"Do you guys have enough food left for me?"
They didn't expect Beca's twelve year old stepsister asking that. Hell, they didn't expect to see her in the Bellas house.
"Ella? What are you doing here?" Beca asked her stepsister.
"Uh, Lilly said I should pay you a visit. And that you and Aubrey should bring me home" the twelve year old said confused.
The two older women looked at each other while Ella sat down. They both thought the same. Apparently it had something to do with their plan.
Chloe filled a plate for the girl and put it in front of her. They resumed dinner and kept the conversation light. They didn't want Ella to know things weren't quite alright in the Bellas house.
After dinner the three of them went on their way to Ella's house. After they dropped her off the child said that they should pay a visit to the theatre.
Curious they headed towards the theatre. They were more than surprised to see Stacie waiting for them. She was filing her nails like she didn't disappeared for days.
"Stacie, are you okay?" Beca wanted to know after she hugged the girl.
"I'm fine. But we better get inside" the tall brunette responded.
They followed her inside the theatre and weren't surprise that they went to the same room where they spoke to Denise a few days earlier.
This time Denise wasn't there, but Lilly was. The Asian girl was doing something on her laptop so the three of them sat down. Beca wanted to thank Lilly for bringing Stacie back, but she didn't get the chance to do so.
"Any idea why I ask you to come here?" Lilly asked them suddenly.
"Not really" Beca said.
"I think I do know" Aubrey said.
"They are spying on us in the Bellas house, aren't they?" the blonde asked.
The past few days Aubrey had thought about how the Three Red Dots seemed to know everything that happened. Denise had told them something similar. Aubrey had put two and two together. She hadn't known for sure, but when Ella had told them to go to the theatre she knew it.
"Correct. While I went to get Stacie, I took the opportunity to investigate the building. And I found some interesting things" Lilly said.
She turned her laptop around so they could see where Lilly had been looking at the entire time. They were shocked and nowhere near prepared to see where they were confronted with.
On the laptop they saw a room full of pictures of Aubrey. It looked like someone build a shrine of the blonde. But this wasn't a shrine of admiration. Each picture showed another creative way of how they wanted to torture Aubrey. The pictures seemed like they came straight from a horror movie.
The blonde almost vomited when she saw the pictures of herself. They were horrible. Only people with sick minds could think of such ways to torture people. The blonde had been hard when she was the captain of the Bellas, but she didn't deserve this.
Lilly gave them some time to recover from what she had showed them. They just came to the realisation they dealt with psychopaths. Until now they had thought the Three Red Dots were playing some sort of sick game. But the pictures showed them they were serious.
"Beca how far are you willing to go to protect Aubrey and the rest of the Bellas?" Lilly asked.
The way Lilly asked the question sent shivers down the tiny brunettes spine.
"I will do everything that's necessary" she answered simply.
"Good" the Asian girl said.
The Asian girl explained how she found out that the Three Red Dots were awfully good at predicting which Bella would be the next victim of the list. And how they designed each and every number for a specific Bella.
"First of all, Stacie can't go back to the Bellas house, and you can't tell that you know about her whereabouts. Then they will know that we know. But I've took care of that" the quiet girl said.
The next forty minutes they talked about the ingenious plan that Lilly had came up with. She figured out that Cynthia Rose was the next victim, but she didn't know when it would happen. So the three of them had to keep an eye on the black Bella.
After they all knew what role they had, Beca and Aubrey said goodbye to Stacie before heading back to the Bellas house. Lilly would take Stacie to her new hide out before coming to the Bellas house as well.
Somewhere near Barden
The dark skinned woman was panicking. As usual she went to the building to bring the brunette her food for the day. But the tall brunette was nowhere to be found.
Did one of the other woman brought her somewhere else?
She didn't think so. They would've told her if they did. Or wouldn't they?
She needed to notify her companions of the missing brunette. She already dreaded to do so. The woman with the glasses would be furious. She wasn't happy in the first place when they told her they had a hostage.
She hadn't a choice. Their whole operation could be in danger if the brunette walked around freely.
She sighed deeply before she grabbed her phone. She quickly typed out a message and send it to her two companions.
Emergency meeting. ASAP!
All she could do now was wait for the others to show up. She hoped the woman with the glasses knew what to do to prevent any more damage.
