“So Ryan, what are we doing today?” Michael asked.
“Everyone will be looking for evidence.”
“Ok.”
“Tell Miriya & Cassie that I need to see them.”
“Ok.” Michael went to go find them & after five minutes he did. “Hey guys.”
“Yeah?”
“Ryan needs to see you.”
“Ok.” they said heading to the locker room.
“Yeah Ryan?” Cassie asked.
“I need you to do something.”
“What?”
“When you guys were training, you got medical training right?”
“Yeah.”
“Good.”
“What do you want us to do?” Miriya asked.
“I want you two to go & look at Drew & see if you can find anything we can use as evidence & look & see how many times he got shot & get the bullets out.”
“Ok.” So Miriya & Cassie went out to the van to get the med kit & went back into the locker room.
“Gloves.” Cassie said. Miriya got out two pairs of gloves.
“What else do we need?”
“Get out a flashlight, some tweezers, & a disposal container.”
“Ok.” Miriya got out all of the supplies & they put the gloves on.
“Alright let’s start.”
“Ok.” So they started to look for bullets or bullet holes. By the end of the day they were almost done when Ryan came into the locker room.
“Are you done?”
“Yes.”
“Ok, I want you guys to take all of the evidence to the lab, test, & see if you can find out who the murderer was.” Ryan said.
“Ok.”
“So go around to everyone & collect all the evidence.” Ryan said.
“Ok.” So Miriya & Cassie went & got all of the evidence, they got Sam’s, Amanda’s, Ryan’s, Michael’s, & theirs. But when they came to get the evidence that Zach collected they couldn`t find him. They looked everywhere. Finally they found him in the van.
“Zach what are you doing?”
“I`m looking for the med kit.”
“Well you`re not going to find it.” Miriya said.
“Why?”
“Cause it`s in the locker room.”
“Ok.”
“Zach why do you need it?”
Zach started to walk back to the arena. Miriya saw blood on Zach’s arm, she ran up to him.
“Zach, what happened to your arm?”
“That`s why I need the med kit.”
“What happened?”
“Someone, who I`m guessing was the murderer, came up behind me when I was getting evidence & slit my arm.”
“Ouch, we should go clean that up & put something on it to keep it clean.
“Ok.” So the three of them went into the arena & to the locker room.
“I think we should clean it, wrap it, & go to the hospital so they can look at it.” Cassie said.
“But I thought that you guys are trained med people.”
“We are but you need stitches & we can`t give you stitches.”
“Ok.”
So they got out the cleaning solution. “This might sting a little.” Cassie said.
“Ok.” Then she sprayed the stuff on Zach. “Ahhhhhh.”
“We told you it was going to sting.”
“ I know, are you done?”
“No, I have use the whole bottle.”
“Ok.” She spayed the rest of the bottle.
“Ok, was it that bad?”
“Yes.”
“Cassie, you know it hurts.” Miriya said.
“Yeah. Ok When we get to the hospital they might want to clean it again.”
“Ok.”
“Now I`m going to wrap it & then we can take you to the hospital. Then you can come to the lab with us if Ryan wants us to take the evidence to the lab, then we`ll meet somewhere to eat, then go back to the hotel.
“Ok.”
“Cass do you want me to wrap it?” Miriya asked.
“Only if you want to”.
“It doesn’t matter to me.”
“Ok, you wrap his arm & I`ll go ask Ryan if he wants us to take the evidence to the lab.”
“Ok”.
Cassie left the locker room to go find Ryan. While she was looking for Ryan, Miriya got out a bandage to wrap Zach`s arm.
“ I`m going have to wrap it kinda tight, so it might hurt a little.”
“Ok.” She started to wrap Zach`s arm.
“Ahh.”
“Sorry.”
“It`s ok.” While this was going on Cassie had just found Ryan.
“Hey Ryan.”
“Yeah.”
“Mir & I are going to take Zach to the hospital &…”
“Why, what happened to Zach?”
“His arm got sliced.”
“Ok, what else did you want?”
