Mr.Kirkland was the nicest man on Nightingale street with his white slick back hair and his suit that he was always wearing he was rich and kind-hearted everyone loved him. Tragedy struck on Nightingale street on June 10 when Mr.Kirkland was found dead in his house with knife wounds in his chest. His grandkids Roseadn Ross were devastated about though they never really visited him they still were related to him. Mr. Kirkland left his family a note.
Dear Family,
If you reading this letter I have been murdered now you may be asking questions about what happened but all you need to know is that one of you did it for my money I left clues in my house on who did it. Please find out and send them to jail for me.
Love,
Mr.Kirkland
Rose and Ross looked at each other. Rose stood up and looked at her brother in disgust "how could you kill our grandfather you monster." Ross looked confused, "me? You did it Rose, you are always watching those stupid horror movies." Rose looked at her brother "you are dead to me." She walked out of the room with haterade in her heart.
…
Later that evening Rose and Ross were eating dinner when their mom started bawling about her father. Their dad ran from the kitchen and comforted her. "Shhh it's ok honey," he said with a soft voice as he held her tight in his arms. Rose just glared at her brother and then mumbled "you did this." Ross looked mad "No you did monster." Rose just rolled her eyes and continued eating. After dinner Rose was cleaning up when Ross pushed her, Rose turned around and slapped her brother in the face he started to cry and called for their mom "MOM SHE HIT ME" tears streamed through his eyes Rose stood there shook. Their mom ran in and embraced her son "it's ok sweetie" she looked at Rose "GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW AND DON'T COME OUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW." Rose felt warm tears stream through her eyes as she ran to her room. Her dad followed her "Rose what happened."
…
Up in Rose's room, she sat on her bed, knees to her chest she sat there in disbelief she grabbed the letter out of her backpack and read it again.

She read it over and over again and again then it hit her. She ran downstairs to her brother on the couch with a smirk on his face. She sat next to him and he looked at her and said "sup monster did mom send you here to apologize" Rose looked at him like he had just killed her mother. "No you dimwad I came here to tell you who did it I am here to tell you who killed grandpa" he sat up in shook "WHO!!!" She gave him a look of disappointment "it wasn't either of us it was someone in the family because it says Dear FAMILY we have to find out who did it he left clues in his house let's go tomorrow and see if we can find any." Ross looked at his sister like she was crazy "no" Rose just stood there not believing what he had just said "no?! Where you hit in the brain or something?" Ross sat there quietly with a look of regret. Rose's mom walked in "ROSE WHAT DID I SAY YOU BRAT" she walked over to Rose and slapped her across the face "GO!" Rose looked into her mom's eyes "I hate you," Rose walked out and left her mom in tears in the middle of the living room while her brother and dad comforted her. Rose sat on her bed and stared at the wall for the rest of the night.
…
The next morning Rose headed downstairs the next day when she saw her mother asleep on the couch she just ignored it and walked out the door and started walking to her grandfather's house. On the way she ran into this boy she remembered him faintly "oh hey Rose I haven't seen you since we were 12 what your 16 17 now?" Rose looked confused, "Ummm hi you?" He looked at her "Milo, my name is Milo." Rose giggled "sorry I haven't seen you in forever it's hard to remember the names of people" Milo just smirked his brown curls fell over his eyes as he pushed them out of his face Rose's heart flutters as he laughed. "Hey, can I walk you where you're going" Rose smiled "sure" the walk was awkward but Rose enjoyed it when they got to the house Milo said goodbye to Rose and walked off. Rose entered the dark house to find where her grandfather was murdered she started to cry but she whipped her tears and went upstairs when she got upstairs she went to her grandfather's room to see another note Rose picked it up as she felt a tap on her shoulder she whipped around to find her brother standing there he snatched the note and read it "give me back the note Ross." Ross looked at his sister he ran out of the room and slammed the door shut Rose ran over to the door and started jiggling the handle it was locked she started screaming as she heard her brother giggling "are you trying to cover your tracks that you murdered grandpa" yelled Ross through the door. Rose smelled smoke through the door she screamed louder as she fell to the ground crying on her knees Ross walked in and told her to get up Rose looked furious she got up and punched her brother grabbed the note and locked her brother in the room she started to read the note
