The Summer Job

Chapter 15

I put the three notes together and examined them with Lisa.

"Same handwriting," Lisa said as if she has discovered a new revelation.

"Come on help me think. I feel like I can't think," I said as I rubbed my head.

"Okay it can't be Richard because he can barely write," Lisa said as she stared at the notes.

"It can't be Peter because..."

"...He seemed confused when he saw the note," I explained but Lisa looked confused.

"That doesn't excuse him," Lisa replied quickly.

"The note was sticking out of the post box when we got here."

Lisa nodded, "then who could it be?"

I have no idea.

The third note Peter had picked up read:

I am giving you one last chance. If I see you in work then I am afraid I am going to have to leave you a surprise in work. For everyone to see.

"Who would do this and why?"

"If I knew I would have been able to sort this out in the beginning."

"Well think harder," no one came into my head.

I shook my head and Lisa rolled her eyes at me, "then risk it and go to work."

"Do you want someone dead Lisa?!?"

"If it means we get some DNA to find out who is doing this then why not,"

"Lisa!"

"Wake up and smell the danger. You are being threatened. Instead of investigating ourselves why not take this to the police ourselves."

"I don't think we should..."

"Oh yh I forgot its because more annimal corpse need to be gifted to you!"

"Lisa please be mature about this,"

"You want maturity? Then stop being biased and look into Peter. I think he is suspicious."

"Why?" I asked with my eyebrows furrowed.

"Just because he didnt leave the notes doesn't mean he isnt the one writing it."

"He has no reason to not want me in work."

"Well isn't it suspicious how he took a likening to you quickly. Like have you ever been to his house before?"

"Why are you trying to argue with me?"

"I am not! Just investigate the man because clearly he knows more about you than you know about him."

"What about Richard?"

"Investigate the two of them because it's either one. No one else really knows you in work."

"Might as well investigate Davison!"

Lisa walked to the door but before she left she said.

"Take dad's word for it. He knows it when someone is up to no good."

She was talking about Peter.

After that I stayed in my room the whole day. Sitting on my bed starring at the notes.

I couldnt come up with anything. But I knew one thing.

I had to get to know Peter more.

Because it's definitely not Richard.

                                 *

                    Fun things to do:

-Stay overnight in a locked building.

-Get chased by the police.

-Get drunk.

-Jump into a river at night time.

-Get an unrealistic pet.

-Go to work in a matching onsie with a friend.

-Dance on the Central line.

-Tell someone your deepest darkest secret.

I made note of these activities in my journal. Through this I would be getting to know Peter and it wouldn't be obvious.

I texted Peter straight away:

Are you free tommorow evening? Remember your 'how to have fun?' session. We are still doing it right?

Peter immediately replied back with two words.

Hell yes!

I smiled at his response.

Me: Pick me up tommorow at 10pm. You won't regret Peter.

Peter: I kind of trust you with my life right now.

How can such an angel try and get rid of me through threats.

Peter wouldnt do it but its always good to be sure.

For now I was going to risk it all and go to work.
