Ep 4

" No, I didn't find any, why?" Helena inquired

"That's because they were wearing gloves. The person who killed him was gardening" Delainy announced.

" That don't make no sense. If the person who was gardening did it wouldn't it had been easier to leave the gloves on?"

" It would if Levi was a germophobe. Cause look at the house and how clean it is. I think the owner made the person take it off. Levi didn't want inside the house to get dirty. " Delainy deducted looking at the perfectly neat house, the only thing disturbing it being the murder of a person.

" You're good, She's good" Helena announced.

" I'm not as good as Dalton but thank you" Delainy said politely

Dalton, who was mainly facing Helena, who was opposite him but his focus wasn't on her as he stated" Just FYI, I seems like your team possibly just found the person who was lawnmowing"  Helena turned to see just past a little crack in the door was a man hanging by his neck using a rope and his hands in a pair of gardening gloves.

Delainy and Helena quickly entered the room where the other dead body was while Dalton took a deep breath before entering.

" That is a possibility but this person died before the original victim, about 3 hours" Helena informed Dalton.

" Before? Then that would mean that the original victim was killed by someone else." Dalton assumed.

" Something isn't sitting right with me. I'm going to check the lawn again to see if I missed anything" Dalton stated, leaving the house.

As soon as he reached outside, Dalton took a deep breath in. Delainy came a few seconds later asking, " Why are you coming back outside?"

" Because something isn't adding up" Dalton managed to say.

He looked at the yard then at the house across the street and then at the one next to it to see a family in their front yard. Children was playing on their scooter and whatever that one wheel, balance skateboard thingy was, as the parents overlooked them or at least the man did. The woman was sitting in their little porch watching the crime scene until she noticed Dalton watching her and looked away quickly.

Dalton, crossed the road crazily, knowing that no cars was coming before stopping right at the foot of their yard.

" Good morning, I'm Detective Donovan. Can I ask you  some question about your neighbors in that house?" Dalton asked.

" Sure" the woman replied.

" Thank you. Did you noticed anything happen by that house that seem strange?" Dalton questioned.

" Yeah, um, Our neighbor Levi invited his friend to his house again today which I found strange because they had an arguement just yesterday" The woman explained.

The man hearing the conversation intervened saying," It was a heated one too. I'm surprised they had made up so fast"

" I knew it! You was listening to! And after all those things you told me about minding other people's business." The woman exclaimed.

" Anyway do you know what they were arguing about?" Dalton asked

The woman stared in one spot for a while possible trying to remember but it didn't last long because the man answered for her saying, " There were multiple things they brought up but I feel like it was mainly about a woman"

"Oh yes, Jannice I believe her name was" The woman acknowledged.

" Do you know what time Levi invited his friend over?" Delainy inquired, who stood closer to the woman.

" I believe it was a little before 5" The man revealed.

" At what were you doing at that time?" Delainy asked.

" I had just left for my morning run and my wife was taking care of the youngest" The man said tilting his head to a cradle next to his wife before continuing," When I left the house, Levi and his friend had just arrived back in Levi's car"
