A Sudden Return 3/3✅

Miraculous Ladybug: 14

Alya looked back at where Sabrina was sitting. Not beside Chloe, but Lucas, since she couldn't move seats anymore.

Well Chloe wasn't here anyway. She was still stuck at Master Fu's lair, Master Fu trying to find out about everything as he could.

She caught Sabrina's eyes, Alya looking at her as if she had done something wrong. Sabrina quickly looked away.

"Why are you looking at her that way?" Marinette said, after catching Alya sending a little tiny glare towards Sabrina. "You don't still think...?"

"I'm going to talk to her," Alya looked down. "I'm not crazy. I know she knows something. She might even be the one with the needle."

"Alya, calm down."

"She might have even helped Chloe set Hawk Moth free. She might have done a lot of stuff," Alya sighed. "I'm going to talk to her after school."

Sabrina suddenly stood up. "Miss, me and Alya have to go somewhere," she looked at Alya, who looked at her confused.

Did she know I wanted to talk to her?

"Okay, but make it quick."

After given permission, Sabrina got off her seat, Lucas whispering, "Sabrina, what are you doing?"

Sabrina didn't answer. Instead she walked up to Alya, nodding for her to follow her. Alya didn't hesitate as she got off her seat and followed.

What is going on between those two?

-

"I guess you knew," Alya said as she walked out of class, "that I wanted to talk to you."

"Alya, I've noticed all those like you're giving me. But trust me, I'm not guilty!" Sabrina tried to keep her voice down. "But... I do know something."

Alya looked directly at her, waiting for Sabrina to continue.

Sabrina sighed, taking a deep breath and letting it out. "Before I came to get milkshake with Lucas, I caught a guy who was really acting weird. Anyways, he got out some needle and stabbed it on some man."

Alya's eyes went wide. "Who was it?"

"I don't know. He had short, green hair, and a short beard," Sabrina tried to describe the man as best as she could. "He was wearing a leather jacket, black pants, and big brown boots. I don't know..."

"Thanks Sabrina... If you're telling the truth," Alya told her. "But who would this man be and what would Chloe possibly know about him?"

"Why Chloe?"

"Eh... Nothing." Shoot. Sabrina doesn't know that Chloe is behind the escape of Hawk Moth and Matthew. She also seems to have forgiven Lucas though.

"I have to go!" Sabrina watched as Alya quickly started walking away. She quietly followed.

"What did she say?" Marinette asked Alya as she sat down. Alya just shook her head, and told her she would tell her later, leaving Marinette to nod and wonder what it was all about.

"Lets go over to Master Fu after school," Alya whispered. "I want to know if he knows a certain person."

-

"I examined the needle you gave me, Marinette," Master Fu explained when the four of them got there. "This is the real needle, but if what you told me was true, Alya, then I'm guessing that there's more than one in Paris."

Nino went over the description of the man Alya had just given them. "Maybe we should as Chloe?"

Master Fu lifted the sack off her, and there was Chloe, trying to catch her breath.

"Do you know how hot it is in there?!" She yelled. "I nearly died. And I'm hungry!"

"You didn't feed her?" Adrien turned to Master Fu.

Master Fu shrugged. "I thought she could last a few days without eating. Don't people usually do that?"

"Chloe," Nino walked in front of her, holding up a paper. "Do you know this man?" He had tried his best to draw the man according to Alya's description.

Chloe frowned at the picture. "I don't know any weird looking guy!"

"What's the name of the guy who has got the other needle?" Adrien asked, folding his arms.

"Oh Adrienkins, you actually think I'll tell you that?" Chloe tried to laugh but her stomach rumbled.

"If you don't tell us," Alya kneeled down in front of her, "then we're not going to feed you!"

"What?!"

"And it has got to be the truth," Marinette added quickly. "We would be able to tell if you're lying or not, you know."

"So who's the guy?" Nino pointed to his picture.

Ugh! They got me! "It's..." Chloe bent down. "It's Matthew..."
