--Derek's POV--

"Hold it...so you mean Janet is working with Luke, to force Miracle to have a divorce....uh...I don't know what to say.." I said while I started to sink into my chair and rubbed my head.

"Wow...how awkward..." Scott mumbled.

"Yeah.." Brad agreed.

"Janet...you mean Janet Fisher?" Megan blurted.

"Yeah! how did you know that" Keith replied.

"We used to be friends in high school and I still keep in touch with her till this day!!" 

Everyone looked around. We already knew what we were thinking.

"Can you call her now? We need to know!" Claude says and Megan nods. She grabs her phone out of her pocket and dials her number. 3 rings and we hear a voice.

"Hey Janet!" Megan exclaimed.

"Hey Megan, Look, I have some gossip that has to deal with Luke and this chick Miracle!" Janet cried in excitement.

"Really!? Give me the scoop!"  Megan pretended to sound surprised.

"So, this case all started with this hot guy named Luke. Sad news, he's married but not long. Her name is Miracle and she is pregnant with Luke's child. I might date him after this case is over. Anyways, Blair wants to meet me...she wants to plant another tape recorder to listen to their conversation-"

"Wait! You planted another tape recorder before?" Megan questioned.

"Yeah but Luke's mom told me to do it because she wanted to know what conversation Miracle and this Adam guy had...I bet it was juicy but she didn't listen to it. I have to go...I'm hear at Blair's house...talk to you later." She hangs up.

..............

"So it was Luke's mom who planted this tape recorder...makes sense....but....this doesn't feel right.." Claude confessed.

"How? We have the perfect answer!!" Brad exclaimed.

"Unless....Wait a minute! She knew Keith was going to read the letter! Thats why she put his name in the riddle...maybe she lied to us....I don't know..this doesn't make sense.." I confessed but everyone was agreeing.

"I know how we can find the inner truth." Keith announced.

............

"I can't believe were breaking in!" Amelia whispered. All of us were outside of Janet's. Keith knew where she lived so were here in front of her  house...well...only Amelia, Oscar, Scott, Keith, Brad, Claude, and I. Megan and Jackson are keeping an eye for us to watch out for cops or Janet or anyone. Amelia pulled out a hair pin and she worked her magic. The door opened and all of us went inside. We looked through everything and nothing.

"This chick has a diary...who tried to keep an diary but failed?" Oscar asked and Amelia raised her hands.

"I was trying to write everyday but failed."

"So did I." Brad said and everyone laughed.

We kept looking and looking and nothing.

--Amelia's POV--

"...Oscar...help me climb this." I asked and he helped me. It was an old tree house that didn't have ladder. I think they took it off since its night. I went inside and I found something. It was a little box. I opened the little box and gasp.

It was a letter...a long letter.

Dear Janet, 

I am currently following Adam and Vanessa in Paris. I want you to fake the riddles and fake everything. I was the one who put the tape recorder in Adam's room when Miracle had a fight with him. Pretend that my mother wanted to find out and keep your mouth shut about it. Pretend that you are friends with Blair and make sure not to file a divorce for Miracle and I. I want to tell Vanessa one last thing before I disappear from her sight in life. I am going to confess my sins to her and tell her I love her. To be honest...I purposely kissed you in the grocery store because I saw Vanessa there. I wanted to let her see me not only as a cheater but a liar as well. I don't deserve Miracle or Vanessa. I am going to be a good father and a good husband. I knew the tape recorder was going to happen. It was going to be discussed at one point. I am sorry if this letter breaks your heart. 

From,

Luke Miller.

Ps. The only reason I wanted to put the tape recorder in the first place...was because...I wanted to know what was going on....

I folded the letter and placed into my pocket. I climbed down and I told Oscar everything.

"He's a good guy...he's just making difficult mistakes..." I admitted and Oscar nodded until..

"OH MY GOODNESS!!!! THERE'S A SNAKE!!!!" Derek shouted and we heard crashing noises in the house.

"GET THE SNAKE BRAD!!!"

"NO!! YOU GET IT!!!"

"MOMMY!!!!!"

"WHO WOULD KEEP SNAKES AS PETS!!!.....SPIDER!!!!"

Suddenly, the whole neighborhood lights turn on and Oscar looked at me.

"We need to get out of here" He shouted. Oscar grabs my hand and we ran. Megan, Jackson, Claude, Scott, and Keith ran. We left Brad and Derek behind. We had to save our lives. YOLO!

--Back Home--

"So...whats next? We know Luke was the one who wanted to know what was going on....now what?" I said.

"I guess....we'll know when Adam and Vanessa gets back."

--At Paris--

"Everything is amazing...we should definitely write an article about this." I said and Adam nodded. I was going to my room and Adam wanted to keep our relationship a secret since we are here with our co-workers as well. I went to my room and shut the door behind me. I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and my eyes widen. Luke.

"W-What are you doing here?" I asked. He shut the door behind him and looked at me.

"Janet drove me here...look...I'm sorry for all the things I said to you and I'm so sorry that I hurt you. At the wedding...I was dancing with the girl I married....I kept staring at you because....I wished I married you...but....I married Miracle because she's pregnant...she still calls you her best friend you know...I was harsh to her...I purposely made out with someone because I still love you...but...I'm sorry...for everything....please forgive me"
