Chapter 5: In the walls
Please be okay, Trina. Please be okay. Tori thought as she and the others followed Basil across the living room. She was getting more worried about her older sister by the minute. She thought of what Ratigan was doing to her, and shuddered.
"Now children." Basil announced, snapping Tori out of her thoughts. "I believe that Ratigan has taken Miss Vitchs-"
"Vega." Tori corrected him yet again.
"Whatever. As I was saying, I believe that Ratigan has taken your sister inside the walls of this house. We will have to explore them."
"But how will we get into the walls?" Tori asked. Basil gestured over to an outlet. The teens watched as he walked over to the outlet and pushed it over, revealing a hole behind it. "Wow." Cat giggled. "I didn't know your house had a secret passage way, Tori."
"Neither did I. No wonder that outlet wouldn't work." Tori replied. "Come on, now. We must not dilly dally. Ladies first." Basil said, stepping inside so the girls could walk in. Cat, still holding Olivia, went first, then Tori, and then Jade. The boys went when after them, and Basil walked in last, closed the entrance, but not before looking around.
To Tori, the inside of the walls were very long. Like hallways. They were sort of dark, too. Basil had made his way to the front to lead the teens through the walls of the Vega house. Beck had held on to Jade's to hand so she'd stay close to him. He was afraid of losing her, so he wanted to make sure she was close.
Robbie was walking behind Cat, to make sure that she was close as well. Lately, he had been having some sort of feelings for the little red head. He cared for her a lot, and he wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to her.
Andre was also walking close to Tori. She was his best friend. He didn't love her in a romantic way, just a friendship way. She was like a sibling to him. Not entirely, but still. He wanted to make sure she was also safe. Trina would want him to protect her little sister, and he knew it.
The detective, the teens, and little Olivia continued to walk. The more they ventured deeper into the walls, the stranger it seems. Tori got nervous as it had gotten dark and darker. She was glad that she wasn't alone, though.
Basil had turned on a flashlight, to light up their path. Tori was relieved. It was lighter again. Soon, the group came across four tunnels. "Alright, children. It looks like we have too choices: Split up or continue to stay together." Basil announced.
"I don't care which one we do. All I know is, I'm staying with Beck, no matter what." Jade stated, giving Beck a kiss on his cheek. "Well, I don't want to be alone." Tori said. "Neither do I." Cat added.
"Alright then, we shall split up. Miss Valentine with Shapiro, Miss West with Oliver, Miss Valls with Harris-"
"Vega." Tori corrected yet again.
"Whatever. And Miss Flatcher-Hatcher-"
"Flaversham." Olivia also corrected him.
"Whatever. You will be with me. Now you all have to make sure your partner and you stay together. Keep a close eye on one another, and don't let each other out of your sight. Boys, you will be in charge of protecting the girls. Am I clear?"
"Yes, Mr. Basil." The boys agreed in unison.
"Good. Now, let's be off." Basil announced. With that, the gang split up. Beck was still holding Jade's hand. Robbie had Cat in front of him so she wouldn't get lost behind him. Andre had Tori close to him, and Basil also had Olivia by the hand. When they walked through the tunnels, they realized that there was no turning back...
With Beck and Jade...
"Remember, babe. We have to stay close together. I don't want to lose you." Beck said as he and his girlfriend walked down the tunnel they chose to go in. "I think I already know that." Jade said sarcastically. Beck chuckled, and they kept on going. They had used their phones to provide some light for them, and it worked. The phones lit up their entire path.
Suddenly, the couple heard a cackling sound. Jade gasped, and stood closer to Beck. "What was that?" Beck shrugged. "I don't know. But don't worry. I'm right here. I won't let anything get you." he assured her. But still, Jade was still uneasy. "Yeah you better not. Or else you'll have to save me."
Beck grinned, and the couple continued to walk down the long tunnel. Another cackling sound. Jade yelped, and turned around. "I could've sworn I heard that laugh behind us."
"I don't see anything." Beck said, also looking behind him.
"But there had to be. I know it."
"Don't worry. As long as we're both together, nothing can pull us apart."
When Beck said that, a large and dark figure appeared in front of the couple, smirking evilly.
"Oh but I can."
Jade screamed in fright, and Beck held her protectively, and said one word.
"Ratigan."
With Cat and Robbie...
"We're on a hunt. A Trina hunt." Cat giggled as she and Robbie walked down the tunnel they choose to go down. Robbie chuckled as he watched Cat skip ahead of him. He was glad that she wasn't afraid, but he himself was a bit nervous about going down these long hallways. He may have had his phone to provide light for him, but still.
As they continued on, Cat seemed to have skipped faster and faster ahead of Robbie. "Slow down, Cat. Basil doesn't want us to be separated. We have to say together." Robbie called to her. But Cat didn't seem to hear him as she continued to skip ahead. Robbie sighed as he began to walk faster to make sure that Cat didn't get away from him.
After a few minutes of walking, Robbie stopped to see that Cat was nowhere to be found. He sighed again. "Cat? Where are you? Please don't try to scare me, okay? We have to stay together. I have to protect you." No response. Robbie moaned. If Basil found out he lost Cat, the detective would surely be furious. If Jade found out, she would be pissed. "Please Cat. Come back." He whispered.
