Chapter 12: Meeting with the Detectives!

A WEEK LATER!

A car with detective's McCormick and Costar drives up to the Seville's home. They both get out and walk up to the door, Costar reaches up and rings the doorbell. Dave answers the door and is shocked to see them. "Is there a problem detectives?"

"It's ok, Dave!" Simon called out from the kitchen. "I called them."

"Well, I it would have been nice to let me know." Dave complained.

"Sorry, Dave." Simon apologized. "It was sort of an emergency."

"Alright, I'll let it go this time." Dave said. He then turned back to the detectives. "It's great seeing you two again. Perhaps, if you have sometime you'd like to come by for dinner like we have been planning?"

"That sounds great, Mr. Seville." McCormick chimes. "We will certainly consider your offer very soon, we hope."

"If you follow me, detectives, I'll show you what I discovered." Simon instructed.

Dave watched the detectives as the follow Simon into the kitchen and through the door that leads down to the basement. He shakes his head for a moment then carries out in finishing up on some paper work that is for a record deal.

"So what is it you wanted to show us, Simon?" Costar asked as he sat down on the couch.

"Well, I've been going over quite a bit of information from the box I retrieved from the Island and came up with some really disturbing evidence." Simon says as he places a video in a TV/video machine he had set up on his desk. He then pushed play and stepped aside so the detectives could watch what is being played.

For a moment both detectives watched with uncertainty. Then they both gasped for air when they saw something that looked familiar and totally unexpected. "Is that where I think it is?" McCormick asked in shock.

"I'm afraid it is." Simon said with a sigh. He pressed pause on the machine after the important footage was over.

"I wonder if this the real reason why they shut it down all those years ago?" Costar asked.

"I don't know, but its cleaver that they made it into a tourist attraction. Makes a great cover up for these secret meetings they are apparently holding up here." McCormick says.

"We certainly will have to check this out. Hey, Play it again.I want to check out a few things." Said Costar.

"Sure." Simon replied. The detectives and Simon watched the tape a couple of times more and noticed more evidence as they watched it. McCormack and Costar took down notes for important things to look out for and asked for Simon's opinions on some of the things they were watching. The more they watched it, the better they could understand where they needed to go.

"Thank you for showing us this, Simon!" Costar says as he closes his small notebook and places it in his inner jacket pocket.

"Hey, after what these people did to me and my friends, it is my pleasure!" Simon adds with a grim and vengeful look on his face.

McCormick stopped and looked at Simon for a bit. She then walked up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "You take care of yourself, alright."

"I will. Thanks." Simon says. He then gives her a reassuring smile.

"Promise me you won't do anything that will endanger yourself and your family. From what Costar and I have discovered so far about these people are that they would do anything to shut you and your closest loves ones up permanently."

"Don't worry, I'll keep that in mind." Simon added in confidence. "Hay, you two take care also. Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you."

"Ok." McCormick smiled and nodded.

Simon then walks the two detectives upstairs and to the front door. He watches them as they get into their car and drive off. For some reason, Simon suddenly felt up tight in his stomach. Like something bad was going to happen. He remembered as a child he would get these feelings when Alvin was about to run off and get himself into trouble. Simon then began to worry for the detectives. He prayed that they would be ok.
