Sherlock Minter

Sofia's POV

I watched the message of Jerome calling me come up and I slowly answered him.
"Good morning Jerome" I greeted him over Skype. He had finally unblocked me and now I could see his face as we spoke.
"Vikk told me about your surprise trip to Florida" he explained, right on track. He wasted no time.
"Why are you acting so surprised by it? I told you I was coming" I replied as I heard how the door downstairs was opened. It was the both Cal's and the rest of the sidemen coming over for a games night. They had no idea about our trip yet, but they would soon.
"I never told you I was in Florida" he replied.
"But you are all over the internet, and Vikk was happy to help with the exact place you are living in when we spoke about it" I told him simply.
"Meaning you demanded him, like you always do" he hissed and I shrugged.
"Or your friend is back stabbing you" I replied, I loved playing these mind games. I saw him flinch, that was great. It meant he was hurt by the thought, meaning his friends were a perfect way to get to him. Meaning Vikk would be extremely helpful.
"You were never a good liar" he told me.
"Maybe not, maybe I made Vikk tell me where you lived. But does it really matter. It just means that Vikk are wrapped around my finger, just like everyone else here" I replied and he rolled his eyes.
"It means you are blackmailing them, which isn't right" Jerome argued.
"It means that I can make them do what I want. I am in charge" I smiled. "And when we finally meet it will be amazing to watch your friends hurt you" I told him.
"They won't do that, they'll realize soon enough that you will never win and then you will have nothing" Jerome replied.
"It will be too late when that happens" I replied simply and heard how Josh was coming towards my room, probably so he could tell me the others were here. "I'll see you in real life next time" I told him before shutting the laptop shut.

When we were all sat in the kitchen speaking about stuff I was watching the newest members of my crew, well they would be. I just had to figure out their secrets first.
"So, Sofia. What do you think? Cheese or cereal?" Vikk asked as he and Simon was jokingly arguing which one was better.
"It doesn't matter much really" I replied simply and turned to Harry who was sat beside me, hoping I could chat myself to his secret.

I didn't stop his conversation with Josh and the Cal's and just watched them as they spoke. Listening carefully and watching their every move. Harry moved very much and talked like he was really excited about something, I think they spoke about that game Simon plays all the time. FIFA.
"So, is Guernsey a nice place to grow up?" I asked Harry out of the blue, only to start a conversation.
"Yes, it's so awesome there, have you ever been?" he replied.
"I haven't. Maybe I'll go someday, I've always wanted to know more about it" I replied.
"You should go, it's really great over there" he told me, I could sense how JJ was listening on us but I didn't say anything.
"I definitely will try" I replied. "But I heard you go home quite often too" I continued.
"Yes, of course. I love it over there" he said, he blinked three times while saying 'yes, of course', a clear sign someone was lying.
"Do you ever go anywhere else too? Like to a girlfriend or something?" I asked and watched how he got nervous, almost unnoticed.
"Yeah, I got a girlfriend" he told me with a smile, but he was almost sweating as he said it.
"What's her name?" I asked, not really caring but needing confirmation on my guess.
"Ehm, Katie" he was definitely lying by now, which I found very amusing. I studied him closely, he didn't have a girlfriend. He was lying to us. Maybe he didn't want the guys to know about his secret hobby. His fan charming hobby.

"So, how much do you like your fans?" I asked, a smirk creeping on my face.

"I adore them" Harry said, he was sweating and blushing by now. Seriously, how did people not notice?

"So, do you like your secret..." I tried finding a fitting word for it. "Hobby?" I asked, his eyes widened a bit but he still played it of cool.

"Ehm, it's. Yeah" he replied nervously, the boys listening to us, I could see Simon frown as he watched us.

"Nice talk Harold" I told him before patting his shoulder and standing up, I had what I needed from him.

"What's his hobby?" Tobi asked, clearly confused so I turned around from going away.

"It is Harry's place to tell you" I replied and looked as Harry looked extremely uncomfortable.

A few minutes later I walked into the living room as they were about to play some would you rather.

"Hi Sofia, you joining?" Ethan asked me and I sent him a smile and nodded.

"Of course" I replied and sat down in the ring between Josh and Harry.

We played for quite some while before I decided that it was boring and wouldn't help me at all.

"Can't we play two lies one truth instead?" I asked and Calfreezy shrugged.

"I don't mind" he replied simply.

"Sure, I'm in" Callux agreed.

Simon glared at me but still nodded, knowing I would expose him otherwise.

"Can we play you guys against me? Because I don't know you that well" I asked and Simon sighed deeply.

"Of course Sofia" Josh still said and I smiled.

I had now learned that this was the best game to play when you wanted to learn people's secrets. And as my four victims were sitting side to side I made Tobi start.

"Well, um... I once drank spit, I've dated a girl for over a year once, I can't swim" he spoke and I rolled my eyes and looked at Jide.

"You are better at this game than him" I spoke leaving everyone confused, before I turned back to Tobi.

"I suppose you don't mean to tell all truth. Or you mean to do that because you are a horrible liar" I told him before studying him.

"What?" Josh asked confused and looked at his friend.

"Give me a lie Tobi" I dared him and he shrugged.

"I've been arrested" he shrugged and I smirked, he was dared to lie yet he told another truth.

"This is a trustworthy guy, I like that" I said and smirked.

"He just lied though?" Ethan questioned and I nodded.

"I suppose he did, but I did tell him to though, didn't I?" I asked, now it was me who lied to them. But they were too stupid to notice.

Then Freezy went, but he thought for a while about it.

"I've never seen the lion king, I hate football, I have walked in on my parents" Cal said all his lies one by one.

"You've walked in on your parents" I said without a doubt. "But you also h..." I got stopped by a hand in front of my mouth.

"Do you want the story?" Cal asked us all and then began explaining letting his hand fall of my mouth as he spoke. I knew I was right now, and he knew I was on to something.

That night I had all nine of them in my group.

"So, I suppose we'll see you at the airport on tuesday" I said as we hugged goodbye.

"What? Are we going somewhere?" Harry asked sounding confused.

"Yes, we are all going to Florida on a nice trip, didn't we mention that?" I replied making everyone else confused.

"I'm pretty sure I never agreed to that" Calfreezy told me.

"I don't think I asked any of you, I told you" I replied simply.

"What is she on about?" Callux asked, confused of his mind.

"I'm not on about anything. But I do know stuff, about each of you, that you don't want anyone else to know" I answered.

"Is she blackmailing us to follow her to America?" Ethan asked really confused.

"I am indeed. Come here at nine AM with whatever you need to bring. I would suggest boots" I replied and then walked away from the front door.
