"This is Debbie's room and we brought you here so maybe you might find something that will help you in your investigations." Debbie's father said.

"Yeah, thanks for your cooperation really and I'm sorry about the death of your daughter. We are trying to get to the bottom of all of this and I believe once all the loose ends gets tied, the killer will will be brought to book." He paused, then continued "ma'am, I know this is going to be difficult for you but we need your precise answers." Debbie's mother nodded, blinking off a drop of tears. "On the day she died, where did she say she was going?" Tony asked.

"She said she was attending birthday party of a friend. I didn't want her to go initially but she begged me and allowed her telling her not to get back later than 8pm." Her father said.

Tony jotted down something in his small notebook. "That friend of hers, were they close? Did you know her very well?"

"Not really. All we know is they're school mates. She's pretty selective when it comes to moving with people. She has only four friends, one of them who was killed the second day Debbie died. One died last month too. Only two of her close friends are alive," Debbie's mother said.

Tony kept jotting in his notebook. "You saud one of them died last month. What killed her?" Tony asked.

"Nobody knows. Everyone assumed it was natural," Debbie's father responded.

"Okay. Recently did you hear about any of the girls picking a quarrel with anybody? Maybe a cultist or did her normal behaviour or mood change of late?"

"None that I heard of. They are in a private school and the chances of survival for cultists is pretty slim. But you know youths, you never can guess what's going on with them except they open up. Though Debbie and her friends formed this silly group. DIVAS they called themselves. Sure there'll be other groups like that on campus. Maybe they're in a quarrel with other groups, she never talked about it. We need you to help us please." Debbie's father said.

Tony's brain was working "And you say three of the girls in this group are dead?"

"Yes."

"What are the names of the remaining two?" Tony asked.

"Victoria and Sade," Debbie's mother said. "Its like someone is out to wipe out the group.

"It appears so. Do you have any idea how I can get to them?" Tony asked.

"Yes," Debbies father reached into a bedside drawer and brought out a small book. "Here, she kept all her phone numbers and addresses here."

"Thanks," Tony said as he took the address book.

"Did she have a boyfriend or any boy close to her?"

"I don't know. Its not as if she could have introduced her boyfriend to us. Only her friends can answer that question." Debbie's father said.

"Who's that boy that tried to get out the other time I came in?"

"He's a close friend of hers. They used to be close until months back when he stopped visiting." Debbie's mother said.

"Her boyfriend? Did you ask her why he stopped visiting?"

"Yes and she said nothing. She said if he ever has something he needs from her, he'd visit." Debbie's mother said.

"Okay," Tony said getting up from the arm-chair on which he sat. "Does she have any siblings?" He asked. Not for the sake of the investigation but for the fact that Debbie's parents were fairly old, he wanted to know if there were other children.

"Yes, three others, they're in the states. She's meant to join them next year after her graduation." Debbie's mother said and burst into tears.

"Tony placed a hand on her shoulder. Its okay madam. Take heart. We'll find the killer. That will be all for now sir,"

"Thanks a lot." Debbie's father said at the brink of bursting into tears as well. He followed Tony out of the room into the living room where everybody seated kept staring at Tony. Tony got out into his car and drove off. He knew where next to go.
