Not your Average Investigator (CS pet Diary)

July 28th, 2015 - The case of the Apprentice
Today I moved to a new town, Its a bit of a strange town considering its made of candy but at least i'll always have something sweet to eat...
Strange tremors have been happening lately so I decided to go up into the mountains to investigate as its always been a dream of mine to become a Detective. Im a big fan of Mystery.
The mountains are made of white chocolate but chocolate isn't very sturdy... I got my gear and started to hike up the large mountain, I managed to climb up about halfway before the mountain became unstable. I couldn't use my climbing gear anymore because it just cut through the chocolate but the path was wide enough for me to walk through. I could feel small vibrations coming from within the mountain but I wasn't worried.
I continued my journey up the white chocolate mountain and I could feel the mountain shake beneath my paws but I was so close to the top. Finally I had reached the peak, I could see a cave in the distance and something inside was moving. I decided to approach but what I saw was far more horrifying. A Yeti and I looked at each other for a moment before it started to charge.
I did what any good detective would do.
I ran for my life.
Upon approaching the edge of the white chocolate mountain I could barely see the candy cane trees at the bottom,
Why not go down the way you came up? Well the path crumbled under my paws and I barely had enough time to get up the unstable deathtrap. The Yeti backed me up to the edge and well I had no choice, I jumped off the cliff

Breaking News!
"Sucrose City residents shocked by what they have seen!
We are going to the town to see what they think!
Mr.Gingerbread, do you have any comments on the girl who was spotted falling from the candy mountain?"
"...
I dropped my fishing pole in the chocolate river when the tremors shook"
"Hah hah...Thats nice... We now bring you back to your program"
-------------------------------
I could feel the cool breeze as I plummeted to my death, I braced for impact but something caught me mid-air. I opened my eyes and saw a dog
"Nice of you to drop by. But all jokes aside, might I ask why a teenage wolf such as yourself is falling to her death?"
"I wanted to be a bird. What do you think"
"I havent explored up the mountain yet but, locals are talking about a creature up top. How about you come back to my house and you can tell me what you saw. And you owe me for saving your life so we will call it even."
After he saved me we both headed back to town, everything was broken, another earthquake must of happened while i was on the mountain. Nobody seems hurt though but the local builder has alot of cleaning to do.
"Im Pumpkin, the local private investigator. Im the guy you call for when mysteries need to be solved. E. Claire, she clones puppies and then gives them to strangers for candies"
"Thats not weird at all..."
"I know. So what did you say your name was?"
"I didn't. But if you must know Im Faith.
Pumpkin opened a folder and leaned back in his chair. He seemed to be reading something, but i didn't know what. He unlocked a file cabinet and placed the folder inside before locking the cabinet
"Pumpkin and Faith. Has a nice ring to it"
"I never agreed to anything, what are you talking about?"
"Well, junior detective, i'll let you figure that out."
"Are you offering me a job??"
"Great. I'll see you here at seven tomorrow."
He pushed me out and I decided to head home. But first I bought a journal to help me keep track. My house was a mess, everything was all over the floor. I cleaned up a bit before sitting on the couch,then I started writing...

July 29th, 2015 - The case of the Stolen Goods
I knocked on Pumpkin's door, thehouse Private Residence seemed to look nicer than yesterday. Atleast Teddy had done some progress. After a third knock I just entered through one of the many holes in the wall, Pumpkin was sleeping on the couch so I decided not to wake him. I left a note and went to the store to pick up breakfast. When I got to the store, there were cops all over the place
"Sorry, ma'am no entry beyond this point"
"What happened here?"
"Some thief robbed the store last night. The owner had left the store unattended to gather materials for Teddy. You should probably ask Teddy for anything else."
I guess im not getting breakfast for pumpkin now. I decided to head to Teddy, see if maybe he knows anything
"Hey Teddy, I have some questions for you"
"Ask away!"
"Where were you last night?"
"I was with Mr.Fletcher,he owns the store that doesn't sell anything candy related. Some of us can't survive on just candy y'know"
"Where is Mr.Fletcher right now?"
"He is over at Flapjack's Fishshack"
I headed to the fishshack. Strangely, there was a gingerbread man just sitting there.He didn't move or blink...he looks like he could be a suspect but I don't think he has moved in the past few weeks. I bet Flapjack has some cameras so maybe I can check them for Gingy's alibi. Mr.Fletcher and Flapjack were sitting at the counter when I entered
"Hey there little lady, could I interest you in our catch of the day?"
"No thanks. But I would be interested in seeing your security camera footage"
"Hold on there little lass, whats this for?
"Im investigating the robbery of Mr.Fletcher's store and I have an idea who the culprit is. I just need to see your tapes to confirm"
"Little lady, that is such an adorable story! But i'd like to see your badge or a warrant."
"settle down Jack. She is just trying to help. Let her look at the tapes"
"I suppose im being to hard on the poor girl. Here is the key to the back room. you'll find the tapes there little lass"
I entered the room and was pretty surprised to find a modern camera system considering that it would have been imported.
"Mr.Fletcher, could I ask what was stolen?"
"Sure, mostly my imported goods were stolen but a few other items too"
I wrote the items into my notepad and then I went back into the tapes room. There were an awful lot of boxes in the room and most of them were dusty but what really caught my eye was some boxes that were shoved in the corner and covered with a tarp. It had no dust on it whatsoever. I carefully removed the tarp and opened the box, inside was some of the stolen goods.

