Twisted

CHAPTER TEN

                         Jason's POV

***Night time***

        Keeping my phone aside after urging Greg to quickly come back, I looked at the uninvited guess in the room nervously, who was comfortably sitting down on the leather couch, taking a bite of the cookies I set aside on the table a while ago and sipping their cup of warm milk.

      Their eyes looking at me with obvious amusement. Taking a deep breath to calm myself down,

    "So what do u want to know?" I asked, starring back at the intruder.

....

  ***A few minutes ago***

    I was still searching the room, despite checking it for the nth number of times and thinking of possible place I might have kept the orb.

     I really need to find the orb, I'm not afraid of the other information being found out... but of facing dads rage. That's even worse than waiting for your results by the end of the term! Or showing to your parents! Dad doesn't joke around when it comes to his money.

    'Not here' I thought as I looked under a couch again for millionth time.

     Moving over to the closet, I checked the top, bottom, inside, the left side and the right side.

    "Ayyysh, this is really getting frustrating!" Inwaled over to the bed, flapped the bedsheet up and down gently, attempting to maybe see it as it rolls down but nothing like that happened.

      Keeping the bedsheet down, I bent down to check under the bed.

      'No...no...no...no...that's not it ' I thought to myself.

     Then I left there dejectedly and went inside the bathroom.

      Just as I was about to open the drawer stand where you can keep your toothbrush and bathroom things inside, I heard the door being pushed open, 'it most be Greg,' I thought. 'Maybe his hear with some good news', o without going out I yelled from inside,

      "Did you find the orb!? I've been looking for it for hours so I really hope you did!"

      "What orb?" I heard him reply, which was not quite clear so I closed the drawer and went out while saying

    "This is really not the time to joke Greg!" I said angrily, 'but maybe his found it that's why his joking?'

     Thinking of the possibility of that being the case, I got excited and turned the door nob open.

       "Have you found the orrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbb..." I drag the word 'orb'... shocked by the identity of the person at the door...

      "Oww hi Kayla, whatacha doing here?" I said, awkwardly putting my hand on the side of the door.

     Smiling at me, she walked I'm without a word, and head start tk the couch while saying, "oww nothing much, just thought I should come over and say hi"

     She said then sat down with me still staring at her every move.

      "Sorry, but this is really not the time for an unexpected visit, so if you may..." I left it at that, silently indicating for her to leave and showing her the door to go out.

       "Oww!..." she said as she got up from the couch, "...I didn't expect that I was barging in uninvitedly " she then  looked at me with a sweet smile. 'I think something is definitely up because Kayla is acting weird, I mean doesn't normally act cheerful! That's Leah's job! ' I thought to myself as she walked towards the door and held the door nob. I was still watching her like a hawk, finding the situation quite distressing. Just as she was about to open the door...
  
     "Oww, I forgot to ask something " i held my breath as she turned around with a closed eye smile and said, "don't worry it won't take long" she said still smiling making me feel like something bad is about to happen.

      "You were asking about a green orb a while ago..." she was now looking at me, eye to eye, with narrowed eyes.

      "I was just wondering if per chance, this is what your looking for?" Saying that with a smile, she took out the green orb from her jackets pocket.

       "Ahh, yes! I've been looking for it for a while now!" I said, moving closer to her. "Where did you find it?" I said trying to grap it from her outstretched hands before she took a step back and raised her right hand, which was holding the orb, up.

    "Ow no, no, no, no Jason " she said moving her fingers to gesturealong side as she looked at me with a disapproving smile.

     "Is that how you thank someone fir finding what you..." she pointed at me, "...lost? And besides, how sure are we that it is yours? And I believe the saying goes, 'finders keepers, losers wipers'" Saying that, she walked around me and went to the couch ones more and sat there.

       "And about the contents inside..." she said which made me become horrified, I think she saw that because she laughed right after.

....
     *** Present ***

     That's how things went leasing us to this situation.

      "So Kayla,..." I said as I went forward to side on the other couch, "...about the things inside..." I said, trying to find out a way to breach the topic.

       "Hahaha," she laughed, making me confused. "Don't worry, I was just joking around with you" she said, making me sigh in relief.

     "But,..." she looked at me seriously, making me catch my breath again, "... I was mad at the fact that you didn't tell me anything about what was happening, I could have helped!" She might had said she was mad but she looked really sincere while saying that she could help.

       "I know, I just didn't want you to think that I was going crazy or that I was just over thinking things." I looked down avoiding eye contact, I know that people won't believe what I say if I told them, they'll just think I'm crazy, infact if I was in their leg, I'll also think so, I mean who won't?

       "What do you mean?" I raised my head to see kayla looking at me confusedly, "why will I say that? All the things in there are true, including your suspicion. And just like you pointed out, they are all related "

    "Wait, you also believe my claims!?" I asked, almost jumping off the couch, excitedly.

        "Yes, and..." she said calmly, back to her original state, and was about to continue before I interrupted her.

     "Wow! Someone actually believes me. I was starting to think I might have gone crazy!" I excitedly said to myself.

      "Yes, your not crazy, and if you will let me continue, we might be able to work together to crack this case and find out the organisation behind this anomalies with the information I have joined with yours" She said with a smile on her face.

      "All right, let's work together " I said, reigning in my emotions.

   "BAM!"

      The door was violently pushed open by Greg, who looked like he really did rush here like I asked him to.

      Raising his head, he first looked at me confusedly, who still couldn't contain my smile, then at Kayla with his eyes growing bigger in shock, just like how I was at the beginning, and kayla was also looking at him.

     He walked in, still staring at kayla as if seeing a ghost.

       'I know I was surprised by her appearance here but that was because I slipped and mention the orb. Why is Greg looking at her like that?' I thought to myself as Greg reached us and sat at the couch I was sitting on. The were two couch in the room facing the TV.
