"Hello?" Katie twirled her hair around her finger as she reviewed the data on her computer screen.
"Katie? This is Darien."
"Oh, Hey man, whaz up?" Katie switched the phone to the other ear, and shut down the Document she was looking at.
"I found something, maybe you should take a look at. Do you think you can come over?" Darien sound almost monotone.
"Sure, Darien. But first what did you find?" Curiously she leaned back in her computer chair, and popped a lemon head in her mouth.
"Look, I can't explain it to you. Just… come over… please?" he sounded urgent now.
"Sure. Okay, I'll be over in-CLICK-minute…." Katie looked at the phone. Darien had never hung up on her before. "I guess it must be really important." Katie shrugged it off.
(A couple Minutes later….)
Katie pressed the lock button on her Jeep door, closed it, and strode up to the driveway to the door of an off white house with green trimmings.
Knocking on the door, Katie noticed that Darien's window was closed, when it's usually open… and that the basketball hoop in the front had the basket ball stuck in the hoop.
The door opened and startled Katie. It was Darien's mom, she wore a blue blouse that commented her light brown hair, and a pair of jeans. "Oh hi, Katie."
"Hello Mrs. Mural, Darien called; and he asked me to come over." Katie said politely.
"Come in. and how many times must I ask you to call me Laura?" Mrs. Mural smiled.
Katie laughed lightly. "Many more times than I can count Mrs. Mural."
Laura chuckled. "Darien's upstairs. I haven't seen him sense breakfast…" Mrs. Mural elbowed Katie. "See what you can do, eh?"
Katie nodded and started up the stairs to Darien's room.
"I really do love that girl." Mrs. Mural said to herself as Katie walked up the stairs. Mrs. Mural sighed, and strode to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Knock, Knock, Knock
"Darien? It's Katie… Are you there?" Katie twisted the doorknob, and poked her head inside. "Darien?"
Darien's room was dark, but a little light shinned through the crakes in his shades, casting sunny shadows across the room in lines.
Katie slowly opened the door, just enough so she could walk in. Then when Katie got in the room, she shut the door, and tried the light switch. But it didn't work. So Katie sauntered gradually into the room.
Darien wasn't anywhere in his room.
His bed was unmade, a book lay open on his pillow, and cloths were strung across the floor.
Then out of the corner of her eye, Katie noticed that Darien's full size mirror was covered with a sheet.
Just as curious Katie could be, she tore off the sheet and gasped at what stared back at her…..
Bum, Bum, Bum! Better? Well, sorry for the short chapters. They'll get longer, promise!
