≈Rory's P.O.V≈

I don't know who these people are that are inside my home but I do know I don't want to meet them.

Mr. Pancakes and I are in the 'panic room' listening to what's happening above.

"Where do you think she is?" We hear someone ask

"I don't know but we gotta find her. She never leaves the damn house." Says another

"Fine." Says the first voice.

I hear something shuffle beside and feel Chase get a little closer to me. "Do you recognize the voices?" He asked me. "Of course not you dumblebrain!" I yell at him. "Dang woman. I was just asking you question. And dumblebrain?? What the hell is that??"

I completely ignore him. I hear (don't know about Chase's hearing skills) the strange people up-stairs going through my room. Why could they possibly want me? Does my mom know them? I don't recognize their voices but maybe I met them once and don't remember. Ugh this is bugging me. I go back to my book to clear my head.

"'Not a tear and hardly a long face to be seen. Oh! No, we all felt that we were going to be only half a mile apart, and we're sure of meeting every day.' 'Dear Emma bears every thing so well,' said her father. 'But Mr Knightly, she is really very sorry to lose poor Miss Taylor, and I am sure she will miss her more than she thinks for.'
Emma turned away h—'"

"Hey, do you hear that?" Chase interrupts my reading. "Wha-

Suddenly I hear it, the scraping of my bed against the floor. Their coming down to the cellar; their going to be right above us.. the hinges squeak in protest from being opened. "I thought you said they couldn't get in here?" Chase asks me "They can't get in the panic room. Once I close it from the inside it can't be opened again unless with a special key." I responded. "Oh." That's what I thought Mr. Pancakes, I think smugly in my head.

We hear noise up there but can't tell what their doing. Sounds like their moving stuff around.

"Jackie, maybe the lady took her to work this morning."

"She didn't Tony. I was watching the house all morning. The girl never came out."

"What about the garage? Didn't you say she pulled her car in before she took off? Maybe the girl got in while it was in the garage." Tony says

"Why would she even take her anywhere? She has never left before all the other times." Jackie explains

"Then she's probably hiding somewhere we can't find her."

"Then what are we supposed to do?! Boss told us to come here and get the girl. Even told us about the space under her room! Why does he want her again?"

"He thinks she might be something 'special'. I don't what his reasons are that's just what he told us. Okay?"

"Yaya. okay, I hear ya. Let's go and tell the boss that the lady took her out today."

"Fine let's go. This room is creeping me out anyways." Jackie chuckles in the background. Then we hear them go back up to the main floor, check the rest of the house one more time and then they leave.

"Should we go up-side now?" Chase asks

"Not yet. 15 minutes."

*15 minutes later*

"Nowww can we go up there?" Chase asks once again for the 30th time.

"Yes! Okay yes! We can go up now." I yell at him.

"I was just asking a question.." he mutters under his breath.

"Whatever." I say as I left a part of the wall and press my hand to the screen that's underneath. "Woo.. so you hand is the special key?" "I'm not answering that." I respond. The far side of the wall opens up to revel some stairs.

We climb until we come to another wall. I lift a panel and position my right eye in front of it for it to scan. A door appears infornt of us and we step through so we're in the cellar now.

"I'm seriously considering moving into your house right now."

"Not happening."

A/N Sorry it's short ig.. but it's 701 words excluding my little note. So ig that okey. I knew what I wanted for this one so.. yeah. Okey Bye!!
