"Mock all you want, darling.", Nicholas says, then he clears his throat. "But I got the information.", Nicholas says, as he clicks his notepad, causing me to grin.
"We're crashing a ball.", I say.
"You're a girl. It's what you live for.", Nicholas says.
" I don't know if I packed a formal dress. I mean, I was on an adventure trip, stupid." I say, rolling my eyes and looking through my bags.
"No need to be cruel, Victoria. I'm keen.", Nicholas says, causing me to roll my eyes. He then pulls out a dress. "This what you're looking for, mate."
I grab the dress, then go into the washroom, and change into it. I put on my jewelry, position my hair, into a dandy ponytail, and put my rounded glasses back on.

• Nicholas
She was quite a sight for sore eyes. Her hair shaped her face beautifully. Her earrings were the ideal sweep from her shoulders. Her red lipstick stood out. Everything about her was majestic.
"Ready to go?", I ask, Nicholas, as I hold my mask delicately. "Yes." We charge on out, with a car waiting for us, but as I'm roughly inside, my glove is rushed away by the wind. I bend down to grasp it, but as my hand traces the glove it, also grazes Nicholas' hand. I glance up and notice him reaching for my glove as well.
"Oh apologies.", I say.
"No, my apologies.Wou- ", Nicholas says, but his verdict is interrupted, by a piercing honk. I smile, seize my glove, and lead into the car, along with Nicholas. I position my gloves on and dart back up at Nicholas. "What were you proceeding to say?", I ask.
"Forgot it.", Nicholas replies. But I couldn't ignore it. What was he moving to say?
"We arrived.", the driver says. He unlocks the door, guiding me out of the car. I pull my mask up and examine Nicholas. I truly, don't wish to think about this all evening. Why can't merely tell me? Then I recollect, why I'm here. I'm here for my sister, I can't only focus on what he had to convey. I shouldn't, I don't care.
11 pm
We head to 56 Catherine St.As the palace doors open. Buckingham Palace
"My sister was here, the night before she died- ", I say.
"With my uncle.", Nicholas continues. "We should steer upstairs, that's where they preserve the footage. There's footage from years on there."
I nod, and we head upstairs. I empty the drawers, scouring for the footage.
"Got it.", I say, holding up the cd. I position it in the CD player and it plays.
Footage
"Why are you here? I'm with my wife.", Nicholas' uncle says.
"Need to not bother, I won't dwell. Just wanted to notify you. I lost the baby, so no scandal to worry about. I indicate that's all you tend about.", Vannessa says. But she is stopped when Nicholas' uncle grabs her hand. He kisses her, pulling up her dress, as she moans, then...
"Ok.", Nicholas says, shutting the computer. I smile, then laugh. "We should seize this, for commentary. I could cut out the leisure, it's what we came for."
"I agree.", Nicholas says. I grab the CD, out of the CD player, and we leave. We head to the car, lingering outside, and go to the palace, for the masquerade ball, another site my sister reached.

"I'll look for more, information, on the night my sister was here.", I say, holding the door.
"Are you sure, you don't want me to come?", Nicholas says, stopping me.
"Need not worry. It'll be brief.", I say, as I open the entrance, I check the mail, and find an envelope addressed to me.

I head back out to Nicholas.
"What is it, darling?", Nicholas says sincerely, evidently catching a glimpse of the perplexed look on my face.
"I found a note.", I say, and open it. I read the script font, and obey what it tells me. I hear Nicholas's footsteps following me from a distance. I unlock a door and turn on the lights. Nicholas and I gasped. It's a lifeless bird. And there are two notes on it.
"Oh my gosh. I think I'm going to throw up.", Nicholas says, and I hear him vomiting behind me. I dismiss it and pick up one note.
