The silver key

To say

Rose opened the door to see Drake standing at the enterence. Jessica on the other hand was going crazy over Leo's last seen.

Starr stood outside the house smirking, on the phone wdisappointed.

"Well, he's going to the house!" Starr said.

"I hate you for talking me into this" Minerva replied. Edwin Starr had talked Minerva into calling her husband a while later. Just to see if he was still helping out Arthur. Minerva and the kids were at the hospital filling out forms and getting necessary treatment, she would have never agreed had he not brought up the fact that Arthur's first plan of action when he found out that the kids had the key was to beat up Drake. The news of yesterdays events wasn't yet known to the public. Starr knew that Drake wasn't really supporting Arthur but just wanted to have a bit of vengeance perhaps for things of the past.

Annoyed and slightly scared out the outcome Minerva waited over the line.

"Yes Mr. Theodore?" Rose said answering the door.

"Umm, hey kid, did Nicole or Leo give you a key of sorts?" He asked, his eyes sullen from lack of sleep last night.

"Umm... A key?" Rose said not knowing how to respond. Jessica quickly made her way down as well.

"Well.. You see I have a hunch that Leo and the others were taken away for a key, did you have any?" Drake asked slightly frustrated.

Jessica studied Drake's face, as suspicious as she was, he looked worried, very worried. His wife wasnt answering calls and his kids were missing.

"No, in all honesty we don't have any key" Jessica replied.

"Is that so?" Drake said disappointed.

"...but we did find this" Rose said giving him the red book.

"Oh this.. It doesn't open, does it?"

Rose and Jessica exchanged a glance, " it opened for us see.." Jessica said flipping through the pages.

Drake's eyes widened, he took the book and examined it, he couldnt flip the pages but they could!

"Maybe its because your name is here" Rose said pointing to his name.

And there it was.. Above his name..

Tristin Starr

Drake immediately took the book and looker at it again, it was really there. Everyone who had ever used the key. The only proof of his existing, was right here. His very name with all of theirs. Drake got out his phone in an instant and called Edwin Starr.

Seeing the call, Starr cut off Minerva and picked up Drake's phone, ready to tell him his kids were actually safe. But was stopped by Drake's voice that chocked as he spoke.

"Edwin... I found your proof" Drake said.

"Wha.. What!?" Edwin said his eyes almost watering, 'no no', he told himself you don't know if its true.

"Come to Asher lane, you'll spot me"

"Already there" Starr said walking towards Drake.

No words were spoken, Starr took the book and flipped through the pages with ease, and spotted the name.

"I can't open the book, or flip through pages, and presuming by the list given its all those who have ever used the key" Drake said.

Starr quietly tucked the book into his pocket," mind if I take it?" He asked.

The girls shook their heads.

"Oh, and before I leave! You wife and kids are fine Drake, saved them yesterday night or early today? Idk! Call her" he said before leaving.

Drake let out an annoyed groan before calling Minerva.

Jessica and Rose waited with Drake back at the Theodore house. Soon everyone showed up excluding Erik, who was too busy trying to calm down his panicked family.

Nicole was shocked to hear Rose's voice,"Nikki! What's this nonsense of you being unable to see!?" She asked.

"Its true, but its not that bad.." Nicole replied sheepishly, she could still she's the area around her with just a touch.

"Mm! I won't accept this! Who's going to yell at my newly dyed orange hair?? I'm getting you state of the arch treatment I swear"

"With who's money?"

"From the money I make writing the tale of you losing your eyesite! It'll be the best plan ever!" She said jumping up and down.
"Yeah... I'm not telling you anything"

"Aww! You will! I'll squish it out of you" Rose said hugging Nicole,"I'm glad your safe idiot"

On the other hand instead of jumping with excitement Candace and Jessica were both hugging and crying buckets.

"Can you both stop? We're fine!" Leo said after a good few hours.

"Oh shut up Leo! Couldn't you tell me? And how the hell were you online?!" Said Jessica.

"Umm.."

"He couldn't wait to get back online, he literally had no self control" Nicole said answering for Leo.

"And you still couldn't message me!"

"He even got me beat up!" Candace added to the list.

"Eesh!" He said picking up Candace from Jessica's arms.

"You were a very very good girl though!" He said.

"I know! Let me go I wanna watch TV with Dad" Candace said running away.

"I've still not forgive you!" Jessica said eyeing Leo,"you're an absolute idiot, getting into so much trouble"

"Mmm? Not even cake will help you forgive me?!" Leo asked, with puppy dog eyes.

Jessica averted her gaze, knowing too well that she'll give in,"no!"

"Well.. How about a dinner date then?" Leo asked casually.

Jessica felt her cheeks heat up,"mm! Maybe that will work, depending on how good a date it is!"

"Its a deal then" Leo said flashing her a smile, while the eavesdropping Rose and Nicole giggled with delight.

____________

A few weeks passed and Arthur's company was in complete havoc, losing all its stocks and getting constantly sued. Starr kept Erik in the loop with his dad's case. Though Arthur was fighting strong, it wasn't long until the man that had surrendered to have been hired by Arthur.

Trails kept occurring under Starr's supervision, he still didn't know why he was the only one who remember his brother that had nothing to do with the key, but with the little red book in his pocket. He was as satisfied as he had ever been.
