11:30 came a lot quicker than I had hoped. Don’t get me wrong I’m not scared per se, but . . . the fact that someone has the ability to torment me like that has me a little freaked. Don’t worry I’ll be fine I just need to catch whoever’s doing this to me.

Randi and I parked in front of my house Caren and Kaye were sitting in the car waiting for us. They came over and got in the car with us. All the lights in the house were still on.

“So what’s going on?” Kaye asked.

Randi and I filled them in on what happened.

“Really? Wow. Who do you think did it?” Kaye asked.

“Deirdre thinks it might be Jackson.” Randi said.

“Nah I don’t see it. He’s too stupid. Whoever’s doing it has put a lot of thought into it.” Kaye said.

“I think Kaye’s right. Any idea why someone would write sometime around midnight?” Caren asked.

“None. That’s why we’re here. To see if something happens.” Randi said. She clapped her hands together, “okay let’s get into position.”

“What time is it?” Caren asked.

I answered, “11:42.”

We sat and sat and sat.

Caren asked again, “what time is it?”

“11:43.” I answered.

“Really? Sure does feel like we’ve been sitting in here for a while. Anyone want to play I Spy?”

“Yeah why not.” Randi said.

“I’ll go first.” Caren said. “Okay, I Spy with my little eye, a girl.”

We all looked around the street, the houses, the yards, everywhere a girl would be spotted. After about five minutes of searching we gave up.

Randi said. “I don’t see any girl. You’re not making this up are you like that time you thought you saw Rihanna at Lady Footlocker. Like Rihanna would ever shop there.”

Caren got real defensive. “No. I thought Rihanna worked at Lady Footlocker. Anyways, it turns out it wasn’t her.”

“Fine. We give up.” Kaye said. “Where’s this elusive girl.”

“Upstairs window in Deirdre’s house.”
