A black Lamborghini pulled up in Jessica's yard.

- Thanks again for the ride. I'll go change and go to the cafe.

- My pleasure.

Theo got into the car and drove to the cafe.

- Mr. Brooks. Are you here?- the guy said.

- Yes. Mr Whein, hello. Didn't expect to see you so early.

- Mr Brooks. I need a little help. Can you take me to Mr. Darks? - Theo asked excitedly.

- Mr. Whein, can we switch to "you". - Peter said calmly.

- Okay, Peter.

- Come on, Mr. Darkes' office is on the second floor.

Peter led Theo upstairs. Knocking on the door, they entered.

- Mr Darks. Theodor Whein would like to talk to you.

- Good. Theodore, I'm listening. - replied a man in his thirties.

- Mr. Darks, I just got back from my audition. I have great news. Jessica got the opportunity to study on a budget education. So, I wanted to ask... Can we use your cafe's ballroom for a little party in honor of Jessica?

- Not bad idea. I think it's possible. But then you have to do everything so that she does not notice and make a menu and a list of guests.

- At about 4:30 pm we will finish and then we could have a party at 7:00 pm. I just have training with the team,- Theo said.

- Good. I'll make a menu then and tell the others. - Peter intervened.

- Okay. But then I'll take Jess to the mall. We need to buy her an outfit, - the guy said. - Thank you, Mr. Dark. I am in your debt.

- Well, what are you. This audition was very important for Jessica.

-Goodbye,- said Theodore, and ran downstairs. He needed to hurry.

Theo got into the car and drove back to the studio.

Time 16.20.

"The last member left and finally I can get out of here." the guy said to himself.

A girl with long black hair and blue eyes entered the stage. She was holding a violin in her hands. Theo recognized her immediately. Theresa.

"My mother... What is this prostitute doing here?" flashed through his head.

Teresa started to play. Honestly, she played worse than a child who picked up a violin for the first time. When the girl finished playing, the jury breathed a sigh of relief. Teresa left the stage and the jury began to comment on her performance.

- This girl doesn't know how to act at all! Even my 5 year old daughter plays better than her. - said the woman who was sitting next to Theo.

- I agree with Mrs Dane. It was terrible!- Theo said.

- Shall we give her a chance?- Mr. Grint asked.

- Better not, Mr. Grint. It will be a disaster,- Theodore muttered. - Teresa is not the best person. She is not interested in music and studies. She's not here for a studio spot. Trust me, I know her very well, and I think I know why she's here. - Theo added as all the members of the jury stared at him with a questioning look.

- And why?- asked Miss Dane.

- I lived with her for a while, so I know almost everything about her. - the guy answered. - If we're done, can I leave?

- Yes, Mr. Whein, we're done.

- Goodbye. - said Theodore, and left the hall.

Theo started the car and drove down the street. He picked up the phone and dialed Oliver's number.

*Telephone conversation*

- Hey Theo. Wanted something? - the voice of the guy was heard.

- Yes. I just finished. In 15 minutes I will be at the hall. Can you come out? Need to talk.

- OK.

Theo switched off and turned on the music, continued on his way.

The car stopped in the parking lot and Theo rushed to the locker room. Oliver was at the door.

- Hey bro. Theo said and they shook hands.

- I take it you want to talk?- the guy asked.

- Yes. You won't guess who came to the audition... It was a complete nightmare.

-Let me guess... That fool?- Oliver said and Theo just nodded. - And what was?

- Well... She played the violin. It was just terrible.

- She may have taken Charlie's violin. Yesterday she came to us... Okay. Are you going to change or are you going to play like this?- asked Oliver and looked at Theo.

- I'm going. But I won't be for long. I have to leave in 2 hours.- Theodore said and was about to open the dressing room door when Oliver stopped him.

- Not understood. Where are you going? We've got a match coming up, are you going to hang around?

— Oliver. Listen. I need to take one person somewhere. For her... - the boy began, but Oliver didn't let him finish.

- Her? It's a girl?

- Yes. There will be a surprise party at the ''Dark Secret'' for a girl who works there. Today she was auditioning for vocals and she was accepted for budget education. And I will be one of the teachers who will work with her. So, while everyone is preparing the assembly hall for the evening, I have to take her shopping.

- Okay. Then quickly pack up and go.- The guy whispered and left.

Theodor quickly changed into a team uniform and ran into the hall.
