Although you were not the murderer, you could still be in some serious trouble here.  When you went back to the ferns to retrieve the stolen items, they were no longer there.  Both because you want your cash and because you don’t want to get caught, you’d like to know where they ended up.

In addition to your other worries, you’ll have to do your best to avoid Miss Shell.  Any secret conversations or other private moments are bound to look suspicious.  Talk to her only if it looks like you have no choice.
