House of Escape:
Jerome and Alfie were in the boys' bathroom at school. Alfie has been told by Jerome to go to the house tonight to search the fireplace. Alfie absolutely didn't want to do that.
"No, I'm not going to do that. I spent almost half a night in the cellar and I was also locked up in a sarcophagus. I'm not gonna sneak back to the house in the night," said Alfie.
"You're or shall I tell your new friends what you have just told me. You've got no choice," said Jerome.
"Fine. I'll do it," said Alfie.
"Good boy Alfie. Now smile, you're supposed to be happy, said Jerome.
Alfie was not happy at all with the threats from Jerome. Alfie said nothing and left the boys bathroom. A few seconds later, Jerome also left the bathroom. The two boys arrived back in the drama room. Otis was busy setting up the beamer for the movie. Amber entered the drama room with her beauty case.
"Amber what have you got there?" Asked Nina.
"My beauty case," said Amber.
"Where did you get that from?" Asked Nina.
"From my locker," said Amber.
"You've a beauty case in your locker?" Asked Nina
"Yeah duh. This me, we're talking about," said Amber.
"Good point. That was a stupid question to ask," said Nina,
"What are you going to do with that beauty case of yours?" Asked Caitlin.
"I've all these fine facial makers in my case and I thought I could give everyone a mask," said Amber.
"I don't say no to that," said Caitlin.
"It hasn't been tested on animals, has it? I don't use anything that has been tested on animals," said Fiona.
"Relax Fiona, all my make-up is animal proof free. And those are masks made of fruits," said Amber.
"Oh in that case I want a mask too," said Fiona.
"Which fruits do you have?" Asked Caitlin
"I've got kiwi, mango and cranberry," said Amber.
"I wanna kiwi mask," said Nina.
"Boys do you also want a facial? Asked Amber.
"No way, I'm not putting that green gunk on my face. I'll look like a blonde version of the Incredible Hulk, said Mick
"I would say if Shrek had hair and it would be blonde," joked Otis.
"I want one," said Alfie.
"Yeah, me too," said Otis.
"Okay you guys just lost all your manhood," said Jerome.
"Actually a real man takes care of himself. So buy doing these facials Otis and Alfie are more of man than you," said Amber.
"Doesn't matter what you say. I'm nothing getting a facial," said Mick.
"Aaron do you want a facial mask?" Asked Amber.
"No thanks. I'm good," said Aaron.
"It's really good for your face and you'll look good," said Amber.
"Aaron doesn't need a facial mask to look good," said Caitlin.
Everyone stared at Caitlin and Caitlin felt embarrassed that she said those words out loud. A few minutes later all the girls and Alfie and Otis had facial masks. And a few minutes later, all residents, expect for Mara, were watching a movie. Mara was busy writing her speech for the debat for tomorrow. Mara was kinda stressed because of the mice outbreak, she had to left her notebook with her speech behind in the house and she had to write a last minute speech.
Meanwhile back at the house. Victor was searching Fabian and Mick's room and turned everything upside down. But Victor didn't like it again and he became more frustrated.
Serval hours later and it was 10 o'clock. Mr. Sweet was the drama room about to do Victor's 10 o'clock ritual.
"It's 10 o'clock you girls all know what that means," said Mr. Sweet
"Victor literally instructed him on how to do this," said Patricia.
"Yeah it's freaky," said Caitlin.
"Ladies let me finish," said Mr. Sweet.
"Sorry sir, said Caitlin.
"Then I want a pin ... ouch," said Mr. Sweet.
Mr. Sweet pricked his finger on the pin, which made the girls laugh. Mr. Sweet dropped the pin and left the drama room.
In the meantime with the boys. The boys were asleep, but their peace was disturbed by Alfie tearing through his bed. This woke the boys up.
What is going on?" Asked Mick, still half a sleep
"Oh, not again," complained Fabian.
"Alfie. Sleep on the floor," said Aaron.
An hour later all the girls, except Nina, were asleep. Nina sneaked out of bed and walked over to Patricia's bed to wake her up.
"Patricia it's time," said Nina.
"Oh yeah," said Patricia, still half asleep.
"Come we're meeting Fabian and Aaron at the lockers," said Nina.
"Shouldn't we wake up Amber?" Asked Patricia.
"No, if Sweetie catches her, she can kiss her campaign goodbye," said Nina.
Nina and Patricia grabbed their shoes and sneaked out of the drama room.
At the same time in the history classroom, Fabian and Aaron got out of their beds, grabbed their shoes and sneaked out of the classroom. Jerome was still awake and realized that Fabian and Aaron had sneaked out of the classroom. Jerome decided to wait until he was going to wake up Alfie.
Nina and Patricia arrived at the lockers and a few seconds later Aaron and Fabian arrived. Suddenly the four of them heard footstep coming their way and they realized that it was Mr. Sweet. The four of them quickly hid in their lockers. When Mr. Sweet had passed the club, they carefully opened their doors a bit, just enough to peak.
"If he stays there like that we'll never get past him," said Nina.
"This is ridiculous, we're locked up in school," said Patricia
"I know right. During the day we've no choice, but at night, it's not okay," said Aaron.
"Aaron you genius. That's it," said Fabian.
"What is it?" Asked Aaron.
"Locked up. Listen up, I've an idea," said Fabian.
