Chapter 6
"Maybe this isn't such a good idea." said Jackie
The four girls were standing at the side of Riley's house. It was the dead of night, the moon was full and wolves were howling in the distance. But dressed in black the girls were barely visible.
Danielle said, "Well we can't walk in through the door!"
"Yeah but this is called breaking and entering!" cried Jackie
Nehal ignored that fact and said, "Okay, here's the plan-we need someone to go in with me as back up-"
"Me! Oh pick me!" said Danielle
"Okay Danielle, and someone will use this transmitter radio a.k.a. walkie –talkie to keep watch for any interference."
"Omg! I love walkie talkies!" said Jackie
"Alright and Heather you're left to guard the front of the house. Let's move out!"
"Wait!" said Jackie
Nehal rolled her eyes. "What now Jackie?"
"Maybe we should have a signal or something incase one of us gets in trouble or something…"
"That's what the walkie-talkies are for! So we can communicate. Now let's do this!"
Jackie sighed.
Nehal and Danielle flew up on Nehal's broom to Riley's bedroom.
"Let's just pray the window isn't locked." whispered Danielle. Danielle unlocked the latch and she slowly entered. She then looked to see if Riley was asleep and he was. Danielle motioned for Nehal to come in.
Nehal entered and suddenly her broom fell to the ground outside, but luckily it didn't break or make a loud sound. Nehal and Danielle both breathed sighs of relief.
Jackie then spoke into the walkie-talkie. "Testing, testing 1, 2, 3." She didn't hear a response from Heather. "Draco Malfoy is hot over!" Jackie then looked at the switch and saw that it wasn't on. "My bad!" She turned it on. "Heather you there? Over and out."
Heather replied, "Only say over and out if you're going away for good. Say over if you're just done talking!"
"Fine. Be that way!"
"Maybe I will!"
Nehal said, "Entering through window. Commencing search for tie over."
"Searching for Riley to ensure safety over!" said Danielle
"Status clear over!" said Heather
Jackie said, "Remember a man behind gets left behind. That's the pirate code over. Oh wait not over I have a visual of victim, over!" (Jackie's sitting in a tree by the way)
"You mean Riley?" said Heather. "Oh yeah, OVER!"
"Yes, over." replied Danielle.
Nehal said, "He's sleeping, over…okay that's getting really annoying…over!" Nehal then started looking in all of Riley's drawers and his closet for the tie.
"Dammit! Where could it be?" muttered Danielle
Nehal moved into Riley's bathroom and saw a little shrine with pictures of Nehal, some flowers and her tie. "Oh my gosh!" She said because all the pictures were ripped.
"I know!" exclaimed Jackie. "That guy walking down the street is so hot!"
"Pathetic." muttered Nehal to the shrine.
"No he's not! How dare you!" Jackie shouted.
"Shh!" hissed Danielle
"Have established visual with target over and out." said Nehal
Heather stood outside the side of Riley's house when all of a sudden Heather started having a conversation with a 7 year old boy. "I'm sure you would like to no who I am and what I do, but as part of my creed I cannot tell you. You see my identity must remain mysterious and my mission kept secret. I cannot reveal it to you."
"Why not?" asked the 7 year old boy.
"Because then I would have to kill you."
"Daddy!" The boy ran off.
Heather smiled for a good job done.
Nehal grabbed her tie and said, "Let's blow this joint!" She opened the window.
Danielle ran into the bathroom. "Nehal we have to get out of here! I think he's waking up!"
"Let's hurry!"
Danielle jumped out first onto the broom and zoomed to Jackie, almost knocking her out of the tree.
"Ahh!" screamed Jackie.
"Shut up, Riley's waking up!" hissed Danielle
"Danie no offense, gurl but flying really isn't your thing."
"I know now be quiet!"
Nehal, still in the bathroom, had her foot on the window sill when she heard footsteps. Her heart jumped into her mouth as the door knob slowly turned…
But in a flash Nehal was away on her broom clutching the tie.
Heather said, "Let's clear this place. Over and out."
The girls ran down the streets but bumped into two something's…
"Jackie?" said a tall boy
"Rocky?" said Nehal
"What are you doing here?" All of them said in unison.
"Whoa freaky." The girls said.
"Did you guys just go to Riley's house?" asked Colt
Jackie thought, "Wow Colt's taller and more built…wait you have Draco stop it Jackie!"
The girls all looked at each other nervously, except for Jackie because she was staring at Colt.
"Er…no." answered Nehal.
Rocky said, "Oh…okay then."
Danielle replied, "We were just in the neighborhood."
Colt said, "Why are you all dressed in black?"
Heather replied, "Because we are the women in black!"
"Boo yeah!" yelled Nehal
Danielle said, "What are you two doing here?"
Rocky and Colt looked at each other nervously. "It's none of your damn business!" They said.
