The Island

Part 4 - 6

Six:

"We're home!" Sara announced as she entered the cabin's foyer. "Oh, you're back early." Carmen said, walking out of the kitchen area. "Did you find anything?" She asked all of them. The four stood as they did right before they left. Sara leaned forward and looked at her fellow explorers. "Nope." She replied. Carmen sighed. "Really? Oh, that sucks." She said in a motherly tone. "I'm sorry. We'll find him." "Yeah, we will." Michael nodded. He broke off from the line and headed for his room. "Stop!" Carmen yelled at Michael as he walked away. "What?" He said, annoyed as he turned back to her. "You're tracking mud inside! Take your shoes off! All of you." She said to the rest. They all, in unison, bent over and untied their shoes. Michael threw his in a frustrated manner at the door. Sara politely opened the front door and set her shoes outside. She held the door for Andie and JT to do also. Carmen stood in the center of the foyer like a parent and watched JT take Michael's muddy shoes and toss them out the door. "Thank you." She said. She turned back to the kitchen and went back to doing whatever she was doing before. Before Sara could even speak to Andie, Logan came running down the steps in front of them. "Oh, thank goodness you are back." She said, running down the steps. Her white pants, light pink tank-top and blonde hair expressed themselves in a fashionable sense as she ran to Andie and Sara. "What's the matter?" Andie asked Logan. From the stairs, Wyatt appeared and began down the stairs. "Oh my God." She said, looking very distressed. She looked to JT, still standing there. "If you wouldn't mind, this is private information I'd like to share with the head investigators." She said. "Of course. He said, putting his hands up and stepping away from all of them. Without approval from Sara and Andie, he went for the stairs. He passed Wyatt on the third stair from the bottom. "Okay, Wyatt-" Sara tried. "He can hear. He's apart of this too." Logan cut Sara off. Sara nodded. "Okay." She looked at Andie and gestured into the library. "Let's go in here." Sara said, walking toward the library. Logan, Andie, and Wyatt followed her into the glass doors of the library. They all entered and became silent. Sara turned to Logan and sighed. "Okay, what's up-" "What's up? A stalker is what's up. To be specific, on our roof-" "Logan, slow down." Sara stopped Logan. "No, this is getting so freaking insane." Logan replied quickly. "Logan, you're not making sense-" "Both Wyatt and I saw someone in our window last night-" "That's impossible." Andie said. "Your roof is on the second floor." "Yeah, and that's the crazy part." Logan said. "Someone, in a ski mask was outside our window, watching Wyatt and I alone." "We want answers." Wyatt spoke up. Sara shook her head. "You guys, that's insane. Are you sure it wasn't a raccoon or something-" "Absolutely sure." Logan interrupted her. "Do you have any idea who it was?" Sara paused for a minute and looked down. "Logan..." She trailed. "There's no way someone was out there. And in the rain? How did they even manage-" "They used a harness." Wyatt interrupted. "It was nailed to the roof or something-" "But you're just guessing." Andie said to Wyatt. "No. I know it was nailed to the roof. I went after them-" "You did what?" Sara exclaimed. "Yeah, I got out of the bedroom window and climbed onto the roof. I saw their figure, but they were masked from head to toe. It could've been anyone." Silence fell over the four in the library. Sara let their details sink in. She was deeply troubled by this - not only had an anonymous person murdered the host of the party, but they are spying on the living too. After all that's happened, Sara wondered if Logan and Wyatt were telling the truth. Jeanette had already gone crazy after Adin's disappearance, which isn't like her. And now Logan had come crying to her about someone spying on her and her boyfriend in the bedroom. "I hate to ask this, but you need to give me the most honest answer possible." Sara said to both Logan and Wyatt. They nodded. "Are you telling me the truth?" Sara asked. Logan paused her a minute. "Yes. I swear on my own life, my mother's, and all my pets at home." She replied. "And yes, I promise I am too." Wyatt added. Sara listened to them both and sighed. She felt defeated and overwhelmed at the same time - something she had never felt before. "This kind of confirms something for me." Sara said, not bothering to look up at the others. "What is it?" Wyatt asked. Sara drew a breath and exhaled. "It think, without a doubt, JT did this."
