Chapter 25

Almost Over

Bevin was in a room with a window so she was able to see Sophie leave. She wondered around the facility for a while looking for Dr Denman's office luckily without running into anyone. When she found Dr Denman's office she wasn't there. Bevin couldn't believe it, this was just getting too easy. Then she searched the whole office for the Bennet's real will but when she found a file with the fake one open next to a shredder she knew she was too late.

She couldn't just give up but this did mean she had to change their plan completely. But what could she do? She had no proof to involve the police and she was scared. She couldn't go get Max, Aunt Charlotte and her sisters, they were too heavily guarded. She crouched into a ball, all this was too hard for her. She knew she had to do something, this could be their only chance.

Suddenly she smelt something peachy, the peach juice. Maybe the peach juice, the drugged peach juice would be enough evidence for the police and Sophie and Dr Denman could be put away for kidnapping. She saw a mirror too so she could use that to look around corners. She saw a photo of her and Sophie at her last recital and said "I'm sorry Aunt Sophie but I have to do this".

Meanwhile Charlotte, Max and the girls were talking. Eloise asked "what if Bevin can't do it, or gets caught, or"?

Charlotte said "I don't want to think of the alternative".

Roxie looked like she was thinking hard and said "maybe there's another way, we could scare them into letting us go".

Coral asked "how"?

Roxie said "it's just an idea but pretend to be possessed by our mothers spirits".

Eloise said "what kind of scientist believes in ghosts"?

Roxie said "the same kind that believes in mermaids".

Charlotte shook her head and told them"for that to work you would need to know everything about them, stuff even Max and I don't know or would be in Lewis journal".

Max said "there's a Legend you know, most people don't know of, to bring back the spirits of Mermaids, they just need living hosts".

Charlotte said "you mean the girls" she shook her head "no, I won't allow it".

Coral said "but it might work Aunt Charlotte".

Charlotte knelt down "if something goes wrong, I'd never forgive myself. I'm your guardian, it's my job to protect you and your sisters, I love you".

Coral wrapped her arms around Charlotte as she whispered "I love you too, you're just like a mother to us, but we have to do this. Let us protect you this time".
