A Mysterious Tip(Prologue)
Soft jazz music played through the orphanage walls. Most of the kids were asleep, tucked in their beds, while Rose and Clover were busy prepping for the funeral. They were trying to figure out how they would get the funds to do the public funeral. They didn't really have much funds to being with. As they were discussing the budget, the doorbell began to ring.
"Who could that be at this hour?" Rose said.
She went up to the door and was greeted by a mysterious man with a brief case.
"Uh... Can I help you?" Rose said.
"The Lady of the Woods sends her condolences..." They said as he held out a briefcase to Rose.
Rose looked at the brief case, then back at the man.
"Don't worry, it's nothing dangerous..." He said he handed her the briefcase.
"Wait, who-!" Before she could say another word, the person had disappeared into the night.
She closed the door behind her and went down to the maintenance tunnel where Clover and the rest of the gang were.
"Who was at the door, Rose?" Clover said.
"Some guy who delivered this briefcase. Idk. It seems pretty weird and shady if ya ask me." She said.
Rose placed the case on the table as they looked at it for a moment. Wondering if it was sent by someone from the Darling family or the Silver Fang Gang. Either way, the only way they would find out is to open it. Using caution, Clover unclasped the case and slowly opened it.
Inside of it was nothing but clover shaped black and gold Confetti.
"What the glittery goofs is this? A prank? A trick?" Nellie said as she stared at the case.
Clover took a closer look at the confetti and moved it around to revealing the bottom of the case.
"So, it's just a dumb briefcase that was filled with confetti?" Rose said, sounding annoyed and confused.
"No... look closer, Rose." She said as she pointed to a button hidden inside the case.
"This briefcase has more than meets the eye." She pressed the button, and the wood covering the second layer popped open. She lifted the wood to reveal a layer of stacks of cash and a black envelope.
The whole gang was shocked by the amount that was there.
"Holy Golden Nuggets! It's a money bag!" Nelie said as her eyes shined by the amount of money that was there.
Clover looked at the envelope. It had a red heart on it, but over it was a white x. She opened the envelope and read the letter.
"Dear Miss Clover,
How did you like my gift? My condolences to you, but I always saw death as more of a celebration of life than one that's about grief and sorrow. A real shame me and my family won't be able to hear or see any of your performances for a while. I'm a huge fan, you could even say I'm an admirer of both your performances on stage and backstage if you know what I'm saying.
I hope this will cover all the funds needed to execute a lovely funeral for a heart of gold like yours. Hopefully in your next life, I will be able to meet you in person and share a duet or two with you. Don't worry about your secret too. I cross my heart that I won't tell anyone about your plan. Just know... you have someone who's got their eyes, ears, and voice around this town. You know how the saying goes...
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer..."
-Lady of the Woods
Clover had so many questions going through her head, but one thing she knew she was certain of...
There was another Family out there, but one important question stuck out above the rest of them swirling in her head...
Are they friend or foe?

Neck of the Woods song of all time it's platonic it's romantic it's about one person it's about a friend group it's about survival it's about joy it's about the utter surprise of being loved it's about love as home it's about facing the struggle and the toil and somehow it all becomes lighter because there's someone beside you. It's about grace and understanding and contentedness. the ghosts are just kids in pain. You get it.
