Hey guys! Today this author's note's gonna be brief cause' I don't have anything to say. Which is a first for me. ANYWAYS, on with the story! Told you it was short.

Previously on Sneaking Out and Suspicions…

Austin's pov.

"Now come on, we need to find Del." I say already halfway through the door.

"Okay." She follows me.

It's time to find Del-erm-Rydel, and execute phase 3. As our mission says, "Bring it on."

….

Dez's pov.

I look up at Trish. Her eyes are wide and I bet mine are too. I can't believe this. I mean, I understand they were mad but make them pay? I think that's going too far.

"I can't believe they're actually making them pay. I know they were mad, but wow." Trish says pretty much vocalizing our thoughts.

I nod, "I know. I can't believe they're doing this."

"Yeah," she responds. Then she gets a face like she's figured out everything. "Come on, freckles." She goes toward the door. I follow her out, confused.

"Where are we going, Trish?" I ask.

She smirks, "The Starr's Hotel."

But before either of us could get through the door, Austin busted in. Wait, I thought he was-what?

"Austin?" Trish asks as if he wasn't really there. But he didn't hear anything, he just kept frantically looking through the practice room.

He was muttering, "Where is it? Where is it? Where did Ally put it?" Ummm, what is 'it', exactly?

"Austin!" Trish exclaims. He looks up. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for something," he states as if it were obvious. Which it was.

Trish opened her mouth for an argument, but Lester and Penny came in before she could. Geez, just when we're about to leave this happens.

"Hey guys!" Penny Dawson greets cheerfully. Seriously? Does she not see her daughter has gone missing?

"Hey…" Trish and I greet suspiciously.

"Hey." Austin says, not really paying attention.

"Okay, let's cut to the chase. Do you guys know where Ally's been sneaking out?" Lester exasperates.

"Ally's been sneaking out?" Trish and I question in unison. What? Ok, I've been reading a dictionary. Sue me!

Penny nods, "Yup, why don't we tell you what happened last night…" She reminisces last night's memory as Austin continues to rummage through the practice room. There, two in one sentence. Bam what?! (A/N: I can't get rid of it…sorry.)

Penny's pov.

Lester and I were looking through some old bills making sure we weren't overdue, when I heard footsteps on the stairs.

I turned to find my beautiful daughter wearing a blue ball gown with sequins, four-inch heals, and a black blazer. She looked amazing, but what was it for?

"Alyssa." Her father sternly stated.

She looked at him, and I noticed she was also wearing blue eye shadow. "Yes daddy?"

"Where are you going?"

She shrugs and walks out the door without another word.

Lester starts to go after her, when I stop him. "She has her freedom Lester. She's almost 18, give her space."

He sighs and sits back down. That was when I noticed something on the floor. Right there was a silver, sharp, object. It wasn't a knife, it looked more like a hard drive.

"…and now it's on Ally's desk in her room. But that's not the point. We think it was the reason she was sneaking out. Where. Was. She. Going?" I finish, out of breath.

Trish and Dez look completely dumbfounded, as if the could not believe what I said. While Austin had his eyes wide. I thought I heard him curse under his breath, but I'm pretty sure I was imagining things.

"Anyways, do you know where she was going?" My husband questions.

"She's been sneaking out?" Trish and Dez repeat in unison. Sigh. Lester and I nod.

"I d-didn't know," Austin stutters and practically runs out of Sonic Boom. Well that was suspicious…I wonder where he was going…

"Ok, that was suspicious…I wonder where he was going…" I think aloud.

"I don't know…but I'm going to find out…" Trish says, determined.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dawson, can you do us a favor?" She continues.

We nod. She sighs in relief, "Ok, in that case, can you give us a lift to the Starr's hotel?"

(A/N: And we're back where we started…)

(A/N: Bonus! Keep reading!)

Austin's pov.

So that's where that damn hard drive went. Ally dropped it! I let myself into the Dawson household and run up the stairs to Ally's room. I quickly grab the drive and get out of the house before anyone could notice me. You see, we need this small, silver thing in my hand for our very special revenge. We want to make them pay for what they did. At all costs.

Bam what?! Sorry! I can't get rid of it! So, sorry if it annoys you. ANYWAYS, you learned a little of their plan, but not enough to give it away!
