Chapter 23

The same night, my sister and I sneaked out of the school and went to Jericho police's offices in midnight, and it was all empty! We put thing to enter through the opened window, and then he opened the door for us! When we entered the place was quiet and empty, and I opened my torch and thing had put gum in all the cameras! My sister ςεντ to enter but I stopped her 

Y/n: We don't know if there are any traps in here!

I said whispering and she scoffed 

Wednesday: Those normies are too stupid to put a trap 

She said and when she stepped into something a flying arrow came towards us and we both fell on the floor 

Wednesday: Guess I misjudge them 

She said with an annoyed face, and then thing went and turned off all the traps before we walk inside! We found the room where all the files were kept, but it was locked!

Y/n: Great, we didn't bring anything to open this thing 

I said and then my sister looked at the ceiling with a smile on her face and when I looked up there was an opened airway I looked at it in horror because it was too small! 

Wednesday: Are you claustrophobic? 

Y/n: No of course not, but I am way taller than you, so there is no way I fit there 

I said, and she glared at me before she sighed! That was true, I was the tall one among us, and something I always brag to her about it 

Wednesday: Whatever, just help me get into that 

She said, and I put my hand, then she put her foot on it and helped her get into the airway while I was waiting for her to open the door 

Wednesday: I can't find the key 

She said from behind the door! 

Y/n: Okay, just find the files and get the hell out of there 

I said before she agreed and started looking, but then I heard the front door close 

Y/n: Someone is here hide 

I said and went and hid behind a door while listening to the people's conversation! I couldn't see their faces, but I only could hear the voices, and it was hard for me to get who they were! The voices were familiar but still couldn't think of anyone 

Girl: Did you find my family's file? 

The girl's voice said, and I have to say that this voice reminded me of someone 

Boy: Yes, it is supposed to be in there, but I didn't know that it was locked 

He said trying to open the door, but he couldn't! I could hear him hitting the door to open 

Girl: Fine, but I want them by the morning! I don't want them to be in the wrong people's possession

The girl said before, I hear the footsteps getting more and more away from us! When I heard the door close I left the place where I was hidden and when to the room where I found the door opened with my sister standing there with the files 

Wednesday: I found the key behind a plant! These normies are more stupid than I thought 

She said, and I smirked while taking the files from her hands. When I opened them, I started reading for each member of the family 

Wednesday: Did you see who were these two people?

Y/n: I didn't see their faces, I just could hear their voices, but not clear enough to understand who they were! You?

I said, and she nodded negatively, and I continued reading when I found information that could be fascinating 

Y/n: Lauren Gates drowned herself, but the body was never found! Here it says that the police guessed that maybe she died! 

Wednesday: Remember what mom always used to say? 

Y/n: When there is smoke, there is always a fire 

I said, and then I pulled out of my pocket the ring that Pugsley found the day the burglar entered my parent's room 

Y/n: These are the same initials 

I said, and she looked at the ring before her eyes widened 

Wednesday: That means that Laurel Gates is alive, but the real question is who it can be. 

She said, and I looked on the floor trying to think of a suspect until thing came running to us telling us that the Serif had just come because he heard that someone had broken into the police office, and we left from the window behind the building which guides us to an abandoned field! We started walking back to Nevermore, processing all the things we just found out and trying to find a solution, but everything was ending up in a deadlock! 

Y/n: There is no way she is alive and if she is, why does she want to kill the outcasts? 

Wednesday: Weems told me that the Garrets were angry with the school because it was built in an area that belonged to them! They tried to prove it, but they couldn't 

I just don't get why people get so obsessed over money! I mean, my sister and I grew up in a wealthy family, but I never really cared about it! I just don't get it! When we arrived at the school and entered our dorm, Enid was already sleeping on her bed and when I went towards mine I found an envelope on it! When I opened it I realized it was from Xavier because of his handwriting, and it said:

I don't know where you are right now, but we need to talk asap! It's about my dreams again! I came to your dorm, and you weren't there, so I left this note. Please come as long as you read this...

Xavier 

When I finished reading it I throw the note on the floor and quickly took my bag 

Wednesday: Y/n we need to see if this-

She said, but before she was able to finish her sentence I was already out of our dorm running towards Xavier's dorm! But on my way there I bumped into Weems and I looked at her in horror 

Weems: Where do you think you are going, Miss Adams, at this hour?

She said showing me her clock which showed three in the morning 

Y/n: I was sleepwalking, and I ended up here, so I was returning to my dorm 

I said with an innocent face, but she didn't look convinced 

Weems: Correct me if I am wrong, but as long as I know this is the way to boy's dorms 

Damn it! Don't you have a better thing to do at this kind of hour 

Y/n: Of course I know, I was just about to turn the corner toward my dorm 

I said, and she nodded knowing that I was lying to her, but then she started walking again before she stopped 

Weems: If you are going to see Mr. Thorpe, he is not in his dorm! He is in the nurse's room! He has been asking for you 

She said, not looking at me, and then continued walking!
