Chapter Two


Finally after a few minutes, Amy broke the silence and asked calmly, "Exactly what do you mean when you say that 'someone' knows about the Silver Five?" as she looked to where Serena, who was trying very hard to act casually, but in actuality was failing miserably. For Amy could always tell when something was bothering Serena and she could tell that this whole thing was bothering her a lot.

Serena in a whispering tone said, "Let's go to my office. We can talk there more privately," as she motioned for the others to follow her. She led them through the entranceway around the dance floor, where it led straight to a spiral staircase on the side, where they climbed the steps until they got to the second floor of the nightclub. Then they walked through the hallway towards a door that led into a spacious office. As they walked in each of them took a seat. Lita grabbed the glossy black leather armchair, while Amy, Raye, and Mina all sat down on the matching leather couch. Before going to her desk, Serena first walked towards one of the filing cabinets, where she pulled out one of the drawers and took out a folder. She then turned around and walked back to where her marmoreal muted charcoal desk was and where she immediately sat down in her seat with the folder still in her hands. After pausing for a moment, she took out the letter that was inside it, and passed it directly over to Raye. She then looked at her friends intently and said,

"In answering Amy's question, I don't know who found out about the Silver Five. Believe me I haven't told anyone about it," as she slid deeper into her bamboo wicker chair, she continued on, "When I received this I was quite shocked and I knew that you all needed to be informed, as well of what was going on. Because I haven't the faintest idea on who could be doing this to us," she said as finished off shrugging her shoulders.

Again, the silence took over, until it was interrupted by a rude snort, so at hearing that the girls looked over at Raye's direction who wore a grim look on her face.

"Well apparently this letter proves that someone knows the secret we've been keeping. The question is though, is who? Who would know about it, aside from us," commented Raye, as she passed the letter onto Amy who was sitting next to her. Lita looked from where she was sitting to where Serena was and asked, "Are you sure that no one here at the club knows Serena."

"I'm quite sure!" said, Serena emphatically. Mina with a concerned expression on her face also had to ask,

"Maybe you happened to tell someone and somebody else overheard you?"

Serena couldn't believe that her friends would even suggest that she would do something like this. Not just to them, but also to her own self, as well.

"No! That's impossible I haven't told anyone here that secret. The only person that I've ever told this secret too was to my mom and Luna." She looked at them with a serious expression on her face and continued on, "You guys all know that neither of them would ever say anything about this...ever!" Serena said, with certainty in her voice. At this, the other girls had to agree to. Besides, Serena had been right, they all knew Serena's mom and Luna. They both would never betray Serena in anyway. They all knew it.

"The question remains though and we have to find out who it was that found out and how. Because not many people know about the Silver Five," said Raye rationally.

"Yeah, Raye has a point," said Mina in agreement. At that comment, everybody just looked straight at her as if she'd grown two heads.

"Well! How many people, Luna, Serena's mom, and the five of us know the entire truth? Hmm…" she said as if trying to point out the obvious. For not many people knew the girls' secrets. Therefore, it had to be someone. The question was though, who was it? Once more, the girls became silent because they didn't know what to say. Meanwhile, Mina turned in Amy's direction and caught her reading the letter. She then jabbed her elbow into Amy's shoulder and asked curiously,

"What does the letter say Ames?"

At this moment, all the others perked up and Lita urged Amy into reading by saying,

"Yeah, Amy why don't you read it to us aloud and maybe we can figure it out piece by piece and see what it means?"

So Amy held the letter, so that she could read it and in a clear, collected voice she said,

'It says in the following letter:"

After four years of glory, how can five that shone like silver stop all of sudden without worry. Thinking that the past was dead and buried and would never come back, they know they aren't worthy of a second chance. It's a shame that five so young have give up. However, they don't know that it's time for the fun to start, or else their secret could get out. The Silver Five are alive! Once again, they'll be revived. For it's time to come out of hiding and shine bright once again.
