Lucky Me

Chapter 5

I have to go all FBI on my moms case. There is no way she could have lost. She does research on everyone she's working with and/against. She's the best, she can't possibly lose. I realized today was Saturday and I'm awake at 7:30 am. I never wake up that early. So why not investigate now? Okay. In going. I have to find out what she did wrong or the judge.

I went downstairs to get some breakfast and leave, but something caught my eye. Bret and my dad were awake talking at the table at 7:30 in the morning! They didn't see me until...

"Good morning Layla." Dad said

"Why are you awake?" Bret said.

"I don't know. I guess I just woke up. I'm gonna go out and do some errands." With that I made eggs and got orange juice and sat with them.

"I didn't mean to interrupt. You guys can continue." I told my family members.

"We just finished." they both said at the same time. Something is up.

"Well okay than. I'm leaving now" and I just left.

I don't know where to go. Do I go to my moms office? Look over some things. Or do I go to the other lawyers office and ask questions? I'll do my first choice and see what I find.

"Hello. How may I help you?" The lady at the front desk asks.

"I'm looking for Mrs. Browns office."

"She's not in there at this moment."

"Oh. I know. I'm her daughter she asked me to look over some things for her. She couldn't come in today."

"Oh! I'm sorry. Okay. It's the third floor, 5th door on the left."

"Okay. Thanks." after I said that I left. I'm a good liar. I should use that more often. In going to remember that.

I got into her office. She's very neat. It's crazy. I think she has OCD or something. This place is crazy clean and organized. I just looked for recent research papers and I found a lot. It's crazy what she does, and she love it!!! Wow. This is hard work. Anyways back to the subject. She has everything and more. There has to be something wrong. I need to copy all these papers to read them on my own time and I did it. I got them. Yay! I'm gonna go home shower and read over these.

"Hey guys I'm back!" I tell my family.

"Hey honey. Where were you?" asked my curious mom.

"Um...I went to pick u-up papers for my project and e-essay due on Monday. I've got to start. I'm going to do upstairs and work on them. Please don't b-bo-bother me." I stuttered on some of the words and I said it fast, hopefully they don't notice. I went upstairs and started to read my moms notes. Everything seems to be perfect. If its perfect how did she lose? I need to solve this.
