"My client will not answer that question" Aubrey stated, pointing a finger to Beca.

"But Rosalee, I am a respected journalist, this is a serious interview" Answered Beca.

"It is Miss Danvers for you. And no, such a question isn't right for a serious interview" Aubrey snapped back.

Amy was standing next to her, laughing. "It's ok dear manager" she said regaining her composure. "I've had 13 boyfriends. Write it down" Informed Amy to a smirking Beca.

Aubrey groaned and called for a lawyer.

"Maya Morello at your service, madam" Ashley answered Aubrey's call shaking her hand.

A few steps farther Emily, Flo, Lily and CR were animatedly talking.

"I've been in your hotel, it is beautiful" CR said to Emily.

"Amazing art on the walls" Added Lily.

"Thank you ladies, My hotel is the best and we are glad to have you as our elite guests whenever you like-" Emily was interrupted by Flo.

"I've heard your people are destroying part of the forest to build another hotel"

Emily, visibly touched and playing her role very well, reacted. "What? Those are lies, who told you that? We love and protect the environment"

And the last group of Bellas was still sitting at the table, drinking some tea.

"So how is your life, sis?" Chloe asked Jessica.

"Well I have been here and there... I don't like staying in one place for a long time. Now I am in auditions to become an actress" Jessica answered.

"That's great, I think CR is an actress too"

"No Natalie, she is a business woman. At least that's what I've heard from the higher sources, if you know what I mean" Stacy explained.

Chloe couldn't help a little laugh. Everyone was doing so well, she was impressed. To be the first time any of them was participating in one of these games, all of them were taking it very serious and playing their roles amazingly. She was having so much fun, specially watching Aubrey over there, trying to be Amy's manager. Standing up to walk there and use her psychology, she stopped her tracks when hearing a noise like glass breaking behind her. As Chloe turned around to see what happened, the lights went off.

Emily screamed in the darkness, Amy ran past Stacy almost making her fall from the chair, Aubrey cursed out loud.

After a few minutes the lights were on again. Their eyes took a moment to adjust again and look around. Nobody was exactly in the same place as before, all the Bellas moved while it was dark. All of them looked surprised, trying to find out who the organizer of this was by their expression. But no one had other expression than surprise.

Walking back to the table slowly, Chloe saw her tea cup was broken on the floor. She looked at Stacy who seemed equally shocked. Jessica had her eyes in something else, "What is this?" She asked grabbing envelopes that were piled on the table.

Each envelope had a name on them, the names of all the characters in the game. There was also an envelope that read Everybody. Aubrey was the first to reach it, and she read out loud:

A crime has been committed. There is something missing and the person who stole it is in this room, same as the object. Find them.

All eyes widened in excitement. "This is so cool!" Emily said, she couldn't help it.

"Cool? We're talking about a theft here. Let's read our envelopes to know how to proceed. No one can leave the room" Stacy stated, all transformed into a police officer.

After finding out the missing object was Beca's box, everybody switched into detective mode. Under the coordination of Polly, the police officer (Stacy) and Maya, the lawyer (Ashley) all the Bellas were called one by one, to the corner of the room where they were going to be questioned.

Chloe checked the information in her envelope once again before approaching the corner.

"Sit down, please" Stacy said pointing at a chair in front of her and Ashley.

"So, miss Natalie... where were you when the power stopped working?" Ashley asked.

"Well I was walking to check on Aubrey and Beca... sorry, to check on Rosalee and Alex"

"Why?"

"Well because one of them is my girlfriend and the other is my best friend"

"We didn't know miss Danvers was your best friend. Do you work together?" Stacy asked.

"No" Chloe answered simply.

"Did you see her arguing with your girlfriend?"

"Yes I did, that's why I was going there"

"Maybe you wanted to distract your girlfriend while your best friend stole her box?"

"What? No!" Chloe said, confused. Stacy was so good it was getting scary.

"Your girlfriend was standing next to you when the lights started working again, did you talk to her?" Ashley asked. She was also taking notes.

"No we didn't talk. I heard this noise behind me and it was my cup breaking. I didn't move"

"Do you have any idea who could have done it?" Stacy asked, more friendly now.

Chloe remembered her envelope, "Well maybe Miss McQuack, the owner of the hotel. My girlfriend Alex wrote an article about some stolen paintings there a few months ago. I don't know what was in the box though, and why she brought it here."

"Thank you Natalie, you can leave now. Ask miss McQuack to come here please" Ashley said.

Emily approached and sat on the empty chair to be questioned.

Ashley talked first, "Is it true you hate the journalist Evans for publishing the scandal about the paintings at your hotel?"

"Yes. But why would I steal something from her? I don't even know what's inside that box"

"I myself worked in the investigation in your hotel. Maybe Alex had some important files there and-" Stacy was interrupted.

"Look officer. For all I know, you could have done this to make me look guilty. I heard that cup breaking before it happened and you were sitting right next to it. Why isn't anyone questioning you? Emily snapped. Then she stood up and walked away offended.

That spring break had been a hell for Chloe. Not only the Bellas had lost their place for the Nationals, but Aubrey was angry with her and Beca didn't even belong to the group anymore. The Bellas a capella group was Chloe's family, they were her reason for keep holding on and going to Barden. They were all important but Beca... that small brunette DJ was Chloe's light. And she was gone. After she walked away at the Regionals Chloe and Beca had been texting every now and then. The texts have been friendly, Beca knew Chloe had nothing to do with what Aubrey said, but at the same time it wasn't the same anymore. And Chloe was angry.

In that hospital room after her surgery she didn't have much to do so her mind kept thinking and thinking about it. She couldn't talk either which was most frustrating. Chloe loves talking. Her yellow cup was next to her with some roses her grandmother sent. She was the only one Chloe told about her decision to take away her nodes. The only one in her family who could understand completely how hard it was for her, because maybe... maybe Chloe could never sing again.

Her mind was tired of thinking and was starting to tell her to let go. Find another hobby, find another love... after all, everything had changed. She should probably change too.

The door opened and a nurse came in holding a girl by the hand, guiding her to the bed next to Chloe's. It really wasn't a good moment because she was letting some tears out. The nurse gave her an apologetic look, closed her curtains and walked away.

As soon as the door was shut again, the girl opened Chloe's curtains. "Hello" She said with a smile. "Why are you crying?"

Chloe couldn't help smiling back and signaled for the girl to understand she couldn't use her voice.

"Oh I see, you must be a singer. Mummy told me singers get the voice tired sometimes. I love singing and it happens to me. Are you famous?" The girl asked.

Chloe shook her head with a bigger smile. Another tear escaped her eye.

"It's ok don't cry, you are so pretty and good singer I bet. You will be famous someday" The little girl squeezed Chloe's hand gently. "My name is Beca, by the way. What's yours?" she added.

A few minutes later, Chloe got a text saying the Bellas were back on track and knew exactly what to do. She texted Beca, her Beca, to take back her place.
