“I was able to plant a listening device into one of the necklaces that Celeste sold to Mrs. Windsor!” she said.
My mouth dropped open. “No way!”
“Yes! You see, | thought ahead and knew that | probably wouldn't be able to get any usable evidence from Mrs.
Windsor, so | made sure that Celeste said that she had to bring the necklace back for her to ‘recharge it.” That
way, we can listen to Mrs. Windsor and her daughter's conversations!”
“You're a genius!” | said and gave her a big hug.
“I know, right,” Ava joked and huggedback.
But when we pulled back, | remembered something that | had overheard.
“How did you find out that Chole had a private record?”
Ava'’s face went slightly pink, and | knew that this story would be good.

“Are your connections...legal?” | asked, my tone teasing.
| sat down on her comfortable pink couch, and Ava took a seat beside

“Don’t askquestions you know | can’t answer,” she said and grinned.
We laughed, and then Ava becserious. “While | was looking into Chole’s criminal history, | discovered that
she had two past
exonerations from jail.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Two?” | asked, and my eyes widened.
Ava nodded. “Isn't that crazy? | couldn't believe it when | found’it out.”
“The things having a rich and well-connected family will get you out of,” | said with exasperation.
“You're telling me. Anyway, | was talking to my psychologist friend, Angie, and | explained Chole’s past and her
unpredictable behavior.”
| leaned forward, intrigued. “What did Angie say?”
“Angie said that Chole might have borderline personality disorder since these criminal tendencies couldn't have
developed overnight,”
Ava said.
“Woah,” | said. “That sounds serious.”
“It is if it’s left untreated,” Ava told me. “And | bet your Mrs. Windsor just swept her daughter's mental health
issues under the rug because she didn’t want to risk it getting out that her daughter needed to be treated for her
mental health.”
| rolled my eyes.
“So, while | was looking into Chole, | discovered something crazy about her past,” Ava continued. “Chole was
questioned by the police about five years ago in connection to the disappearance of one of her male
classmates.”

“That was what Mrs. Windsor was vaguely referring to during the fake ritual with Celeste. She said that it was all
a big misunderstanding,” | said.
Ava leaned closer and gavea loaded look. “That's the thing...I don’t think it was a misunderstanding. | looked
more into the case and found out that the male student had been a golden boy. You know the type. He was one
of the top students involved in many extracurriculars, and he was beloved by all the students and staff.”

“Celeste is a good actress,” | said. “Honestly, you guys would make a good crfighting duo. With the way that
you can read people and uncover hidden information. It’s very impressive.”
“I'm not in it for the money like Celeste,” Ava assured me. “I just want to bring Chole and her mother to justice.”

“So, you said that the missing boy’s mom and dad got a divorce, is there anything else that you know about
them?” | asked.
Ava’s mouth turned down in a frown, and she shivered slightly. “Well, the boy’s mother actually passed away last
year.”
| clasped my hand over my mouth in shock. “How?”
