"It says Niwrag on the mailbox." Izzy said showing the boys.
"Come on and let's go upstairs." Caleb said already making his way up.
They reached the floor that Emmy lived on.
"Should we knock?" Reid asked looking at Izzy and Caleb.
"Might as well try." Caleb shrugged as Izzy balled a fist and rapped lightly on the door.
After a few tries no one answered.
"I guess we should just go in." Izzy said giving up on the knocking, she grabbing the door knob and turned. Surprisingly the door wasn't locked.
They entered the apartment.
Chapter 14:: Arguments
They entered the apartment, which was very clean and plain. There was hardly any furniture. Just one couch, a love seat, and a coffee table full of papers.
Caleb walked towards the papers and looked at them. "Look at this."
Izzy and Reid walked over to him, looking over his shoulder. "What?" Izzy asked.
"Look at the handwriting on most of these papers." Caleb handed her the papers.
"It's the same handwriting from the diary." Reid said gasping slightly.
"Izzy, do you have your purse on you?" Caleb asked.
"I always do." She said pointing to the brown bag on her arm.
"Put these in there. Maybe they'll have something we can use." He handed her the papers.
Reid went off into the bedroom, looking around. He found something lying on the floor. To him it was just a piece of crumpled up paper. He picked it up, looking for a trash can. When he could find one he placed it in his pocket.
Caleb went off into the kitchen. He opened the fridge. "Hmm. That's odd." He said noticing there was no food. He looked in most of the cabinets and found very few dishes.
"Oooh." He said shivering. A sudden chill ran up his spine.
Izzy found a closet that was in the hallway between the bedroom and bathroom. She opened it to find something black hanging in the closet.
She tilted her head in confusion. She blinked and gasped when she noticed that whatever it was hanging in the closet was gone.
All three of the met back in the living room.
"Did you find anything?" Caleb asked the two.
"I didn't find anything in the bedroom. Not even clothes." Reid answered.
"There was something black hanging in the closet, but when I took a double take it was gone." Izzy told them shrugging.
"What about you Caleb?" Reid asked.
"Well, I checked out the kitchen and it was odd. There was no food in the fridge, hardly any dishes either."
"Huh." The three of them heard a click from next door.
"We'd better go." Caleb said making his way at the door. "Let's go to my house and look at those papers."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They made there way quickly out of the apartment building and drove to the Caleb's house.
Standing in the kitchen, Izzy pulled the papers out of her purse. She laid them on the table.
"Anyone hungry?" Izzy asked looking at the two.
"I'm starving." Reid practically shouted.
"Maybe you should slow down on the food babe, your getting at little tubby." Reid scowled at Caleb who just laughed, "Izzy, do you usually cook for yourself a lot?"
"Yeah. My father works a lot, so I fend for myself most of the time." Izzy said looking in the fridge.
"What about your mom?" Caleb asked.
"She works a lot too." Izzy had pulled out some leftovers.
"Do you want me to fix anything?" Caleb asked looking towards the stove.
"Um." Izzy thought a moment.
"Trust me you'll want him to cook." Reid smiled at Caleb, forgetting about the tubby comment.
"Okay." Izzy grinned moving out the way.
"You two go ahead and look at the papers. What I'm making is only going to take a few minutes." Caleb smiling looking through cabinets.
Izzy sat beside Reid on a stool at the table. She unfolded the papers, looking at them.
Toilet Paper
Bologna
Oranges
Bread
Izzy scowled, "Well, we know she eats."
"What else is there?" Reid asked taking the grocery list and placing it aside.
"Um, this one is a bill." Izzy frowned throwing it towards the grocery list.
"I hope she didn't need that." Reid chuckled softly.
"Wait, Reid, look at this. It's a letter." Izzy shoved a piece of white paper towards Reid.
He noticed that it was a typed letter.
Emmy,
I hope everything is going well and that you are traveling around safely. I haven't heard from you in awhile and I'm starting to get a little bit worried.
You're my big sissy and I would be hurt if I found out that you were hurt while trying to figure stuff out.
Get back to me soon or I'll go look for you.
Yours truly,
I.G.D
"I'm so confused right now." Reid said slamming his head down.
"Are we sure we should be looking for this Emmy girl?" Izzy asked.