Suddenly, Mr. Sweet turned, the club closing their locker doors quickly and as gently as possible. Mr. Sweet aimed his flashlight at the lockers. When he saw or heard nothing, he walked down the hallway to continue his inspecting round. The club carefully got out of their lockers and huddled together.
"Okay why am I a genius, according to you?" Asked Aaron.
"We gotta lock Mr. Sweet in his office, said Fabian.
"Okay and then what? Asked Aaron.
"Then he will call Victor for help. And then Victor will come to the school to free him and when we go back to the house, we don't need to be worried about Victor catching us," said Fabian.
"Sounds like a good plan," said Nina.
"Yeah, but first we gotta get him into his office," said Patricia.
"How are we going to do that?" Asked Aaron.
"Leave that up to me," said Fabian.
Fabian grabbed is phone and called Mr. Sweet's office. Mr. Sweet heard his phone ring and walked to his office. Mr. Sweet answered the phone, but no one answered. Meanwhile, Aaron and Patricia had sneaked up to Mr. Sweet's office. Patricia quietly closed the door and Aaron put a broom in the door handle so that Mr. Sweet couldn't get out. Aaron and Patricia gave the signal to Nina and Fabian that they could leave. Nina and Fabian left as fast as they could the building. Aaron and Patricia stayed close to Mr. Sweet's office to guard the door.
In the meantime in the history classroom. Jerome woke Alfie by kicking him on his side.
"Ouch!" Said Alfie
"Shh. Be quiet," said Jerome
"Why are you kicking me?" Asked Alfie.
"Because I had to wake you up," said Jerome.
"What is it?" Asked Alfie.
"Fabian and Aaron are gone and I think the rest of your little club will be too," said Jerome.
"Where to?" Asked Alfie.
"You're going to find out for me now," said Jerome.
Alfie grabbed his fleece jacket and his shoes left the history room to see what the club was doing.
In the meantime, Nina and Fabian had managed to escape from the school.
"Yes! We're out," said Nina.
"We did it," said Fabian
Nina and Fabian hugged each other. When they let go, Fabian noticed that Nina was shivering.
"Are you cold?" Asked Fabian.
"Yeah, a little bit. I forgot my robe inside," said Nina.
"Here take mine," said Fabian.
Fabian took off his robe and put it on Nina.
"Okay, if everything goes according to plan, Mr. Sweet will now call Victor. And Victor leaves the house to free Mr. Sweet," said Fabian.
"Stupid to realize this now, but what if he doesn't. What if Mr. Sweet calls Mrs. Andrews or the janitor," said Nina.
"Oh no. I didn't even think about that. That is indeed a great risk," said Fabian.
"What do we have to do to get Victor out of the house?" Asked Nina.
"Wait I've an idea," said Fabian.
"What is your idea?" Asked Nina.
"I call Victor's office and I pretend to be Mr. Sweet and then I tell him to come to school," said Fabian.
"No wait, text Aaron and tell him your plan and that he has to do it. Aaron does a better Mr. Sweet imitation then you do," said Nina.
"Yes that is true. I'll text him then," said Fabian.
Fabian texted Aaron with the plan. Fabian put his phone away and he and Nina went to Anubis house. Aaron received the text and read it. Aaron showed the text to Patricia. Aaron took a deep breath and called the house.
Back at the house. Victor had finished searching all the rooms and went back to his office. When Victor entered his office, his phone rang. Victor answered the phone.
"Victor Rodenmaar speaking," said Victor.
"Yeah Victor, it's me Eric. Victor what happened to me now, it's unbelievable. I locked myself in my office. And I can't reach anyone else," said Aaron, while doing his best impersonation of Mr. Sweet.
"I get it. I'll be right there," said Victor.
Aaron hung up the phone and he gave Patricia a high five. Patricia texted Nina that the plan to lure Victor from the house had worked.
At the same time. Victor had a strange feeling after the phone call. Victor called Mr. Sweet's office.
Back in Mr. Sweet's office. Mr. Sweet was still trying to open the door, but it didn't work. Mr. Sweet was all sweaty and scared. Then the phone rang. Mr. Sweet answered the phone.
"Eric Sweet," said Mr. Sweet.
"Ah Eric," said Victor.
"Victor, the lock fell in the door, um, the door locked. I've closed in myself. I can't get out anymore. Come as soon as possible. I'm going crazier and crazier by the minute if I stay locked up in this office for too long," said Mr. Sweet.
Mr. Sweet hung up the phone and tried to open his door again, but still couldn't. Aaron and Patricia were outside the office and saw the door handle move back and forth, so they knew Mr. Sweet was trying to open the door. The two were happy that thier plan was going according to plan.
In the meantime, Nina and Fabian had arrived at the house and the two entered the house. It was pitch black. Now Fabian was the one shivering form the cold.
"It's so dark in here," said Nina.
"I think he's gone," said Fabian.
"Do you want your robe back?" Asked Nina.
"Shh, I think I hear something," said Fabian.
"Victor is still here," said Nina.
"And he's coming downstairs," said Fabian.
Nina and Fabian quickly hid in the living room. Fabian pressed himself. against the wall and held Nina tightly. Victor walked downstairs with his tool box. Victor was just about to walk out the door when he turned and headed toward the living room. Nina and Fabian held their breath, hoping Victor wouldn't catch them.
