Part 1: A Stinky Situation
It used to only be weekends where any mysteries would come in. However my good friend Ashley, came asking for help one day during class. “Carly, someone has been stealing all of the cheerleaders socks during our practices.”
This was an interesting case, why would somebody steal a bunch of socks, stinky cheerleaders socks to make things weirder. I agreed to help and after school headed down to the gym.
The cheer team was gathered around. “When were the socks stolen ?” I asked. Almost all of them said “Sometime after practice yesterday.” A junior, Kelly added. “Me, Jackie, and Angie came down earlier during gym class and noticed all of our socks where gone, which was odd considering no one was allowed in the gym after practice until next morning.”
I needed to find a motive, or even a clue as to why someone would want to the steal the socks. So I began to ask the cheerleaders about happened during yesterday’s practice.
Jackie was the first I questioned. This was her story:
“I remember entering the locker room before I was about to head home. I put my uniform in my locker, and my socks in the laundry bin. When I left I heard a bit of a conversation.”
I was intrigued and asked her to relay the conversation. She elaborated “It something along the lines of “No one would suspect a thing, I mean who would notice ?” She added “I couldn’t recall who said it, but I know it came from the third row of lockers.” I responded “Do you know who has a locker in that row ?”
Jackie confirmed and listed Riley, Jill, and Kendra. I interview Riley who said she left early as she felt sick. Jill said “I was in a rush to leave and didn’t hear anything before I left.”
Kendra offered a bit of evidence as she told me. “I entered the locker room and saw Jackie taking a whiff of her socks for a moment. I don’t think she saw me, but I’m confident she’s the thief.”
The questions with the other girls really didn’t unearth anything. But I had three suspects: Jackie, Jill, and Kendra.
After practice I decided to host a little sting operation. I told Ashley and Kelly, who agreed to stay later and help catch the thief.
Practice ended at 5pm, but the school had a choir concert tonight so it would still be open, which meant I was lockers weren’t closed off yet. I hid behind laundry bin, which all together was a pretty bad idea considering the smell, but I was determined in finding out who committed the crime.
I heard someone enter the locker room, I remained behind the bin. Their footsteps were very soft, almost like they were barefoot or in socks. I glance up to see nobody there, I snuck out and took a look around the lockers. No one, I was about to return back to the bin, until somebody came up from behind me.
They grabbed my hands and began to tie them with nylon rope. I desperately tried to turn around and look but soon I was blinded with a thick blue covering, I realized it was one of the cheerleader’s socks.
The assailant sat me on the cold floor and secured my legs with more rope. “Who are you ?” I asked. The figure didn’t respond. “Why are you stealing socks from the cheerleaders ?” Again no response.
I felt them tugging at my UGG Boots. “Hey, don’t take off my boots ?!” I shouted, struggling at my binds. They removed my boots revealing my bare feet. Yes I know wearing uggs without socks is weird, but I wasn’t really anticipating someone to remove my boots today.
Suddenly there was a something between my toes, I felt a whiff. This person was smelling my sweaty feet. This must be the reason they were stealing socks. They like the smell.
The figure smelled both of my feet for a solid five minutes before a foul smell reached my nose. Than the familiar feel of socks covered my nose, they had the audacity to put their stinky socks over my nose. I was disgusted and recoiled at the scent. It was a unique smell that of moldy cheese and strawberry lotion, the two didn’t mix.
Soon, I was lifted up by the figure, and I laid flat with my feet hanging out of something. The smell kicked in and I realized she put me in the bin full of dirty socks.
I yelled for three minutes, hoping to be heard. Thankfully I heard the voices of Ashley and Kelly asking if I was ok. They found me in the bin and helped untie me.
“Did you know who did this ?” Kelly asked. I shook my head. “No they blindfolded me, but I know the motive, they like the scent of the socks.” Both were disgusted but asked how I knew. I told them which made them cringe as well.
Now many would consider this a defeat, but I had a new process of finding out who did it. I was nasty but it’s the only way to get to the bottom of this. I have to smell each cheerleaders feet to determine who did it.
