Entry 8

Digby, Henry, and I went to a football game last night.  There's a drug dealer at all the games and Digby wanted to get information from her, so he convinced us to go with him.  We had to actually buy drugs from her to get any information, which was pretty scary.  We showed her the label that we found in the dumpster and she told us that it belonged to a drug dealer named Bananaman.  Apparently, he's a big drug dealer who makes and sells drugs out of River Heights.  Every Thursday night, a ton of drugs leave River Heights and go all over the East Coast and no one notices or knows who it is.  She said that recently, his drugs have been appearing more locally than they had in the past.  I don't really know what any of this means, but I'm just hoping it doesn't land me in lots of trouble, because I need a clean record to get into Princeton.

Entry 5

I was googling Digby recently because I wanted to see if there was anything interesting online, and I found something unexpected.  It does explain why he is so interested in the Marina case, though.  Apparently, eight years ago, his little sister disappeared from their house. Most accusations went towards the family, and it tore them apart apart.  The didn't know if they could trust each other anymore.  The police never found her, and the case fell through and was dropped. Now I just feel really bad for Digby and feel mean for ignoring him like I have been.

Entry 7

My neighbors in the mansion are really starting to creep me out. We found out that the one who seems to be the leader of the boys is named Ezekiel, but there is a really tall lady named Zillah who seems to run the whole place.  Tonight, Digby and Henry just appeared in my room, which is becoming a normal thing now, and told me to watch out my window with them.  We saw Ezekiel and another dude out by the Dumpster behind my house.  They threw a bunch of stuff into the Dumpster and set the whole thing on fire.  We all ran down with a fire extinguisher when they left and found a label with a picture of a banana wearing an Afro, sparkly gloves, and an eye patch that was riding a skateboard.  It seemed kind of familiar, but we couldn't place it.  Obviously, something really strange is going on in that mansion that we can't figure out.

Entry 6

I don't know why I ever agreed to do anything with Digby.  Somehow, I was convinced into breaking into Schell's office at night with him and Henry.  He brought some snow-spray and then made ME cover the security camera with it.  He already knew the code for the alarm from the last time we had gone, so he was able to turn off the alarm once it went off.  We found the password for what we think was the encrypted files that Digby stole the last time we were here.  And then we heard the sound of a shotgun.  Schell was standing in the doorway with a gun and he recognized us.  Henry threw something at him, and Shcell stepped out of the room, but locked us in before calling someone.  We all hid in the ceiling, but Schell figured out where we were and then knocked us down.  Digby jumped on Schell and all I remember after that was being nicked by the shotgun.  I woke up in the hospital and there were some cops there.  They told us that they were also working on the Marina case and agreed to clear our records if we gave them the information we had on the case.  Schell wasn't pressing charges since he also had illegal things going on in his office, so we should be fine, but that was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

Entry 4

I think that this Digby kid is insane. His main suspect for the Marina case is this guy named Schell, who's a gynecologist- and it just so happens to be my mother's gynecologist.  Today, he told me to meet him at Schell's office, so we went in.  He told the receptionist that we wanted to know about contraceptives and possibly start me on birth control (so embarrassing).  We got a fifteen- minute appointment with Schell and then Digby caused got his friend to cause a commotion so that we could get information.  He got the code to disengage the security alarm and stole some encrypted files off of his computer.  We also discovered a camera in the room that was recording patients without their permission (CREEPY).  And now Digby wants to go back there to get more information even though Schell already knows that we are causing problems.  This kid is CRAZY!

Entry 3

I have no idea what I just got myself into.  I went to a diner after I got in a fight with my mom, and Digby was there.  He had some police reports from a case about Marina Miller, a girl who disappeared from her house four weeks ago.  Apparently, he is investigating it and he has suspects and he told me all about it.  Also at the diner were a group of five boy who were all different ages, but they didn't look related and were all wearing plaid.  Digby told me that they lived in the creepy mansion across from my house.  I always see little girls wearing prairie dresses in there cleaning and the mansion always smells like chemicals.  Digby says that the little girls aren't always the same ones, either; apparently they cycle through.  Basically, it's a pretty weird place.  Anyway, the boys were about to leave without paying, so Digby stuck a mop through the door handles so they couldn't leave and they got pretty mad.  Then, Digby's friend, Henry, came out of the back.  He works at the diner, and he was one of the most good-looking guys I'd ever seen.  Henry already knew about the case that Digby was investigating, and somehow I got dragged into solving it with Digby without ever actually agreeing to help.

Entry 2

I talked to Digby again today.  I was forced to attend a meeting at school for kids who got caught skipping school on the same day that I did. It kind of reminded me of therapy, because we all sat in a circle while we are lectured by the truancy officer, some mean guy named Musgrave.  The school guidance counselor, who I'm choosing to call "Please-Call-Me-Steve" handed out cookies to us.  Lucky for me, Digby also attended the meeting.  He came late and then acted like we were best friends.  He seemed to already know Musgrave and was doing everything he could to get on his nerves.  We talked a little more and he offered to get me out of my morning classes this semester.  After some hesitation, I agreed, and now Digby and I have to do an independent project together on why skipping class is bad.  Musgrave and  Please-Call-Me-Steve are supposed to grade it at the end of the semester, but we get to go work on it instead of going to our first two classes.  Digby has already figured out a lot about me just by looking at me, so I'm convinced that the guy is some sort of weird genius.
