The Sleuth Crew Adventures 1: Missing [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Ten: The Escape

"Well, we better get going. We still have some things to do." My 'Dad' said.

"Don't you think that we should take someone on guard for them in case they get away." Seseman said.

"Hmmm..... Renou, Seseman, you'll come with me." Roberts said.

"Then who'll guard?" Renou asked.

"I will." A voice said and it was Moose.

"Are you sure, son?" Roberts asked.

"I'm sure of it." Moose answered back.

"I think I'll stay with him. Just in case something happens." Seseman said.

"Okay, we'll go now. We'll see you at the hideout." Roberts said.

They went away and the screeching of wheels were heard saying that they have left.

"I'll be downstairs, make sure that they don't get away." Seseman said and he went away.

Moose took my phone from the table when he knew that Seseman was out of earshot.

"Andie, what's the phone number of the detective agency?" He asked.

"I don't know. How would I know?" I answered back, glaring at him.

"I know." Allen said and told him.

"Hello..................Could you let me speak to Mr. Frank and Joe Hardy?..................It's okay, thank you....................Mr. Hardy! Um, they're here..................Could you send the police here?..................We kinda have an emergency, please help us. There's someone guarding the place and he's too strong for us to handle..................Yes, a part of my dad's gang. He could burn our house if he knows...................Thank you, sir." He said and hung up.

"Okay, so I'll have to help you with the ropes, dad's companions tie them really tight, right?" He said while he untied us.

"Why are you doing this?" Luke asked.

"Ands, is like a sister to me. I don't want her to be involved here." He said, helping Luke up.

"I think we should wait for the cops." He added.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cops came with Uncle Frank.

"And where is this hideout?" He asked Seseman.

"The old house by the cliff." He answered.

"He told us so easily without any difficulty, why?" I asked.

"That's not the case at hand, we can interrogate him later." Allen said.

"And that's where we solved our second case. I'll call Joe to go there." Uncle Frank said.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Seseman said.

"Now speak the rat that will be our ears." Amelia muttered.

"What do you mean?" Uncle Frank asked.

"You better send some of your men to where the ships are if you don't want anyone running away." the bound man said with his eyes trailed on the ground.

"We better go." Eden said as we filed in the police cars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We drove to the old house by the cliff.

Trust me, you won't like how it looks like.

It's like it's been abandoned for a long time and, well, maybe it's inhabited by ghosts. Just a theory though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We got inside the house and searched the place in trios.

I ended up with Uncle Frank and Moose.

We kept on searching every room but all of them were empty.

I panicked, "Where is she? Do you think she's hurt?"

"Woah! Calm down, Andie - I mean, Ashley. I'm sure we'll find her." Moose said as he opened a door to another empty room.

Ring! Ring!

Uncle Frank took his phone from his pocket and answered the call.

"Hello, Joe..................Really?..................That's great!..................Sure, I'll see you at headquarters." He said before hanging up.

"Come on, kids. You're sister's been found." He said as we followed him out the house.
