A smiled played across Rob’s lips. He gave a short nod, letting him enjoy the feeling of knowing something that Lissa didn’t. He let his eyes close, blocking himself from looking into her stare, painfully shadowing the pasing and the watching she had done.
“They said to go meet them at Clark’s Diner.”
Lissa stoped pacing, at least for part of a second. Then her feet seemed to drag her to go back to their task of moving, to help get the worry out. A non-working therapy.
Getting out of the car, Lissa was still and tired with worry. What if Rob’s friends didn’t figure out the riddle, and they were no where!? That would be terrible.
She forced herself to get out of the car, to close the door and lock it. To march over to Rob and his friends.
“Johndom33.”
“Lissa.”
“Ionno.”
“Lissa.”
“dedhed.”
“Lissa.”
“tbrophy.”
“Lissa.”
“Twin Pop.”
“Lissa.”
After introductions were done, they got to work. Johndom33 was quick to point out how there was a date. Ionno started to ask questions about the scene, more about the where they had been than the note. Lissa smiled to herself. If this one calmed down, they would make a good partner. After that, everyone was quiet for a bit, thinking. Dedhed broke in, translating the code into nothing understandable. But then they all realized that at the front of the note it said, ‘HQ’.
“They aren’t working alone.” Rob spat out. Lissa’s mind seemed to hover in the air. Rob NEVER got mad. He had even been playing cat and mouse with her, using the phone call as bait. Something was odd…
Suddenly dedhed shouted out, “BANG TOY MEET RAGE! Could it be something about kids and a broken toy??”
Rob gave a little snort or laughter. “This is a crime scene, not a playroom.”
Suddenly tbrophy gave a gasp of surprise. Then he smiled, and looked up. “What if,” he said, “You put this there.”
HQ * BAGEMENT AT ROEYG
HQ MEETINU AMOOOOW * 12/27/08
“No,” he said, puzzled again. “Maybe S should replace G. That’s basement. And U would be G, making meeting!” He looked up, his eyes shining.
Then it was Twin Pop’s turn. HQ * Basement At Joey’s / HQ Meeting tomorrow.
“Who’s Joey?” Lissa wondered out loud. She and Rob were walking down an old ally, behind Rinear’s Bank.
“Wait! Who’s that?” Rob whispered. A shadow was entering. And following it was a man, the man and his shadow. The mystery man went over to a trash can. Someone stood up beside it.
“Joey – here’s ur thing. $100. That enough?”
“Yeah”
Rob and Lissa followed ‘Joey’ back to his house. He turned around, saw them, and suddenly, Lissa’s mind went black.
When Lissa woke up, Rob was gone. Hurrying around to the door, she started to raise her hand to knock.
Question
peace*out
1) The Note...
“So.” Said Rob, getting of the phone.
“So what!?! Did they find anything??”

(The House above the door)
Then she stopped. Something was under the doormat.
She picked it up. It was a folder. Inside, there were documents. These:
Go HERE for a sec, and look at all the posts for the Things That were there...
Smiling she reached for her phone, with Rob’s friend’s digits. She knew what to do, but could they find out for themselves??
