In the wrong hands

Chapter 15

Marinette

As the days wore on, the more I started falling for Adrien even harder. I was even starting to miss Chat less and less to my dismay. But Adrien would calm my nerves about Chat's where bouts with his comforting words.

Everyday seemed to be more amazing then the last. We would watch movies and even go out to restaurants all over Paris. I felt myself loving this life with Adrien even more than I could have ever loved my old life. Everyday we would wake up and make breakfast together then eat it on my balcony. Even my nightmares have been absent! For some reason, I felt like it would always be like this now. I was sadly mistaken.

One day we were about to go to Olive Garden for lunch, when we heard a loud knock on the bakery door before the bell jingled.

We both froze staring at each other, me with one shoe on and Adrien just about to pull his hoodie over his head.

"I'll get it." I stage whispered and slowly stepped out of the one shoe I had on. Adrien looked at me worriedly.

"Where do I go? And before you say in the closet, I'm claustrophobic remember?" He whispered back.

"Just stay in here!" I slowly walked down the stairs, leaving Adrien alone in my room.

"H-Hello?" I called out tentatively.

"Hello ma'am, My name is Officer Flic and I'm here to ask you some questions."

Adrien

My palms were sweating as I pressed my ear to Marinette's door, hoping to hear who was downstairs.

"Hello ma'am, My name is Officer Flic and I'm here to ask you some questions." Came a deep voice from downstairs.

My blood froze and I broke out into a cold sweat.

Is he here for me?!?! Do they know that I'm here? Are they going to hurt Marinette?!?!?!

These thoughts coursed through my mind in a frenzy, making me want to catapult through the door and protect Marinette.

I was about to bolt down the stairs when I heard their conversation.

"When we confiscated your phone we found that you had a conversation with Adrien or Chat Noir. Their voices are hard to distinguish even with our finest technology. So tell me two things. Who was it, and where are they?"

The officer's voice with gentle but demanding at the same time. I face palmed at the memory of me calling Marinette while she was getting interrogated.

Stupid stupid stupid stupid

I chanted in my head.

"Ummm.... I....." As I heard Marinette struggle for words, I thought of a plan.

I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed Marinette's number.

Marinette

"Ummmm.....I....." I hesitated as the officer grew impatient.

"Listen here Marinette, Do you realize how much trouble you're in? You could get out of trouble by telling us where Chat Noir and Adrien are or---"

MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW

I squealed as the Nyan cat theme song blared from my phone.

The startled officer dropped my phone with a thud. We both looked at each other as the phone continued to ring.

"You may answer that. But you have to put it on speaker."

I nodded and picked up my phone gratefully.
