What Happens To Them?
By Anna Morgan
Day three 4:00 pm
"Laura! Natalie is on the phone!"
Laura came out of her room and towards her mother, holding the phone. She had been watching TV and doing a little homework while waiting for a call. She, Natalie, and James had this planned; James would call Natalie, Natalie would call Laura, and Laura would call James. Laura picked up the phone and talked to Natalie.
"Hey, Laura."
"Hey. Is James allowed to come to my house?" Laura asked.
"His parents said yes. I'm allowed to come at 5:00, so, I'm going to be a little late." Natalie replied.
"Okay," Laura began, "I left the you-know-what at James' house yesterday, so I have to call him and tell him to bring it over."
"What if your parents find the tape? What if they want to see it?" Natalie said with worry.
Laura had thought about this. "It's a school project."
"That's Cheesy, Laur." Natalie said.
"Well it's the best I could think of," Laura answered. "I have to call him. See you at 5:00."
"Bye Laura."
"Bye."
Laura hung up the phone, and then picked it up again to call James. It was he who answered the phone.
"Hey James," Laura said.
James replied, "Hey Laur, I'm allowed to come over if Nat didn't tell you. I'll be over in about 15 minutes."
"Okay," Laura said. "I left the tape over there the other day, could you bring it over for me?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, by the way, we have to watch Aiden again tonight, so just to warn you." Laura told him.
"Ok, we could ask Rachel about the tape." James said slowly.
"Yeah. I got to go James. See you in a few minutes."
"Bye Laura."
"Bye."

6:00 pm
"I don't want to go to Aiden's house, that kid scares me now."
Natalie had just finished with her Algebra homework and slammed her book down, causing James and Laura to jump. They had talked about what they would say to Rachel and they wanted to get answers from her.
"I told her I would watch Aiden, we have to go," Laura explained. "And we might be able to talk to Rachel if she's there about the tape."
So, they packed up their stuff and went to Rachel's apartment. Laura knocked on the door and Rachel answered the door.
"Hi Laur, James, Natalie." Rachel said.
"Hi Rachel."
"Laura, could you make sure Aiden is in bed at 9:00 tonight?" Rachel asked. "I won't be home for a while, yet, and I want Aiden to be in bed."
"Sure."
"Also, Laur, if Aiden gets hungry later, there's a snack for him," Rachel added
James nudged her with his elbow to tell her to ask Rachel about the tape. Laura turned around and gave him a look.
"Well, I'll see you later, if you have any problems, call me up. I'll be at the office." Rachel said. She turned around to Aiden. "Behave, Aiden, I'll see you when I get home."
Aiden answered, "Bye Rachel."
Laura opened her mouth to talk, but Rachel was out the door. They had missed their chance.
"So what's up Aiden," James said.
"Nothing," Aiden answered. He was currently was drawing a picture. It was of a house, with black shutters and a little girl on a swing. 'Must be a girl from school,' Laura thought.
"Hey Aiden, what you drawing?" Natalie asked. "Is it a girl from school or something?"
"No." Aiden never replied very much. And what he did say was usually short.
"Hey, Laura, I'm going to go to the restroom, I'll be right back," James said.
James went towards the restroom, but, instead, went into Rachel's room. He thought maybe if Rachel knew something about the tape, he might find out by going into her room and looking around. He looked under the bed and in the closet and found nothing. But, when he looked in the nightstand, he found a stack of papers. They were old newspaper articles.

9:45 pm
"Oh my gosh, that's Katie Embry, Rachel's niece." Laura said. "I didn't know she lost her niece, too."
"That's really sad, losing your boyfriend and your niece, too." Natalie said, shaking her head.
Looking through the papers, they found other things. They found pictures of Katie and three other people at a cabin. Katie was standing in front of a sign saying 'Shelter Mountain Inn'. In more newspaper articles, they found Katie's picture, along with three others: Josh Turndot, Stacy Owens, and Scott Connery. One thing that she noticed was that all four of them were not only in the pictures together, but also, they had all died at about 10:00 pm.
"Do you think she would miss these for a while?" Natalie said in a mischievous voice.
"I don't think so," James replied in the same tone.
