Christmas Crime Mystery

    Many Centuries ago, on December 19, 1720, there was baker named Stacy De Novo who lived in Hopewell, Hanover. She was well known to the public and every day Stacy would sell her famous Apple Pie especially on Christmas. The name of the bakery is “The Best Dressed Bakery” .The bakery normally opens at 5am – 6pm. Every morning in the bakery the first thing that would run out was the Apple Pie. Customer 1(Fallon Lauren) asked “Why does your pie taste so good, What is your secret recipe?’’ Stacy replied “I can’t tell you it is a family secret. Two days after the secret formula for the Apple Pie went missing. “Who could have taken it?” She asked. Stacy and her employees went to the camera room to rewind the camera to see who could do such thing. When the camera was rewind they could not see who broke in to the bakery. So she had assumed that it was one of the security guards who guarded the bakery at nights running a joke.

         Stacy gathered all the securities for a meeting in the meeting room. She asked “who was here last night, and why there was no record of what happened last night?” Mick replied “we did see a strange security yesterday.” Matthew continued Mick reply “She did say she was going to check if the formula is there, we never heard from her again.” “What is the name of this security that went to check the formula?” Stacy asked. Kendra commented “Moon/Fallon.” That is one of my favorite customer name. Eclipsa answered “really she is the manager for the company named Night Owl Services which works for Rafaela Bakery, your competition. Stacy was frightened she fainted. She woke up the next morning, took a shower, and put on her clothes and went over to Rafaela Bakery. When she arrived she was not able to get in because it was closed. So Stacy went to her bakery to call an old friend Agent Nowhere. Miss Nowhere came in two minute flat. “That was quick!” said Stacy. Ms Nowhere went undercover pretending to be a security for Night Owl Services. Rafaela and Fallon was having a meeting with the securities to congratulate the victory of stealing Rafaela twin sister secret formula. Nowhere muttered “TWIN SISTER” She then ask the boss to use the rest room. She then took that advantage to get to the car and drove 2 miles to tell Stacy what she heard. When she arrived she ask to see Stacy. Stacy answered with joy “Yes Dear.”

      “You are related to Rafaela?” said Agent Nowhere. Stacy answered quickly saying “no!!” Ms. Nowhere told her the truth “Yes, you are [On December 12, 1790 Alexis had twins Stacy and Rafaela Carrington. She gave your father Rafaela to take care of and return her when she is 5 years old. Blake did not carry Rafaela back instead he sold her to man name Sam Flores; And that is why Rafaela last name is Flores.” Stacy said angrily “It is 3 days before Christmas and I need to prepare my special apple pie from Christmas Eve. I am asking that get police or whatever and get back my formula.”

        The next day, Rafaela came over to Stacy’s Bakery making a deal. “I will give you the formula, if you free Blake Carrington my real father.” she said. Her sister replied “he was placed in there for a reason he abused his own wife, killed his second wife and poison his children against their own mother.” After what Stacy said to Rafaela the deal was still up. So Stacy went to Alexis asking her “why did you give up my twin sister, to father” Alexis replied “ I am so sorry you found out in that way, it was the only way to save her.” Alexis was a great mom but she made a decision to save her daughters life. Two days after the twins were to be born a man came to her and said “ I shall take the child away from you or send him/her to their father.” That is why she sent away Rafaela. It was 1 day before Christmas Eve. Stacy had no choice but to set her father free from prison. Stacy got the formula back but instead of rejoicing Blake decided to go kill Alexis once and for all. Rafaela rejected from helping him killing her own mother, Blake reacted by pushing her over the gully. Stacy ran down to gully to see if she survived the fall. “Yes, she survived it!!” Stacy rejoices. Ms. Nowhere came out of nowhere on a spy plane caring them to America to Carrington Estate where Alexis lived. They arrived 2 hours before him and had a plan in place. They had a fake Alexis sleeping in her bed, which took them half an hour to do. When her husband came in and pull the sheet of off her Blake realized that it was a fake. He   ran to his room where Ms. Nowhere knocked him out with a frying pan. Blake woke up in prison beside his brother Vandal Savage which helps Blake accomplish his plan. Stacy had to return back to Jamaica to start baking her famous tamales, donuts, cakes, banana bread, and the important one Apple Pie.  

       They have arrived in Jamaica at Sangster’s International Airport. There was a taxi man outside he drove as fast as he can to reach down to the bakery in Hopewell. In the meantime Rafaela ask for Stacy’s forgiveness. Stacy replied “yes I forgive you.” “Thank you!’’ replied the other twin. “oh, I think its now a good time to tell my twin sister the family secret.” “its love and hope” she whispered. They arrived at the bakery it was 2 hours before Christmas the day was December 24, 1720. Rafaela decided to help with the baking and then in the two hours that they had finished the baking. They were a sleep in the shop when they heard bang! Bang! On the door. It was the customers “we want cake!!!!! .” They opened the bakery and sold off every cake and pastries in the shop. This is a lesson that will teach you “Don’t judge anyone and be loving and careful to persons in your family.”
