Chapter 1
Away from home
“MATT~!” Lois groaned. “Give me my hat back!” she said as she flicked her chestnut hair out of her eyes, smile disappearing, a frown appearing on her face threatening to scare her perfect features. “And why would I do that?” Matt cheekily questioned, not taking any notice to Lois’s strop. “Because I have to look my best, it’s my first day of school and I need to give a good first impression, only the smartest girls go there, even the next generation of important families are going there!” Lois quickly answered as she attempted to grab her hat. Matt held the hat above his head as he swiftly dodged her arms that were being thrown at him. “But I don’t want you to, remember what there happened last term.” Matt said as he gave Lois her hat back. She sighed as she snatched it out of his hands brushing it off to make sure there were no sweaty hand marks on it. “The case was closed by the police two weeks ago, there’s no reason to worry.” Lois replied as she straightened her hat upon her head, making sure her hair was still in check. “Lois, I know you, I know you will keep looking for the murderer, who killed Zoey, so I will worry, whether you like it or not.” Matt said as he readjusted her hat, so it stood slightly to the side. “Don’t talk about my sister like that. Now, do I look good?” Lois said, turning slowly around so Matt could see her floral dress at every angle. “You look fine, now get in the car. I don’t think Pete can wait any longer.” Matt sighed as he hurried his best friend to the car waiting outside. “try to not to go to detective on that school, I’ll see you at half term.” Matt says as he closes the front door behind them and steps outside to see their friend Pete’s red car waiting for her. They said their goodbyes and he watched as she left their small village once again.
