BECKETT HOUSE

The next day, I gently walks down the stairs and into the living room. My parents are in the kitchen.

My parents and I exchange looks at each other.

Catty (VO) Oh, crap. Might as well get it over with.

I slowly walks up to my parents across from the kitchen countertop.

"Alright, let me have it." I said to them both, preparing myself for a lecture.

"Firstly, you shouldn't have done what you did at the Blue Clam last night, Carmina. You know better than to do such a thing." said my Mom.

"And secondly, you're a young adult." My Dad said.

"Your father and I don't know why you did a strip tease pole dance, maybe, you did it because someone talked you into it, but please, don't do it again." My Mom said.

"I won't, that was just a one time thing." I said.

"Alright." My Mom said.

"Mom? Since you're a Special Agent, I was wondering if you have any information about Jade Ester?" I asked.

"Yeah, I do." My Mom said, reaching into her tote bag and takes out a file folder. "I made a copy for you."

I gently takes the file folder and looks at it.

"Jade Ester? Isn't she the young woman that caused the margarita Spice Jangle incident?" My Dad said.

"Yep." I said. I walks over to the staircase and sits on the stairs and reads Jade Ester's file.

Catty (VO) She was committed into the Wainecroft For Troubled Youth for two months where she slaughtered three women nuns and orderlies with a box-cutter having sociopathic tendencies. So, the headmistress, Miss. Wesson, had Jade transferred, but before, she could be transferred, Jade managed to escape by wearing an orderlies uniform.

After reading Jade's profile file, I gently close the file folder.

Catty (VO) So, I was right. I knew I had a bad feeling about Jade. She's not really a boarding school student at Providence, she's just posing as a boarding school student. And everyone at Providence Academy is in trouble.

THE HOLLOW WOODS

Later that day, with my Polaroid, I walks inside the woods, already knowing that I'm not supposed to go into the woods alone, but I'm conducting something.

But it's during the daytime, so, what the hell.

I look around at the woods and I come across a hideout door in the ground.

Confused, I crouched down and opens it. I look down inside the hideout.

A ladder is there.

Catty (VO) You know what they say, curiosity is the cat.

I step down into the hideout onto the ladder and gently closes the door above me.

I gently climbs down the ladder and lands on the floor of an entryway. I slowly walks into the entryway and finds a small dimly-lit room.

There are some fairy lights on the ceiling. A mini fridge. A mattress with a pillow and bedcover. And a table.

I look at the orderlies uniform on the table.

Catty (VO) This isn't just an underground bunker. This is Jade Ester's hideout from my parents.

"Got you, Jade." I said. And takes pictures of the hideout bunker.

THE CLUBHOUSE

That afternoon, I arrived at the clubhouse, looking around for the others.

"Catty?" Leigh Ann said.

I look at her. "Hey, Leigh Ann."

She glances at my Polaroid, I'm wearing around my neck.

"What are you up to now, CP?" Leigh Ann asked me.

"I'm gonna tell you, but not here with prying eyes and ears." I said.

shortly after . . .

Me, Leigh Ann, Sasha, Sebastian and Grayson had regrouped with each other in the lounge room.

I told them everything about what I've learned about Jade Ester and her hideout bunker.

"This is seriously messed up." Sasha said.

"Does Jade know that you've been onto her?" Leigh Ann asked.

"I suspect that she does, but she's just waiting for an opportunity to do so." I said.

"This is dangerous, CP." Sebastian said. "Jade is not only gonna come after you, she's gonna come after us and everyone that's connected to you."

"I agree with Sebastian." said Grayson.

"I have to stop her." I said.

"Not by yourself, you're aren't." Leigh Ann said. "Because we're in this together."

"I totally agree with Leigh Ann, we're in this together." said Sebastian.

"Yeah, we're with you, Dahl." Grayson said.

"Alright then." I said.

ROCHELLE'S DINER

Later that evening, a party is being held. Everyone is enjoying their food and milkshakes with the jukebox playing music.

I'm sitting in a booth table with my root beer float, gently twirling with my plastic straw.

Jade sits down across the booth table from me. "You're quite the snooper, aren't you, Catty?"

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about." I said.

But Jade isn't convinced. "I don't make me a fool. I know that you know about me. And I also know that The Red Mask was at Grayson's house."

"You know who The Red Mask is, don't you?" I asked her.

Jade sly smirks. "Sure I do. The Red Mask and I are connected."

"We will stop you, Jade." I said to her.

"Good luck with that." Jade said, getting up from the booth table and walks away.

I gets up from the booth table and walks up to the diner counter and sits down at it.

Alyssa sits at the diner counter. "What's with Jade?"

"She's trouble." I said.

"How much trouble is she?" Alyssa asked.

"Much big trouble." I said.

SKYES HOUSE

After the diner party, in the living room, Sebastian and I are sitting on the three seat couch.

"Jade knows and she practically dared me to find out who The Red Mask is." I said.

"She probably said that to mess with you." Sebastian said.

"Yeah, I know." I said. I check the time on my iPhone, which has 8:50 PM. "I gotta go."

[Song: Lovely - Billie Eillish ft. Khalid]

I gets up to my feet and Sebastian gently takes my hand in his hand.

Sebastian and I exchange looks at each other.

"It sucked not being with you." Sebastian said.

Sebastian gets up to his feet and we kiss each other, passionately. He gently lifts me up in his arms and gently sits back down on the couch with me gently straddling him in his lap.

I gently cups his face with my hands as we gently pulls away from the kiss.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked him.

Sebastian and I exchange soft looks at each other.

"I'm sure." Sebastian said.

Sebastian and I kiss each other again. He gently unfastens my dress and gently pulls it down, revealing my green Natori feathers bra.

He gently pulls off his long sleeve shirt, revealing his bare chest and abs, and his red snake rose tattoo.

Sebastian and I proceeds to kiss each other with him gently lays me down on the couch.

We then, proceeded to intimately make love with each other.

[Song ends]

BECKETT HOUSE

Later that night, I walk inside the living room and closes the door behind me.

"Mom? Dad?" I said.

I slowly walks further into the living room and gasps upon seeing a dead bloodied pig laying in the middle of the floor with a knife embedded in its stomach.

"Oh my gosh." I said with a horrified expression.
