I grinned as | threw my blanket off ofand jumped out of bed. | loved how my best friend and | always seemed
to be on the swavelength.
Quickly, | put on a plum dress, black high heels, and put my hair in a low slicked back bun. The coffee had just
finished brewing when Ava knocked on my door.
| ushered her inside, poured a cup of coffee for my friend, and offered her a chocolate chip muffin | had picked
up from the store the other day.
As she took a sip of her coffee, she gavea questioning look. “Why aren't you having any coffee?”
| rubbed my still sensitive stomach. “I'm a little queasy,” | admitted. “But that’s not what's important. Have you
learned anything else?”
Ava'’s eyes flashed with excitement, and she put her coffee mug down and leaned toward me. “Last night, Amelia
managed to get Chloe drunk and seemed to learn a lot of information from her.”
My hands gripped my water bottle. “Woah! That was smart.”
Ava nodded in agreement and pulled up the voice recording on her phone. As | waited for it to play, anticipation
coursed through me. Would this finally be the evidence we needed to put Chloe behind bars? Also, | was
impressed that Amelia hadn't used her money or resources to find out more about Russell's murder. She had
been cunning, and for that, | had to respect her.

“Russell was always a wimp...B-but | wasn’t cruel when | buried him. | felt bad for w-what happened and his...
final resting place was beautiful.” Chloe sniffed, and | wondered if there were tears in her bright eyes. “He would
have liked it, | think. | found a small hill and t- there were vibrant, beautiful flowers of every color and a small
pond. H-he has a view of a log cabin, too.”
Ava and | shared a surprised look. If | didn’t know any better, | would say there was remorse in Chloe's voice.
The recording ended there, and we were silent for a few minutes as we processed what we've just heard. | knew
that we couldn’t turn this recording over to the police as evidence, especially because Chloe sounded drunk, but
Amelia had found out where Russell's body was and that was the task | had given her yesterday.
Ava pulled out a piece of paper from the research we had done the other night. “Russell was born in Luceland,
and Chloe’s family transferred there her senior year because she had been expelled from her old school for
assaulting a classmate in New York.”
| gasped. “It’s all coming together!”
Ava nodded, but the excited smile slipped off of her face like someone had wiped it off. “But the location of
Russell's body is too vague. I'm sure that there are many ponds surrounded by flowers that are next to a cabin in

“I don’t think that Russell's body is by a mountain,” | said. “Chloe had said ‘small hill’ in the recording. No one
would refer to a mountain as a small hill.”
Ava poured herself another cup of coffee and nodded. “I agree.”
“| feel like we are at a dead end. Why don’t | try and get in contact with one of Russell's old friends?” |
suggested.
“Yes! That's a great idea. | remember

“Since she lives in Luceland too, | bet she could help us find the place where Chloe buried Russell,” | added.
“Well, we know what our next step should be...planning a trip to Luceland,” she said.
