Simon quietly shut the front door and turned around to start heading for
the stairs in the kitchen. When he turned around he ran into Matt. He had
stayed the night since all the girls were gone. Plus, all the kids wanted
to have a sleepover party in the twin's room, and Wilson, Simon, and Eric
couldn't do it alone.
"Woah, sorry" Simon stammered, "What are you doing up so early?"
"It's almost 9:30 to me," Matt responded, "and I should ask you the same question"
"Oh, uh, I slept down here and I was going to go back to sleep in my own bed"
"Why did you sleep down here?" Matt asked.
"Well I fell asleep on the couch." He said nodding
Matt looked into the living room and there was a pillow and blankets on the couch. "Then why the blanket and pillow?" he asked folding his arms. It was extremely obvious that he was hiding something. Camden men weren't wonderful liars.
"Well," Simon stuttered, "there was a movie on, so I thought I'd make myself comfortable in case I did fall asleep"
Matt looked at him as if to say, "I know you're lying"
"Well I guess better get back to bed" Simon said darting up the stairs almost knocking over Wilson.
"What was that all about?" Wilson asked Matt, carrying Angie into the kitchen, "You guys are up early"
"Well its not that early to me," Matt said, "What about you?"
"This one is hungry" Wilson said pointing to Angie.
"I don't know Simon's excuse though." Matt said, "Did you know he slept on the couch?"
"No," Wilson responded, "Why did he do that?" he asked getting a bottle out of the fridge.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out," Matt said.
Just then, Eric headed down the stairs to find Matt leaning against the counter, and Wilson feeding Angie at the table.
"Sorry," Wilson said. "Did we wake you up?"
"No," Eric shook his head, "the kids did, they're all up you know"
"I'll go take care of it," Wilson said putting the bottle on the table.
"Here," Eric said holding his arms out, "give me the baby"
"Thanks," Wilson said heading up he stairs.
"So, I saw Simon up," he told Matt, "what was that all about?"
Matt shook his head, "I have no idea, but he looks really guilty"
Reverend Camden sighed, "So you want me to interrogate him first or you?"
"I'll do it" Matt said heading up the stairs.

Mary, Lucy, Sarah and Tristan stood around the kitchen talking when all of the boys walked in.
"You guys ready to go?" Kevin asked.
All of the couples were going out for one kid-less, parent-less night. Plus Annie wanted to spend time with her grandkids while they were all still in one place.
"I think so," Lucy said looking around.
"Hold on," Tristan said, " I need my cell phone, my mom is supposed to call me and tell me what time they're getting in tomorrow"
"I think it's on my bed," Simon said, "You dumped all of your junk out when you changed purses. I'll go get it."
"No its ok" she said, "I'll be right back," she told them heading up the stairs.

When Tristan reached Simon's room she started searching the bed. On top of the comforter were gum wrappers, receipts, lip-gloss . . . but no phone. She started lifting up the covers in search of it. She found it close to the pillow, but as she went to put the covers back down something else caught her eye . . .

Sorry this was so unbelievably short, but I decided to separate this and the next chapter into 2 different ones. Seeing as the next three chapters are done, I will update very soon!
Yay for reviews!
