House of Stress:
The club was still in Nina and Amber's room.
"So you think members of the Denby family are behind it? Asked Nina.
"It makes sense, that Patrick Denby had been the first one to get the job and maybe the rest of his family also knows and are now trying to finish," said Aaron.
"But are there any members of the Denby family left at all?" Asked Eddie.
"No idea, but it has them, it has to be that family who's behind it," said Aaron.
"That's not at all certain, it could be other people who got the order from Ankhesenamun," said Nina.
"Do you really think so? Her grave is very difficult to find and the only one who succeeded and survived is Patrick Denby and he is also the only one who has a connection Frobisher-Smythe," said Aaron.
"But this Patrick Denby must be long dead by now anyway, so he could never be behind it," said Patricia.
"So maybe it's his descendants," guessed Alfie.
"The fact remains that we don't know for sure if it's the Denby family, all we know is that KT is in danger," said Nina.
"Maybe I can try to look up some information on that family," said KT.
"You think that's a good idea? I mean if they really are the ones who are after you and then you are going to try to get closer to them," said Amber.
"I've to do something Amber, I'm not gonna sit here and wait, until I fall victim to them," said KT.
In the meantime, Joy was in her room and was on the phone with the supplier, but this conversation did not go as she had hoped.
"Yes, I know I ordered frog legs, but these were supposed to be chicken legs, I mean making mistakes is human after all, Why do you have frog legs at all, nobody likes them," said Joy.
Joy angrily hung up her phone and threw it down on her bed. Otis walked into her room in sat down on Joy's bed.
"They wouldn't trade the frog legs for chicken legs?" Asked Otis.
"No, they said I was the first one to make such a stupid mistake," said Joy.
"It'll be all right, Joy," said Otis.
"You think so? Trudy her son doesn't want to come to her wedding, we don't have a meal and I also have to deal with the fact that one of the most important guests is a goat and it's not coming to the wedding," said Joy.
"Joy let me help you, this is way too much work for you otherwise," said Otis.
"No, I promised Trudy and Isaac that I would do it myself and I'm keeping my promise," said Joy.
"Joy, asking for help is not a weakness and the others would glad to help you too," said Otis.
"You've already done a lot work with auction you deserve your rest," said Joy.
"But Joy," said Otis.
"Let me handle this Otis, I can and will do this myself," said Joy.
Otis got up and left the room, as he came into the hallway he ran into Mason.
"Mason, just the person I was looking for," said Otis.
"You were looking for me?" Asked Mason.
"Yes, you're, so I've a word with you?" Asked Otis.
"Sure," said Mason.
"I want to do something for Joy and I need your help," said Otis.
"I'd like to help you and what do I've to do?" Asked Mason.
"Let's discuss this somewhere else, I don't want Joy to hear anything, it'll ruin the surprise," said Otis.
In the meantime Mara was in Jerome's room talking on the phone, Jerome walked into the room with two glasses with drinks in them.
"What are you doing? Asked Jerome
"I'm trying to call Ryan and try to persuade him to come to the wedding, said Mara.
"Any luck?" Asked Jerome.
"Well, I just sent a lot of text messages and he hasn't responded to them yet," said Mara.
"That's a bumper," said Jereme
"He doesn't answer, I'm getting his voicemail," said Mara.
"So what are you gonna do now?" Asked Jerome.
"This. Listen carefully Ryan, that a lot of people in Anubis house hate you is your own fault, but your mother loves you and you not coming breaks her heart. And if you care about your mom then get over your selfish pride and come here for your mom. And if you don't come then you don't deserve to have such a wonderful mother like Trudy," said Mara.
Mara hung up her phone.
"Wow you let yourself go," said Jerome.
"I had to, Trudy is the sweetest person out there and she deserves the ultimate happiness and I don't want Ryan to ruin that for her," said Mara.
"Then it's really hard to believe that he really is her son," said Jerome.
"And I think the worst part is that Trudy blames herself and she will forgive him anyway," said Mara.
"Maybe he will come after hearing your angry message," said Jerome.
"I don't even care if he comes or not, I just hope for Trudy's sake that her son comes," said Mara.
A few moments later, KT was in her room trying to find information about the Denby family. Aaron entered the room and sat down with her.
"And how is your research on the Denby family going?" Asked Aaron.
"Not all that great, I haven't found much," said KT.
"But you did found something?" asked Aaron.
"Yes, that Patrick Denby has two sons Weston and Terrance Denby, but that's all I've been able to find," said KT.
"Have you tried to find those two sons?" Asked Aaron.
"Yes, but there totally no information about them to be found," said KT.
"I'm sorry KT," said Aaron.
"But then I got a thought," said KT.
"What was your thought?" Asked Aaron.
"What if this Patrick Denby is still alive," said KT.
"Then he must be over a hundred years old," said Aaron.
"But if he drank the elixir like Victor and Rufus, he could still be alive, or maybe his sons," said KT.
"I don't think so KT, according to Rufus father's diary Patrick Denby and your great grandfather were not very good friends, so then don't think Sarah was friends with Denby's sons either, said Aaron.
"But maybe Victor was, because just like him and Sarah the Denby boys were around their age, said KT.
"Maybe, then we have to find out somehow," said Aaron.
"Or we could just ask, I mean Victor is a good now," said KT.
"Yeah, let's just ask him," said Aaron.