"What do you mean?"
"What about this I.G.D that we keep coming across?" Izzy said looking at Reid.
"What about it? I mean, it's definitely someone's initials." Reid said looking at the letter again.
"We also saw it on the picture." Izzy said remembering. 'What does it stand for?' She thought to herself.
"Okay, I'm done." Caleb said coming to the table with two bowls placing in front of Reid and Izzy.
Izzy grinned widely as she smiled a spicy tang in the air, "What is it?"
"I only had a few ingredients to work with. I found my mothers left over chili in the fridge. I added some meat and spices. So, I hope you like spicy food." Caleb smiled, he got his bowl and put it in front of himself.
Reid frowned slightly knowing that he really shouldn't eat the chili, but Caleb's cooking was the best and he wasn't going to miss out on anything.
Izzy and Reid took a spoonful at once. Caleb watched as both of their faces turned red, and tears can to their eyes.
"I told you it was spicy." Caleb laughed standing up and grabbing the jug of milk in the fridge. He poured them two glasses, which they devoured quickly. He put the milk back in the fridge and grabbed the bottle of ketchup.
He poured a little bit into their bowls, taking a spoon and stirred it.
"That should cool it down." Caleb smiled.
They took another bite and smiled.
"I love it." Reid said leaning over and pecking Caleb on the lips.
"I like it, but I'm not going to kiss you." Izzy laughed.
"So, what did you find?" Caleb asked looking down at the papers spread across the table.
Reid swallowed a mouth full of chili before answering, "Well, there was a letter. Something from I.G.D."
"What did it say?"
"The person I.G.D, was worried about Emmy. They said something about how Emmy was traveling around, and how I.G.D wanted her to be safe."
Izzy gasped, "Oh, and it said something about Emmy being this I.G…whatever person's big sister."
"Hmm. This is weird." Caleb said frowning. "It's like were getting no where."
Reid looked at the grocery list, "Well, we know that Emmy has to be the person who wrote the diary."
"Yeah." Caleb and Izzy said in unison.
"Wait, so we know that the person Emmy is the one who wrote the diary. Earlier we said that the person who wrote the diary was able to time travel. So, what if this I.G.D is someone from the future?" Caleb asked looking at the Izzy.
"Yeah." Izzy agreed. "Hmm, but what can we do about…"
Reid's face turned slightly green. He shot up from his seat and ran to the closest bathroom.
Caleb followed after him. "Izzy, I'm getting worried." He said as he saw her follow him.
"I wouldn't worry too much." Izzy said reassuring Caleb.
"Izzy, you've been saying that a lot. Do you know something I don't know?" Caleb asked staring at Izzy suspiciously.
"No. Trust me." Izzy said holding up her hands.
"Go in the kitchen and finish your chili. I need to talk to Reid." Caleb said sternly.
"Okay." Izzy walked back into the kitchen.
Caleb waited until his saw Reid come out the bathroom wiping his mouth.
"Reid, what's going?" Caleb asked, his hands on his hips.
"I told you, it's probably the stomach flu." Reid said avoiding eye contact.
"Reid, if I can't trust you to tell me what's wrong how can I believe you when you saw you love me?" Caleb asked.
"What? Caleb, you know that I love you." Reid cried.
"If you did you'd tell me what the hell is going on."
"Caleb, I can't." Reid said reaching out for Caleb's hand. Caleb backed up.
"Then until you can, we're done." Caleb said, not an expression on his face. He walked back into the kitchen where Izzy was listening intently.
Reid stood there tears running down his face. 'What just happened?' Reid thought to himself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izzy expected Reid to come back into the kitchen. She expected him to run in and tell Caleb his secret, and then they'd be back together.
Boom. The front door slammed shut. You could hear fast foot steps running down the porch steps. After about a few seconds, Izzy heard Reid's car start. You could hear him speed out of the driveway.
"He'll be back." Caleb said as he noticed the worried expression on Izzy's face.
"Okay." Izzy nodded finishing her chili.
BBrinng. Brring. The house phone rang breaking the eerie silence. Caleb looked over at Izzy.
"Should I answer it?" Caleb asked.
"Yeah." Izzy nodded.
Caleb got up from the table and picked up the phone, "Hello?"
