"What?!"
"What?!"
"What?!" the three of them screamed
"An injustice has occurred. It's time to right some wrongs." I pulled out the newspaper "You want a culprit, find the motive." I passed it to Tewksbury
"I don't understand." Tewksbury said
"When were you due to being inducted into the Lords?" I asked
"Imminently." he replied
"How would you have voted on the bill?"
"The same as my father. I'd be for it."
"Who knew that?" I asked "And who stands to gain the estate with your father dead and if you die?"
"...My uncle. You think my uncle did this?"
"no, I don't actually"
"what?" Briggs asked
"I think it's your grandma's doing" Tewksbury gasped
"my grandma! you've really gone mad!"
"Tewksbury listen! when Enola and I were at the Tewksbury Residence, your grandma wouldn't stop talking about you being a new thinker and being like your father. and she was red the whole time! I know its her and now I just need to prove it" Tewksbury shook his head
"no. no way, my grandma is the nicest to me out of anyone in my family" I shook my head
"she's played the part perfectly." Enola added "I think Jo is right"
"Doesn't it make sense?" I asked.
"but she's a powerful woman. what on earth could we do?" He asked
"Solve the crime, of course." I turned
"Amelia, we are all extremely lucky to have lived this long, and you want to drive us into a place
where there is most certain danger?" Briggs asked
"Sometimes, Boys, you have to dangle your legs in the water to attract the bloody sharks!" I yelled to their faces
"Why would we want to attract the bloody sharks?" Briggs asked in a laughing but scared tone
"Good point."
