Author's Note: The message from last time was "Help Me sis from Emily"
Poor Emily!! She must be scared to death! All that the three of us could register at the time was the note. Then something clicked. The not was under Emily's bed, so Emily had to have stopped here!
As I explained my idea to Jemma and Ashley, I realized we had no other clue to go on. And we were six minutes in. Time was rapidly running out. Wait, running . . . Emily had known! She had planted the note beforehand.
"Ashley, I think Emily did have a secret she was hiding from you. Was she on the phone late last night?" I asked. "No we had a power failure. She couldn't have used the phone" Ashley replied. I could see the cogs in her brain working over time. "Unless, she used my cell phone" Ashley said slowly. "I left it on that night. I got my sister kidnapped!" Ashley screamed. "No it wasn't your fault. The kidnapper called here. He wasn't going for Emily, he was going . . ." Ashley cut me off. "For me . . ." she finished my sentence.
It all made sense. It had been dark in that room we were partying in. No, it hadn't been!! There had been the candles on the surprise cake for Emily. Which meant the Emily was in great danger, and now Ashley was too.
For no apparent reason, I went to her closet. I always thought best when I was touching some sort of clothes. I picked up the first shirt I found. On it, written in what looked like blood, was the next clue. It said, "Brilliant deduction sherlock. Well let's see if you can figure this out. Look in the author's city records. Do not pass go"
My records!!! Do not pass go?? What was going on here??
