Eden Williams, girl reporter, tapped away at the keyboard! There were only twenty minutes left until deadline, and she wasn’t going to let the murder of her editor stop the paper from coming out with the story! She had found out who had shot Malcolm Hendricks as he sat alone in his office late last week working on the final version of the Daily Mirror! It was Edwin LaCross, the rude society editor, but first she had needed to eliminate Duke Smith, the sportswriter who was angry at Malcolm for demoting him, and Malcolm’s long-lost son who hated his dad for not leaving him a gob of money!

She, Eden Williams, girl reporter, had followed each suspect until she had overheard Edwin talking on his cell phone and booking his ticket to . . . (find out later)

Eden stopped writing for a minute and looked across the library. She remembered when she had written this part of her story. Mom had kept bugging her. “Eden, open the door! I know you’re in there!” She had just torn up a Kleenex and stuffed it in her ears. She had pretended that she really was Eden Williams, girl reporter, and she had five minutes until deadline.

Anyway, she, Eden Williams, had gone through his garbage and found the gloves with the gunpowder on them!! She, Eden Williams, had notified handsome police detective Cal Dakota, who right this minute was decoding the message she had e-mailed him and would arrive to rescue her!! And she, Eden Williams, would publish the story that would bring justice to poor dead Malcolm!!

“Eden Elizabeth Williams!” Mom had hollered. “Open the door this instant. You know you’re supposed to be off the computer by nine-thirty.”

“Just a minute!” she hollered back. “It’s almost finished.”

“What’s almost finished?” Mom sounded all wigged out, as usual. “You’d better not be watching those grisly detective shows.”

She wrote as fast as she could. She was almost done.

She, Eden Williams, girl reporter, heard footsteps behind her. She quickly ran the spell-check on her article and pasted it into the front page. Then, as her finger aimed at the Enter key, she heard a sound!!!

“Hold it right there!” The silky voice of Edwin La-Cross gave a shiver up her spine!!!

“All right, young lady!” Mom had hollered. “You leave me no choice.” Then she’d heard the sound of a nail file being scratched around the doorknob. It had taken Mom about three more minutes to get in, giving her time to finish her story.

Eden, the reporter, punched down the Enter key, and just as Edwin LaCross made a dive for her computer, Cal Dakota tackled him!! The gun flew across the room!!!

“You rescued me!!!” Eden cried while running toward Cal.

Eden hugged Cal, and they kissed.

The paper ran the story the next day, and the owner liked it so much he made Eden the new editor!!! She and Cal got married!!!

The End

“What are you writing there?” Mom had wanted to know.

“Nothing,” she said.

As usual, Mom had been mad. “Get to bed, Eden.
