House of Schedules:
The Anubis residents had said goodbye to Trudy earlier and they were now at school, the club was already in the classroom.
"Have you heard from Eddie yet?" Asked Fabian.
"No, nothing yet," said Patricia.
"We should have heard something by now," said Fabian.
"You think something happened?" Asked Nina.
"No, Eddie doesn't do crazy things," said Patricia.
"I'm not saying that, but he knows we're in a hurry, we need that new papyrus," said Fabian.
The bell rang and the rest of the students came in, A few seconds later Mr. Sweet walked in and right away he noticed "Daniel".
"A new face, hello young man," said Mr. Sweet.
"That's Daniel our cousin and he's coming here to study with us for a while," said Aaron.
"But that just be happening like that. And Daniel can't speak for himself?" Asked Mr. Sweet.
"But I'm here because of the exchange program," lied Fabian.
"Exchange program?" Asked Mr. Sweet.
"Yes, it's right here in this letter," said Fabian.
Fabian gave Mr. Sweet that Patricia forged, Fabian hoping that Mr. Sweet wouldn't find out that was fake.
"This is indeed my signature, but I don't remember this exchange program at all," said Mr. Sweet.
"But that's logical, isn't it? You've been so distracted lately,"' said Amber.
"Yes, that's true, I've had a lot on my mind this past few months," said Mr. Sweet.
"So Daniel can just join the class?" Asked Amber.
"Yes, sure, Daniel welcome to our school," said Mr. Sweet.
"Thank you," said Fabian.
"Then we will now begin the lesson," said Mr. Sweet.
An hour later and the lesson was over the Anubis residents and their fellow students moved on to their next class
In the meantime in the house. Victor was busy removing all the notes Trudy had pasted everywhere. Then he went to the cellar and took a tube out of his drawer and drank the contents.
"Only so little left of it and that soon will meant that I won't have any more elixir," said Victor.
A few moments later back at school and lunch break was almost over, Nina and Fabian headed toward the chemistry lab.
"I'm so glad that went well," said Fabian.
"Yes," said Nina.
"I was so afraid that Sweetie will recognize me or that one of the other residents will recognize me," said Fabian.
"You're unorganizable, I don't even recognize you. And I think it's smart, I couldn't do it," said Nina.
"I have to," said Fabian.
"Yes, I know, you're so brave right now," said Nina.
"But we have other things on our minds right now," said Fabian.
"I mean, how are we gonna do it? We haven't been able to investigate the basement," said Nina.
"We just have to hope we hear from Eddie soon, that's all we can do," said Fabian.
"I know, but I don't like that we have to sit around and wait," said Nina.
The bell rang, Nina and Fabian had to leave quickly before the other students entered the room. Fabian looked at Nina and gave her a kiss. Fabian pulled away and Nina looked at him with a weird and kinda confusing, even she knows that she kissing Fabian, it still felt weird to her because he didn't look like himself at all.
"That one was from Fabian," said Fabian.
"Okay," said Nina.
Nina and Fabian left the classroom without anyone seeing them and headed toward the next class.
A few moments later, Joy and Otis walked down the hallway together.
"I still can't believe you gave video camera to Trudy,' said Joy.
"It was nothing," said Otis.
"It was nothing? Otis, ever since I've known you, you've had that video camera, "said Joy.
"Yeah, but I'm sure Trudy could put it to much better use, like making a video dairy and sending to us to see what she is up to, "said Otis.
"And do you think she'll actually be able to do that? Trudy doesn't even know how to use a computer, she thought the computer mouse was a real mouse,"' said Joy.
"With my explanation, she'll be fine," said Otis
"And yet I find it very strange to see you without a camera," said Joy.
"I still have my other camera and by the way I saving for a new one anyway," said Otis.
"Shall we do something fun together this afternoon after school?" Asked Joy.
"We have school paper meeting after school, remember," said Otis.
"Oh, yeah," said Joy.
"Then we'll do something fun after the school paper meeting," suggested Otis.
"I can't, Mara made a schedule with all the household duties Trudy did and guess who has to do the cooking today, said Joy.
"I think it's you, said Otis.
"Good guess and I didn't agree by the way," said Joy.
"Then we'll do something fun together some other time, when neither of us is being scheduled for household duties," said Otis.
"And don't have a school paper meeting," said Joy.
"Sounds like a great plan to me," said Otis.
"I don't feel like cooking and I don't even know what to cook," said Joy.
"Spaghetti is always an easy dish to make," said Otis.
"Yeah, I'll just do that," said Joy.
"Did you happen to see which day I'm scheduled and what I've to do?" Asked Otis.
"No," said Joy.
In the meantime in the villa, Mason was with his parents in the basement and standing by KT's bed, the smile on KT's face disappeared.
"It changed again," said Geoffrey.
"What do you mean?" Asked Mason.
"Don't pretend I'm crazy, KT's smile, It doesn't feel right," said Geoffrey.
"This can't go wrong, things are happening here that aren't right," said Caroline.
"You shouldn't fool us Mason," said Geoffrey.
"I'm not, I'm really not," said Mason.
"I'm going to check on Fabian," said Geoffrey.
"No," said Mason.
"No? What no?" asked Geoffrey.
