CHAPTER 7:The Mission
School had finished for the week and students were headed towards their lockers. Robbie and Sinjin were both looking out for Cat, conversing along the way.
"Look, Cat going to her locker. Start following once she's left the building", Sinjin said sternly
"Yes sir", Robbie replied
As Cat was leaving the school grounds, Robbie and Sinjin subtly followed her, making sure they were far behind Cat. Once Cat had gotten on her pink bike, they both got into Sinjin's car and traveled to Cat's house, pulling aside frequently, ensuring Cat had caught up.
Sinjin had successfully driven to Cat's house without her knowledge. He handed Robbie a spare pair of binoculars he had kept in his car.
"Now go and hide behind that bush over there. I'll hide in that tree and watch Cat while she's upstairs. We'll keep in contact. Text me whenever something happens, okay?", he asked
"We've got this!", Robbie replied, bumping fists with Sinjin
Robbie and Sinjin made their way to Cat's home, hiding. Robbie could see the kitchen and living area, while Sinjin could see Cats bedroom and ensuite. They texted each other constantly, communicating what they had discovered.

SINJIN: Cat's room is very pink and girly with a lot of stuff. Her parents must spoil her.
ROBBIE: Maybe that's why she's so emotional. She's probably starting to realise she has to make her own way in life. That must be overwhelming for her.
SINJIN: Actually, you could very well be right. But don't jump to conclusions yet. We're yet to find out more.
You see anything?
ROBBIE: Yes. I see Cat talking to her mom. They seem pretty happy.
SINJIN: Is anyone else around?
ROBBIE: Nope. Just their pet dog.
SINJIN: Ironic. Cat has a dog.
ROBBIE: Yeah. Is anyone upstairs?
SINJIN: Nope
ROBBIE: Oh! Cat's going upstairs!
SINJIN: Yes!
She's here now!
Cat just threw her bag on her bed. She doesn't look happy.
ROBBIE: Hmm. Maybe her mom expects too much from her. Cat kept nodding at her mom before, as if she was constantly being told what to do.
SINJIN: Oh darn! She just closed her curtains!
ROBBIE: Well, can you see any of the other rooms?
SINJIN: I can see Cats ensuite, but the windows make the view quite fuzzy.
ROBBIE: Good. She has to enter the bathroom at some point.
TEXTING ENDS *
Half an hour later, Robbie and Sinjin still hadn't seen anyone in the Valentine household. Meanwhile, Cat's mom entered the living area in a fancy dress, wearing heavy make up. She yelled towards the staircase, supposedly calling Cat to come down.
As an unfamiliar girl made her way down stairs, Robbie could not believe his eyes. The redheaded girl who loved to smile and wore bright colours was no where to be seen. Instead, Robbie was seeing a brunette girl wearing a long, black coat. From what he could see, she sort of resembled Cat.
TEXT MESSAGES *
ROBBIE: OMG! Cat has a sister!
SINJIN: And Cat never talked about her?
ROBBIE: Nope. And I haven't seen her brother at all.
SINJIN: Ooh! This is getting good!
ROBBIE: Do you see Cat? She hasn't come down yet.
SINJIN: No.
ROBBIE: Damn! What could she possibly be doing for an hour that's so personal she has to close the curtains?
SINJIN: Getting ready for the night out?
ROBBIE: But it shouldn't take this long!
SINJIN: You know what some girls are like.
ROBBIE: They're leaving now!
SINJIN: Without Cat?
ROBBIE: Those jerks!
TEXTING ENDS *
As this mysterious girl, who's supposedly the sister left the house with Cat's mom, Robbie and Sinjin got a much closer, clearer look at the two. They couldn't believe their eyes.
"Oh my gosh! It's Ariana Grace!", Robbie exclaimed, soon realising he had said that out loud
