Chapter 4

      I thought of that guy from earlier. He must have something to do with this. I WILL find him. He did give me his number. How could he be so stupid if he wanted to help rob 5 apartment buildings. Weirdly though, the footprints on the ground are only one person, a size 12 male, and no detectives have been here yet if they haven’t at least put those little signs where you go from one place to another.

    What if it’s only one dude? Some superhuman if he is. But who would do this to five apartments in one night? Well whoever it was, I have to be more aware of my surroundings. You never know, I don’t want to get pinned again. I’ll work on my athletic skills from now on.

...

    I woke up to talking downstairs, and the smell of coffee. I got dressed and walked downstairs to see customers sitting and I got to work. I saw Nancy relaxing in her office. She was a little snobbish sometimes, but she has a good heart, deep down.

    Otherwise she wouldn’t have let me stay at her house until the robberies were for sure over. I’m not sure I even want to live there anymore. I always wanted to buy my own house. I only worked at the coffee shop part time as a promise to my only friend to get this shop for her back for her family before her death.

    I haven't told Nancy yet. SO I could totally afford my own home, but it’d be suspicious if I wanted to solve this crime, I had to make it realistic. Living there would make things less suspicious. I needed to find a way to solve this case, and if I didn’t I would never forgive myself.  Nancy must have noticed because she.

    | came out of her office and made me my favorite coffee. “ So\, how well are you taking all of this in\,'' she said I looked up at her and faked a smile\, after all it is what I do best. “ Great\, if I knew what that meant anymore.” Her smile came to a frown\, she looked at me then turned away to go back to her office. I finished the coffee and started to work\, so I don’t have to use her money for things I need. After a while of work I got $ 3.50 as tips. Done with work\, I took a shower and put on some of Nancy’s clothes and went out to get some food.

    I was walking on the sidewalk when I saw him again the one I spilled coffee on was there. He looked at me and glared with his piercing ice blue eyes, but then he smiled and me and walked over. He was then standing right in-front of me, looking down. I never realized how tall he was until this moment. I say he was about 6 foot tall and I was only 5’7” so my head was up to his shoulders. “ Hey, it's been awhile since I had coffee. So how have you been?” he said “ Yeah it has been awhile, and I'm fine.” I replied back. He looked fine then he said, “ oh, sorry, where are my manners I am Kevin Keller” I looked at him and took a step back then answered “ I’m Roxanne Blossom, so about last night, why 37th Street.” I asked cautiously eyeing him up and down. His smile frowned like Nancy's, same way too. “ Just be there or else I will tell the police what you did last night.”

    He looked at me one last time then left, he was there when I was figuring out who did that to my apartment. I looked back at him and ran to him, bumping into him. He looked back at me and smirked. I looked up at him and smacked him. “ Don’t you dare do that to me, and how do you know what I did last night since you were there! But I didn’t see you so you were spying on me!” I yelled. He grabbed my hand and pulled me forward towards him, and kissed me. I was shocked then I melted into the kiss and kissed back. After 30 seconds we broke apart for air, I stared at him dumbfounded and he once again walked off. I walked to the store and got food and clothes for me.