"Okay that was a bit harsh." muttered Heather
Jackie said, "Hey Rocky are you still going out with Hermione?"
"Yeah…" answered Rocky
"Omg that's so cute! My match –making skills are actually working!"
"Match –making?" asked Rocky confused.
"Oops…"
"You set Hermione and me up?"
"Um…um…kind of…sort of…not really. I just told Hermione that I thought that you liked her."
"Well then…you are very correct."
Nehal rolled her eyes. Rocky probably only liked Hermione because she was one of the only girls who didn't turn him down.
"Anyways…" said Heather. "We should be going now…"
"Thanks for the letter Jackie!" said Colt out of the blue.
Jackie did the shifty eye thing. "What letter?" She ignored the death glares she was receiving from her friends.
"You know, I sent you a letter you sent me a letter back…"
"Oh…that letter."
Nehal snorted, "Jaxs I can't believe you sent that loser a letter!"
"Who are you calling a loser?"
"You. I mean come on Riley is the ring leader of the gang so that kind of makes him the king of the losers! And you two are his loyal loser subjects!"
Danielle laughed.
Rocky said, "We're not loyal subjects!"
Heather said, "I hate to break it to you…but you are."
"Yeah!" added Danielle. "And you still haven't found a replacement for Cory."
"We're working on it." answered Colt. "We still keep in touch."
Nehal looked at her watch. "Omg we're late for Malfoy and Jamie. We were supposed to meet them at Fraser Street 15 minutes ago."
"D'arn tootin." said Heather
Jackie said, "Well I guess we better go before they come looking for us."
Rocky said, "You're hanging out with Jamie Bell! He's so unpopular at our school!"
"So? It's not like you're that popular either!"
Danielle smiled at Jackie's comment.
"Why would you popular gals hang out with him?" Rocky ignored Jackie's comment.
"I have no idea." muttered Heather
Nehal said, "I talked to him at Quidditch camp. He's a pretty nice guy."
"I bet he is." Rocky said sarcastically
Nehal now was really angry. "Rocky? Remember when I told you, you were cool?"
Rocky nodded his head.
"Well I lied."
Rocky gasped in horror.
Dun, dun dun…
"Well you're probably lying about Jamie too!" said Colt
"La!" said Heather
"Sayonara!" said Nehal and they all walked away.
Jackie looked back and waved to Colt before any of her friends could notice.
While they were walking to Fraser Street (but not there yet) they ran into Draco and Jamie.
"Hi!" said Jackie. "We were supposed to meet at Fraser Street!"
"Well you took forever. We thought maybe Riley had taken care of you!" remarked Jamie
"Yeah! Like they could do anything like that!" scoffed Danielle
"Or could they…"
The girls all looked at Jamie. "Right…"
"So did you get the tie Pradhan?" asked Draco
"Yeah she did!" said Jackie before Nehal could answer.
Nehal looked at the tie and said, "Ugh! What is that smell?"
Heather pinched her nose and waved her hand around. "Yeah I was trying to be polite and not say something…"
Nehal smelt the tie. "Yuck! I've got second hand stink here!" (LOL)
Jackie and Draco laughed.
"Not funny! Gosh doesn't Riley ever take a bath?"
"Maybe once every blue moon." suggested Danielle.
They all burst out laughing.
Nehal said, "First thing I do when I get home is I'm washing this tie."
Jackie was laughing so hard that she hit the lower part of Draco's arm.
A sudden jolt of pain flooded Draco's body. He collapsed to his knees. "You stupid idiot!" yelled Draco. "What the bloody hell was that for?"
A wave of guilt hit Jackie hard. "Oh…" She didn't know what to say. "Draco, I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just…" She stopped talking, and saw him regaining his senses. She mouthed to Nehal, Danielle and Heather. "I didn't even hit him that hard."
Nehal muttered, "He can't be…"
"Can't be what?" asked Heather
"Huh?"
"You were muttering to yourself saying he can't be, so what can't he be?"
"Uh…I don't know, I'm uh hey Heather look over there, free muffins!"
"Free Muffins! Where?"
"Ha, ha gotcha."
Heather narrowed her eyes at Nehal forgetting about what Nehal had muttered.
Jackie said, "But Draco what happened?"
Draco got to his feet. "What do you mean?"
"I barely touched you! What happened to your arm that made it hurt so badly?"
"Er…" Draco tried to find words. "Sunburn. Really bad sunburn. Hurts like a bitch."
"Oh…I'm sorry boy that blows."
A/N: Hey guys I know this chapter is short but I'll make it up to you later on. Keep those funky reviews coming!
Beckyb007- Thank you! And as for Draco and Nehal you'll have to see what happens…
Softshadows – Yeah the rock paper scissors thing was kind of random but you know it was good. Ian and Danielle may have some troubles ahead, and Heather may or may not find somebody, you'll just have to find out what happens later.