“I was wondering if after we were done at the hospital if you wanted us to take the evidence to the lab & then we all could meet for dinner.”
“Yeah, umm meet at McDonalds at seven.”
“Ok.” She said & made her way back to the locker room came Right when she got back Miriya was just finishing putting the bandage on Zach`s arm.
“So what did Ryan say?” she asked.
“He said yeah take the evidence to the lab & meet at McDonalds at seven.”
“Well we better hurry then cause we have to take Zach to the hospital & it`s four now.”
“Ok let`s go then.” Cassie said as they went out to the van. She got in on the driver’s side, Miriya & Zach got in on the passengers side. Cassie got out the keys & started the van. They were just pulling out of the parking lot & had just got onto the highway when a cop pulled up behind them.
“Oh crap.” Zach said as he looked into the rear-view mirror.
“Just stay calm & maybe he`ll just pass us up.”
“No he won`t.”
“Why?”
“Cause it`s not a he.”
“Ok miss smart ass.” They drove a little farther; the cop was still following them. Then the cop saw Amy`s face in the mirror.
“That girl can`t be old enough to be driving, but she is driving pretty well.” The cop said then the cop turned on her siren. Cassie pulled the van over to the side of the road & the cop pulled up behind them, got out of the car & walked up to the van.
“Miss may I see your drivers license & another form of identification?”
“Sure.” She took out her driver’s license & her badge.
“I`m detective Cassie Miller of the PDA & these are two of my partners Detective Zach Schwartz & Detective Miriya Soergel.”
“Ok, this picture looks like you but I`m going to have to scan it just to make sure.”
“Ok.” The cop went back to her car & scanned Cassie`s license, then walked back to the van.
“Ok, sorry Detective, so you guys are from Pittsburgh, why are you here in Wilkes-Barre?”
“We`re investigating a case.”
“Yeah Drew Fata`s murder.”
“I heard that, that was a dangerous case, `cause the murderer keeps coming back & trying to hurt or kill you guys.”
“Yeah, right now we`re on our way to the hospital.” Cassie said.
“Why?”
“Cause the murderer silt my arm & I have to get stitches.”
“Aren’t at least one of your partners medically trained?”
“Yeah, Cassie & I are but we`re not qualified to give stitches.”
“Well if you need anything just call.”
“Ok.”
“Well I`ll let you go.”
“Ok.”
Then the cop went back to her car. Then they drove to the hospital & waited for an hour before anyone came up to them.
“Hi.” The nurse said.
“Hi, were detectives from the PDA & my partner needs stitches.”
“Ok.” Then Zach & the nurse went back to the emergency waiting room.
“Ok, what`s your name?”
“Detective Zach Schwartz.”
“Well, Mr. Schwartz before I can do anything, I need you to fill out some paperwork.”
“Ok.” So Zach filled out three papers & finally they took him back to the emergency room. They asked him questions then.
“Ok, before I can stitch it, I`m going to have to clean it.” The doctor said.
“Oh great not again.” Then the doctor got out the spray bottle & sprayed his arm. “I`m going to numb your arm so your going feel a stick & a burn.”
“Ok.” Then the doctor stuck the needle in Zach`s arm.
“Ahh.” Then his arm went numb & the doctor stitched up his arm.
“Ok, before you go I`m going wrap it again, keep it wrapped just for today & come back in about ten days & we`ll take out the stitches.”
“Ok.” Then the doctor wrapped his arm, then Miriya, Cassie, & Zach left & went to the lab.
When they got to the lab Cassie put the gun on the scanner. When the results came up on the computer screen there were about fifty different people’s prints.
“Miriya, Zach come here.”
“What?”
“Look at how many different people`s prints are on here.”
“Oh my God, there’s no way we`re going to find the murderer’s prints.” Miriya said. “I know.”
“Guys it`s six forty-five, we should probably get going so we can meet Ryan on time.” Zach said.
“Ok.” Then they went out to the van & drove to McDonalds. After they got their food they all went to a table.
“How did it go at the lab.”
“Bad.” Zach replied.
“What do you mean bad?”
“When we scanned the gun for prints, well.”
