Chapter 9: The Plan Revealed

What????

Duncan leaned back onto the wall.

What does Isabella mean of a plan???

"How many times do I have to tell you?!" Victor's voice rang. "All you have to do is make Duncan fall in love with you and make him forget Violet! So that I can easily bag Violet and get the fortune!"

Duncan peeked once more. Victor had his arms crossed in front of his chest and had an impatient expression on his face.

"And tell my why again I'm here helping you?" Isabella asked, annoyed.

"Because you're my sister and we'll share the Baudelaire fortune when I get it."

"Good reason."

Isabella giggled.

"And how are you sure Duncan likes Violet?" she asked. She leaned back on the other side of the wall.

"I know because he is Secret Admirer. Duh." Victor replied.

Duncan leaned back once more. He was getting mad. He wanted to barge up to the two so bad and beat the heck out of them. Well, to Victor that is. He couldn't possibly beat Isabella could he?

"Oh really?" Isabella replied. "So that's why you suddenly acted weird when I saw you by their table. How about Carmelita? Will she get jealous?"

Duncan's mouth dropped open.

Carmelita??? How did she get in the picture???

"Why would she? I don't like her."

"She assumes you do."

Yuck."

Duncan almost burst out laughing.

Carmelita likes Victor??? Oh man!!!

Duncan stepped back because he could no longer hold up his laughter. But he didn't notice the rake leaning back on the wall and soon he had tripped over it and it fell down on the sidewalk, making a loud noise.

"Hey what was that???" Duncan heard Victor say. He heard footsteps crunching on the grass and the noise getting nearer.

Duncan immediately scampered up and ran, hiding behind a nearby tree. He peeked and saw Victor step out of the corner and look around. He looked at the rake on the ground, shrugged, looked around once more and went back in.

"Just some cat I think." Duncan heard Victor's faint voice. He didn't hear the rest of what he said though since Duncan already ran away.

He was determined to tell Violet the truth.

The truth behind Secret Admirer's real purpose.

****************************************

Violet looked up as she heard someone running towards her direction.

"Violet!!!"

It was Duncan.

He stopped just in front of the table Violet was behind.

"Can I—wheeze—talk to you for a sec???" Duncan said, panting.

"What?" Violet asked.

"It's about Victor."

"What about him?"

Duncan paused.

"He's just.... he's just leading you on."

Violet's mouth dropped open.

"Excuse me??? What are you talking about???" she asked, infuriated. Of all the people in world, Duncan had to come to her and tell her something bad about a person. It wasn't like him. It's wasn't like him at all.

"I heard him and Isabella talking—"

"You eavesdropped????" Violet cut in once more. "Don't you know that's bad???"

"I did not eavesdrop!!!" Duncan answered back. "I simply heard them talking and by chance heard something shocking!!!"

"That is still eavesdropping!!!!"

Duncan's eyes darkened.

"Fine!!!" he said. "If you don't want to hear it suit yourself!!! It's your loss!!!"

After that Duncan stomped away. Violet's eyes followed him until he disappeared behind the big doors. She sat down and sighed. She wanted to kick herself for doing that. What if it was really that important? So important that Duncan had to eavesdrop on the two? She stood up and looked around. Victor suddenly appeared with Isabella behind him.

 "Hey Violet!!!" Victor greeted as he and his sister stepped up in front of the table.

"Err, hi Victor! Isabella!" Isabella nodded and smiled. There was something awfully weird about her smile.

Have you seen Duncan, Violet?" Isabella asked as she took her placed beside Violet.

"Oh, uh, yeah." Violet replied. "He just came here minutes ago, but left again."

"Really?" Isabella asked. "Okay then I'll go look for him. See you guys later."

She gave a small wave and soon disappeared.

"Enough about them." Victor said as he waved his hand off. "Speaking of which, what time would you like me to pick you up on Saturday?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, I'll just meet you here." Violet replied. "Is that okay?"

Victor thought for a while.

"Suits yourself."