July 29th, 2015 - The case of the Stolen Goods
I stared at the box, I reached into my vest for my phone but it wasn't there.
"Wheres my phone?"
"Yes, where is your phone?"
I turned around but didn't see anyone. I could tell it was Flapjack's voice, there were speakers mounted on the wall but they seemed to be fake.
I walked to the door and tried to open it, the door was locked and the key could only be used from the outside. I kicked at the door but it wouldn't budge.
I noticed something on the corner of the door so I took a crate and stood on it. I peeled back the candy covering to reveal the door was actually made of oak. That would explain why it was so sturdy.

Meanwhile at the private Residence
"Why do I sleep better on the couch than my own bed?
A note?"

Got here at 7 but you were sleeping.
Went out for breakfast
-Faith

"shes been gone awhile..."
I got cleaned up and walked to the store, maybe Mr.Fletcher has seen her
When I got to the store the lieutenant was there
"Hey there Pumpkin, we could always use your skill if you'd want to help. Mr.Fletcher's store was robbed last night"
"tempting, however im looking for something else. Have you seen a teenage wolf come by? white curly hair, sandy fur?"
"As a matter of fact I sent her over to Teddy. She came back two hours ago and went to Flapjack's. Didn't see her leave but Flapjack just closed for the day"
"Interesting, i'll leave you fellows to go back to work"
With the information I walked to the fish hut. The lights were off and the doors were shut so I just let myself in. I could hear bits and pieces of words, I couldn't make anything else out. I saw some shadows walking around but they left shortly after. muffled yelling could be heard from the back room.
"Hello?"
"Pumpkin? Let me out! the door is locked"
"Second time in two days you need a save. You sure you want to do that?"
"Did you just? agh Never mind. Stand back"
I was stuck in the back room for almost two hours. Without my phone which made it worse. I did have time to go over security footage and dig through the boxes and now im fairly certain that I know who robbed the store. I took the tapes and put them in my vest and grabbed a rock from one of the crates. I chucked it at the door which caused a loud bang
"Uh, Faith if you give me the key i'll let you out...Faith?"
I knew the door wasn't as strong since the rock almost went through. I targeted the center of the door and used myself as a battering ram. Im sore but it worked...the only thing is
"stand back...she saidd"
We both headed back to Pumpkin's place, I ordered some takeout because Pumpkin was in no condition to go out...Maybe I should apologize?
I took the liberty to look around, The filing cabinet was wide open, I found it strange considering that Pumpkin likes to keep everything clean and neat. I looked at the cabinet, it had records of everyone in the town.
"Cashew the candy clerk -Will do anything to get candy. Seen stealing candy from Honey & Snickers"
I looked through all the files, Teddy, E.Claire, the lieutenant,and Mr.Fletcher's files were missing. I didn't think that Pumpkin would have a file on me considering I just moved to the town yesterday. There is no way he could do that much in one night.
I took the gingerbread man's file and skimmed through it but I carefully put it back where I found it
"Im sure that isn't your cabinet Faith..."
"I can explain!"
"You can start with how you unlocked the cabinet."
"I found it like this! by the way you're missing some files"
"Wait what???"
Pumpkin pushed me to the side, he dashed to the cabinet and started digging around
"They're gone! This can't be happening...."
"Whats gone?"
He wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the day, but pumpkin seemed to be gathering materials to go out. He seemed distraught and he basically shut down.
I decided to just stay with him for the night I didn't trust him but by the time I got up the next day he was gone