“Were there prints?”
“Yeah.”
“So what was the problem?”
“There were like prints from fifty different people”.
“Ok, well I guess what we have to do is just look for more evidence & wait until the murderer comes back.”
“Ok, so what are we doing tomorrow?” Sam asked.
“Well I guess just hang out at the arena for a while.”
“Ok.”
“Oh, not tomorrow but the day after we have a day off.” Ryan added.
“Cool.” Miriya said. Then everyone ate & went back to the hotel. Cassie went back to her room & Miriya knocked on the door.
“Yeah?”
“Hey, it`s only right so do you want to go to the pool?”
“Sure, let me put my suit on.” Miriya went into Cassie`s room & waited for her to put her bathing suit on.
“You ready?”
“Yeah.” Then they walked down to the pool. When they got there Zach was in the deep end. Miriya & Cassie went to the deep end of the pool & put their towels on two of the chairs.
“Hey Zach.”
“Hey guys.” Then Miriya & Cassie took off their shorts & t-shirts. Zach started to stare at Miriya.
“Zach is something wrong?”
“No.”
“Ok, how colds the water”
“It`s not cold at all.”
“Ok.” Kay backed up about two ft ran & jumped into the pool.
“Oh my God.”
“What?” Cassie asked.
Miriya splashed Zach. “What was that for?”
“You said it wasn’t cold.”
“Sorry.”
“It`s ok, I`ll get used to it.”
“Ok, good.” Then Cassie slowly slide into the pool.
“So Zach how’s your arm?”
“It`s ok, the chlorine isn`t helping.”
“It sucks that you got hurt.”
“Yeah.”
“So did Ryan get everyone tickets to the Penguins' game?”
“Yeah.”
“Did he give you guys you tickets yet?”
“I think he said that he was going to give them to us tonight or if we weren`t in our rooms he was going to put them on one of the beds.”
“Ok, any idea of where the seats are?”
“Um I know that mine, DJ`s, Zach your`s, & Michael`s are in the front row next to the penalty box.”
“And where are the rest of sitting?”
“The row behind us.”
“That sucks.”
“I know.” Zach started to get out of the pool.
“Zach where are you going?” Cassie asked.
“To the hot tub you guys coming?”
“Sure.” Miriya & Cassie got out of pool; Zach tried but slipped on the edge. Miriya grabbed his hand & pulled him out. Miriya & Zach were very close to each other, almost hugging.
“Oh, shit, sorry.” Zach said.
“It`s ok.” Then they all went over to the hot tub. When they got in Miriya was thinking, “If only Cassie weren`t here & Zach liked me, this would be a great place to make out.”
“Miriya are you ok?” Cassie asked.
“What?”
“Are you ok?” Zach asked.
“Yeah, I was just thinking.”
“Ok.” at ten fifty they left the pool & went up to their rooms.
“See you guys in the morning.” Zach said.
“Good night.” Replied Miriya.
“Night.” Cassie added before heading into her room.

“Yeah Ryan?”
“It`s time for your usual job.”
“Great, who am I calling?”
“Rico.”
“Rico who?”
“Drew`s brother.”
“Wait, you want me to call Rico Fata.?”
“Yes.”
“Oh my God, Cassie I get to call Rico.”
“Well hurry up or I`ll make someone else call him.”
“No, I`ll do it.” She got out her cell phone and called the Mellon Arena.
“Hello.” Edzo the Penguins' coach answered.
“Hi, I was wondering if I could speak to Rico Fata.”
“Who is this?”
“My name is Detective Miriya Soergel from the PDA.”
“Yeah, um I`ll get someone to go get Rico.”
“Thanks.” Edzo went out of the Pens locker room and up the runway to the boards.
“Hey Rico you got a phone call.” Rico skated over to the boards & down the runway. Before going into the locker room.
“Who is it?”
“A detective.”
“Ok.” Rico went into the locker room and picked up the phone. “Hello?”
“Hi, my name is Miriya Soergel, I`m a detective from the PDA.”
“Ok?”
