I Dedicate this book to my sister, who              loves mystery books

“Hey!” Mai opens the door and Sia rushes to hug her , Sia’s mom turns to Mai “Oh you’re finally here! I’ve set up a room for you guys upstairs”, Sia whispered in Mai’s ear “Staying at my mom's shop, isn't that cool?”, Mai whispers back “I guess it’s cool” Sia’s mom chuckles,

 “ping!”

Sia’s mom’s phone lights up, showing a notification, “Oh, it’s that person again? I wonder why they want so many black opal necklaces…” Sia's mom goes into the supply room to grab the necklaces.

A loud crash disturbs Sia’s ears “What was that?” Mai opens the door “I think it was your mom…” Sia peeks out the door, “Yeah, i think you’re right” Sia rushes down the stairs “What happened mom?” Sia’s mom turns her head “Oh everything’s fine honey dear!” Mai walks up to Sia “I think something’s wrong…”

“Wait Mai! I got an idea!” 

Sia grabs Mai’s hand and drags her outside, “Maybe we can help my mom by solving the case!” Mai turns to Sia, “Wait but we never-” Sia runs “I’m gonna find out faster than you!” Mai ran behind Sia “Hey! Wait up for me!”

The two girls went searching for clues, Mai grunted, “We’ll never find clues because we never had a mystery!” Sia looks back “You never try, you’ll never know!” she looks in the trash can, seeing an empty bottle of perfume, “I think this belongs to Kylie!”

 Mai replies“Do you think that actually belongs to Kylie Blue? This can belong to anyone!” Sia giggles

 “Didn’t you look at the back of the bottle?” Sia turns the bottle behind, a visible note is shown, it said:

“Guess that might be our first clue” Mai smiled “We’re making progress!”

“Return to Kylie Blue when missing”

Off to the second clue, Sia is feeling happy about this next clue after finding the first clue easily, “Maybe the next clue is at Kylie’s show” “Then let’s go there already!” Mai and Sia rushed to the blue van, “Knock knock! Uh it’s Mai and Sia!”

the door opened, a bright light came out of the van, Kylie posed for a while then turned her head to the two girls.

“Now now, what is it? Do you need me to sign an autograph?” Sia replied “Actually no, we’re here to-” “Oh sorry girls, autographs are after the show! See you two there!” Sia turned to Mai “Well I guess no clues, let’s go somewhere else!” Mai continued to stare at the van “Yeah…”
