I pull my head from my hands and notice the dark smudges on them from my mascara. I wipe under my eyes and stand up.

I stay still for a couple of minutes while I try and shake all the thoughts that are creeping into my mind. What did they want? Who were they? Why did they hurt me? What did they find? And where they are now.

I hated fighting back but I had to and I'd do it again if I had to. In fact, I'd use more force, then maybe I'd have escaped. But I didn't think, I moved pathetically and now look where I am. I feel harassed, although the only part of my body they really touched was my mouth then they held it close. My hip got brushed past, I don't know whether that was part of their plan to make me vulnerable or that was accidental. None of this was accidental, it was planned. They were searching for something of mine and the main place they looked was my pocket. That's some sort of clue.

I shove my hands in my pockets and pull out all the rubbish remaining. My hand holds out tissues, timetable, lip balm, a lot of wrappers and the envelope of fees. They didn't take my money.

Something about that makes me shiver, if it wasn't for money, what was the purpose of that?

*Luke's POV*

I stand straight as I see Beau and James jog over, they are only going at a medium pace. I gesture for them to hurry up and James does so but Beau trails behind laughing. When Beau catches up to James and they stand in front of me, I notice the dark red circles on Beau's jaw and a lighter bruise on James' face.

"Wow, she's a fighter. I'm afraid we underestimated her." Jai says as he scans the boys faces.

"But we got the keys so who cares." James groans.

"Okay, so do you all know where to go next? I need Jai to help, James you stand outside and guard and Beau you need to run back to the house and get my laptop, you then call me so I can connect the cameras, got it?" I order and Beau nods.

"You need to run, not jog. Run." I repeat to make sure he understands. It takes a lot of speaking to get something through to his thick head. I swear I got the brains and the good looks between us three brothers.

"I'm older than you." He laughs.

"I'm wiser."

"I'm older therefore you shouldn't be ordering me around and wiser doesn't count."

"Oh I'm sorry, please don't tell mom." I tease. He then runs off in the direction of our house.

I take the lead and walk to the door, James shoves the key into the door and pushes it open. Jai steps inside and I follow, James stays outside and pokes his head in the doorway.

"What happens if someone comes? What's the signal?" He questions.

"I don't know, do a bird noise or something." I say, looking around at the stack of books and the picture frames which are spread around the room. One of the pictures has a little girl with huge blue eyes and brown hair buns and an older woman, I'm guessing that's her mom, with the same hair hugging each other, there is a boy also in the picture, he's around my age with the same sort of face at the little girl. They all look so happy. It's off putting. I put the picture face down on the counter and look up at James.

"A bird noise? How do I do that?!"

"I don't know, I'm not a bird nerd." I grunt, walking up the stairs.

When I find the bedroom which I assume is hers, I open it to see Jai on her bed. He sits with his phone out.

"Nice room." He murmurs.

"Yeah, if you're a girl." I respond, poking at a teddy bear left on her bed. I then walk over to the stack of books, this house has too many books. I throw a couple on the floor and look at Jai.

"What?" He questions, noticing.

"Well, give me the cam and the wires." I roll my eyes.

"Oh shit, yeah." He pulls out the equipment and hands them to me.

I shuffle around the room looking for a good spot to put the camera. I find a high shelf and jam it between more books. I then pull out my phone and dial Beau and he answers on the first couple of rings.

"Are you home yet?" I ask.

"Yeah, I just opened up your laptop." He replies.

"Okay, go onto that programme on the laptop that it told you about, the one with the red squares and the camera, got it?"

"Yeah..."

"Then go onto the selection me-"

"I know, you showed me, just turn the cam on so I can see you." He interrupts and I do what he says.

"Can you see her room?" I ask.

"Yeah, nice room. But move it a bit to the right, so you have more view of her bed."

"You need a girlfriend. And a life." I choke. "Okay, we're coming out now. I just need to put some wires  into the camera. See you in five." I hang up the phone.

I look around the room for some wires or something i can use. I scurry around her bedroom desk to see a book hiding behind the desk. Like a diary. Oh this will be good.

I reach forward to try and grab it but something catches my attention. A wail. Like a cry or something, Jai jumps off the bed and looks out the window. He looks at me and i shake my head. Fuck. Someone's coming. I bend down and shove a wire into the gap, but it doesn't fit in. I tug at it but Jai yanks my top backwards, i try to rush back to pick the diary but he's already pushing me out the window onto the roof. 

"Wait, i need to grab something!" I shout. 

"I'm not getting caught." He spits.

"I just need to grab it, it won't take long."

"Luke, do you want to get caught?!" He says angry and with that he slides down the roof and makes a jump to the ground. I look back at the window then to the floor where James and Jai are standing, they seem worried. They look to their left side and then run behind a tree. 

I hear the door open and before i can think, i slide down the roof, and copy Jai.
