I thought I needed to make an intro for my research so that any nosy freaks like you know what this is!
Well, I'm a big fan of true crime. And my friend, Charlie, told me about this freak case of a guy dying in their hometown. Apparently he got killed by a plant?? The police aren't sure. So I, being totally, 100% qualified (why would I ever lie to you), took it upon myself and my internet dweebs to solve this mystery.
Any info is good!
I asked my mom about PlantLife, and she said it was some fancy-pants Botany lab. Charlie promised we'd go see it together when I get to visit them again.
I also asked dad to take me to the library yesterday, and I found a book written by the guy that was murdered. It has so many long science words that make my brain itch.
IMPORTANT ADDITION: So the murdered guy is apparently called "Dr. Marcus Hawk" which is such a stupid name. And, hear this, HE WASN'T EVEN A BOTANIST. He was a veterinarian. I wonder what he was doing in that *botany* lab.
So his name was Marcus, he was 40-something, and he had a kid. that's all I caught from the book.
The book was titled "The vet ways of dr. Marcus Hawk", I think. It was about some dogs he did research on? Life forces and all that mumbo jumbo. It's kind of like astrology, all silly conspiracies.
I'll ask Charlie what else they know.
Heres a link to it if you'd like to read it! -> ✿
They only scanned chapter 1 for some reason, but I'm sure they'll scann more.
Apparently the book I read was published BEFORE Hawk's death and was written by some other scientist. The book Charlie found was written AFTER his death, and was his diary. So like... science Anne Frank.
Charlie, if you don't wanna put them up, please send the other chapters to me. I know your dad took the book away from you because he thought it was "innapropriate" but I told my mom it was a science project and she told me she'd tell your dad to give it back. DON'T, I repeat DON'T tell your dad that we're researching Dr.Hawk. He said that kids our age shouldn't dabble in conspiracies like that.
Whatever... I've been thinking about dropping the case, but Charlie said that they're "in too deep to stop" or something. Honestly, this case and the guy rampaging around their town have been the only things we talk about lately. My mom doesn't even let me sleep over at Charlie's anymore because she's scared of "the midvale gouger" or whatever. That's such a LOSER murderer name btw.
CHARLIEEE SEND ME MORE PAGES RAAAH!!!
Charlie has been acting weird in dms lately... they're really set on this whole midvale gouger and dr. Hawk thing. It's like... the one thing they talk about.
I'm kinda over it at this point. The animal plants were really fun to read about, though!!!! I wish I had a pet like Greenie... Shame it fell out of a window :(((
