BFF'S -·- The Stolen Necklace

Chapter 9 : A Suspect

Sophie's POV

"Oh just forget it! This obviously isn't working! We're never gonna find it!" Liz yelled. We all just went silent, I didn't know what to say. I don't think anyone did.

Liz let out a shaky breath. "I-...I'm sorry guys..idk what came over me..I-I need to go get some air." She said, getting up to go outside. I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding. I didn't know what to say!

"O-kayyyyyy," Mary started.

"I-I should go make sure she's okay," I said, starting to go to the backdoor to follow her, but Mary stopped me. "She probably just needs a few minutes. Why don't you two boys go play basketball?" She asked Will and Daniel.

"I haven't eaten yet," Daniel said. I saw Mary glare at him though and he said, "I....'ll just eat later. C'mon Will!"

"I don't like basketball thoughhhhhhh!" Will whined but went outside with Daniel. Yah, they are my two favorite boys in the world...and I'm not sorry.

Now that we were alone Mary turned to me. "Okay so now we know it's stolen, not lost. We can find the culprit easier now!"

"I guess, but we still don't know what she looks like."

"Well, you have a German shepherd who barks at anyone they don't know, so clearly this must be a person who comes around often or is a good friend. Maybe even a neighbor?"

"...True, but I don't think I have friends who would steal,"

"Well maybe a old friend. Come on, lets try to find the culprit."

We went through a small book filled with names, addresses and phone numbers.

"None of these people would steal!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, calm down. It's okay. Breath in and out, relax."

I sighed and listened, breathing in and out, relaxing. "Oka..." I started before looking back down at the old friends. A address stood out, "Mr. And Mrs. Bait, 496-2294"

Bait? I didn't remember them-- oh! Maybe I did, and they lived only a few minutes away (by car) too, so maybe? But...what was our friendship with them? I still didn't know if....what's her face, would steal from me. Mary followed my eyesight, "the Bait's?"

I nodded. "I'm trying to remember them.."

"Oh I know them! Poor Clara...her mom died a few months ago and her family broke off the relationship with mine. I wonder how she's doing, she did seem to miss you though!"

Now I remembered her! She was... Somewhat nice (if you could call it that) but possessive and controlling, I felt like I didn't have a opinion when I was with her so mom and dad broke off the relationship with her family. But would She really steal from me?

"Story! Are you gonna tell Liz we have a suspect!?" Mary practically shouted, breaking me out of my thoughts and memories. "Oh, yah! Liz! Liz!" I shouted, fumbling with the door handle in my haste before throwing the door open.

"Liz! We have a suspect!"
