“I was able to plant a listening device into one of the necklaces that Celeste sold to Mrs. Windsor!” she said.
My mouth dropped open. “No way!”
“Yes! You see, I thought ahead and knew that I probably wouldn’t be able to get any usable evidence from Mrs. Windsor, so I made sure that Celeste said that she had to bring the necklace back for her to ‘recharge it.‘ That way, we can listen to Mrs. Windsor and her daughter’s conversations!”
“You’re a genius!” I said and gave her a big hug.
“I know, right,” Ava joked and hugged me back.
But when we pulled back, I remembered something that I had overheard.
“How did you find out that Chole had a private record?”
Ava’s face went slightly pink, and I knew that this story would be good.
*Olivia*
“I used some of my more…underground connections to figure out that she had a criminal past,” Ava explained.
“Are your connections…legal?” I asked, my tone teasing.
I sat down on her comfortable pink couch, and Ava took a seat beside
- me.

“Don’t ask me questions you know I can’t answer,” she said and grinned.
We laughed, and then Ava became serious. “While I was looking into Chole’s criminal history, I discovered that she had two past
exonerations from jail.”
“Two?” I asked, and my eyes widened.
Ava nodded. “Isn’t that crazy? I couldn’t believe it when I found ́it out.”
“The things having a rich and well–connected family will get you out of,” I said with exasperation.
“You’re telling me. Anyway, I was talking to my psychologist friend, Angie, and I explained Chole’s past and her unpredictable behavior.”
I leaned forward, intrigued. “What did Angie say?”
“Angie said that Chole might have borderline personality disorder since these criminal tendencies couldn’t have developed overnight,”
Ava said.
“I do,” she said without hesitation.. “Especially because the reason that Chole was being questioned by the police is because she had been with the missing boy the night he disappeared. She was the last to see him before he went missing.”
Then, Ava told me everything that she knew while working with Celeste. Most of the information I already knew, but I was glad to have someone on the inside to spy on Mrs. Windsor when she thought that she was in private and might say something incriminating about her daughter.
“Celeste is a good actress,” I said. “Honestly, you guys would make a good crime fighting duo. With the way that you can read people and uncover hidden information. It’s very impressive.”
“I’m not in it for the money like Celeste,” Ava assured me. “I just want to bring Chole and her mother to justice.”

“So, you said that the missing boy’s mom and dad got a divorce, is there anything else that you know about them?” I asked.
Ava’s mouth turned down in a frown, and she shivered slightly. “Well, the boy’s mother actually passed away last year.”
I clasped my hand over my mouth in shock. “How?”