Suddenly, there was a high pitched scream that Robbie could identify as Cat. "CAT!" he yelled, now running. The tunnel seemed to have gotten deeper and deeper, for Robbie could not find the red head anywhere. "Cat! Where are you?" he yelled again. He heard another scream, and Cat yelling: "NO! Leave me alone you ugly bat thing. Let me go!"
Robbie was confused. Ugly bat thing? What did she mean by that?
"Hang on, Cat! I'm coming to save you." Robbie called as he continued to run.
"If I don't find her, Basil's gonna kill me. But not if Jade does it first."
With Tori and Andre...
"Don't worry, chica. Trina will be fine. She's strong." Andre assured his best friend, who was still worrying about her sister.
"I'm just afraid that Ratigan going to do something awful to her." Tori replied. "What if he gets me too?"
Andre put an arm around Tori. "Relax. I won't let him get you."
"Please try not to."
The two best friends continued to walk down the tunnel. They too had their phones to assist them with some light. As they got further, Tori began to wonder if they were being followed. She had the feeling that it was Ratigan, coming to get her. But she knew that Andre would save her if the rat did try to take her, no matter what.
Suddenly, the two heard snickering behind them. They both jumped and turned around, but saw nothing. Nothing at all. "I'm sure it was just the wind." Andre tried to reassure Tori, who frowned. "We're in the walls of my house, Andre. How can the wind come through?" she asked sarcastically.
Andre shrugged. "I don't know. It was just a thought. Come on. We need to keep going. Who knows, maybe we might find Trina."
Tori grinned a bit, and they continued to walk. More snickering behind them. They tried their best to ignore it, but it only got louder and louder. That's when they realized that someone, or something was following them.
"Andre... I'm scared." Tori whimpered.
"It'll be alright." Andre assured her once again.
Suddenly, three figures jumped in front of them. Tori shrieked, and held onto Andre, who wrapped his arms around her protectively. The figures advanced towards them, and Tori and Andre stepped back. "What do you guys want?" Andre asked. One of them spoke. "The boss wants the girl."
Tori gasped. "W-W-What does your boss want me for?"
"If you come with us, you'll find out."
"Hey! I'm not gonna let you take Tori." Andre said, shielding Tori away from the three figures.
The three figures sneered. "We'll see about that..."
With Basil and Olivia...
"Mr. Basil. Do you think we're going to find Trina?" The little eight-year-old Scottish girl asked the detective.
"I'm sure we will, Miss Flanshan." Basil replied.
"Flaversham."
"Whatever."
The two mice were walking down tunnel they chose to go down. Basil still had Olivia by the hand, and his flashlight in the other. Before they left London, Basil had vowed to keep a close eye on Olivia for her father. Olivia had always wanted to go to America, especially California. Ever since she found out about the mystery Basil was asked to solve, she begged for him to take her with him. Her father approved, but Basil didn't. Fortunately for her, he gave in.
"Where do you think Ratigan took her?" Olivia asked again. Basil just shrugged. "I'm not sure, darling. But where ever Miss Vattens is, it can't be good. But I hope the other children may find her, especially her dear sister."
Little did the mice know, that the teens were having troubles. As they continued on, they had the feeling that something was wrong. As if... someone was in trouble. Then, they heard shouting. "What was that, Mr. Basil?" Olivia asked nervously. "I'm not sure, dear. But I can tell that it isn't good." Basil replied.
All of a sudden, Andre, Robbie, and Beck came running up behind him, all very worried. "Basil! Basil! It's terrible."
"What is it, boys?" Basil asked. "And where are the girls?"
All three boys hung their heads in guilt. "That's exactly what happened." Andre replied. "The girls... they're gone."
"What?!" Basil exclaimed in disbelief. "Didn't I specifically warn you boys to protect them?"
"Yes, it wasn't our faults." Beck stated. "Jade was kidnapped by Ratigan."
"Cat was taken by what she called a 'ugly bat thing'." Robbie added.
"And Tori was snatched by three dudes that looked like thugs." Andre finished.
Basil was once again taking notes. He knew very well that the 'ugly bat thing' and the thugs worked for Ratigan. But what he didn't know was what the evil rat was going to do with the girls, and why. "Shapiro, that bat you mentioned, one Fidget by name, is under the employment of Ratigan. And those thugs you mentioned, Harris, are also under the employment of that fiend. It seems that Ratigan has all the girls now, but I'm not sure why he took them, and we have to find out."
"I hope the girls will be alright." Olivia hoped. "Don't worry, Livvy. The girls will be fine. Even with Ratigan." Andre assured the little girl. Olivia smiled a bit, and walked along with the boys down the tunnel. While doing so, the boys had one thing on their minds
Beck
Please, Jade. Please be okay. You're my girlfriend, and I love you. I don't know what I'd do without you. You're strong, baby. Maybe you can kick Ratigans butt. But please. Be okay, babe
Robbie
Cat, where ever you are, I hope you're okay. I hope that 'ugly bat thing' doesn't take a bite out of you. It would be strange if you turned into a vampire. But please. Be okay, Kitty.
Andre
Tori, your strong. So I know you'll be okay. You're my best friend, and you always help me. Who knows, maybe you'll find Trina somewhere. But please. Be okay, chica.
Nellie: Oh no! It looks like the rest of the girls got captured too. Hopefully, the boys, Basil, and Olivia will save them. This was a long one to do. I hope you enjoyed it, and review, please. Thank you.
