[ Secret Neighbor ]

' Fall '

''I'm not sure.'' ...

The three words somehow shocked the group, barely anyone can think after Scout explained about the neighbor's history around this house. ''Somethings we don't know can still lurk in this house.'' Detective shivered, as the cold air gave aches to his bruises. Everyone was injured, but yet they couldn't retreat the house, they came this far, yet still standing here.

They were only children, yet had brains beyond their years. The group spread around looking for any intresting clues, while scout laid down against the wall, rested, and readed the next page.

-Page 5, The Invention.-

''The Invention was yet another failure, printing missing posters, so I can make realistic robots, with the kids exact faces. The Invention plan was a good one, yet so powerful the money granted to find, was massive. The law thought I was a nice neighbor, yet a gold person. All this money could make me and my life happy, meanwhile these scraps that keep messing it up.''

''I keep on my notice board, the conditions of the machine, was always either on fire, or way to much volts has been used into it. I was only 50, or more, can't remember. Perhaps, Maybe inventing something with a werid shape wasn't the smartest, well, time to start over again.''

-The Page Ended.-

''Messed up.'' Scout relaxed her arms and gave a sigh. ''Feels like im the only one who knows about the truth- although they do know I have the diary..'' Scout muttered to her self, the group was messing around, playful , yet searching at the same time.

''You okay?'' Brave stood above her, kneeling down to she if she was close to alright. ''Yeah.'' Scout muttered. ''Have you found anything in the diary?'' Brave sat down beside her. ''Well- In this page hes talking about some invention, like some kind of book im reading.'' Scout pointed.

''And appearently, his printer is printing fake missing posters.. so he can have more money- plus making fake replicas of the fake missing children..'' Scout shivered. ''Thats- just a bit to greedy..'' Brave pounced herself up. The shelves had alot of books, thinking , something was up there, like more books of information, or either books from a public library.

The group gang back up and race upstairs, where they find them selves in a kitchen, where they found the keycard with. Leader straightened her hair. ''We didn't fully explore the kitchen, we only checked out the roof.'' Leader swinged her arms.

Detective held onto a pillar for walking support, seeing that only a man didn't need a kitchen this huge, but later on, they knew he has dead loved ones that used to live here, yet it would be more of a problem if the entire family was here.

Inventor and Bagger went to a ungated gym room, where people work out in their houses, there was a dumbell in the middle of the room, And gym lockers surrounding the left, and right side.

''Why is there a trampoline in here..?'' Inventor looked werided out, normally they would be outside, he thought. ''Not sure..'' Bagger searched a cabinet near two windows. No key. ''Well.. theres a access two right here- but.. I think it leads to where the kitchen is!'' Inventor had a idea, he had 5 gears in his toolbox in total, he thought he could create a keycard with all the tools he had found around this mansion.

The two kids look in a small room, in a big room. It had stairs leading to a greenhouse near the roof, and a hole in the ground. ''Ill go search this tiny room, you go search this one.'' Inventor already had left before Bagger could say anything.

-Bagger's POV-

I was scared to be alone, but I couldn't let my fears overcome this now, I could at any moment find a shiny key ready to unlock the door. I searched some closets and cabinets spread around the room, finding no key yet,

''Did he take them all..?'' I thought to my self, seeing a cabinet behind the hole, I saw a access two keycard. perfect! although, it was risky because if I fall, I might get injured.. I reached out my arm to grab the access two keycard, but yet.. it was to late. I slipped from the hole and fell down, landing on the library stairs.

Blood came out from my mouth and legs. ''...''. Soon. I was knocked out, unconcious.

-End of Bagger's POV-

''Bagger?'' Inventor looked around the room with a key and a gear. Inventor thought Bagger must have left without telling him, chill, he went back to the kitchen. ''I found a red key!'' Inventor beamed to his teamates. ''I found a access keycard.'' Leader pulled out the keycard from her bright red bag.

''Yeah, Cool and.. wheres bagger?'' Scout looked Inventor dead in the eyes with her slingshot ready. ''I thought he was with you guys..'' Inventor's leg was shaking, yet his face trembling.

''He isn't ..'' Detective clicked his hoop glasses. The group raced back to the room. The group was looking around the room, searching for Bagger, they looked into the unusal greenhouse hanging from the room, and yet looked in the giant gym room with no broken windows. Brave swung the door open near the hole into the library, soon. she found something. ''This is bagger's backpack..'' Brave slowly picked it up and held it in the air. ''...'' The group had no words to come out their mouths, yet nothing left to even feel. ''Hes gone..'' Scout muttered.

Brave looked into the hole, seeing a kid laying down on the stairs.. It was bagger. ''HES INJURED! DOWN THERE. '' Brave pointed.

Brave was about to jump from the floor to the library stairs, until detective grabbed by her arm, ''Atleast we can jump on something safely..'' Detective mumbled.

The group spreaded out, throwing things like: Boxes, chairs, and ripped fluff from inside the boxes. Without thinking, they jumped down to see Bagger trembling and curling up on the stairs. He was bleeding, wounds surrounded his legs and face.

''Bagger? '' Scout slowly dragged him up the stairs and layed him on the fluff. ''...'' Bagger was silent, he was in fear and couldn't move, he was defneitly in pain, they thought. The pain got worser and worser, he didnt feel safe around this mansion, no doubt. Bagger opened his eyes, in shock.

''Im glad your okay.'' Brave smiled and gave him his orange backpack. ''Thanks..'' Bagger cuddled his bag. ''Let him rest, we need bandages to patch his wounds up.'' Inventor suggested. He grabbed out his toolbox and gives bagger bandages, yet bagger has a rest on the fluff.
