CHAPTER 9
*Fabian's pov*
"FABIAN!" I hear Amber scream while I'm in my room trying to get Eddie to tell me what's going on. Eddie and I look at each other and then run out of the room and up the stairs, Alfie following close behind. We enter Amber's room to see that Patricia is there with her trying to calm her down. Amber is crying.
"Amber, what happened?" I ask.
"It's Samantha!" Amber replied. "She's the reason why Nina isn't here! She's the reason why all of her stuff was gone! She's involved!"
"Ambs," Alfie started.
"NO!" Amber screamed, "I'M TELLING YOU! SHE'S INVOLVED! FABIAN LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN HER SUITCASE!"
Then Amber handed me something that's been balled up in her fist this whole time. Nina's locket. She's right. Samantha is involved. But why didn't Eddie say anything about this? He gave me her phone, he didn't say anything about Nina not having her locket. Nina would never go anywhere without her locket, unless it was taken from her.
"Why didn't you tell me about this?" I asked Eddie.
"Fabian, I swear, I didn't know-" Eddie started.
"Woah, woah, wait. Eddie, you're involved in this too?!" Patricia asked.
*Eddie's pov*
"No," I started, "Well, yes. But it's not what you think!"
"Then what is it?!" Patricia yelled. "Where's Nina!"
"You mean she's not here?" a new voice asked.
We turned around to see Samantha standing there in a tee shirt and sweats, her hair wet.
"Why did you have this?!" Fabian asked her, holding up the locket.
Samantha looked shocked.
"Listen Fabian," she started.
"How do you know my name?" Fabian asked scared. We didn't introduce ourselves at supper, she only knows who Amber is.
"I bet she's been stalking us!" Patricia said.
"That's crazy!" Samantha stated, "Why on earth would I be stalking you?!"
"Oh, I don't know. Why on earth would you have MY GIRLFRIEND'S LOCKET?!" Fabian screamed.
"I-I just found it!" Samantha said.
"Oh yeah? And where did you 'find' it?!" I asked her.
"AT THE TRAIN STATION! AND THE ONLY REASON I PICKED IT UP IS BECAUSE NINA'S MY COUSIN AND SHE NEVER GOES ANYWHERE WITHOUT THAT NECKLACE! AND THAT'S HOW I KNOW WHO YOU ARE FABIAN! NINA TALKS ABOUT YOU NON STOP! I TOOK THE NECKLACE HERE TO GIVE IT TO HER BUT APPARENTLY SHE'S NOT HERE! SO WHERE IS SHE?! WHERE'S MY COUSIN?!" Samantha shouted.
We were all shocked by her outburst.
"L-listen, I'm sorry Samantha, I just want to find Nina too." Fabian said.
"So wait," Alfie started. "Nina was supposed to come back here this year?"
"Yeah," Samantha said. "She didn't tell any of you because she wanted it to be a surprise. Her aunt, and my mom, let her come here so I wouldn't be all alone in a new country."
Then it was silent, but not for long.
"IT'S 10 O'CLOCK. YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES PRECISELY, AND THEN I WANT TO HEAR A PIN…DROP."
~A/N: Just so you know, there probably won't be another update until Friday. :)
