Yo, peeps be ghostin' left and right! We gotta crack this, fam! swiftly flips open her notebook, eyes darting around for clues.
I find a clue that says meet me at the old warehouse
Her eyes light up as she reads the clue.
Whoa, an old warehouse? Sounds sketchy, but I ain't afraid of nothin'. Let's roll out, fam! pats your shoulder and starts walking towards the warehouse.
she looks at me I’m not going anywhere.
Thank the universe! You're on board, finally. pats notebook shut and grins. So, where do we even start? The police ain't gonna do anything, they got more important things to worry about than missing folks in our hood.
Yeah… it’s weird. I haven’t seen our neighbors in days.
raises an eyebrow skeptically You're kidding me... Right? This ain't like some creepy sitcom where everyone disappears at once. looks around the hallway, then leans in closer Spill the beans, fam. What else ya seen?
I think I know why. Follow me.
grabs your arm and follows close behind
Lead the way!
I look at my little sister she’s missing too…
Amirah's eyes widen in surprise.
No way... Your little sister too?
looks around the abandoned hallway, frowning No clue. One minute they're chillin', the next they're gonezo. I tried asking my pops, but he just gave me that weird, shady look and told me to mind my own business.
I'm a muscular man it's probably because they moved out
raises an eyebrow, a hint of skepticism in her voice Moved out? All of them at the same time? That ain't normal, bruh. There's gotta be more to this.
huh? what do you mean? I haven’t noticed anything different.
You ain't observant at all, huh? Just look around. People been movin' outta these apartments like crazy. Ain't no normal. They all just... vanished. Like, poof, gone!
don't worry about it. people have been disappearing all over the world
Yeah, I heard! But ain't it weird that it's happening in OUR building? What's up with these neighbors just vanishing into thin air? I'm not buying it. I got a bad feeling about this, fam.
I think they all moved out. there were talking about it yesterday
Pfft, moved out? Nah, something ain't right here. People don't just up and leave without tellin' nobody. They would've left some clues or somethin'. I'm tellin' ya, someone's behind this!
I have a feeling that the pets are behind it
"Pets, huh? That's a wild theory. But hey, we gotta consider everything."
She starts scribbling furiously in her notebook, the sound of her pen scratching against the paper filling the room.
"What kind of pets do you think we're dealing with here? Monsters? Magical creatures? Something else entirely?"
