“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.

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.
