THE AFFAIR OF THE NECKLACE

CHAPTER FIVE

Rebecca awoke to the sounds of the waking city. Opening her eyes, she saw the faint rays of sunlight seep through the windows. Raising herself on one elbow, she looked around the room, looking from the windows to the door. She was startled when she saw Christopher lying on another bed, snoring lightly. Confusion was erased from her mind as she recalled the events that had happened the day before…

flashback

They drove away from the museum with their nemesis running after them.

"Good thing, this ol' thing here is a good one," Jonathan said, referring to the car. As soon as the words left his mouth, the engine sputtered, then died down. They looked at each other and Rick groaned, "Leave it to Jonathan to jinx us."

Jonathan stammered out a reply but he was cut off when Evy told them to get out of the car. They ran around for a while until Nick saw a car with the unsuspecting owner talking to a shop owner.

Rick quickly went in the car and the others quietly followed suit. The engine sputtered to life and they roared away while the owner shouting angrily at them. They turned around the corner and saw that their enemies saw them.

Rick drove all around the city, trying to avoid them; however, Nikita, the driver of the other car was a good one. She was able to follow them and managed to stay in their tails. With bullets, coming past them and arrows, they managed to evade them. This was because of a camel that immediately came in front of Nikita's car and she was unable to capture them. She stopped, waving her fist in the air as she threatened them.

"You can't hide from me! I will hunt you down and I will get my revenge! Remember that!," she repeated until the others were out of hearing range.

Jonathan commented, "Boy, she sure has a healthy set of lungs."

The others looked at him, thinking that he had gone crazy. He looked back at them and said, frowning, "What?"

The others sighed knowing that Jonathan would never change.

Chris then looked at Allison, clearly looking for an explanation.

Allison looked at him, obviously not in a good mood with her bleeding head and awkward position in the car.

"What, we don't know them, okay? I just know that they want the freaking bracelet that we have."

Chris opened his mouth to say something else, but Nick stopped him with a glare. Chris gave up with a sigh and the ride became silent throughout.

Evy asked Rebecca what hotel they were staying in and she told them. They stopped by, but then, Rick saw that their enemies were guarding the front door of the hotel.

They groaned.

"Oh no," Allison said, obviously tired and fed up with their enemies. "Now what do we do?"

"I know," Nick said, concerning marring his features as he saw that Allison was becoming very dizzy indeed. "We will sneak through the back door. Give us your key and the number of you room and we will get your things."

Evy agreed, "Yes, you can stay at our hotel. We can check you in there. I'm sure it would be no problem, right Rick?" she asked her husband who was scowling at the plan that Nick formulated. His eyes softened however when Evy looked at him.

"Yes, I'm sure Evy. Come on then, let's get going," he said, driving the car on the corner. "Just stay here okay and do not followed us," he said, saying the last part at his wife. Evy looked at him innocently and smiled. Rick growled and gestured at the men to follow him. Jonathan, however and Alex remained in the car with the women.

They waited for a few minutes when they heard shouts coming from the hotel. They started to go out of the car when the men came rounding up around the corner. They were holding the 'heavy' luggages of the women.

"Quick!" Chris cried out as he jumped on the automobile with the other coming in too. They ran away again but this time their opponents didn't come after them.

"Phew at last they didn't follow us. Good thing that thi-" Jonathan started to say but was cut of by Nick.

"Just shut up , Jonathan,"

Jonathan complied and was silent throughout the trip.

They soon reached the hotel and Evy checked them in while the others got out of the car and carried their luggage. Getting out of the car, Rebecca and Allison collapsed, their body not used to all these excitement. They were caught by Nock and Chris and they were carried inside the hotel lobby much to their amazement. They didn't let go when the women protested, embarrassed by this action. They were seated on the chairs in the lobby and waited until they finished checking in.

After checking them in, Evy gave them their respective keys and their rooms. Her eyes were glinting slyly although this wasn't noticed by the others except her husband. He knew that she was up to something.

"Here are your keys, Allison," she said, giving Allison her key. "I think it would be better if Nick stayed in your room. Rebecca couldn't possibly take care of you with her condition." Allison looked like she was going to protest but she was stopped by Evy's glare. "And you, Rebecca, Chris will stay with you."