"He has just gone sleeping, It took me a long time. He almost trusts me, I just need a tiny bit more time and then I can hear him out," said Mason.
"Okay, we'll leave Fabian to you Mason, said Caroline.
"I have a night shift at the hospital, I'll see you tomorrow, said Geoffrey.
Geoffrey gave his wife a kiss on the cheek and left the basement. Mason was starting to feel a lot of pressure and didn't know how much longer he was going to be able to keep the lie up.
A few hours later and the school day was over and residents were home and eating dinner.
"Did you have a nice first day of school Daniel?" Asked Otis.
"Oh yes I did," said Fabian.
"Nice to hear," said Jerome.
Mara walked into the living room and handed everyone a piece of paper.
"What is this?" Asked Jerome.
"This is the housekeeping schedule," said Mara.
"Housekeeping schedule?" Asked Jerome.
"Yes, on it are those tasks that everyone has to do in the house," said Mara
"And you just decided that without consulting us?" Asked Aaron.
"The way I planned it, works for the best," said Mara.
"And you really think that?" Asked Amber.
"Yes," said Mara.
"I think we should all discuss it, I mean, after all, we all live here," said Aaron.
"Exactly, so we all have a right to speak," said Alfie.
"I agree," said Patricia.
"All right then, we'll make another schedule that everyone agrees on," said Mara.
"That's a good idea," said Patricia.
"Shall we leave the schedule for now, I mean that's no fun for Daniel either, having to listen to this," said Amber.
"You're right, I shouldn't be acting like this, I'm sorry Daniel," said Mara.
"It's all right," said Fabian.
After dinner the club was in the kitchen because it was Nina and Amber's turn to do the dishes and the club used this moment for a club meeting.
"Patricia have you heard from Eddie yet?" Asked Nina.
"No, nothing yet," said Patricia.
"If we just get that new papyrus scroll on time," said Aaron.
"And I haven't found anything that could save both KT and Mason's brother," said Fabian.
"Then we need to call Mason, we need to keep searching," said Nina.
"Nina, if we can't find anything, we have to save KT," said Fabian.
"There has to be a way to save KT and Lloyd, I really believe that," said Nina.
The discussion was interrupted by Joy walking into the kitchen.
"Oh sorry, you guys were," said Joy.
"We're almost done," said Nina.
Joy nodded her head and held her finger to her mouth and winked and smiled at Fabian.
"What was that all about?" Asked Amber.
"Joy, she now knows who I really am, that I'm actually Fabian and so that I'm still alive," said Fabian.
"Does she also know what's going on now?" Asked Aaron.
"Does she also know about KT, not the whole story just that her life is in danger," said Fabian.
"And she's keeping her mouth shut about you?" Asked Amber.
"Yes, she won't tell anyone who I really am," said Fabian.
"Anyway, I'm glad she's a lot happier now," said Patricia.
Nina received a text message, she looked at her phone and saw that the message was from Mason.
"It's Mason," said Nina.
"What's he writing?" Asked Aaron.
"He is in the garden and wants me to come to him," said Nina.
Nina walked towards the garden and the rest of the club followed her. Nina walked into the garden and saw Mason standing there, the rest of the club also came into the garden.
"Nina, where is Fabian?" Asked Mason.
"Here," said Fabian.
Mason looked at Fabian with a confused look, because he didn't recognize him with his disguise on.
"You were going to help me, the plan was that you were going to keep me informed, right?" Asked Mason.
"Yeah," said Fabian.
"My parents ask about you all the time about, I said you were asleep, but you have to come with me," said Mason.
"When?" Asked Fabian.
"Now," said Mason.
"I'm coming with you," said Nina.
Nina and Fabian walked behind Mason and went back to the villa. The rest of the club stayed put at the house.
"Does anyone have a bad feeling about this? Asked Alfie.
"Yes, I defiantly have, said Aaron.
"Shouldn't one of us go after them? Asked Alfie.
"I'm going after them, said Aaron.
"No, you can't do that, said Amber.
"We need to know where that villa is and I want to see KT, said Aaron.
"We have to sure that Mason is going to keep trusting us and if he finds out we are following him, he won't trust us no longer," said Amber.
"I don't trust Mason," said Aaron.
"Neither do I, but Nina trusts him and we have to trust her," said Amber.
A few moments later Nina and Fabian arrived at the villa with Mason, they went inside and walked towards a room.
"And have you found anything yet?" Asked Mason.
"We are working on it, but we still need time," said Fabian.
"There is no more time, my parents are beginning to suspect something, I feel it," said Mason.
"You just have to hold on a little longer Mason," said Nina.
"Do you know why KT started smiling?" Asked Mason.
"Smiling?" Asked Nina.
"Yes, she suddenly smiled and then just like that it was gone," said Mason.
"I don't know," said Fabian.
"How long do we have to stay here?" Asked Nina.
"Until one of my parents sees Fabian in bed," said Mason.
"And then what?" Asked Nina.
"Then you can go," said Mason.
"I don't think so," said a familiar female voice.
Nina, Fabian and Mason turned and saw Caroline standing in the doorway.
Nina and Fabian were caught again! What would happen to them? Will they manage to get away again this time or are they now trapped there in the villa.
