House of Sadness:
Alfie threw off his bag and hurried over to Trudy and knelt beside her.
"Trudy," said Alfie.
Victor Jr. also entered the kitchen and walked over to Alfie and tapped on his schoulder.
"What did you say?" Asked Victor jr.
"I can't scream any louder!" Shouted Alfie.
"I did understand you. I just can't... Fabian is really dead?" Asked Victor jr.
Alfie said nothing but from the look in his eyes Victor Jr. could tell that something was wrong.
"Fabian," said Trudy, softly.
Alfie looked at Trudy with a sad look in his eyes and nodded his head and Trudy lost consciousness again.
A few moments later all the Anubis residents and Trudy were gathered in the living room processing the news about Fabian.
"Why Fabian? Sweet, sweet Fabian," said Trudy, as she was crying.
No one said anything and then Victor Jr. walked into the living room.
"And?" Asked Nina.
"I called his parents, they will be here in two days for the funeral," said Victor jr.
Hearing those words only made Trudy cry harder.
"But how? I don't understand, I was lying next to him," said KT.
"But don't you know something?" Asked Patricia.
"I try really hard to remember, but it's a black hole," said KT.
"We'll figure out what happened," said Aaron.
Aaron put his arm around KT and stared at Joy. Joy got up and walked away and headed upstairs.
"I really need to get out of here," said Nina.
Amber nodded her head and Nina got up and left the living room.
"I'm going upstairs," said KT.
"I'm going with you," said Aaron.
Aaron got up and helped KT get up and went upstairs with her.
At the same time, Joy walked into her room angry and sad. In anger, Joy threw all her things off her desk.
"How could I be so stupid! I'd rather go to jail, anything is better than this!" Yelled Joy.
Suddenly something was thrown in through the open window. Joy picked it up and saw that it was a stone with a note attached to it. Joy removed the note and began to read it.
In 15 minutes in the garden. O.
"Omar!" Said Joy with anger in her voice.
Meanwhile in Mara and KT's room. KT was lying in her bed and Aaron was sitting on the edge of her bed staring ahead of her. KT sat up straight and put her hand on Aaron's shoulder.
"Aaron?" Asked KT.
"Yes," said Aaron.
"How are you feeling?" Asked KT.
"Why do you ask? I'm mean you're the one lying in bed with a concussion," said Aaron.
"I mean more now with Fabian's death? Fabian was your best friend after all," said KT.
"I don't know how to feel, I haven't lost anyone that close to me," said Aaron.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Asked KT.
"Just rest and get well," said Aaron.
"I really wish I could remember something from that day," said KT.
'I know you do," said Aaron.
Aaron pulled his phone out of his pocket and searched for the picture of Joy and Omar.
"Can I maybe ask you something?" Asked Aaron.
"Yeah," said KT.
"Do you know who this might be?" asked Aaron.
Aaron handed his phone to KT and they looked at the picture.
"Joy," said KT. "But who is that guy?"
"That's what I was hoping to hear from you," said Aaron.
"No, sorry, I've no idea," said KT.
KT gave Aaron back his phone and lay down again.
In the meantime, Nina went to Fabian and Eddie's room and sat on Fabian's bed. Nina took her phone out of her pocket and called Fabian. Fabian who was sitting in villa heard his phone go off in his bag, Fabian tried to get up and reached out for his bag, but he was too weak and lost consciousness.
This is the answering machine of Fabian Rutter, at this time I'm not reachable by phone, please leave a message after the beep.
Nina hung up the phone and put it back in her pocket. Nina turned around and saw one of Fabian's sweaters hanging over the chair railing. Nina grabbed the sweater and put it against her face and she could smell Fabian's scent. Nina closed her eyes and thought back to the moments she had with Fabian. The first time she saw him, their first kiss at the prom and the moment where Fabian gave her the necklace. Nina lay down and held Fabian's sweater even closer to her face.
A few minutes later, Joy angrily walked into the garden, looking for Omar.
"Where are you?" Asked Joy.
