CHAPTER 12 OF ANYTHING THIEVES CAN DO SPIES CAN DO BETTER!
Hale POV
So the morning turned out to hold many surprises. First came Arianna leaving, we all knew it would happen but the way she tried to rush out of the house confused me. Also she seemed to be staring at Simon like she knew he'd been on her computer. There's no way she could've known, she probably thought he may be cute or something I don't know girl stuff.
Then when I tried to grab her hand to say something to her I was judo flipped over her shoulder on to the ground. The world really turned and I saw the ceiling grow farther away as my body fell to the floor.
Kat and the Crew were all staring at me or Arianna in shock. You don't typically see a petite girl flip a big muscular guy like me. How did she even manage to do this? Her small frame and arms made it seem unlikely that she could lift most things. She somehow pulled some hidden strength out and flipped me.
Needless to say my back was shooting with pain. My face grimaced and I winced as the jolts of fire burning pain shot like rollercoaster up and down my spine. I was surprised I didn't break anything.
My eyes tightened as I held my and to my back in agony. My senses became hazy and it took me sometime to register what everyone was saying. The Bagshaws were stating how "awesome and amazing" the move was.
Simon was freaking out thinking I was dying and they'd have to hide my body. (Why is he here again?)
Gabrielle was throwing curses at Arianna and was getting mad. She complained about her coming in and causing us pain when we did nothing but take of her. Though I'm pretty sure I was the only one in pain here.
Arianna was worried and ignored everyone and kept apologizing to me. It was obvious she had intent on flipping me but it seemed almost like an instinct and that she was protecting herself. Something must've happened to her before she came here that made her so paranoid she'd flip someone for touching her.
I stared at her face and saw the worry etched onto it. She did look pretty I will admit. Her eyes were a pretty sea green and her hair was dark, darker than Kat's, it seemed almost like ebony. She had slight freckles darting around her face. You couldn't tell though, you had to be really focusing on her face to see them. Not a blemish was on her and her teeth were straight, white, and perfect like she was friends with a dentist kid.
I then remembered the picture we had found earlier. If it was true that Arianna's appearance wasn't hers I wondered what she looked like really. I searched my brain for the picture from last night and faded everyone but the girl in front of me out.
I saw her light brown hair and picture it on Arianna. The color fit on her even more than the black hair did. Like it was a natural look that you couldn't get from disguise but had to be born with. I knew right then that the girl was Arianna, to be sure I decided to finish the puzzle and add the eyes.
The green eyes in my view faded away and changed to a mixture of brown, blue, and green. Looking closely I noticed a hint of violet that just stood out making her eyes pop. But then when I looked again she looked average. There wasn't much special, she was a typical brown haired girl with pretty eyes. To me she looked even more beautiful as herself then the Arianna we'd all met.
I figured that was probably her look before she broke from her family. Why change such a beautiful look if you asked me.
I closed my eyes again and when I opened them Kat was crouched in front of my face. I could see her fine detail of her face too. I brought my hand and tucked the single dark strand of hair behind her ear. Her bright blue eyes gazed down at me with love and worry beyond the barrier she set up.
I had met Katarina Bishop when she was about 12 years old. Since then I'd been invited into a family where you meant more than the job. They cared for you and took the time to analyze everything about you. Sure it was probably to see what your role would be in a heist, but not all the time. Sometimes it was for the purpose of getting to know you.
My real family never took the time to know me. If they did then they would know that almost every few months I was planning a heist that could lead to jail in a second. Kat knew everything I wanted her to know and something's I didn't. She knew privacy though; she knew I didn't talk about my family much so she didn't pester me about them.
My real name is a different story though. She was my best friend and girlfriend who I trusted.
I tried comparing her to Arianna, but I didn't know which one to compare too. Should I compare her to the dark-haired one apologizing or the brown-haired one smiling on the beach?
I shook my head realizing where my thoughts had drifted to. I'd been trying to compare my best-friend/girlfriend to girl who spent the night with secrets lying under her.
I smiled at Kat then Arianna and she looked surprised. You don't typically smile at the girl who just proved she's stronger than you.
Her apologies stopped and so did everyone's voices when I took her outstretched hand and stood up. She let go when she knew I was steady on my feet. She gazed at each of once more before darting towards the door.
Timed seemed to slow down as the scene unfolded in front of my eyes.
Uncle Eddie had decided at time to come home. The moment he got there he swung the door thus causing it to hit Arianna right in the forehead. Her body repelled back an inch her two and she put her hand on her forehead before she fell to the floor.
The crew and I screamed as her body smacked to the floor like mine had. Only I stayed awake when I fell, her eyes had blinked as she looked at Uncle Eddie before they shut and her body fell limp. We were all shocked as to what happened.
