Teenage Detective

Three

You stopped by the door of lab 5, Saffron and Robin were confused." Lab 5?" They asked at the same time, you nodded confidently at them, " yea, the answer is in here." They took a glance at eachother and went into the lab after you.

In the lab, as you thought, there is someone staring outside through the windows." Hey," you talked to the person. He turned and faced to your direction, and when the three of you can clearly see his face, Saffron cried out, "Finn?! This can't be!" Robin didn't really have a reaction, all he did was raising one of his eyebrow." I have to admit that I really didn't think of this kind of situation." He said with a confused look.

" Alright, looks like you've passed all of the quizzes..." Finn begun to speak, but you interrupted him." It's not over yet," you said, "who's the sixth person?"you asked him." Huh? What do you mean?" Finn replied you with another question." Don't pretend to be dumb, I knew everything now." You looked around while saying that, "and you can stop hiding now, Ben, I saw you." The room went into silence for a moment." Is she serious?" You heard Robin whispering to Saffron, she replied him with shrugging.

Ben came out from a large old cabinet that is big enough to keep a person inside. The cabinet was used to be storing some drugs before, but it's abandoned from a few years ago.

" Excellent job." He said to you." We will tell you everything," finally, you thought. But he continued, " after you tell us about how did you figure this whole thing out." " Fine," you sighed, explaining something is really troublesome, you thought as you grabbed a chair and sat down.

You ran the informations through your mind clearly again:

What do I know?
1. Ben isn't kidnapped from the beginning, this whole thing is some sort of contest for me to solve since I'm the new one here. I guess Finn wants to test how smart am I.

2. Saffron and Robin were totally pretending that they don't know anything, and I can see Robin is bad at acting from his behavior in yesterday and today. Saffron is way too excited about everything today, I knew that was not her usual attitude.

3. Finn wouldn't give us some stupid quizzes if something is in emergency, it is a waste of time to do that.

4. Since yesterday, all of us know that "Smart Finn" was just a fake name of Finn, he don't have to call himself in that way to us again. From this, I suppose that Finn is not the one who wrote the notes. The one who wrote them is probably someone who doesn't know Finn a lot, or maybe he or she doesn't even know him. And he or she might be the sixth person of this club.

What do I need to know?
1. Who is the sixth person of this club.

2. The reason why they're not telling me about the sixth person when I joined the club.

" Alright, I'm ready." You told them as you arranged every informations in your mind about what you know and what you don't know. All of them looked at you, waiting for your opinion. The staring made you a bit nervous, and you continued on telling them your thoughts. That was a long speech.

*Time skipped to whenever you finished talking*

You finished telling them your opinion about this event. A big smile appeared on Finn's face." Excellent job! Athena. And you're right, this is a contest for you to let us know how smart you are." He said, the others clapped for you and said congratulations.

But you're not satisfied with that, " so who's the sixth person?" You asked, you're confused about why are they trying to avoid the person's name from you. He or she might be one of my friend who knows some embarrassing stuff about me in the past. You thought, but you know that's ridiculous.

" Scott," Finn said. As you heard the name, you can't help but feel a violent pulse inside. "Scott..." you shivered as you repeat the name.

Scott... the one who ruined your life. The one who always beat you in everything. Even in family...

Yea, he's your big brother, the most famous bully within the ninth graders. You can't imagine it, the spirit of bully and genius, in the same body?

You are confused, totally confused. You've never been so confused before. The devil in your life is in the same club with you, palying the role of genius?" Are you alright?" Saffron asked, worried expression spreaded all over her face. You nodded slighty , trying to pull yourself back to reality.
" No you're not," Robin took a glance at you and said, "you're totally freaked out."

" He's not that bad," Finn said with a sincere look, " trust me." Then Ben said, " we knew it's hard for you to stay with Scott, but if you get along with him, you'll find out that he's actually nice." They started to convince you to try to get along with Scott.

But you know you can't, you just can't. To be with him, you would rather die. You started thinking about should you keep on staying in this club or not. This is just a club after all. You thought as you suddenly remembered something happened to you before, that was bad, totally bad, and sad. You can feel your chest burning, and your eyes moistened.

"Hey guys, you know what? I quit."