“Well I`m one of your biggest fans & I`m going to do something I`m going to regret.”
“Like what?”
“Probably break your heart.”
“How?”
“By telling you something.”
“By telling me what?”
“I have some bad news.”
“What is it?” he asked now sounding a little irritated.
“Well I`m down here at the arena in Wilkes-Barre & this is going to be a shock for you, well your brother Drew, he was murdered today.”
“Oh my God.”
“I`m sorry.”
“Yeah.”
“I`ll keep you updated on everything we find out about the murder.”
“Ok.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.” Then they hung up. Miriya was about to cry.
“Mir what`s the matter?” Cassie asked.
“I was so excited that I called Rico Fata & now I realize that his brother is dead & by telling him that I broke his heart.”
“Mir it`s not your fault.”
“I know.” Just then Ryan came back in.
“Ok, Miriya did you call Rico?”
“Yeah.”
“Sadly.” Cassie added.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, sadly she called.”
“Ok, why?” Ryan asked. “I thought that you were happy that you were calling Rico Fata.”
“Yeah, I was happy that I was calling him, `cause we like him, but when I was talking to him, I realized that I was breaking his heart by telling him that his little brother was murdered, doing something he loved.”
“I mean how would you feel if someone called you up & told you that Josh or Jacob was murdered?” Cassie asked.
“Well I really wouldn`t care bout Josh.”
“Oh, come on yes you would.” Miriya said.
“Ok, I would be really upset and sad.”
“That`s how Rico feels right now.”
“Ok, well you two go tell everyone that we’re done for today & the chief got us a hotel, so let’s go get some dinner & go to the hotel.”
“OK.” Miriya & Cassie said. They left the locker room & told everyone. Then they went to the van & headed to Arby`s. After they were done eating they went back to the hotel. The next morning everyone got up at seven, put on their gear and went to the arena.

The Romantic Murder [A Hockey Murder Mystery] Three

Sam went outside; she went to the van & opened the back door to get the caution tape. When she opened the door, bang a bullet whizzed right by her ear. She slowly turned around.
“Drop the gun!” She said taking out her own. “Put your hands on your head this is the police.” Then the person ran, Sam took a quick look at them but couldn`t tell if it was a guy or girl.
She got the caution tape & went back into the arena and to the locker room. “Hey Ryan.”
“Yeah what`s up?”
“I’d like to report something.”
“What?”
“Attempted murder.”
“Of who?”
“Me.”
“When, where?”
“When I was outside getting YOU the caution tape.”
“Oh my God can you tell me anything about the person?”
“Yeah, I couldn`t tell if they were male or female, they were wearing a baggie black shirt, jeans, & a ski mask.”
“That`s good.”
“Hey guys do you think that, that person could have been the murderer?” Cassie asked.
“I`m not sure, Sam did the person say anything?” Ryan asked.
“No.”
“Did you say anything?”
“Yeah, I said drop your gun, put your hands on your head this is the police. Then they ran.”
“Do you think you could tell what kind of gun it was?”
“All I know is that it was a pistol.”
“Alright.”
“Sorry I couldn`t give you any more info.”
“It`s ok. Hey Zach.”
“Yeah.” He replied from across the room.
“Could you go get Miriya & tell her I need to see her?”
“Yeah, where is she?”
“I think she`s out on the bench talking to the guys we questioned.”
“Ok.” Zach said leaving the locker room heading up the runway. When he got to the ice he gilded over to the bench. While he was gilding over Miriya was talking to Surovy & Eric.
“So guys does anybody but you two, TK, Beech, my partners, & I know what happened to Drew?”
“No.” Surovy answered.
“That sucks.”
“Why?” Eric asked.
“Cause I`m the one who has to call the families.”
“Oh, yeah that would suck.” Surovy said.
“Tell me about it.” She said as Zach finally made it over to the bench.
“Hey Mir.”
“Yea.”
“Ryan needs to see you.”
“Ok.” So she jumped over the boards; Miriya & Zach started to glide over to the runway.
When they were almost to the runway Zach lost his balance and fell backwards; behind him was Miriya. He knocked her over and they both fell to the ice. “Oh sorry Mir.”