"Hey," said Otis.
"Otis?" Asked Joy.
"Yeah, you got my note, right?" Asked Otis.
"Your note?" Asked Joy.
"Yeah," said Otis.
"Yeah, I got it," said Joy.
"After we heard the news about Fabian, you ran out of the classroom and I tried to look for you, but I couldn't find you," said Otis.
'I just needed to get away," said Joy.
"I understand, but I want you to know I'm here for you," said Otis.
Joy got tears in her eyes and hugged Otis. After Joy let go, she and Otis sat down on Isaac's rug.
"What exactly did happen?" Asked Otis.
"What do you mean?" Asked Joy.
"With Fabian," said Otis.
"Are you investigating or something?" Asked Joy.
"No, I'm just wondering what happened," said Otis.
"Do you want to know for yourself or for the school paper," said Joy.
"I don't mean that at all," said Otis.
"You know what, how about I'll say I did it, That it's all my fault," said Joy.
"Well maybe it's better if I go," said Otis.
"Yes, just go," said Joy.
Otis got up and walked back into the house. Joy turned around and saw Isaac standing.
"Are you listing in to our conversation?" Asked Joy.
"I only heard that boy cares about you a lot and the rest is not important," said Isaac.
In the meantime. Nina was still lying in Fabian's bed with his sweater close to her. Amber walked to Fabian's room and saw Nina. Amber entered the room and sat down next to Nina.
"Nina," said Amber.
"No," said Nina.
"Maybe you shouldn't be here," said Amber.
"I like it here. I feel like he could walk in any time," said Nina.
"But he won't," said Amber.
"I know he won't," said Nina.
Nina sat up straight and Amber hugged her, trying to comfort her best friend as best she could.
In the meantime in the cellar. Victor jr. was busy repairing his device and at that same moment Victor sr. appeared in the mirror.
"Victor!" Shouted Victor sr.
"Sorry father you've to talk louder, said Victor jr. as he walked up to the mirror.
"While you've been wasting your time, those rascals have been up to no good," said Victor sr.
"I'm sorry, Father, but my head's spinning because Fabian has passed away," said Victor jr.
"While you're sitting here sobbing like a little kid, the rascals stole your amulet and got into the secret tunnel," said Victor sr.
Victor Jr. walked over to his table and looked for the amulet and to his amazement it was gone.
"My amulet it's gone," said Victor jr.
"Because you are such a fool Victor. If you don't get me the mini house soon, Fabian won't be the last to perish," said Victor sr.
Victor Sr. disappeared again and Victor Jr. sat down in his chair sighing and having no idea what to do.
In the meantime. KT had fallen asleep and Aaron left her room and went to Patricia and Joy's room. Aaron entered the room and searched Joy's side of the room. But Aaron couldn't find anything and sat down on Joy's bed.
"What am I looking for?" Asked Aaron.
When Aaron looked down he saw Joy's bag under her bed and he grabbed the bag and put it on his lap. Aaron opened the bag and took out a copy of the map.
"Why do you have of map in your bag Joy?" Asked Aaron.
Aaron heard someone approaching and quickly put the copy of the map in his back pocket and left Joy's room without anyone seeing him. Aaron saw Joy walk up and quickly hid in the bathroom. Joy was just about to walk into her room when her phone rang. Joy didn't recognize the number and picked up.
"Hello, you speak with Joy Mercer," said Joy.
"If you keep me waiting one more time, I'll come and see you at home," said Omar.
Joy's face turned pale when she heard Omar's voice, Joy looked around and quickly went into her room. Aaron came out of the bathroom and walked towards the door of Joy's room and tried to eavesdrop on her.
"What is this all about?" Asked Omar.
"Why, do I need a reason to call my favorite spy," said Omar.
"Ex-spy, I don't do anything for you anymore," said Joy.
"Why don't you answer that phone I gave you? You need to do the next task immediately," said Omar.
"Are you deaf or something? I don't want anything more to do with it! Leave me alone!" Shouted Joy.
