And he literally started sniffing for them, what the desire for playing can do to people.

Bethany on the other hand gave up, she would rather wait for Jennifer to leave than risk a beating.

So she went to accompany kelvin, and just started watching what he was doing on the phone

Evening was right around the corner but Ben was still sniffing and eventually, he got tired and gave up.

Bethany was bored so she started playing Free fire on her phone while heading to the backyard, but once there she bumped into Joshua who had just placed the keys on top of the supply cottage's roof, when Joshua noticed that he'd been caught, he swiftly turned around and saw Bethany,

"Oh, it's you, I thought it was Benjamin, he's giving me a headache, he's been searching the entire house and almost found the keys thrice, don't tell him that they're here, ok? "

" Oh, ok"

As soon as Joshua leaves, Bethany Starts pondering over what to do

'but, should I tell him? I mean, he's been searching for so long....'
She shakes her head  'Nah, I'll just forget it '

Bethany continues her Battle royal

After a while, Benjamin comes to find her, asking if she's seen the keys

Bethany seems to be in thought, contemplating

'mmm should I tell him where they are?, But I promised Joshua.......ugh! But Benjamin really wants them!, and besides, it's already evening, he can't still be wanting to leave at this time can he? '

"Er......... Do you still want to leave at this time?"

"Duh!....... Have you seen the keys or not?"

Bethany sighs
"Yes, I've seen them, but I promised Joshua that I wouldn't tell you, so wait for me to head to the living room and pretend to watch Tv with the guys, and after a while, head over to the cottage, the keys are on top of it, and just head over to us and start falsely rejoicing saying 'I sniffed out the keys!', ok? You better make this look coincidental! "

Hearing that, Benjamin was ecstatic, giving Bethany a bear hug whilst lifting her

" Yes yes, thank you sis, I love you, you're the best"

Bethany tries to feign seriousness but fails miserably, and can't help sporting a smile
" Yeah yeah I know, now put me down! I want to go"

After a while, Benjamin barges into the living room, keys in hand singing "I've sniffed them out"

Bethany activates her Oscar winning acting skills,
" What? he found them?, Joshua I didn't tell him"

" Yeah it's ok, it was bound to happen sooner or later"

Although Benjamin found the keys, he made a fatal mistake; instead of him opening the gate first, then leaving it open to make his future escape, he straight ahead went to prance around with the keys in front of his assigned officers, completely defenseless.

As he was making his way to the gate, about to open it

Two shadows were immediately by his side with a whoosh!

one snatching the keys while the other lifting him and putting him on the shoulder blade
