It was storming on a day that had been sunny and hot, when a big loud bult of lightning hit Brooklyn, New York. The phone rang and rang and rang at the police station. “When I went to go see Kaitlyn I was just getting off the elevator and I walked a few steps then I saw the bloody footprints when I was putting my hair brush up in my purse.” said Talighea. “I ran to Kaitlyn's room and her door was open. I walked in and I looked for Kaitlyn but I couldn't find her. I finally found her. She was on her kitchen floor. There were five bullet wholes in the counter and a knife in Kaitlyns stomach.” As soon as the police got there. Kaitlyn was already at the hospital. The police asked Talighea if their was a friend that lived in the building. There was; her name is Alice Jefferson. They go down to level eight to ask Alice a few questions. The police knock and knock and knock but Alice doesn't answer. The police got ready to leave then there is a girl waking in the hall with grocery bags. “Hello ma'am are you Alice Jefferson?” “ Yes – yes I am. Am I in trouble?” said Alice. “ No ma'am.” said the police. “ We just need to ask you a few question.” said the police. “Oh ok.” said Alice. “Where were you at six o ' clock tonight?” “Acording to these bags I was grocery shopping for dinner tonight.” said Alice. “ “How about you go inside your apartment and set those down.” said the police. Alice went inside and set the groceries down. After a two hour long conversation the police decided that she had nothing to hide. Talighea and Alice went to the hospital to see Kaitlyn. When they see Kaitlyn she is wide awake. Talighea and Alice ask if they should call a detective to solve the case. She says no. They ask why. Kaitlyn says ok you can. But, no-one is going to answer at midnight. They call and someone answers. The person says, “Hello this the department of detective agency. Detective Floozenburg speaking.” “ Hello I would like to speak to a detective that would be interested in solving The Case of the Open Door.”said Talighea. “Well, well, well, I would be perfect for that case. I am watching the news right now about the case.”said Detective Floozenburg. “Ok your hired.” said Talighea. “I will meet you tomorrow at one o 'clock at the hospital.” said Detective Floozenburg. “Goodmorning Kaitlyn, Talighea and Alice. The detective will be here at one o'clock. So in three hours.” “Ok” “Kaitlyn I want to ask you something and be as presice as you can.” said TalIghea. “ Do you remember what the person that nearly killed you looked like?” “There were three people and one knocked down the door. The second one had a gun and shot bullet holes in my counter.” The third one, well this is what I remember from what the third one did. I was getting ready to go to Alice's apartment. I was just putting my pearl neckles and pearl earings on when a man came in with a cloth and tied it around my mouth. I couldn't talk. He took me into the kitchen, and took a knife and tried to stab me with it. I took off my shoe and hit him in the face. He doidn't give up and he took another cloth and tied it around my hands. Then he finally stabbed me. I tried to yell but I couldn't because of the cloth in my mouth. Then Talighea came in and found me on the floor.” Three hours later Detective Floozenburg came to the hospital to meet with Kaitlyn. “Hi, I am Detective Floozenburg. Nice to meet you Kaitlyn.” “Nice to meet you Detective Floozenburg.” “Kaitlyn, who are the suspests that almost killed you.” said the detective. “No – one so far.” “OK. Is there anyone in the past five months that has been furious with you?” said the detective. “My cousin Danial.” “Why is your cousin mad at you?” said the detective. “Well I was trying to stand up to one of his friends. Then the next day his friend was very furious so he went to Danial’s apartment and beat him. Danial’s friend broke three bones and busted one vain. Danial just got out of the hospital the day before I was nearly killed. Danial said that he would always hate me forever.” The next day Detective Floozenburg went to meet with Danial. “Hi I am Detective Floozenburg and I want to ask you a few questions.” “Go right ahead I have nothing to hide.” said Danial. “Where were you at six o ' clock yesterday.” said Detective Floozenburg. “I was going to see a movie.” said Danial. “ What movie and where is the movie theater?” said Detective Floozenburg. “I was going to see Ailen Invation and it is right beside The Apartment Homes of New York.” said Danial. “Yes, yes that is very interesting.” said Detective Floozenburg. “What is very interesting?” said Danial. “Oh nothing. I will tell you later after you answer a few more questions.” said Detective Floozenburg. “Did you know that your cousin Kaitlyn was almost nearly killed and is in the hospital right now as we speak?” said Detective Floozenburg. “No I did not. When did this happen?” said Danial “This happened the same night that you went to the movies and the same time you said that you were at the movies.” said Detective Floozenburg. “What is the name of the movie theater.” said the Detective. “Um...um...What was it... Oh I know now. It is called Movie Time Theater.” said Danial. “Yes, yes that is very interesting.” said Detective Floozenburg. “ I will see you tomorrow Danial.” he said. When Detective Floozenburg returned to the hospital he said to Kaitlyn and her friends. “ I know a culprit.” “ Really who?” said Kaitlyn and her friends at the same time. “ I hate to tell you Kaitlyn it's your cousin Danial.” “ No no no no – I know that he would never do anything thing like this.” said Kaitlyn. “ Kaitlyn tell me is there a movie theater beside your apartment home called Movie Time Theater?” “ No their isn't.” “There is a movie theater by my apartment home.” said Talighea. The next day Detective Floozenburg went to see Danial again. “Goodmorning Danial.” said Detective Floozenburg. “ I guess you found out that I was the one that almost killed my cousin Kaitlyn?” said Danial. “ Yes but no” said the Detective “ Wait what do you mean?” said Danial “ Well I was going to put you on trial and see if you were guilty of murder. But, now that you just confessed that you murrdered; then you go straight to jail.” Danial was put in jail for seven years and Detective Floozenburg went on to become a Detective in Mississippi. While back in New York, Kaitlyn and her friends are out shopping making up for lost time. That was The Case of the Open Door.