Joy hung up her phone and angrily threw it down on her bed.
A few moments later. Trudy walked over with a cup of tea and walked over to Isaac who was sitting in front of his tent.
"Ah Trudy come and spoil me with a delicious cup of tea again," said Isaac.
"Yes, it is so cold and you are already drinking not that much and I thought you would like a hot cup of tea," said Trudy.
Trudy's hands were shaking so badly that the tea cup fell out her hands and into the grass.
"Oh how stupid of me," said Trudy.
"Here, let me help you," said Isaac.
Isaac picked up the shards and handed them to Trudy.
"I don't think you came here for the tea," said Isaac.
"No, I didn't. I had to get out of the house for a while," said Trudy. "Do you know about Fabian?"
"Yes, I know," said Isaac.
"They're all kind of like my own children and Fabian was so sweet," said Trudy.
"The road is still as dark as night, but light will shine through," said Isaac.
"I'm standing here crying myself, I should be in the house and comforting them," said Trudy.
"Sorrow must come out or it will turn a big ball around your body that gets bigger and bigger. And you are trying so hard," said Isaac.
"But I'm not doing enough. I don't know how to comfort them. I don't know what to say, said Trudy.
"I'll help you," said Isaac.
A few hours later. All the residents were sitting in the living room in front of the sofa on the floor and had no idea what was about to happen.
"Is anyone here going to explain to me what the point of this is?" Asked Patricia.
"Don't ask me, because I've no idea," said Eddie.
"Apparently, my uncle prepared something special for us," said Alfie.
"But your uncle is a healer, not a cook," said Jerome.
Trudy and Isaac walked into the living room with a big bowl of soup and at the same time Victor Jr. walked into the living room.
"What is this?" Asked Victor jr.
"Victor this is important sit down please, said Trudy.
"I don't have time for this," said Victor jr.
"Sit down," said Trudy.
Victor Jr. sat down on the floor and looked at Trudy and so did the residents.
"Why are we doing this?" Asked Mara.
"We're doing this for Fabian," said Trudy.
"For Fabian?" Asked Nina.
"Yes, Uncle Isaac prepared this especially because we are all sad," said Trudy.
"A soup is going to help us with that?" Asked Jerome.
"Yeah," said Isaac.
At the same time, Omar sneaked through the garden of Anubis house and searched the garden. Omar started digging and found the cable and tried to pull it out with it wouldn't batch.
Back in the house. The residents thought it was a bit of a strange idea about the soup and frankly weren't too enthralled with it either.
"What's in the soup?" Asked Jerome.
"That's not important," said Trudy.
"Oh but it is to me, otherwise I won't eat it, So what's in it?" Asked Jerome.
"Jerome, you should never ask for a secret recipe," said Trudy.
"KT just got sick, I don't think it's smart to give her a bunch of strange herbs," said Aaron.
"I can myself decide what I eat," said KT.
"Actually, I would also like to know what is in it," said Amber.
"So would I," said Patricia.
"As a matter of fact, so would I," said Mara.
"Well, you may, you may as well know. The ingredients in this wonderful soup are salt, pepper and soup spices," said Isaac.
"Oh, how gross... Wait, what?" Asked Jerome.
"And no secret healing herbs?" Asked Trudy.
"No," said Isaac.
"So it's just an ordinary soup," said Victor jr.
"You still don't understand, it's not about the soup, it's about being together. Great grief and soup have a lot in common," said Isaac.
"Oh yeah?" Asked Amber.
"Yes, you can share it, and that's what we're gonna do," said Isaac.
Isaac took a sip of the soup and passed the bowl to Victor Jr.
"Here you can start," said Isaac.
"Don't we get a spoon?" Asked Victor jr.
"No, we don't," said Isaac.
"Alright then," said Victor jr.
Victor Jr. took a sip of the soup and passed the bowl to Otis. Meanwhile, Omar was still in the garden and he used a pair of bolt cutters and cut the cable. The lights went out in Anubis house and Amber started screaming in fear.
