A Mystery (Sophitz)

Chapter 6

Fitz's POV

Changing Sophie's mind was going to be harder than I had imagined. 

"Sophie, we've been talking about this for twenty minutes, why don't you just agree with me, and we can come up with a plan?" She stubbornly shook her head. 

"Fitz, it's too risky, you could get caught, so you're going on the mission." 

"How is going on the mission less risky than just going to his house and planting the mic?" I ask. "What if I go on the mission, John shows up and they rip off our masks seeing that I'm the intruder?" 

"And what if he doesn't wear the suit that has the mic, and we end up finding nothing about the club?" Sophie argued back. We stayed in silence for a while. We both had good arguments, we just didn't know how to settle it. 

"I'll go." Sophie's head shot up. 

"Really? Even though you don't want to?" I nodded my head. A smile grew on her face. 

"Thank you," I smile back at her. 

"No problem, but now that we know what's going to happen, what's the plan?" 

"By the 26th, my cousin would have already finished working on the mic and planting it in the suit." Sophie started. 

"And what if John shows up?" Sophie stared at her desk, thinking of an answer. 

"We took away his calendar, so maybe he doesn't remember that the 26th is a club meeting?" 

"We should explore his house a bit more, just to be safe," Sophie nodded. "When do you think the little club meeting ended?" 

I shrugged. 

"Let's save it for tomorrow, I don't want him coming home unexpectedly," Sophie said. I nodded in agreement.

"Tomorrow, we should search his house while he's at work. It would give us plenty of time to search every part of the house," I say. Sophie nodded in agreement.

(Time skip to the next day) 

It was noon and Sophie, and I were getting ready for the small mission. 

"Are you ready?" Sophie nodded and the both us made our to the car, starting a small trip to John Bergs house. We parked the car far away from the house and made our way inside. We split up once again and went in every room. We looked every inch within the house. 

"Fitz! Come upstairs!" Sophie yelled. I quickly made my way to where Sophie was and she looked horrified. 

"What happened?" 

"Candace's theory about John... it's true." 

"What makes you say that?" I ask. I didn't realize she had something behind her back, and when she showed me, it was a newspaper. She handed it over to me and I couldn't believe what I had just saw. A picture of John Bergs in the early 1930's, not looking a bit older. But why was it in a newsletter? 

Then we heard a door close. John was home. 

Shit.
