Somewhere near Barden
The woman with the glasses was irritated. The two other women were late again. She began to ask herself if they were incapable of being on time.
Twenty minutes after the time their meeting was supposed to start, they came in. They didn't look guilty or sorry at all.
Impatiently she looked at them before looking at her watch. Finally the two women seemed to understand why she looked so pissed. They even had the decency to look somewhat embarrassed.
"Excuse us for being late. We had a slight obstacle that we needed to take care of" the dark skinned woman started to explain.
"Can you both just sit down, so we can start this meeting?" the woman with the glasses asked annoyed.
When the three women sat down, their meeting started.
"How are things going in the Bellas house?" she asked the newest member of their team.
"According to your schedule, things are going as you planned them. The four Bellas picked the things that were designed specifically for them. They even had to drug the redhead. And the influence of list is finally noticeable in the house. Last night Fat Amy tried to choke the Legacy. But unfortunately she was stopped by the others" the newest addition answered.
She was pleased to hear that. At least some things were going precisely as they had planned it.
"What about the obstacle you mentioned earlier?" she asked the dark skinned woman.
"Apparently Aubrey and Beca got help from Stacie. And she is way to smart. She almost found out we are behind this, so we had to take her out" the dark skinned woman said.
"Define take her out" she asked them curiously.
"We had to reveal ourselves. But don't worry. She is currently under our care, two stories below our feet" the newest addition said carefully.
"What?!"
She almost exploded after hearing those words.
"We didn't had another choice" the dark skinned woman said defensive.
After they explained to her what they found out, she could only agree with them. They had done what had to be done.
They discussed the rest of their plans before ending their meeting.
The Bellas House
Aubrey had spent the day going over the list that Stacie had left for her. The brunette had been very precisely in writing down the details. The only thing that was missing were the exact dates of every event. But she always could ask later for them.
The only thing she didn't understand was the side note that Stacie had left. Theatre + 3RD?. She didn't understand what the brunette had meant by that.
She kept thinking about it, but to the blonde, it didn't make any sense. She would ask Stacie later what she meant. Her thoughts were interrupted by Beca, who had come downstairs with a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong Beca? Is it Chloe?" the blonde asked worried.
"No its not Chloe. She is still out" the brunette said.
"What is it?" Aubrey asked again.
"Somebody is watching us" the brunette said.
"What exactly do you mean by that?" Aubrey wanted to know.
"Remember when I told you I have Emily's phone? This morning I saw that she received a new message. Saying; How did it feel to almost get choked? And it was sent last night. Shortly after it happened. But I saw it just now" Beca said.
"We need to be careful. And when Stacie gets home we need to talk" Aubrey said.
The brunette agreed with her. They talked for a while until Beca had to go.
After promising to keep an eye on Chloe, the brunette headed out the door. Aubrey wrote down the new information on Stacie's list.
After putting the list away she went to check on Chloe. The redhead woke up around noon. She didn't remember anything. When Aubrey told her what happened yesterday, the redhead was shocked. She couldn't believe that she had done something like that.
The rest of the day the two best friends spent together catching up. Chloe wanted to know what she was doing here. She had said something about missing them. She couldn't tell the redhead the truth so she remained vague.
At the end of the day all the Bellas were back in the house. Except for Stacie. Aubrey thought that was strange. According to her schedule, the brunette had finished her classes almost three hours ago. And she didn't mention having any appointments.
"Has anyone of you seen Stacie" she eventually asked the girls when they sat down for dinner.
Nobody except Ashley had seen her. But the last time time Ashley had seen her was in the morning during their shared class.
This had Aubrey worried. She was positive that something had happened to the tall brunette. The reason she believed that, was because Stacie never answered her phone.
That night the tall brunette didn't come home.
