Spied On

A Fight

- Guys before you read this, I apologise that it's such a short chapter ok. I didn't mean for it to be so short. 

Nightfall2000-

We arrive back at the den, panting.

'That was close,' I say.

'Too right,' agrees Becca. 'We were literally inches away from being caught.'

'Well at least we found something out.' I say.

'Yes,' says Becca. 'We found out that Mr Roder is our main suspect.' 

'Hmmm,' I say. 'Well, we can't jump to conclusions, we had better make sure.'

'I agree,' says Becca. 'We'd better do some more snooping.'

The dinner gong rang and we went downstairs to join everyone. When we arrived down there, I sat next to Becca, but instantly left a gap on my other side. I didn't want anyone else to hear us.

'Bolt down your food,' I say. 'Then we can leave, and have a look around the grounds.'

'Ok,' says Becca.

We wolf it down and are out of the door before the others are halfway through. I run to shady brook and Becca follows me. We flop down on the ground, but out of no-where Mr Roder appears.

'Well, well, well,' he says. 'Look who's here.'

I stand up and clench my fists, ready to fight.

'Oh, don't worry,' he snarls. 'I won't HURT YOU!'

As he says that, he hits out at me and I block it with my elbow. He jumps up and twists my arm behind my back. Before he can go further, I grab him with my other arm and twist him into no. 5. I grab Becca and we run up to the den. We flop down on the sofa, when my dagger necklace starts flashing. It only does that when something is wrong. Very wrong. I try to stop it bleeping, but the penny drops. 

'I know why it's flashing,' I say to Becca. 'Mr Roder. Cam in hospital. Injured.'

'No way,' says Becca. 'You don't think... It was Mr Roder?'

'I'm sure,' I say. 'It was him. He's the one who made Cam get into hospital. He wants to get rid of us.'

'He's a teacher!'

'I know,' I say. 'But that doesn't change anything. Professor Smith's in on it as well. They want to get something, but what?'

The bell rings and I go to morse with Professor Smith. I may be able to find out something in his lesson. I walk to class and hope that something will happen.
