Let’s just get right to the story.

Who Killed Sandy?

Chapter 4 – The Rudyard Mansion

It’s 5 o’clock, and Lorraine is eagerly waiting. Then, the doorbell rings. Lorraine opens the door and sees John in front of her. “Sorry if I’m a bit late.”

“No problem. Shall we go?”

“Yes, come with me, let’s go in my car.”

“Ok.”

They drive to the Rudyard Mansion. At the entrance, a scanner detects them and a voice comes from it. “What is your purpose here?”

*In Lorraine’s head* “Oh… I guess after Sandy’s death, her family became very depressed. Usually, as soon as they saw me, they would welcome me with open arms.”

“Hello, it’s Lorraine here, and Detective Matthews has come with me to investigate about Sandy’s case.”

“Ok, come in.”

Lorraine and John go in the mansion. There, Sally welcomes them. “Hello Lorraine and Detective. Please take a seat. My father will come shortly.”

“Hello Sally. How are you doing?”

“I guess I’m doing well.”

Then, Mr. Rudyard comes into the room. “Hello Lorraine. Hello to you too Detective Matthews. How are you doing, Lorraine?”

“I’m doing well. How are you?”

“I’m fine too. But, this has been a huge blow for Cassandra. The poor woman has been in her room the whole time.”

“Oh, that’s too bad.”

“Can you please call her out? It’s something important related to Sandy’s case.” says John.

“That will be hard. But if it’s related to Sandy, surely.”

After some whispered voices, Mrs. Rudyard comes.

*In Lorraine’s head* “Oh… Even though she’s smiling, I can clearly see that Mrs. Rudyard is very down. Mr. Rudyard is right. This has been a really huge blow for her.”

“Hello Mrs. Rudyard. This is Detective Matthews. He would like to question you all.”

“Oh, are we suspects?” says Mr. Rudyard.

“Yes.” says John.

“Why….. Why would I ever kill my own daughter…. My Sandy…” says Mrs. Rudyard.

“I’m sorry, but I will have to question you all.” says John.

“I WOULD NEVER KILL MY BABY!!!! WHO ARE YOU TO THINK THAT?!?!?!” shouts Mrs. Rudyard and charges towards John. Mr. Rudyard and Sally hold her back. “I’m terribly sorry. She’s just not in a good state.” says Mr. Rudyard.

“Yes, that’s true.” says Sally.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll still have to question you all.”

“I understand.” says Mr. Rudyard. He whispers to Mrs. Rudyard and she calms down.

“Ok, so, where were you all when Sandy was killed?”

“I was sleeping in my room.” says Sally.

“I had a party with my friends in the Rudyard hall, so I was there.” says Mr. Rudyard.

“I was sleeping in my room.” says Mrs. Rudyard.

“Hmm ok. Can I please check out your mansion?” says John.

“Yes sure.” says Mr. Rudyard.

“You come too, Lorraine.” says John.

“Ok.”

They search the whole mansion for an hour. “Ok, I haven’t found anything. I guess the family is off the suspects list.” says John.

*In Lorraine’s head* “Oh that’s good!”

“Ok!” says Lorraine.

Everyone bids their goodbyes and Lorraine and John leave the mansion. In the car, they start talking. “So, Lorraine, my department found many pictures of dull green vans with R.S. in red written on them.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes.”

“Oh ok.”

“So, I’ll bring by the pictures at say, 3 on Friday?”

“Ok. But I’m not sure if I’ll be able to figure it out. It was a bit blurry.”

“That’s fine, let’s just try.”

“Ok.”

“Here you go. We’ve arrived to your house.”

“Oh ok thanks.”

“Bye Lorraine.”

“Bye John.”

And so, John drives away and Lorraine goes in her room.

Dear Diary,

Thankfully, her family were not the criminals. I’m so glad for that. I’m waiting for John to bring the pictures. I really want to catch the person who killed Sandy. I can’t wait. I’ll also keep on writing in you till my last breath. I’ll die with you and hopefully, you’ll come with me, in heaven and I’ll show you to Sandy.

Ok, that’s it for now. Next chapter, I may or may not keep pictures of the vans. So be ready for pictures and be ready for no pictures XD.
