Tempted

Chapter 48

Raven's POV

As we walked into the conference room everyone was surrounding a large oak table that had multiple papers scattered all over it.

The six boys began to gather papers into their hands and put them in a neat stack on a nearby table in a corner.

Placing my hands on top of the table I say nothing. Once the guys are done Louis lays out a large map of the city in front of us.

The boys stand on the other side of the table and silently look at all of us girls.

"Are you gonna keep staring at us or are you gonna say something?" Perrie asks next to me.

I hear one of the boys sigh and watch as they all shake their head.

"Can we not think for a minute?" Niall ask.

Perrie shrugs her shoulders and crosses her arms over her chest.

"First off we checked the house and found no one. We did find an envelope inside of Raven's room on her desk." Harry says in an authorative voice.

He slips his hand into his pants pocket and pulls out the envelope.

"We're pretty sure there's nothing life threathening inside of it, so Raven we are letting you open it since it was left for you." Harry reaches across the table and hands me the envelope.

I slowly take the envelope from his hands and inspect it. On the front of the envelope is my name in pretty cursive hand writing. The envelope is sealed by a small sticker.

Ripping off the sticker I pull up the flap and slowly open the envelope to see what's inside. Scrunching my nose I tip the envelope over and out falls a note with a key attached to it.

Tossing the envelope to the side I pick up the note and begin to read.

        We tricked you once into looking for the key, but it seemed to have backfired on us. We have tried multiple times to figure out what it's for, but have not found any use in it. Jonathan wanted you to have it, so here it is. Maybe you'll have better luck than we did.        -W

I pull the key off of the note and hold it in my hand.

"So who's it from?" Niall asks.

"I don't know. The day of Joanthan's funeral we found his Will and he left me a key and said it was my job to figure out what it went to. Instead of finding a key we found his body. Whoever had this key knew about what happened."

"So whoever had the key most likely put Jonthan's body in the closet and know they are just randomly giving it back to you." I shake my head.

"The person said they couldn't figure out what it went to and thought I'd have better luck figuring it out."

"That's weird." Niall says lowly.

"We'll figure that out later." Harry says.

"I have a question for Perrie." 

Perrie looks up from exmaining her nails startled.

"What do you need to ask?" She asks slowly.

"Why did you deliberately disobey my order? I told you to keep Raven away from the house, not go in with her."

Out the corner of my eye I watch as Perrie struggles to find what to say.

"It was my fault." I blurt out. "I told her that if she went with me it would be the same thing as stopping me from going inside. I ran across the street before she could stop me." Harry clenches his jaw and blinks rapidly.