“It`s ok.” Zach stood and helped Miriya up. Then they made their way down the runway & into the locker room.

The Romantic Murder [A Hockey Murder Mystery] Two

They finally got there at about four pm, & then drove another twenty minutes to the arena. When they got there they ran into the locker room. Drew was laying on the floor, his head was on the bench at Surovy`s stall. There was blood all over him & all over the floor. The police had come but no one touched anything, so not to disturb the crime scene.
“Ryan, go see if you can find anyone we can question.” Cassie said, still with a shocked look in her face.
“Ok.” He said as he went out of the locker room & found Surovy, TK, Eric, & Beech sitting on the bench. Ryan walked out onto the ice & slipped. After he got up & glided over to the bench.
“Hey you guys.”
“Yeah.” Eric said when Ryan pulled out his badge.
“I`m Ryan Seiler of the PDA, my partners & I have some questions for you.”
“Ok.” TK said as they all skated over to the runway, except Ryan, who slowly glided.
When they got back to the locker room DJ pulled out his badge. “I`m DJ Straight, from the PDA, & I`ll be asking you guys some questions. What happened here?"
“Every Thursday Drew comes down here at about five forty-five; we come down at about six ten. This morning we were practicing & he came in here to take a shower. We were still practicing & heard something, it sounded like gun shots, but we didn`t know `cause there`s always weird sounds down here in the morning. So about seven we came down & Drew was lying in the shower, half dead.” Surovy said.
“We brought him out here & asked him what happened & in the middle of saying it he died.” Beech added almost choking on his words.
“Do you have any idea of who the murderer could have been?” DJ continued the questions.
“No, but we found a gun by Drew, that I`m guessing was the murderer’s.”
“Ok.” DJ said finishing his questions.
“When is the next game here?” Michael asked.
“Tomorrow night at seven.” Surovy answered.
“Well, Miriya what do you think we should do?” Zach asked.
“Well there`s no way we can finish the investigation by then.”
“Ok, get this place roped off.” Ryan commanded them.

The Romantic Murder [A Hockey Murder Mystery] One

On a bright, November day Miriya, Cassie, Sam, Zach, Dj, Amanda, Michael, & Ryan were sitting in the lobby of the Grand hotel, when Amanda’s cell phone rang.
“ Hello?” Amanda said after pushing the send button to answer her phone.
“Yes, is this Amanda?”
“Yeah, who’s this?”
“This is the PDA.”
“Ok?”
“We have a murder case on our hands & only the best detectives will be able to solve it.”
“Right we’re, on it.” Amanda hung up the phone. “Guys to the cars.”
“On it.” Everyone responded as they got up off the chairs they were sitting on. “Miriya, Sam, & Zach, you with me.” Michael said as he started out the door.
“Got it.” The three of them replied.
“Dj, Cassie, & Ryan you with me.” Amanda said once they all reached the sidewalk in front of the hotel.
“Got it.” Everyone got into the two light blue jeeps & they drove to the other side of town. They pulled up to the PDA (Pittsburgh Detective Agency), went in, & walked up to the front desk.
“Good you`re here.” The man who they had spoken to before said.
“What`s our assignment?’ Ryan asked.
“There was a murder of someone you know.”
“Who?” Cassie asked surprised.
“Do any of you know someone named Drew?”
“Drew who?” DJ asked.
“Wait do you mean Drew Fata, Rico`s little brother?” Zach asked.
“Yes.”
“How did it happen?” Miriya asked.
“All that we know is that he was shot in the Wilkes-Barre locker room early this morning.”
“Oh my God.” Miriya replied no short of breath.
“We need you guys to get ready, you need to leave for Wilkes-Barre within the hour.”
“Ok.” Everyone replied. They all went under the counter & to the back. They put on there black uniforms, and their name tags, got their pistols, flashlights, belts with extra magazines, pepper spray, hand cuffs, and their badges.
When they were finished getting their stuff they all went out to the armored van & headed to Wilkes-Barre.