Rebecca barely heard her because she was slowly giving in to sleep. Chris shook his head and carried her to their room. Nick did the same to Allison, not putting her down amidst her protests. Jonathan and the others followed suit. Since it was already becoming dark, they went into their rooms and they would order their food in their rooms instead. In their respective rooms, they ate and freshened up. Nick bandaged Allison's wound and after, she immediately slept. Chris did the same with Rebecca and they all slept.

She sighed, knowing that many problems would arise now. She looked suddenly on her right thigh as pain shook her entire body. She realized that her wound was not that deep but it was deep enough to send tremors of pain on her body. Looking again at her surroundings she noticed a mahogany chest with intricate designs. Beside it was a door, which she knew connected to the washroom. A mirror was on the wall above an oak desk. There were two chairs inside the room. One was strewn with clothes that were seemingly, just by looking at it at a glance, dirty and belonged to man, considerably Christopher. The other chair was filled with bags. Slowly swinging her legs to the side of the bed so as not to open her wound, she slowly walked to the washroom. On the way, she took her grooming kit and some of her clothes, doing all these quietly so that Christopher would not be awakened.

'He looks tired,' she mused as she soaked in the tub. 'I would have to thank him and apologize for what happened yesterday.' She sighed.

Finishing her bath, she replaced the bandages on her thigh, wincing slightly at the pain and got dressed. A rush of adrenaline rushed through her and she couldn't wait to explore the bazaars outside the hotel.

'I wonder if Allison is awake. We should go together. But then again, she might not come because of her injury, but knowing her, even wild horses couldn't stop her once she decides to do something,' her thoughts rushed, causing her to smile inwardly as her friend's determination as she opened the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the other room across the hall, Allison was already awake. She awoke to an undeniably loud snore coming on her left. She looked at her left and was startled for a moment at her companion's state. Nick was sprawled on his bed, his right leg, touching the floor. He did not even bother to change his clothes. His dirty shirt was open at his chest, allowing Allison the luxury to look at his muscles. She stared and was taken aback when her interest grunted in his sleep. She looked up from his chest and begun to blush.

'Naughty Allison. Staring! What would your father do now if he saw you? He would be turning from his grave! (if there was one)' Allison thought, cringing slightly at the thought and at the same time amused.

Raised by her father, she was slightly manly. Her father raised her trying to teach her how to be lady but failed. Allison smiled as she reminisced on those times.

She was taken back to reality as she heard noises coming from outside the hotel. The bazaars were setting up and starting to prepare for another busy and chaotic day. Allison slowly rose up on her feet, stopping suddenly as she felt a wave of dizziness sweep through her. She stayed still for a moment, and the dizziness stopped. Holding up her hand on her head, she walked over to the washroom to clean herself up. Her wound on her head was not deep but it would leave a tiny scar on her left temple. After cleaning up, she went back to the room and looked about her. The room was very much alike to Rebecca's room. She looked around at the right side and saw pieces of clothing strewn about just like the man on the bed. Sighing inwardly, she bent and picked up the clothes and put it on top of her already made bed. Looking at her watch, seeing that it was near seven o'clock, she decided to go outside for a while. She couldn't stand being in this room because it smothered her and her mind.

"I sure hope Rebecca is awake. I would like to have some company but her wound might tire her out." She shrugged and went outside. She was startled as someone across from her was also doing the same thing. Both of them looked up at once and smiled at each other.

"Are you sure you can walk outside?" Allison asked Rebecca, concern shown on her pretty face

"I can, but I have to slow down. It hurts and it might open the wound," the other woman replied. She looked pointedly at Allison's bandaged temple.

Knowing what that meant, Allison laughed. "Don't worry about me. I have a hard head you know. Besides you're in a worse condition than I am."

Rebecca laughed as Allison said that she had a hard head.

Eyes raised, Allison looked stern but inside she felt glad. It was good to laugh when one was in a bad condition.

"Come on, let's go," Allison said, already walking towards the elevator. She suddenly stopped and turned to face Rebecca. "Did you bring the bracelet?"

"Yes, it's in here. I won't leave it again after what happened yesterday," she grimly answered.

Allison nodded in agreement and continued to walk
