Chapter 52

Cleaning up

Chloe's POV

Bang!

Shit! Lucy's here.

"Quick the t.v.!" Ruthie exclaims.

Simon quickly turns the power off.

"What about the t.v.?" Kevin asks.

"Nothing," we all reply simultaneously.

"No more secrets!" Lucy shouts.

"We thought it would be easier to talk to you if we turned off the t.v.," Mary says.

"How did you know we were coming over?" Lucy asks.

"How come you put apples in the bathroom?" Ruthie blurts out even though we had figured out that they didn't do it.

"What?" Lucy and Kevin say at the same time.

Thud.

"Ow!" someone shouts.

Uh-oh someone else tripped on the apples.

"We should have put up a note!" I say as we race up the stairs, Simon in the lead.

It was Sandy.

"Apples?" She says as Simon helps her up.

"We don't know," Simon states.

"Good morning. What's going on?" Carlos says, suddenly appearing.

"Apples," Mary replies.

"And oranges," Lucy adds.

"Sorry, Luce we thought it was you," Ruthie explains.

"Yeah, sorry," I add.

"I think we should clean them up," Ruthie says.

"Or at least put a sign on the door," I add.

"What are we going to do with all of the apples?" Kevin asks.

"Keep them for revenge once we find out who did it," I reply.

Mary as usual was being weird and said, "Wait, I need a picture!"

We decided to put the apples in garbage bags and the garbage bags in the garage.

On one trip to the garage we ran into Matt and Sarah.

"What's with the garbage bags?" Sarah asks.

"Nothing," Carlos, Mary, Lucy, Kevin, Simon, Sandy, Ruthie, and I reply concurrently.

"Mary," Matt says suspiciously.

"Why do you always think it's me?" Mary replies innocently.

"Because you're the one always coming up with wacky plans."

"It wasn't me."

"If we tell you what we're doing, will you help us?" I say, interrupting their argument. I had decided to use it to our advantage.

"What did you get yourselves into this time?" Matt asks me and Ruthie.

"Will you help us, or not?" Ruthie smoothly answers.

"I'm in," Sarah says.

"But you don't even know what they've done," Matt states.

Sarah shrugs her shoulders.

"Well are you going to tell me?" Matt demands.

"Not until you promise to help," Mary answers.

"So you are in on this," Matt says.

"Sort of," Mary admits.

"So are you in?" Simon asks.

"Fine," Matt agrees.

Ruthie and I explained what happened.

"How much more do you have to go?" Matt asks after he glanced at the many garbage bags on the floor of the garage.

"You'd be surprised," Sandy says.

"I think Sarah, and Lucy should sit this one out," Matt suggests.

"Good idea," we all agree.

All of us, except Lucy and Sarah, returned to the bathroom to clear more apples.

"What's this?" Mary asks as she sifts through some apples. She comes up with a piece of paper.

That's strange.
