We regrouped with Lahela at the ice cream shop she worked at and told her about what we found. The three of us and another employee were the only ones there.

"Do you think this is Katarina's handwriting?" I asked the green-haired girl while giving her the paper.

"No, Katarina's handwriting is messier than that." Lahela replied, returning the paper back to me.

"Well that rules out the possibility of it being her handwriting." I said. "Is there anything else of importance we should know about Katarina?"

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Lahela clapped her hands together. "Katarina was an opera singer!"

"An opera singer?" Momeo raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Speaking of singers, Suliet here is a fantastic country one-"

As he said that, the employee came over to take our order.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I happen to hear that you were a singer?" The employee said.

"Huh?" I blinked at her. "Yes, that would be correct."

The employee grinned. "I'm Ankha, I love meeting singers!" Ankha continued. "Lahela had told me about how Katarina was an opera singer and I was so excited to meet her!" She sighed. "It's unfortunate that she was killed."

"Yes, it really is-ACHOO!" I sneezed.

"Suliet?" Lahela tilted her head."

"She's allergic to cat hair." Momeo said.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" Ankha said with surprise on her face. "I picked up a stray cat awhile ago and her hair must still be on me."

"Ah, that's right, you really like cats, don't you?" Lahela said. Ankha nodded.

"Yes!" Ankha's face glowed. "There's nothing more I love than cats!

I don't know how anyone could like them, but that was just me. I can't even stand near them without going into a fit of sneezing.

"Stray cat? It's been years since I've seen any of those around here." Momeo replied.

"Maybe there were some- ACHOO- cats that snuck on one of those cruise ships that- ACHOO- come here." I said, sneezing.

"Now that I think about it, I never did get your names did I?" Ankha said

"I'm Momeo and the lady beside me is my partner, Suliet." He said. "We're detectives who were hired by Lahela to help with the Katarina Elon case.

"Well it's nice to meet you detectives." Ankha replied. "How may I take your order?"

The three of us then ordered our ice cream. While Ankha gave us our ice cream, she accidentally spilled some on me and apologized. We left after we finished eating.
