BROKEN WINDOWS AND WHAT NOT

Mom and dad arrived soon after dad called. They even asked Madeline to stay back at her friend's house. The news had already started to roll out. JUST IN: TV HOST ADELE AMBROSIA ESCAPES FROM JAIL; POLICE SUSPECT ROBBERY INVOLVES GANG INCLUDING AMBROSIA.

Everyone in the house was too stunned to even talk. Dad and mom assured that we all would be alright. Sita, Ludo and McKenna had to stay here. Kayla told dad about Adele and he went to the basement to check on him. My dad trusted Adele with his life. They were Bros once upon a time. We were sent to my room. My room was pretty close to the basement. I could hear a lot of crying and moaning down there. Poor Mr. Ambrosia, looked like he was having a very hard time. I wish I could help him. But I'm just a kid.

The question was, if it wasn't Ambrosia, then who was it? It definitely couldn't have been anyone outside the set. The news said that the trophy could have been stolen on Monday, midnight. But that didn't make any sense. Because the day we had our first episode shot, was Tuesday. The trophy was very well there! Wait, but was it? No one saw it. It was supposed to be in Mr. Reginald's office. And again, Mr. Reginald was on a trip to Maldives during the week. Nothing summed up. How did the media come to a conclusion that it was stolen on a Monday? Detective stuff I guess.

Ludo was screaming at the top of his voice. "I have my gardening practicals tomorrow! How am I supposed to prepare if I am stuck here? And what the hell is going on? My momma is already texting me- she wants to see her baby it seems. And I never stay out for too long. She's asking me what's going on. What should I tell her?"

"Just tell her that Mel is getting a serious brain transplant or somethin! Who cares?"

"I do, Sita! I do! Not the time for jokes guys. Ludo make something up..not the transplant." I said. There was a guy who just escaped from jail sitting in the next room, and these people are making up jokes. How immature.

"Guys, where's McKenna?" McKenna was nowhere around. Not inside the room at least. "I think she's in the bathroom? She told me." said Sita. "Kay" I murmured.

We just moved around, chatting non stop. Ludo's mom was starting to really freak out, and she was at the door now. Kayla freaked as soon as she saw her.

"Mrs. Bagman! What's up? How's the youtuber doin?" said Kayla. "My darling little Ludo! Is he alright? Oh my, where is my dear offspring? Oh, do I miss him! I need to see him right now! Summon him here! By the way Kayla, how did the transplant go? How's Mel dearest doing? Oh! She's standing right here!

Thank god I was there to save Kayla. I can't believe that little git of a Ludo gave her the same excuse I told him not to. That one has no common sense whatsoever, I'm telling you.

"Hi Mrs. Bagman! Ludo will be with you in a second. Also, I didn't have a transplant or whatever. It must have been a typo. We just got a little too engrossed in our conversation, that's all"

"Oh thank dear heavens."

And then with all our hearts thudding like thunder, we sent Ludo with his mom.

That piece of menace was gone.

And McKenna was taking an insane amount of time in the bathroom.

"Melody Mington! Come here quick! Fast!" That was Sita shouting. "On my way" said I. "What. in. the. frickin' . world." The bathroom window was broken. "McKenna! Holy goodness! What is happening?! And I ran to tell my mom and dad, when I heard dad shouting exactly like Sita did. What was going on?

Arre Bapre as Sita does it,

Melody Mington.
