Scenario 4: SUSPICION

Introduction : Do some investigation : Tell victims : Discourage gossip : Accost her

You chose: Go after her and accost her in the hall.

You loudly tell her, "You can't just walk off.   I saw you coming out of Alex's room."  

She replies, "I was there, but not to steal his wallet.   I left him some brownies."   When you ask if she is the secret admirer, she says, "Yes.   Now are you happy?"   Two other people standing in the hall laugh, and Molly bursts into tears and runs off.

The thefts continue until the end of the semester.
