Chapter I: Pleasentview
''How peaceful. It's raining... quietly. The beautiful hills surrounding this town... The sun is clearly struggling to escape from the clouds. Perhaps a rainbow will appear? You can't see such dazzling effects anywhere else in SimNation.''

'' I am Sven Aspen, a 28 year old enthusiast from Twinbrook but living in Belladonna Cove. The industrial city wasn't really good for my health. I like to play the part of the detective, but I didn't have the opportunity to work with the Law Enforcement. I have a part-time job in the local library down in the Cove. ''

'' With great pleasure I am visiting Pleasantview. I am travelling by train. What wonderful choo-choo noises it makes. It has been quite some time since I last visited Pleasantview, but I couldn't turn down the offer of my old friend, Mortimer. ''

'' Pleasantview is big, but where Mortimer lives... It is a quiet suburban spot, perfect for runaway couples and retired elders. So, not for me. ''

'' The sky is already clearing. I am passing through Sunset Valley, the 'urban' part of Pleasantview. What a strange atmosphere. I feel like I am not wanted here. A few hills more, and - I'm here. ''

'' This town is so quiet, so peaceful... But even in the most friendly neighbourhoods there are people who are most evil, who want revenge on someone else. I couldn't even imagine what was waiting for me there... ''

Chapter II: Nice to see you again!
- Finally - I said to Mortimer.- What a pleasure to be here again.

- I am so happy that you could make it. - ''he answered. ''- How was the trip?

- Oh, it was absolutely terrible. A dreadful crowd in the train. Though, never mind about that. How are you after all these years?

-I am doing nice. I have a beautiful house, a god job, wonderful children and a great wife.

- The Simian dream. Your home hasn't changed a bit, you know?

'' It was a quite large house with very classy furniture that hasn't really changed in years. I sat on a couch which was most comfortable. ''

'' He seemed very worried about something, but I didn't want to trouble him anymore. Bella Goth suddelny appeared. She was stunning, as always, wearing a modern red dress. ''

- Oh, Sven, it is so nice to see you again! - she greeted me, with a smile on her face. - I am so sorry I can't stay, but I have to leave. I have some business to attend to. When I come back we'll have a nice old chat, Sven.

'' She was also mysterious, but it would have been rude to ask questions. She left quickly, disappeared like the wind. It was the last time I saw her. ''

'' Mortimer decided to take me on a house tour, even though I remembered almost every detail. I had the opportunity to meet Cassandra. I recall her as a toddler. She was a very modest and friendly child, but a true loner. She kept herself to herself. I also met Alexander, but he was still a toddler. A very clever toddler, much like his father. ''

'' Mortimer and I went on the roof, sat on a hard bench and talked for a while. We talked about thousands of things. He said that everyone from the neighbourhood still remembers me clearly. He even said that everyone knows that I came. It felt nice, but a bit uncomfortable. We talked about the weather, our families, SimNation's debts and even about llamas. When the topic of romance came, I  asked him the quite normal question: ''

- Mortimer, how is your marriage with Bella going?

'' He appeared to be frozen. He turned pale immediately. I knew there was something there that was wrong, but I didn't know what. I realized how upset he was by the question, and right when I wanted to say that I was joking we heard a screaming voice: ''

- Mortimer! Mr. Aspen! Come quickly!

Chapter III: Where's Bella?
''I didn't even think for a second. I ran out of the house immediately, and so did Mortimer. We were both puzzled and excited. What has happened.''

''Outside the house was Don Lothario. I remembered him as a very shallow person, very confident and a bit stupid. He was the town Cassanowa in Pleasentview - every woman liked him.''

-What's the matter, Don? - Mortimer asked. -Bella came tonight. She wanted to see mee. We were talking... uh... I went to pour some drinks... uh... When I came back she wasn't there... oh... you have to help me find her. - ''said Don. He was out of breath, clearly traumatized by the events. ''

-Mortimer, telephone the police. Mr. Aspen and I will look for Bella.

'' Off went Mortimer, and so did we. I saw him entering to the front door. He was running to the back of the house where the telephone is. Infact, he was running so fastly - I was surprised. He was always a good athlete. '' ______________________________________________

'' I don't know where Don's house is, but it was significantly further than Mortimer's house. While we were running, whe saw something like a green light and we heard a woman scream. ''

-Bella! - ''screamed Don out of fear. ''

'' We finally arrived. His house was a small condo, perfect for a bachelor such as himself. ''

'' We searched the whole house and the garden, but there was no one. Then two women appeared - Dina and Nina as I recall. I didn't remembered them from before. They just moved in, I guess. ''

-What's all the shouting? - Dina asked.

-Bella, she disappeared. We can't find her. - Don answered.

-Who are you? - a question from Nina meant for me.

-I am Sven Aspen, a guest here. Who are YOU?

-I am Nina Caliente, a resident.

'' After a bit of talking, we heard police cars. The whole house was completely surrounded by them. The house was a crime scene. ''

Chapter IV: The Investigation
'' As I said, we heard police cars. I was surprised to find out my old friend was in charge of the case - colonel Hans Aspire. He usually works down in the Cove, so I was surprised to see him here. But then again, it's probably normal, I guess. I asked him: ''

-Colonel? Is that you?

