Barbie Spy Squad: Discovering Dark Secrets

Five years ago pt 2

Barbie still couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling....staring blankly at the window she tried to make sense of everything.

Right after what happened during their visit to the mysterious villa close to where they were stay, Barbie left her phone there.

And Barbie knew that they couldn't leave any trace. They'd be caught before they knew it.
So Barbie decided to sneak back in, take her phone, and get the hell out of there.

But she wasn't so lucky this time and got caught.
Luckily for her, they had to let her go....but not before threatening her to make sure that she wouldn't tell anyone about why she saw.

"Listen here...little girl, if you dare to tell the police about any of this, I'll make your life a living hell. I have the whole police in my pocket anyway. And if you do make them believe you somehow, your parents work for me, so I'll drag them down with me," Barbie remembered Mr. Felmimg's threat.

"Earth to Barbie!"

Barbie turned her attention back to the blonde boy.
Barbie couldn't tell anyone but Ken about what happened.

"Barbie....chill! We'll figure this out," Ken reassured her.

"B-but....how?" Barbie asked, panicking.

"First things first, we need to know what's happening. And what sort of work your parents are doing for them," Ken explained.

By now Barbie was feeling a bit better about the situation.
She nodded in agreement.

But before they could think of what to do next, the door was opened.

"Hey, kids," George greeted them, "I'm surprised you didn't burn down the entire house."

Margaret glared at her husband in response. George saw the look his wife was giving him and chuckled nervously.

Margaret sighed and shook her head.

"Well....I'll go prepare lunch," Margaret sighed.

Ken grabbed at Barbie's hand and headed to her room.
"Okay....here is what we're going to do. We're going to watch your parents closely.  And we'll know what's going on."

Barbie blinked in shock.

"Are you suggesting....we spy on them?" Barbie asked uneasily, not liking the idea of invading her parents' privacy.

Ken sighed. He didn't like it either.

"I know it's not a good thing to do, Barbie. But how else are we going to figure this out?" Ken sighed. Deep down, Barbie knew he was right, "It's not like we can explain all this to them."

Barbie sighed and nodded.
They didn't have much of a choice right now.

"Lunch is ready," Margaret announced from the kitchen.

The kids headed towards the dining room.

"We'll talk about this later," Barbie whispered to Ken who nodded in understanding.

"Barbie....will you go downstairs to the basement and tell your dad lunch is ready? He's trying to help me with all this work too much," Margaret requested.

Barbie nodded and headed downstairs.
Despite the fact they were on a vacation, her parents were working too much.

What was the big deal about it?
