Jamie looked towards the doorway and saw them. Immediately she jumped off Brian's lap. "What are you doing here!" she exclaimed. "We could ask you the same thing!!!" Nancy said angrily. "Ma'am you shouldn't be in here." Aaron said. "I have every right to be here until Jamie explains to me what is going ON?" "I...I.... I met ummm...Brian at the gym and we kinda hit it off so we are...together." "Really and how do explain about not coming back to the room last night?!"
Aaron and Nick looked at each other with wide eyes. Jamie looked down at the floor and said quietly. "I was spending the night at Brian's." "What do you mean spent the night you two didn't...."? Frank couldn't say it.
"No, it's nothing like that!!! I stayed because he had AN EXTRA BED!!! And I didn't want to talk to you about...Joe..." Everyone looked at Jamie, but she wouldn't look any of them in the eye.
Joe walked in and she looked up.
"Hey Jamie, so um.... can I talk to you for a minute." He said. Jamie nodded and followed him out of the room.
Everyone stood quietly looking at the doorway in which they had disappeared through. They all looked at each other with the same idea. Nancy walked quietly to the door and put her ear against it. Frank, Brian, Aaron and Nick found a spot next to the door and did the same thing. (A/N): snoopy people aren't they sheesh... tehe I made em that way
Once outside the door Joe closed it. "Jamie I'm sorry about everything. I shouldn't have yelled at you and I shouldn't have asked that waitress to the dance without asking you first.
Can you forgive me and let me take you to the dance?" Jamie shocked as she was shook her head. "I can't I'm going with Brian."
"What whose Brian?"
"Someone who I met while at the gym and he asked me and I said yes."
"Oh.... well can you tell me where you found Iola's keys?" Jamie looked at Joe. "Whose Iola?" "Jamie just tell me where you got the melted keys." "I'm not telling you anything until you tell me who this Iola person is!"
"What are you JEALOUS OF A DEAD GIRL?!" Joe couldn't help but raise his voice. Jamie looked at him. "Dead?" I don't even know who the FUCK SHE IS!!!! "WELL SHE'S DEAD. OKAY! YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT."
There was a long silence between them and then Jamie spoke. "I found them on deck the night I was attacked." "Ok, that's all I wanted to know, but are you sure you don't want to go with me to the dance tonight you'll have a lot more fun with me?" "Joe." "Hey couldn't help, but try, right?"
Hey what are they saying? I don't know if you shut up we could hear them. Both of you be quiet!" sshhhh they'll here us. Well if you don't talk so loud maybe they won't. What's going on? They heard yelling and then it was quiet. "I'm going to go see what's going on." Frank reached for the knob. "NO!!" They all said in a loud whisper. Frank looked at them like they were crazy. "You're just going to let them fight?" "YES!" "Ok." He let go of the knob. "If you say so then w-"Sshhhh!! They're talking again.
"So do you like this Brian a lot?" "I like him, but I'm not sure...I mean I have feelings for you too Joe, but I don't want to hurt you or get hurt..."Jamie trailed off and looked down at the floor. Joe nodded. "I understand, but I could never hurt you Jamie.... never." He walked to the door and opened it. Five people collapsed into the room and fell onto each other.
"What the-? Nancy, Frank!!" They all jumped up off the ground acting like they didn't know how they had gotten there.
"It was Nancy's fault." Frank pointed at her. Nancy swatted his hand away. "It wasn't my fault it was your fault!" They started to argue with each other and the others just watched. Finally Aaron said, "It was all their idea I didn't want to go along with it, but they forced me to listen.
"BE QUIET EVERYONE." Jamie yelled. "We don't care, but answer me this did you hear anything?" "No, just a bunch of mumbling then yelling then nothing then more mumbling." Nick said.
"Good. Hey Nancy do you want to go with me to the ship's boutique today to find a dress for the ball?" Jamie asked. "I wanna go!" Frank said. "Me too." Said Joe. "And us too. "Brian, Nick and Aaron all looked at Jamie with hopeful eyes.
Jamie flat out said "No. It's a girls outing sorry boys." She and Nancy went up on deck and found the boutique. They entered the store and walked among the dresses of different colors, shapes, and sizes.
They walked among the dresses and picked out a few that Jamie would like to wear. First Jamie then Nancy.
"Guys are strange." Jamie walked over to a clothes rack and picked out a black dress.
"They are always like that all the time, but what shocked me was that they were all excited to come with us. " I wonder why it's like we were going to try on bikini's or something and they wanted a peek." "Yeah talk about strange. You never actually see a guy volunteer to go shopping. You don't see that very often." "Yeah."
"Ok, I think I have enough dresses now." Jamie walked towards the dressing room with six dresses hanging off her arm and Nancy had even more for her to choose from. They picked the three best-looking dresses. Jamie walked into the dressing room and came out wearing a white silky dress. The dress was ankle length and hugged her form although it didn't look very good. It was tight around her legs like a tube dress and she couldn't move to well in it. It had long sleeves that stuck to her skin and made it difficult to move her arms.
She then changed into a blue gown that looked like the midnight sky. She looked wondrous, but it just didn't suit her. The material was silk and lace and it made her itch continuously. It was
The final and last one was beautiful. It was comfortable, showed her figure didn't expose too much or too less skin it was perfect... She looked like she just walked out of a dream. Her dress was red and went down to her knees with a swishy movement. Red was definitely her color. The sleeves cut off at her shoulders. Her hair cascaded down the back in a wave. (A/N): use your imagination I know u can do it and I'm not to good at describing dresses because I don't wear dresses so please excuse the whole description if it sucked...Nancy is next don't hurt me too bad I don't think I can bear it.
Nancy chose 2 dresses a sky blue one that went down to her ankles and made her look like a bridesmaid in a wedding. She tried on a dark green dress this one was the same make as Jamie's except green and it made her look magnificent. It went well with her strawberry blonde hair. The guys will be thrilled.
Now what are we suppose to do the girls went shopping and left us here. Joe sat down on his bed with a pout on his face. Frank sat in the chair next to their small table. We could always go see what Dad is up to. "Great let's go!"
They walked to Mr. Hardy's room and knocked on the door. Mr. Hardy opened the door "Hello sons." He opened the door wider so they could come in. "Hey dad, so what have u found out about the case?"
"I learned that Barney was in Mexico for a couple of days. And while he was in Costa Rica there was a robbery at a museum seems they are missing a piece of crystal jewel. It belonged to a queen or something. Not quite sure. They haven't found the jewel or anything. It is worth about 1 million dollars. For some reason I believe Barney had something to do with it and he may have had an accomplice. Why I wonder did he decide to come on the cruise I have no idea, but it must have been because of the jewel.
"How big is the jewel?" Frank asked. It's about the size of a button maybe bigger, all I know so far is that it is white. I haven't exactly seen it. "Damn, that is small and how did they not expect to lose it if it was that small?" Joe said sarcastically.
"They had it in a museum with guards all over the place. It was in a glass case with all the queens jewels, but what troubles me is why they didn't take the rest of them." "Did you check Barney's room and luggage that he brought onto the ship"? "Yes and I looked for secret compartments within his luggage. I came up empty handed."
"Really? Well we suspect that he had trashed Jamie and Nancy's room looking for something, but they told us nothing was missing. So... what if he didn't intend to take anything, but to.... hide something. Joe looked at Frank incredulously. "You really think it could be in there somewhere." Don't know the only way to find out is go and look." Frank said.