-It's me alright. - ''he said, with a devilish smile on his face. ''

-What the hell took you so long?! I though the police station is two blocks away? - ''I said. ''

-What do you mean 'took you so long'? We recieved a call 3 minutes ago!

- 3 minutes ago? But at least 10 minutes past...

- What happened here, Aspen?

- A woman disappeared.

- Then why are you all panicking?

You now that at least 24 hours must pass to report a missing person.

'' I could see Mortimer coming. ''

- Yes, colonel. But the missing person in this case, Bella Goth, disappeared in suspicious circumstances.

- What suspicious circumstances?

- Let me show you.

__________________________________________

'' We went to the top of the house. I wanted to show him my observations which I didn't mention before. ''

-What did you notice here? Everything seems normal.

- The forensics will prove othervise.

-The forensics? Are they really needed?

- Yes. Observe the floor.

'' We then looked at the floor. ''

- You see, there is a black spot. About 15 centimetres in diametre. And some powder on the top. Please analyse it. Now, please look at the telescope.

- I see nothing unusual.

- This is a special telescope. As you can see, it is in a locked position. It cannot move unless someone moves it.

- Okay... so what about that?

-Do you see where the telescope is pointed?

-Umm... It's pointed at the house next door! At the window of a bedroom.

-Excactly! And I think it is the house of the two young women downstairs. That reminds me - what's going on with them?

-They are all going to be questioned. Will you care to join me?

-Of course. But not until I show you the third evidence. '' I pulled out a silk, bright pink handkerchief, which I put in an evidence bag. ''

-Is that a handkerchief? - Hans asked.

-Yes. See it for yourself.

-Yuck, it has some slime on it!

-Read what it says on the handkerchief!

-I will read it then:

 Dear Mortimer,  '' I am so lonely. I have lost faith in everything. I am so afraid for myself. People from the neighbourhood look at me strangely and wierd things are appearing in the night. If anything happens to me, say to Cassandra and Alexander that I love them. Don't forget - I love you too. Wish me well. ''

 Your's truly,  Bella

-Do you get it now, Hans?

-It's a goodbye note. Yes, she did disappear suspiciously.

-I still you still don't get it.

'' The colonel has a disappointed look on his face. ''

-Have you noticed something strange about the note?

-Well, we'll run a handwriting test if needed but...

-Smell the handkerchief, colonel.

-You are wierd, Aspen. But, alright. - he smelled it. - I don't sense anything at all.

-Excactly! Do you recognize the ink?

-Yes. It's industrial ink from Landgraab industries. It smells like hell for a long time. What's strange about it?

- You basically answered your own question. But now we must question the witnesses!

Chapter V: The Witnesses
'' Don was the first one to be questioned. He still seemed distressed. ''

-Why did Bella come to you? - ''Hans asked. ''

-She said that she had something important to talk about with me.

-What was it about?

-I don't know, we never got to talk. I went to pour some drinks and when I came back she was gone.

-Did you... admire Bella? - ''I asked. ''

-If you must know, we were just friends. Ask anyone.

-Do you have your own theory about what happened? ''- I asked again. ''

-Isn't it clear? She was abducted by aliens!

'' The colonel and I looked at each other, thinking - what is this lunatic saying. ''

-Oh, come on, Aspen! You and I saw the green light! I guess she was afraid, she hid somewhere, went out again and she vanished!

That was strange and peculiar.

-I only have one more question: How was Bella and Mortimer's marriage? - ''if you remember - the same question I asked Mortimer, though I didn't get a response. ''

-How should I know? Is this all?

_____________________________________

'' Dina was next. Like with Don, I am only showing the important questions. ''

-I was watching TV when I heard a scream. I didn't pay much attention since this whole is weird - things like that happen all the time. Nina and I only came out when you were making such a fuss about a disappearance.

-So you believe that this whole event is a set-up? - ''Hans asked. ''

-Not necessarily. Maybe the woman just went Downtown and will come back tonight.

-What was your relationship like with Bella Goth?

-I didn't like her, nor did she me. I think it's because she has always been jealous of me and Mortimer - you know we're quite close... but you know... just friends.

____________________________________

'' Mortimer was the last one. I didn't want to write about what Nina said since it wasn't relevant. Mortimer seemed devestated. ''

-I realise this is hard for you Mr. Goth, but I must ask you a few questions. - Hans said. - When did you make the telephone call?

-I ran immediately into the house, but I got nauseous from the breath outage and I needed a minute to calm down. I telephoned then.

-Mortimer, I asked you earlier this night and I will ask you again: How was your marriage with Bella?

-It was quite well okay! - ''he shouted. ''

-Uh! Very well, how is your relationship with Dina? He almost jumped to the question.

-Dina, why... It is normal. We are close. Bella couldn't understand that.

___________________________________

'' Those were the important questions. After the interrogation, I spoke with colonel Aspire. ''

-Colonel, I need you to pay a visit around this block and question the residents about this event. Here is a list of questions that you will ask.

-Weird questions. And what will you be doing, Sven?

-I will pay a visit to the library - I think that I will find out how this crime took place there.

'' We said goodbye and then we left. The atmosphere at the Goths' was so sad. Mortimer had a tough time explaining to the kids that their mother is missing. ''

'' I spoke to Cassandra and found out that she and Don were in a relationship. When I spoke to Alexander who could barely talk, he said the most interesting thing - he saw Dina and Mortimer kiss. ''
