    About this ebook

    Spill is a mystery about a town in Maryland. It was a nice place to live until the Churchills moved there.

    George and Helen Churchill adopted a little boy named Bobby. Bobby was different from the other children. Bobbys parents were shot to death, and he went to a group home until the Churchills adopted him. He was quiet and very slim in size. The glasses didnt help his appearance at all.

    The kids at school would talk about him and also made jokes about him. Sometimes Bobby would laugh right along with them so that the hurt wouldnt show on his face. But at eighteen, Bobby grew up to a handsome young man. He used contacts instead of glasses and put on weight. But he was still weird to most.

    If you like a good mystery, this is the book for you. It will have you in suspense the whole time. There were four killings in the town, and nobody knew who the killer was.

    Can you guess the killer before you get to the last page? Read and guess who did it, and enjoy!

      CHAPTER 1

      THE NIGHT IN CALLING

      Yes, I need a police at 654 north 63rd street. There has been a shooting. Please hurry.

      Everybody stand back. Stand back, yelled a policeman.

      People this is a police matter. Will you all clear the street for the police officers to do our job, shouted the policeman again.

      If I have to ask again, somebody will go to jail. Move,the policeman yelled over and over.

      Seven months later

      Bobby, the day is here. you will meet your new family today. Are you excited. Mr. and Mrs. Churchill is waiting for you as we speak. You look handsome. Okay, let’s go meet the Churchill’s, said the social worker as they walked out the door.

      This is a lovely home you have here," said the social worker.

      The social worker went on to say, Bobby Brooks meet Helen and George Churchill.

      Hello there Bobby, said Helen.

      Our home is your home. Let us show you your bedroom Bobby. said Helen.

      As Helen walked down the hallway to Bobby’s room, Helen pointed out the bathroom.

      Helen told Bobby that she tried to make it look nice and hope he liked the room.

      Bobby you can stay in your bedroom and play a little while I go back and talk to the social worker, whispered Helen. If you need me just holler.

      Helen left the room and walked down the hallway back to the living room. There in the living room stood the social worker and George. George was asking the social worker to tell him more about Bobby parents and how he feel about it.

      Well, you know that Bobby parents were shot to death about seven are eight months ago,said the social worker.

      Bobby is the only child. He was found in his bedroom closet with his head between his legs. He wasn’t crying are anything when I got to the scene. He was taking into custody. The main caseworker Mrs. Jones said that the police think it was a robbery. But I don’t know. Bobby play well with the other kids. He is very smart in school also. He hasn’t spoke about that night in calling sense it happen. But he is a very good boy. If you see are he tell you something about that night, please let me know a once. Well, it was nice meeting you both. said the social worker as she went on to say, So I guess I be going now. Oh, I didn’t tell you my name. extending her hand to Helen and then George saying, My name is Lois Turner.

      Reaching inside of her purse, she pull out a card and handed it to Helen.

      Here is my card with my cell and house phone as well as my office number. I think I hear Bobby coming. I’ll let myself out.

      Bobby played with the kids and went to school like the other kids did. He is a very bright kid when it came down in doing math. Bobby also loved to watch others people dance.

      By the time Bobby was sixteen, he was beginning to think about his parents more often. He would sat in the backyard with his head in his lap crying. When someone walk up are he hear a noise, Bobby would stop and say something got in his eyes. He even told Mrs. Turner that he wasn’t thinking about his parents and would like if everybody would shut up there mouth about his business.

      Bobby was a very skinny for his height. He wore thick glasses and the kids at school laughed at him and played jokes on him. But Bobby didn’t care about the those kids. Bobby would laugh right along with them. He even made some good jokes about them.

      The Churchill’s still love to have Bobby around. Helen loved to play games with him and have lunch with him at the country club. Bobby had everything a sixteen year old would want. Bobby drove a fire engine red with white in the inside sport car of that year. There was a pool in the backyard for him and his friends plus a basketball goal in the side yard.

      Somedays, Bobby would stay upstairs in his room just to watch the birds and listen to the singing of the birds in the tree. As he write down everything that he does since he came to live with the Churchills.

      Being eighteen now, Bobby was whole different guy. He wore contact lenses and dressed to please the ladies. He put weight on and was a very handsome guy. The kids who joked on him became his best of friends. He didn’t stay at home much, always on the go. But when he did, it was still up in his room watching the birds in the trees out the window.

      Bobby had a girlfriend but she couldn’t do what he could do. Nobody haven’t seen his girlfriend. Helen, whom he now called mama would ask him about the now and then. But he would just smile and say that her parents don’t let her go out all the time. Then the talk is over. Bobby would go into another room are just leave the house.

      One night, everybody in the house was woken up from the noise outside. The house had a red and blue flashing light in every room in the front of the house. George looked at Helen and jumped out of the bed to see if Bobby was okay. Bobby was standing in the hallway looking round when George got to him. George ask him was he okay.

      I’m okay, answered Bobby.

      What’s going on asked Bobby

      look like the police is outside, answered George.

      Bobby just stood there looking at George.

      George yelled, Come on down here.

      Bobby stood there for a second are two before walking behind George. Helen was glad to see Bobby in the same room with them. Bobby sat down on the edge of the bed.

      Whats going on mama, asked Bobby.

      George spoke out and told them both that he will be right back.

      I am going outside to see what’s going on, reply George.

      George walked down the street about a block and a half. It was very short blocks. The street was block off with yellow tape. People was standing on the sidewalk as George walked right up to an officer and ask him about what was going on.

      Do live around here, asked the Policeman.

      Yes, Yes I do, said George as he asked the police what’s going on.

      The policeman didn’t answer George back. He just walked away. A man that was standing on the sidewalk walked up to George.

      The man looked up at George with a sad look on his face, It was a killing. I mean someone died.

      What you mean killing, said George in an angry voice.

      The man looked back up at George and said, a fourteen year old girl. And people is saying the she was your son girlfriend.

      George looked at the man and then turned around so fast that the man didn’t noticed that George was gone. George was walking so fast that you might have thought that he was running.

      George ran in the house to his bedroom calling out Helen name like something have happened to her. Helen didn’t answer George until he reached the bedroom door. He was wet all across his chest. Bobby got up and helped him to the bed. George looked as those he was out of breath. George sat down on the edge of the bed to catch his breath. Then he looked right at Helen.

      Are you okay, spoke George while looking at Bobby sitting on the other side of the bed.
