Disappearing Act Chapter 11
"What?" Chad asked in surprise.
"This is the man I have been seeing!" she said, holding the picture up so they could see. Ryan took it from her looking at it closely. He turned it over and noticed some writing in the corner.
"What is it?" Chad asked.
"The name is on the back of the picture," said Ryan. "Alejandro Malavochez!"
"This is Hernandez's brother?" Chad asked.
"He is the one that I have been seeing?" she asked. "But why?"
"I don't think that is a question that we can answer for you Gabriella," said Ryan. "But I bet that Hernandez could."
"How do we ask him about his brother, when we are not supposed to know who he is?" Gabriella asked.
"Thats a good question," said Chad. "It may not be as hard as you think."
"How is that?" Ryan asked.
"He loves to talk about himself," Chad explained. "He answers pretty much anything you ask and we may be able to stick questions we need to know into conversation."
"That could work," Gabriella stated. "So maybe we should find Hernandez."
"What about the key?" Ryan asked. "He may be wondering where it is."
"Toss it somewhere," said Chad. "He won't think anybody took it. He told me that his magic always misplaces things."
"How often have you been talking to him?" Ryan asked.
"Anytime I run into him," Chad replied. "He is kind of interesting. Especially when you just run into him. He always seems to be talking to himself. It's weird."
"He's always talking to himself?" Gabriella asked. "About what?"
"Some plan," said Chad. "You don't think that everyone disappearing is part of that plan do you?"
"He's a has been magician," Ryan stated. "Maybe this is a trick."
"A magic trick?" Gabriella asked. "You think he invited all of us here to try to show everyone he still has what it takes to be a big time magician. That's insane."
"Have you met Hernandez?" Chad asked. "The guy is insane. This is just the type of thing he would do to get back on top."
Gabriella began to walk out of the door when a figure appeared right in front of her. She screamed and backed away as it began to motion for her.
"I don't think that is Alejandro," Ryan stated.
The figure reached out for Gabriella and pointed to a notepad sitting on a nearby table. It walked over and motioned as if trying to write. Words began to appear on the notepad and then the figure disappeared. Gabriella slowly walked over to the pad and picked it up. She held it up so that Chad and Ryan could read it too.
"Help me," Ryan read out loud.
"We have to find out where everyone is," said Gabriella. "What if this isn't just a simple trick?"
"I think it's about time to talk to Hernandez," said Chad.
"No. . ," a voice echoed in the room.
The three of them looked around the room, but they were the only ones there. The voice echoed again, but they couldn't tell what it was trying to say. It was mumbled, but it appeared to be a womans voice.
" . . .stay . .away. . " the voice echoed.
"Stay away from what?" Chad asked.
"Who.. ." The voice answered.
"Who?" Ryan repeated confused.
"Evil . . . ," the voice faded away.
A/N: I actually intended this chapter to be longer, bit I like the ending. Muahaha. Anyway, I haven't updated this story in a while, and I intend to fix up the first few chapters. There are many errors since I started writing this a long time ago. Enjoy!
