Blog-iary: Detective Danny PREVIEW

October 6th, 2014

Danlock Holmes

From Friday to Sunday there's one thing I've learned:

I barely know anything about Danny.

Looking at Danny, you’d probably think that he's just a silly geek, but apparently he's a former popular AND a retired deTECTIVE. And no, that wasn't a typo, he's a frickin detective. And why haven't he told me this? I interviewed him about it during lunch today. Here's what he had to say:

"You never ask."

Ladies and Gentlemen, there you have it. The reason Danny doesn't tell me so many extraordinary facts about him is because... I never ask. *claps sarcastically and over the top* Wonderful, I now understand everything. Just EVERYTHING! Anyway, what set this detective stuff off again?

Friday

It was seventh period, Danny and I were both having a civil conversation about what needs to change on my blog. In all reality I was rejecting every idea Danny brought up viciously and he, very loudly, defended his ideas while Mike and Jenny watched. Once the bell rang, Mr. Bloo started off class like usual normal until he noticed that his tablet went missing. Apparently it has tons of important pieces of writing for a few of his books and other writing pieces. He asked where his tablet went but no one said anything.

"It was right there last period and I know no one could have taken it because I was alone last period." He said, slowly getting angrier and angrier but, still, no one said anything.

"Well, until I find my tablet, I'm gonna keep you here in SILENCE and if you do start talking I'll be giving you a referral."

And so, for the rest of the period we had to be quite while Mr. Bloo looked all over his desk and the classroom. Meanwhile, Danny and I passed notes to each other.

Danny asked Mr. Bloo multiple questions and he seemed to get less and less angry after each question. Danny seemed to really be calming which is a change from his out-there self.
"Ok, I want everyone out of the classroom." Danny shouted.
"That means you too Dan and Mr. Bloo."
I followed his orders and left the classroom. Outside, I had talked to Jenny and Mike during the whole ordeal.
"It HAS to be Tate, he's always stealing stuff. Just like he did back in 5th grade." I said
"Uhh, I don't think so. He isn't THAT bad anymore and he's a cool guy now." Mike said.
"Well, for YOU he is, but in science, he completely hates my guts."
"Well, maybe you shouldn't have growled at him last September in science." Mike mumbled.
"UM, do you expect me to fail science? Uh, no, so I HAD to do something."
"Yeah, but-”
"Guys, guys, calm yourselves. You’re bickering like an old married couple." I said.

"EXCUSE ME-" they said but were interrupted by Danny.
"Alright everyone, I've determined the culprit,- well sort of, you see, I was able to determine that it wasn't any student here due to the fact that the footprint I found wasn't the size of anyone here including Mr. Bloo. Though, I do have a list of suspects."
"Ooo, and they are?" Mr. Bloo said.
"We'll discuss this after school, but for now, I think you should give everyone an apology for making false accusations."
"Oh. Yes, I'm sorry for falsely accusing you all for stealing my tablet."

After that, we had a few minutes left in class. During that Danny gave Mr. Bloo a list of suspects and then they got into a short conversation about something. I couldn't hear what they were saying (mostly because Jenny and Mike were going at each other's throats) but it seemed that Mr. Bloo was really excited about something yet Danny seemed to have been pushing it down. I could tell because of the way Danny scratching his head. After, he conversation he came to the little corner Mike, Jenny and I were at.
"Hey guys, I've got a question." He said. Mike and Jenny didn't noticed he said anything so I answered.
"What is it?"
"So you know how I was a retired detective?"
"Yeah?"
"And you know how I've been in retirement for the past four years?
"YEah??"
"Soooo about that, I'm not sure if I should go out of retirement or not?"
"And why are you going out of retirement?"
"Mr. Bloo and I were talking and he wanted me to go out of retirement and try solving some missing year book case."
"And why does this missing yearbook case matter?"
"It matters because it could fuel a ghost fanatic and Phantom of The Opera to burn down the whole school."
WTD, DANNY!! WHY THE DUCK ARE YOU INTERESTED IN AN ARSON CASE??????!!!!! I screamed in my head.

I responded with silence.
"Yeahhh."
"Uhhhhhh, why can't they just call the police to solve it?"
"Because it's a year book and he has no arson suspects."
"Uhhh, that makes sEnse." I said, voice cracking in the middle.
"Yeahhhhh, so is it ok if I could take this case?"
"Yes...maybe? To be honest, you're out of you glob gam mind."
"I'm gonna take that as a yes."
"Ok;" I said, in a very 'you're-gonna-get-yourself-killed' voice.

"but you better tell them." I pointed to Jenny and Mike.
"Hey guys, guys..." Danny said.
"Nothing."
"Errr, yep but I know how to get their attention." Danny cleared his throat.
"I'm going out with Jen." Both Jenny and Mike turned their heads, stunned.
"LET ME PLANNING THE WEDDING!" Mike said.
"DON'T DO IT MAN, SHE'S NOT READY!!" Jenny said to danny (Mike and Jenny both said it simultaneously)

"Well;" I said, surprised.

"That worked."

"Anyway, I'm taking on another case." Danny said.

"And what's it about?"

"Well, it's-"

"Basically a stolen yearbook/ arson case." I interrupted

"In a way yes but-"

"There's no other way to put it. You're hunting down a yearbook thief that wants to burn down the school, loves Phantom of The Opera and wants to avenge someone's death"

"Well not exac- I mean- sign, heee basically summed it up. You guys ok with this?"

"You're out of your mind." Jenny said.

"Let me at least plan your funeral." Mike said.

"I'm just gonna take that as a yes."

"No." Jenny, Mike and I said simultaneously.

"Still taking that as a yes. I'm gonna need some help though so who wants to help?"

Dead silence.

"Well, I have to go now because the bell's about to ring." Jenny said, shoving pencils into her pencil purse.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mike said, shoving his books in his bag. They both run to the door.

"Welp I guess you're gonna help me then."

"Grrreeeeeaaaatttt" I said.

What did I get myself into. I thought.
