How you get the girl

Die in your arms

Leo and ruby came back over to all of us, and Vincent had a worried look on his face. I decided to question him a little. I gave joey the phone to hold In his pocket and took Vincent by the arm and went in the next room.

"Yo little dude let go of me" Vincent squirmed and I sat him down on the bed. He could tell I was MAD.

"James, what are you doing?" Carlie asked and ran in the room with Vincent.

"Carlie get out." I firmly said.

"But-" she started

"GET. OUT." I shouted. She had a shocked look on her face and so did everyone else. She slowly left the room. I can't believe I just yelled at the love of my life. I'll have to apologize for it later. But for now, the party starts in 3 hours and we have to find geeana by then. Anthony can't cancel, everyone is already coming.

"So, Vincent. Have you seen Geeana since after school? I saw you with a big bag when I was coming here. What were you doing?" I asked him. I pulled out the pocket knife that Anthony had that was in MY jacket pocket for some reason, so I decided to threaten him to tell the truth.

"No not at all. And I was taking out the trash from last night" he replied. I didn't believe him for a second.

"I know you know where geeana is. Tell me NOW." I pulled up the knife to his throat. I can't believe I was doing this.

"OKAY OKAY ILL SAY IT. GEEANA WAS GONNA TELL ANTHONY THAT SHE WAS GOING TO MY HOUSE FOR THE PROJECT THAT MR. ROSS ASSIGNED US FOR SCIENCE FAIR AND WHEN SHE WENT TO THE BATHROOM SOMEONE SAID THEY HAD SEEN HER WALK WITH SOME OTHER GUY, AND HE HAD HER BY THE NECK AND THEY EXITED THE SCHOOL. I REALLY LIKE GEEANA AS A FRIEND, SHES A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE EVEN THO WE DONT ACT LIKE IT. I WASN'T GONNA DO ANYTHING WITH HER, BUT I ASKED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AFTER HER TO LOOK FOR HER AND WHEN I CAME BACK MR. ROSS WAS ASKING FOR HER AND I SAID SHE GOT DISMISSED." Vincent screamed everything, and everyone crowded around the door, tears in their eyes. I still had the knife to his neck so I turned around and pulled it away.

"So was that really the trash that I saw you taking out on my way to your house?" I asked him.

"Oh, that wasn't me. I took my trash out in the dumpster behind my house." Vincent explained.

Anthony started crying. Again. Harder this time. And louder. He fell to his knees and I knew he thought the worst.

"Come with me everyone. We're going to the police." Anthony said.

"But we can't. She hasn't been gone for 24 hours and remember, the party-" joey said.

"No time for that. She's more important to me. We're going right now."

"I'll drive" Vincent offered. "I can take my moms minivan so we can all fit."

"Thanks man" Anthony said.

We all ran outside and got in the car and Vincent drove off. About 5 minutes into the ride, Vincent stopped and saw someone walking down the street. "That's him." Vincent said.

"That's who?" Leo asked.

"The guy who someone said they saw drag Geeana by the neck and exit school." Let's follow him first." We all agreed and Vincent turned around drove slowly, not too slow, and followed to where he went. He arrived at a big house with Halloween decorations since it was Halloween today. We parked down the street and arrived in front of the house.

"Since there's a lot of us, Me and Anthony will go up and knock on the door. You guys stay in here and watch from here. Joey, take notes. Ruby, record everything. James, be the lookout for anybody that comes and yell for us. Leo, keep carlie safe plz. baby, you stay safe. Vincent kissed Carlie on the cheek and him and Anthony ran up to the door. I told Leo to switch jobs with me, so I stood in front of Carlie.

"James, do you know if she will be okay? She is your friend after all-" Carlie was talking to me.

"Uhh-uhhhh...."  I stuttered.

"Yes she will be fine." I quickly turned around so I didn't have to look at her too gorgeous face.

Vincent knocked on the door. We could all see everything from what ruby was recording. We all watched in silence.

The guy we saw opened the door. "Hello, who are you?" He answered in a British accent.

"Oh um" Anthony started, "may we come in? We are home inspectors and we are inspecting everyone's house in the neighborhood." Vincent gave him a weird look.

"Umm.. sure come right in" the guy said. It sounded like he had nice manners.

"Alright guys. Me and James are going to go up to the window so we can record in there. You guys stay here." Ruby said and dragged me with her. We could see everything from the windows, but we had to be careful so the guy didn't see the phone. Or us.

"Don't go in the upstairs rooms" the guy said. No one is allowed in there." He said, with a mean look on his face. Anthony looked suspicious so he started up the steps with Vincent so the guy followed behind them. Me and ruby quietly entered the house and recorded them going up the steps but we didn't follow. Anthony and Vincent saw us and motioned for us to leave but we didn't. The guy didn't see us, so he pushed Anthony and Vincent to go forward. They looked uncomfortable.

"Is this your room?" Anthony asked pointing to a locked door.

"Yes" the guy said. " I will be right back. Do NOT go in there. I am going to make some tea for us all." Me and ruby hid behind the couch while he looked around but kept walking and went in the kitchen in the next room. Ruby and I ran up the stairs with Anthony and Vincent so we could all enter the room.

"Are you sure this is the right guy?" I asked Vincent.

"Yeah, positive"
