Be it winter , summer , spring or autumn going out of town for their secret place was their ritual . They would spend hours there talking about aimless things or sometimes discussing their next target or plot .

Right now they were sitting on the cool grass and talking about the hot topic of these last few days - Taylors pink hair . No one even suspected them , not even the prey .

Len had named this place their lair . It was out of town after crossing a forested area . The place had a beautiful scenery and had a small lake . The surroundings were covered with trees and only a small clearing was there and also a little cave that could easily fit around ten adults . Not so little then eh ?!

Care to go for a dip ? Bec asked getting up and heading towards the pool while taking off her clothes .

Nah ! I am feeling too lazy to get up. Len said .

Cmon .. You should never give up on a dip , especially when the weather is cold . Bec whined making puppy dog eyes .

No

Yes

No

Yes

Noooooooo

Yes . Yes . YES !!

Dude !! Len whined .

Bec kept pleading and so Lennon gave up and stripped off her clothes . Wearing their underwear they rushed to the lake and dived in . It wasn't deep so they kept their head well up and swam around lazily .

It was getting dark so they got to the land and dried themselves with a towel they had kept in the cave (Don't judge .. the lair was practically their second home ..) and wore their clothes and started on their journey back .

Lennon felt that someone was watching them but when she looked around and saw no one within her periphery she felt like she was being paranoid . She didn't believe in ghosts so she thought her mind was playing tricks when she saw a like figure of a man perched on the trees . When she looked again he was gone . Who perches on trees nowadays? Well ... if that man was about to break into someone's house to colour someone's shampoo pink like Bec did then it's not really possible ..

Hah !! Definitely she needed a good long sleep .

She usually shared everything with Becky but she kept this to herself for the time being . Who likes to tell that Hii .. You know I think I saw a ghost or I am going crazy as there was no one when I looked the second time and there are no such things called ghosts.

She pushed this thought to the corner of her mind and went home .

Becky sure noticed that Len saw something uncomfortable back at their secret place but as she did not pick up the topic she too let it go thinking that Len will tell her all in good time .

Len s only thought that night was - What and who was that man ? She was sure she was being stupid and more stupid for keeping a secret .. but hey ! U can't judge her ..
