“Hey! Have you girls heard?”

One girl whispered to a group of girls in her classroom during recess. All the heads quickly huddled together to listen. They were very keen on learning rumors and very diligent in spreading them like wildfire. No wonder they were the hub of all kinds of fearsome or juicy rumors. No one knew how they got their information. But this was not a very good sign. Before something significant was about to happen, namely a crime, this particular hub usually became active.
