Author's Note: Sorry once again for the late update. The last chapter was dull but this one is one of my favorites. Enjoy. Please Review.
Chapter #13: Down the stairs we go…
What on earth were Drake and Josh going to do? They were stuck at home with no place to go, with two delinquents. Drake was in his room walking around nervously without even daring to tell Nicky why he was acting so freakish with her.
"Can you tell me what on earth is happening Drake? I am begging to feel very tired of this childish game!" exclaimed Nicky through clenched teeth.
"Nothing at all! I'm just walking around, you know, to burn out some calories." Said Drake know heading to the door and walking down the stairs almost backwards because he didn't wanted to turn his back at Nicky, for he was afraid she might take a gun and blow his brains out any second.
Meanwhile in the living room Josh was trying to come up with a more valuable excuse than having mononucleosis to cover up the fact that he didn't wanted to be next to Dalia as much as he didn't wanted to be next to beehive overflowing with stinging bees.
"I… I… Look Dalia," he began, "to tell you the truth I must say th------------- but he was rudely interrupted by the uncomfortable sound of someone rumbling down the stairs…
No. Nicky didn't fell, neither she had pushed Drake down, but that was just what came into Josh's mind.
"Are you okay bro'!" he said running towards the stairs.
"Yeah, I just fell." Said Drake with an achy voice.
"Of course you fell! You were walking backwards!" said Nicky indignantly passing above Drake's body.
So Josh helped his stepbrother stand up straight and Drake leaned over Josh and murmured through his tightly closed teeth: "In the kitchen. Now!" Josh didn't hesitate and walked with Drake towards the kitchen not looking at the girls.
Drake and Josh were as panicky as Nicky and Dalia were furious.
"We got to get them out of here!" said Drake filled with anxiety.
"No we can't." replied Josh.
"Why?"
"Because we must call the police first. I don't care if Mom and Dad aren't home I must confess I'm beginning to become a bit inpatient "
"Dalia, I think they're beginning to suspect something. Said Nicky back in the living room.
"Yes. Josh is acting so stupid!" said Dalia.
"So does Drake!" Nicky agreed and said "I told you we shouldn't have applied for that kind of… job!"
"You know is more than a job, it's a profession, which I like lots. You gotta admit it's like in those action movies." Said Dalia.
"Well… I guess I have fun, it's a job of… I don't know…high adrenalin… But I still want to get out of here, we must get some kind of excuse not to make them feel… bad… or suspicious..." Said Nicky.
"We don't have a car!" said Dalia loudly, for she sometimes talked loudly when she was annoyed.
"Shhhhhh!" hushed Nicky pressing her finger to her lips. "Don't worry." She whispered, "All we gotta do is call someone to come and pick us up.''
"Hear my words." Dalia began talking slowly as if Nicky was disabled to understand her. "We left our cell phones at home."
"That's no problem. There is a phone here." Said Nicky pointing at the phone in the little table beside the sofa..
"Drake!" Nicky called.
"Yes, darling!" said Drake totally freaked and trying to sound agreeable to Nicky.
"First of all, don't call me darling." Answered Nicky. "… and second, Can I use the phone?"
Drake looked at Josh not really knowing what to answer. But instead of the same expression on Josh's face, Drake received a positive nod and a mischievous smile.
"Of course Nick!" said Drake and Josh headed for the kitchen phone. At once Drake knew Josh's intentions and followed him while he picked up the phone silently.
Author's Note: So, What do you think about this chapter? Sorry:(, you'll have to read the next chapter to know about Nicky's phone call. :)
