Mirabell:Obviously. You told me to come watch over your sister

Noah:I don't understand

Mirabell:Just get back home.Are you planning on spending the entire night in the grocery store?

Noah:What grocery store?

Mirabell:What's with you and these weird questions?🤨

Noah:I should be the one asking you what's with you and these weird statement.I was with my sister when I got a text from you saying you just heard a noise coming from my basement,and you think it's my sister,and you'll go check it out.

Mirabell:What do you mean by you were with your sister? The same sister you said I should look after? And where exactly are you?

Noah:When did I tell you to look after my sister? Am at my Aunts place with my sister,that's my location,why?

Mirabell:If this is a joke,then you better stop it! I received a message from you few minutes ago telling me that you were rushing out to the grocery shop and your sister is home alone and I should look after her.

Noah.I never sent you such a message

Mirabell:Am in your house and I can hear mumbling and footsteps coming from your basement

Noah:If this is a prank then you better stop it

Noah:I've also been hearing voices and footsteps coming from my basement but whenever I check it out,I see nothing.It was getting too much so I decided to leave the house with my sister,we left this morning.So if what you are saying is true,then the first thing you ought to do is leave my house right now!

Mirabell:You are getting me scared? So this isn't a joke? Am close to the basement and the footsteps has stopped.I think whatever is in your basement has heard me

Noah:Then run! Run out of the house!

Noah:Mirabell are you there?

Noah:Am calling the cops to the house!

Noah:The police are on their way

Noah:Answer your phone call! What's going on? Are you okay?

Mirabell:It depends.Whats your definition of okay?

Noah:Phew! You got me scared.Am glad you are okay.Are you out of the house already?

Mirabell:She is out of the house and out of her skin too