"I hope he knows something," said KT.
"It'll be okay KT, we'll find out who's after you," said Aaron.
KT put her laptop away and laid her head on Aaron's shoulder.
In the meantime Joy was in her room and was still preparing for Trudy's wedding, Suddenly she got a text message and saw that was from an unknown person.
Come out to the garden.
Joy put her phone away, got up and left her room and walked down to the garden. When Joy arrived in the garden she saw that there was a table with two chairs and the garden was decorated with lights.
"What is going on? What is all of this?" Asked Joy.
"This is all for you," said Otis, as he walked into the garden.
"Otis?" Asked Joy.
"Come sit down," said Otis.
Joy walked over to the table, Otis pulled out the chair and Joy sat down. Otis sat down across from Joy, he crabbed some glasses and poured some drinks.
"Otis what is this?" Asked Joy.
"A romantic dinner for the two of us," said Otis.
"Why?" Asked Joy.
"I haven't seen you for so long and I wanted to show how much I've missed you," said Otis.
"I've missed you, too," said Joy.
"And you're under so much stress planning this wedding you deserve to be treated too," said Otis.
"You're the sweetest, said Joy.
"And I got your favorite meal, too," said Otis.
"Creamy mushroom chicken?" Asked Joy.
"Yep, said Otis, as he removed the platter of the plate.
"I missed that so much," said Joy.
"Yeah, I thought you might," said Otis.
Joy took a bite of the food and seemed to really enjoy it.
"Wow this really delicious, I missed Trudy's cooking so much," said Joy.
"Yeah, that's understandable that you missed that, but Trudy didn't make this," said Otis.
"Then who did? Did you make this?" Asked Joy.
"No, Mason cooked for us," said Otis.
"Wow, then he really is a great cook," said Joy, as she took another bite.
"Then you know the cake's gonna be okay," said Otis.
"Yeah, tasting this, I know Mason is indeed the man to make the cake," said Joy.
"Joy, this wedding is gonna be fine, great even, I can feel it," said Otis.
"I hope your feelings are correct," said Joy.
"Now let's not talk or think about the wedding anymore and just enjoy this date and enjoy just the two of us," said Otis.
"I love you," said Joy.
"I love you, too, my Joyful," said Otis.
Joy and Otis raised their glass and toasted and enjoyed the date.
A few hours later and all the Anubis residents were in their rooms and in bed. Both Nina and Amber were having trouble falling asleep.
"Nina," said Amber.
"Yes, Amber," said Nina.
"Good, so you're awake too, said Amber.
"Yeah, I can't really sleep," said Nina.
"I'm worried," said Amber.
"What are you worried about Amber?" Asked Nina.
"The Mask and the order that's after KT," said Amber.
"Yeah, I'm worried about that too," said Nina.
"And I feel so sorry for Aaron, he loves KT so much and the idea that he could lose because of that order, it's destroying him inside and of course I feel that a lot because of being his sister," said Amber.
"It's going to be okay Amber, we're going to solve the mystery of the Mask and we're going to stop that order, said Nina.
I hope so, said Amber.
"Hey, let's think of something positive," said Nina.
"Like what?" Asked Amber.
"Trudy's getting married in a few days, let's think about that," said Nina.
"Yeah, I can hardly wait for the day to come," said Amber.
"Neither can I," said Nina.
A few minutes later and Nina and Amber fell asleep.
For the past few days, all the residents had been busy preparing for Trudy and Isaac's wedding. And today was finally the big day. Isaac came out of his tent and looked surprised by the man standing in the garden.
"Zechariah?" Asked Isaac.
"Isaac, it's good to see you again my friend," said Zechariah
"It's good to see you too my friend, I'm glad you're here," said Isaac.
"Of course I can't miss my best friend's wedding," said Zechariah
"How are things in the village?" Asked Isaac.
"Things are going good, all the village of the village wish you good luck and for your wife-to-be," said Zechariah.
"How nice to hear," said Isaac.
"I didn't come alone," said Zechariah.
"You didn't?" asked Isaac.
"I also brought you a present," said Zechariah.
Zechariah walked over to a large box and removed the ribbon, the front of the box fell down and inside was Delphi.
"My dear Delphi, I've missed you," said Isaac.
Isaac walked up to Delphi and gave her a hug, happy to see his beloved goat.
In the meantime Trudy, along with Joy and Mara were in Patricia and Joy's room and the girls were working on Trudy's makeup and hair.
"You will look great Trudy," said Joy.
"Really?" Asked Trudy.
"Yes, you will look like a goddess princess," said Mara.
"And my dress?" Asked Trudy.
Amber walked into the room wearing a beautiful white wedding dress. Trudy turned and looked at the dress with an amazed look on her face.
"Oh what a beautiful dress, thank you Amber so much Amber," said Trudy.
"No problem Trudy, you already look beautiful and when you have that dress soon Isaac will be completely speechless," said Amber.
"I hope not, he still has to say Yes, I do," said Trudy.
"He'll be fine," said Joy.
Trudy turned back to the mirror and Mara and Joy continued with her makeup and hair.
"I'm nervous though," said Trudy.
"You'll be fine, Trudy," said Mara.
"Yes, you love Isaac and he loves you and that's what counts," said Joy.
"You're right," said Trudy.
"You look lovely Trudy, said a familiar voice
Trudy recognized the voice and turned around and got a big smile on her face.
