IHY | Yuugo & Lucas

LIAR

"First, let's check around the entire premises of Glory Bell."

Lucas ran around the outside of the wall, calculating the interior not in space but in a radius. We came to understand that the walls around us created the shape of a circle.

I was in charge of looking for security cameras in the house. Every room was checked, the bedrooms, dining room, kitchen, headquarters, living room, pantry, storage room, and bathrooms. None of them had any sort of advanced technology.

"And second, let's start with telling Dina, Walter, and Nicolas."

The three of us concluded that we had no worries about focusing on the children's physical strength as all of us were training daily, other than mental test scores, some kids lacked in that aspect. Because of this, we moved on to the next factor, creating a way to cross the cliff.

The idea of using the old rope stored in the closet came to our attention, Yuugo designed a poorly Built grapple hook, a rock tied to the end of the rope which could be used by swinging it onto a tree on the other side and swinging off to cross the cliff. It was risky because we had no information if it would even work, but we agreed it was better than anything.

"Why'd ya' call us 6 Ma?" Nicolas said as we stood in her room. People were only permitted to meet Mother in her office if it was a serious case. Dina, Walter, and Nicolas were the ones confused. While me, Yuugo, and Lucas stood there in stress.

It hit me and Yuugo realizing Mother had already caught on right away, someone found out the secret.

As the woman in black walked away, Mother closed the door only to hear footsteps rushing up the stairs.

Her blood went cold.

In an instant, she momentarily began walking up the stairs at a quick pace. Her eyes are wide and her breathing stopped.

"Walter, Stacie, Mike? What are you doing awake?"

With messy hair, the navy-haired man turned around fixing his crooked glasses, in a sleepy state he stared at Mother confused.

"They just needed to use the bathroom, that's all." Walter said feeling annoyed that they had woken him up to escort them to use to toilet in the middle of the night.

She took notice of all the bedroom doors open, but she didn't know which one had the culprits that had seen her, or was it the three that stood in front of her? But she failed to take notice of the storage room that hid both Yuugo and me behind the door that stood directly towards her left.

Mother stood there in anticipation, someone had seen her, but she didn't know who.

"Help me clean around the house." She said smiling.

Only this, the three of us didn't expect us to be cleaning for the next 3 days.

"I don't get it, why is Mom now so worked up about getting the house all clean..." Walter said sweeping the floors in the halls while me and Dina were sorting out the white uniform we wore. Yuugo and Lucas were organizing the playroom.

"Calm down will ya Walty, this is probably the last day." Nicolas yawned tiredly.

Walter groaned. I couldn't help but notice the way Mother had been interrogating all of the kids. She was making the older kids do work inside to restrict us from forming our plans. Her cold eyes lingered on everyone. Including mine.

"Is something the matter [Name], you've been awfully quiet today." Mother asked bringing the attention to the four of us.

My sweat dropped.