Uncle Eddie looked down at her in bewilderment, and it's hard to cause that expression on his face. Kat and I unfroze from our shock and rushed onto our knees checking her condition.
Gabrielle looked upset but you could see she was slightly happy of the accident. The Bagshaws and Simon were all shocked still. They left abruptly saying they get the couch ready and some water.
Uncle Eddie bent down and checked the girl himself. He hit her face lightly and it just rolled over to the other side. He sighed standing up. Kat and I watched him enter his house and stop before the kitchen.
"Bring her in, we will talk about this." The first words he said today filled our brains and we looked at his retreating form.
Kat stood up and waited for me. I looked down at Arianna and was able to see her petite form again. It looked like she hadn't eaten in a while or she was naturally skinny. I picked her up making sure her head didn't loll back. She seemed to fit in my arms like a small child would.
I walked behind Kat holding the unconscious girl in my arms.
~~~~~~~~~FIRST LINE BREAK EVER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time had passed since we laid Arianna on the couch. We made sure to put a wet cloth on her head and lay blankets on her body. She seemed almost peaceful in her sleep. But the lines on her forehead showed she was anxious of something.
I entered the kitchen and sat in the chair next to Kat. Everyone was seated around Uncle Eddie who was at the head. I listened in as they all told him the accounts of last night regarding Arianna.
He listened intently and showed no facial expression as it continued. He stopped Simon at the part about the picture.
"Do you have a copy of this picture?" The question irrelevant. Uncle Eddie knew us and knew we wouldn't look at a picture without getting a copy of it.
I took the copy out of my pocket and handed it wordlessly him.
He gazed down at the photo and shook his eyes shined like I'd never seen them shine before. I tried to figure out what part of the photo he was gazing at and seemed weird that I found it out to be the boy holding Arianna.
"I know the ranch in this photo. I'm telling you this as warning. Get that girl out of here. As soon as she's well make sure she leaves. This is something none of you should have to deal with." His voice was hard and made me shock.
What did he mean we shouldn't deal with this. What was so wrong about the picture, and how did he know that ranch.
This opened up so many questions and mysteries revolving Uncle Eddie's past.
Even Kat was surprised. Nobody knew what sort of secrets were in Eddie's head but the fact that out all the ranches in the world he knew the one where this girl was staying at.
It seemed almost like a private cabin, so that meant he was connected to the owner of it in some way.
He stood up and walked towards the couch where I guest slept. We all followed him still silent trying to decipher the message we had just received.
He gazed down at sleeping face of our guest and shook his head. "This is more dangerous than you can imagine. More dangerous than Arturo Taccone. I'd advice you Simon to not pry into whatever clues you may have found."
Uncle Eddie then took the picture ripped up into shreds before burning with a lighter.
"Do not search for the answers Katarina. You won't like what you find, or what you don't." The cryptic voice of Uncle Eddie swept the room as he left for upstairs.
The room was silent nobody spoke. What could we do? I looked at the crew and none of them looked up. Everyone seemed to be on their own train of thoughts and wasn't going to get off soon.
"So what should we do now?" Gabrielle finally asked the question none of us knew the answer to.
"Let's wait for her to wake up an-" I was cut off by the sounds of groans appearing from the couch. We all froze and stared at the figure moving.
Green eyes soon slipped the cracks of her lids and Arianna blinked trying to focus them.
She tried to sit up before wincing and moved slower. With her right hand on her forehead she swung her legs around and planted them firmly on the floor.
She shook her head but then seemed to notice the tension that was in the air.
"What's going on?" Her voice was laced with sleep like she just woke up, which she did.
"Get out." All heads turned to Gabrielle. We knew she didn't like her but this was crazy.
"Get out, you were on your way out before and appear to be fine so leave." The hate was evident in her voice. She had been looking for a reason to get her out of the house and Uncle Eddie gave her one.
We couldn't tell her to stop, Uncle Eddie said for her to leave and that's what needed to be done.
Arianna looked around before grabbing her bags and heading towards the door.
She stopped and turned around with quick thank you and left.
We all sat down, though when I went to the couch I noticed under the pillow a note. In that note I saw the words Maybe next time. Everyone stared at the note in my hands and Kat lifted the pillow and we found a plastic bag under it. Inside were all the bugs, cameras, and wires we had installed in Arianna's room.
How had she known about them. We all sat there before I left my seat and ran towards the door. I saw the quick leaving form of the guest turn the corner and disappear. And ran out the door with the shouts of my crew behind me still at the door.
I saw Uncle Eddie at a window staring down at me, I turned away and followed the form of the mysterious Arianna.
