(I own only plot)


Episode Thirteen


"So, if I was a star, where would I hide?" Nina muttered to herself.

"Well, I'd probably be wherever the press couldn't see me, but it's up to you." Amber told her, distracted by her magazine. "And why didn't you tell me you planned to become a star?"

"Not that kind of star, Amber." Nina replied. "What reflects light?"

"Shiny things..." Amber told her.

"Yeah... But what kind of shiny things?" Nina questioned, thinking aloud without grasping that she was doing it.

"Mirrors?" Amber suggested. "They're shiny and reflect light."

"Yeah... That's genius, Amber!" Nina exclaimed happily.

(Time Lapse: Next evening.)

"So, Amber came up with a genius idea. We need something shiny that reflects light and she suggested a mirror." Nina smiled, showing them her mirror.

"You only have one mirror, Nina." Jerome pointed out.

"I know. That's why I'll do this." She smiled, dropping the mirror and stamping on it.

"Nina, no!" Alfie cried as the mirror shattered. "Oh, Nina, seven years bad luck!"

Nina rolled her eyes. "Alfie, I'm already cursed anyway. Seven years bad luck means nothing to me."

They each set up a shard of mirror, but the light didn't move. Patricia groaned. "Great. Genius plan: Use A Mirror failed. What now?"

"I don't know. We find something else shiny. What could it be?" Nina shrugged, confused.

Fabian was looking at the cogs on the wall that looked like the sun and moon. "Hey, guys?" He called.

Amber said "Helloooo, some of us are girls, Fabian."

He shrugged. "Not the key issue, Amber." He told her.

Patricia was the first one over there. "What is it?" She asked.

The other Sibunas gathered around. "Fabian?" Nina asked, quietly.

"It's moved. It's closer together now."

"We're wasting time. We need the reflectors now more than ever."


Episode Fourteen


(Amber and Nina's room.)

"I don't understand. Mirrors are reflectors." Amber said, confused.

"I know that and you know that, but apparently, that weird light doesn't know that." Nina told her.

Amber sighed. "Well, I'm fresh out of ideas. Has there been any note of what's happened with Trudy yet?"

Nina shrugged. Her shoulders were aching. Since being in the tunnels, she'd been shrugging a lot. "I guess not. Fabian would have mentioned it. Since the whole Rufus thingy with the barn, he's been totally obsessed with how she's doing."

"He's the geek, he should be helping us out."

"I know. But I can understand him being preoccupied and we're smart enough to do this alone, aren't we?" Nina grinned.

(Meanwhile, with Fabian)

"Seriously, come on. Miss Trudy Rehman, she's one of your patients. My godfather's with her." Fabian was frustrated with the receptionist at the hospital.

"Yeah, I know who she is. But she's only allowed one visitor and her boyfriend hasn't left her side for ages." The receptionist told him, coolly, though you could see that she was losing her temper.

"First off, he's my family and if they're as close as that, then she's family too. I have to talk to her. This is more important than you can understand."

"Sorry, son. You're going to have to go home." The receptionist told him.

Fabian was feeling able to kill when Jasper walked up. "Hey. Just going to make a phone call. Oh. Fabian, you're here."

"Jasper. How's Trudy?" Fabian asked, worried for her.

"Ah, she's great. Trying to get out of here, now. She's been trying to charm her doctor into discharging her. You'll be a welcome sight. Go straight to her, keep her company." Jasper told him.

The receptionist said "You can't send him up there. Miss Rehman is only allowed you in there."

"Ah, he's like her son. Let him go see her. She'll be pleased to know that she's got someone bothered about her. She's a people person." Jasper smiled at her.

The receptionist sighed. "Fine. But as soon as you go back, the boy must leave."

"Okay, I'll bet he can do that. Can't you, Fabian?" Jasper smiled at his godson.

"Yeah. Thanks. I owe you one." He muttered to his godfather.

"Just keep her safe. Got it?" Jasper whispered.

He nodded, then rushed to Trudy. He knocked on her door, trying to be polite. "Yeah?" The strong accent and gentle tone of the former housekeeper asked.

"It's Fabian. May I come in?"

"Yeah, come on." She sounded pleased to hear him. He walked in and she squeaked. "Hi!"

He smiled at her enthusiasm. "Hi. You look... Healthy. Happy. When will you be out?"

She smiled. "Yeah, about three days. How're you holding up? No more nasty idiots trying to kidnap you?"

"Not as of yet. I've heard that you're being a bit on the mischievous side. Trying to charm the doctor?"

"Yeah, well, it's boring in hospital. And anyway, the nurse keeps his eyes on me. Literally." She shuddered at the memory.

"Oh, I see. You seem healthy enough." Fabian told her.

"I am. Jasper just keeps saying that he'd do the same thing the doctor keeps doing and make me stay put. I'd prefer to be in his care rather than these busybodies."

Fabian smiled slightly. "Look, Trudy, when Jasper stabbed you, how come it didn't kill you?"

She laughed. "Like he's stupid. He knew what he was doing. So sweet of him. Look, love, don't you fuss over him or me. We're old enough to look after ourselves. You need to go look after you and your friends. Go on."

"Did Rufus hurt you?"

"No. Now, run and don't let Rufus get you."

(Time lapse: The tunnels)

"Okay, so, what have you worked out?" Fabian asked of Nina.

"Well, we found the mirror in the dollhouse has a falcon on it. And that leaves five other things to find. Do we have five things with falcons on?" Nina smiled at him, then remembered where he'd been. "Oh, yeah, how's Trudy?"

"Pretty good. Bored. Trying to get her doctor to discharge her." Fabian told Nina, grinning.

Amber said "Okay... And what's Jasper thinking of this?"

"He told the staff there, or she told the staff, one of them, that they're dating." Fabian answered.

Amber squealed. "OMG, they're dating! I knew it!"

Nina chuckled. "I have to room with this. They aren't dating, they said it so that Trudy wouldn't be alone."

"Still! That's cute and you know it is!" She insisted.

"Uh, guys, have you forgotten that if we don't find those reflector thingies, we're all dead?" Alfie asked, desperately.

"No. Amber has. Okay, has anyone else seen any clues as to which reflector is which?" Patricia said, curiously.

"Yeah, the dollhouse pointed us to this." Amber smiled.

"Then that's what we need here." Jerome said.

Nina nodded. "Yeah... We do. What are we waiting for, let's test this falcon!" She grinned and placed it under the beam. The light flashed past her to the next stand.

They cheered and high-fived. "Okay, the search for the falcons is on!" She smiled.
