Life Can Be Strange

Chapter 4: A Month Later

It's been a month since the 3 of them moved in. Everything seemed normal, until one night. Katherine got out of her bed and grabbed a flashlight and put on a black hoodie and black leggings, then left the room. Stephanie and Cassandra were still awake when Katherine left. The two girls decided to follow Katherine and call the twins. 15 minutes later, the twins had met Stephanie and Cassandra at the back of the school, where Katherine was suspiciously looking around with her flashlight. She eventually runs off-campus and the 4 of them follow her into an abandoned town. All of a sudden, Katherine starts calling for someone named Aaron. "Aaron, are you here?" Katherine whispered. "Peanut, you came." Replied a tall, brown-haired man, walking up to her. "Yeah, I did," Katherine stated.

"It's good to see you, Katherine." He said, pulling Katherine into a hug.

"It's good to see you too, Aaron." Katherine confirms.

"Does anyone have any idea on who that was?" Stephanie asked, as they started heading back. "Maybe her father or parental figure?" Cassandra suggested. "Perhaps. Do you two want to confront her about it?" Stephanie asked the twins. "...Labor Day Break is this weekend. How would you two like to come to L.A. with us?" Peter asked the two girls. "We'd love to." Cassandra answers. "Until then, can you guys find out as much information about Katherine as you can. If you find anything else out, tell one of us immediately." Brett states.

"We all better go back to our dorms." Stephanie states.

The next day, Katherine is in the library, studying for a test she has tomorrow, while the Squad is hiding behind bookshelves discussing who's going to distract Katherine while one tries to get Katherine's phone out of her backpack, that's on the floor, leaning against the table she was sitting at. "I think Peter should distract her, because they're closer and Brett should try and take the phone." Cassandra suggested. "That could work." Peter states. "Wait, why can't you two go?" Brett asked.

"Because if Katherine catches you, it'll be more forgiving." Cassandra explains. "We'll be waiting outside. Come out there with or without the phone." Stephanie states as the two girls leave. "I'm going to try to get Katherine away from her bag and when I do you take the phone from her bag." Peter explains. "Yeah, Yeah I get it." Brett says a little annoyed. Peter walks behind Katherine and wraps his arms around her.

"Studying?" Peter asked. Katherine just nods and continues what she was doing. Peter kisses her head. "What are you doing tonight?" Peter asked.

"Nothing. Probably pack for Labor Day Weekend." Katherine explains.

"Can Brett and I take you and your roommates out to see a movie?" Peter asked. "Sure I'd love to go see a movie with you guys. I'll ask the girls if they want to come." Katherine says filled with delight. Then, all of a sudden, Katherine gets a call right before Brett grabbed it. Peter and Brett leave the library. The Squad meets outside the library. "Did you guys get it?" Cassandra asked. "No, because as soon as I was about to grab it someone called her." Brett explains a little frustrated. "Guys, I have a plan." Peter says.

The Squad meets up in Peter and Brett's dorm and Peter explains his plan. "I told Katherine that I was going to take you all to a movie and half-way through whoever is sitting next to her, if her bag is on the floor, just kick it over to the person on the far right and that person will take her phone, then kick it back. If the bag is in her seat, one of you can ask her to go into the bathroom with you and I'm pretty sure she'll leave the bag with me or Brett, like she usually does." Peter states. "Okay, what if she doesn't leave her bag with you or Brett?" Stephanie asked. "Then, we'll just take it to L.A. and find out the truth there." Peter answers. "Seems like you have this plan of yours really thought out." Cassandra says. "That's just Peter on a daily basis." Brett teases. "So, we all know what the plan is." Peter asked. "Yeah." Stephanie says. "Wait, Are we ready for the truth?" Brett asked. "Well, we won't know until we find out." Stephanie says.
