We are having our children write something every day in response to a prompt we get from different websites. **Chapter 1** The Last Song A beautiful duet was being played on piano one night. It was the last song that person ever heard. It was dark in that house. They ordered pizza for dinner. After they finished eating the pizza they played a song together on the piano. What one of them didn’t know was that the other was plotting to kill them. When they finished the song it was time. It was quick; they shot them and they died. The only thing left was a bitten piece of pizza on the piano. The neighbors heard the gunshot and immediately called 911. From the sound of a beautiful song to the sound of a horrible gunshot. The police rushed to the address the neighbors gave them. There was no sign of the body or the murderer. After further investigations they found that the murderer hid the body in the coat closet. They found out because the detective was going to put his coat in the closet but he found the body instead. The questions they wanted to know was: Why would he kill her? and Who killed her? They searched the whole house for DNA but didn’t even notice the piece of pizza. They had lost all hope of finding the murderer. They soon stopped trying to find them. But the detective was still on the case. A few months later the police station received a phone call from the detective. He said he found a bitten piece of pizza on top of the piano. The police rushed to the house to take the piece of pizza to get the DNA. The detective later found out from a neighbor that they were playing piano together. They found fingerprints on the piano keys, but they didn’t know who’s was who’s. Since they found the pizza slice they decided to look at the victim’s phone who they later found out was a girl named April Gardener. They looked at the recent phone calls and found that she called the pizza place. They went over to the pizza place to find who delivered the pizza to the house. They asked if they could describe the man that took the pizza. They said he was a huge tall dude with an Astros hat on and a white t-shirt. They also sketched the person for them, and they described the car that was on the driveway. The police made an announcement that whoever saw a person with a white truck call the police and report the license plate number, and if anyone owned a white truck that they should come to the police station. Many people came but no one matched the description or the DNA. Later the police released the sketch from the person that worked at the pizza place. A woman came to the police station a day later and said she thinks she knows the man that was sketched. She gave them the address and the police rushed to the house. The DNA matched the man at the house. His name was Bob Strider. The police later learned that Bob Strider was a new gang member. He got in because he killed April Gardener. The police now know who killed April Gardener and why he killed her: to get into a gang. Everyone mourns for April but there is no bringing her back. Bob Strider was sent to prison for life but April is still dead. **Chapter 2** Lactose intolerant Everyone thought Bob Strider was in prison for life but he got out after 10 years. And he was not done yet. He was still in the gang and he got an assignment. (He is one of the bangers). His assignment was to kill someone that was bothering the gang for some time now. His name is Aragorn Pinn. He lives right next to their meeting place and they think he knows a little too much about their whereabouts. He got a paper with information about him. It said: **Aragorn Pinn** **Lactose intolerant** **Single** **Loves piano** **He is a detective** Bob came up with a plan: His sister owes him a favor so he will ask her to go on a fake date with him. He will be hiding in her trunk ready to kill him. He is going to kill him by pretending to be a pizza delivery man and since Aragorn is lactose intolerant he’ll feed him the pizza and kill him while he’s weak. It sounds easy. Date night. All is set. He dresses up as a pizza delivery man and gets a pizza. Just before he rings the doorbell he hears the song that he played on piano with April. He pushes that memory away and rings the doorbell. *Ding Dong*. ‘Who is it?’ says Aragorn. ‘Pizza!’ Bob says. ‘I didn’t order pizza though’ says Aragorn ‘I did’ says Bob’s sister. ‘Ok’ says Aragorn. Bob walks in and offers pizza. ‘I’m lactose intolerant’ Bob still forces the pizza into his mouth. You can barely hear the muffled cry of Aragorn. Bob grabs the knife from his pocket and quickly stabs him. ‘Goodbye’ and you Aragorn was never heard of again.
