (it's gonna be different characters in story)
Ember (me): Witness (Name different in the actual story)
“Have a seat. What's your name?” Blau said in the interviewing room. “My name’s…uhm…Ember” Ember said, shifting in her seat uncomfortably. “Ember, alright” she jotted down the name quickly on her notebook before looking back up at her. “Do you wanna…explain what happened? How did you get to the scene?”. She asked. “Uhm…okay. I was just walking down on the sidewalk, minding my own business, when I heard a scream. I turned around and ran to where the scream was coming from. By the time I got there, the police were there and the person who was screaming was…” Ember paused. “S-sorry…I’m kind of uncomfortable talking about de- y'know, i won't say it. Is that fine?” She asks shyly. Blau nodded empathetically. “Yeah,yeah; of course.” She gave a comforting smile. “This really isn’t a good situation for anyone at all- I’m sorry you had to see that.” She paused. “But did you notice anything else? Like the surroundings…” she asked. “I-i was running quickly… I know that there were buildings around. The short, concrete kind. And it had some sort of… beige-brown walls? Maybe wood walls? I’m honestly not sure.. I wasn’t really focusing on the surroundings…” Ember squeaked quietly. “You were running?” Blau questioned, raising a brow. “Where were you running from and to?” “I had mentioned before that I was running towards the scream, because I was both curious and scared of what was happening. I was on the sidewalk.” Ember said, clarifying what she had said before. “Right, right… you were running towards the scream, okay” Blau wrote it down as well. “What time was it? And,uh, did you notice anything beforehand?” “It was…hmm…maybe around noon? And I think I heard another sound beforehand. I’m not sure what it was though…but it was loud.” Ember said. “A loud sound?” Blau repeated, frowning slightly. She looked over my scribbled notes so far, looking through carefully. She wrote down ‘loud sound written by Ember (witness)’ at the bottom of my notes, glancing over it all. A loud sound, and then a scream? Oh. Probably a gunshot. No- a pre-gunshot? “Okay, I think that checks out. If you don't mind me asking, did you see…the injuries the victim had..?” she asked gently. She leaned forward slightly to hear better, in case your volume decreased due to shyness and being uncomfortable. Her right hand gripped the pen slightly. She needed a lead on this case- bad. “Uhm…I wasn’t really focusing, but he had a lot of scratches on the arms…” Ember said louder. Blau nodded, writing that down as well. “Anything else? Anything out of the ordinary?”. “No, there was nothing else” Ember said in a concluding tone. “Alright” Blau said, standing up and gathering her things. “You’re free to go, Ember, thank you.”
Part 4: A full scene.
Eline and Vale were sitting at a taco shop. It had gained popularity over recent years and they were curious as to how it is. “Man, the food is taking FOREVER.” Vale groaned as he fixed his pale blond hair. “Calm down, Vale. The food is probably going to take like ten minutes, okay? So stop whining like a baby.” Eline said. “Okay but you gotta at least agree with me that there's SO many people here!” Vale said, trying to convince her. “Okay fine, there's a lot of people and a lot of noise. But that doesn’t give you permission to go whining like a bab-'' Eline was interrupted by a scream. People turned towards where the scream was coming from. A middle aged man had been screaming, and apparently unconscious…? Eline ran towards him, trying to check his pulse. By the time the police and the ambulance came, “The pulse stopped.” Eline said saddeningly. “He’s gone.” People gasp and try to leave as quickly as possible, as if something is going to happen to them if they even go near him. “We’ll figure out who did this.” The police said confidently. “Hey, can we atleast try to help?” Vale asks. “Nah, you’re just a bunch of kids. You can’t do nothing. Just stay home and do…whatever kids do these days” The police replied sternly. “Aww man” Vale said. “Hey, let's just go home. We can send e-mails to each other to talk.” Eline said, trying to cheer him up. “Sure.” Vale said, finally giving in to Eline. They run back home and begin texting each other using email. Eline frantically organizes her room for her parents not to see. Ah, the troubles of a kid, Eline thought. Maybe one day someone will make a book talking about it and actually make parents understand. They continue texting for another 10 or so minutes, and in the end, they agree to meet up at the school yard tomorrow, and so they do. Eline goes out into the school yard, and she looks for Vane. Then she spots him, telling her to come to an empty corner of the yard. “So..what do we do?” Eline asks. “Well, first off, we better start using news sources.” Vale says. “But news sources barely EVER give any information. Probably just the guy’s identity.” Eline says in a quiet voice, making sure no one hears her. “Yeah, but it’s our best shot.” Vale says. Then their parents come to pick them up. The next day, they come back to the same spot and discuss their findings. Which is basically nothing. “Nothing except the guys identity!” Vale says triumphantly. “Ha! I was right! The only thing we found was the guy’s identity! Nothing else!” Eline says, deflating Vale’s sense of victory. “What are we gonna do then?” Eline asks. “Well…we can get information ourselves..” Vale says with a hint of doubt. “Elaborate.” Eline says skeptically. After Vale’s confused looks as he seemingly doesn’t know that word, Eline says “What are we gonna do exactly?” “Well… we’re gonna go back to the taco shop and…take some evidence.” Vale says, lowering his voice to a whisper at the last part. “What!? We aren’t going to do that! And how would we be able to do that anyways?” Eline says angrily. “Well..” Vale goes on to explain the plan to Eline and convince her to do it, which took really long. And so, the plan was in action. They told their parents that they’re gonna do a science project at each other’s houses. And then they meet up at the taco shop. Eline walks around randomly, and notices that there are still police guys there. She walks up to them and goes, “Hey police officer guy girl, how are you on this very fine day?” Eline gets them into a long conversation. Meanwhile, Vale goes to the table, takes a small piece of the victim’s meal, and walks away. Shortly after that, Eline says her goodbyes and walks away as well. Both of them go back home. The next day when they meet back up at school, they discuss what to do next. “It worked! I can’t believe it worked- Ahem, I mean, I knew it would work!” Vale says, savoring their small victory. After an awkward silence, Vale confessed about something. “Uhm..i also got a few other..things from the table.” he said, bringing out a few little things. Or- just one. A pen. A weird looking pen. Eline gasped. “Isn’t that illegal!?! We could be arrested! We might as well be criminals!” Vale looked uncomfortable, then said, “But at least we have two leads… or one, if our guess about the food was wrong.” Eline thought for a bit, “We can’t take it back there, because we would be in prison. So I guess this is our only option, although I'm going to regret it.” She said, And so, we began.
