"Mabel?" Sophie asked. She was so confused, seeing Mabel's face appear through Dex's Imparter. 

"Hey, Sophie," Mabel said, showing off a huge smirk on her face. Anger rose in Sophie. Did Mabel know where Dex was, or worse, was Mabel the one who took him? 

"Sophie, don't be ridiculous," Mabel said. "I would never kidnap your friend, especially him. He doesn't even look that useful." Sophie gasped. 

"You take that back!" she shouted into the piece of technology.

"Can't if you know it's true," Mabel shot back curtly, with a huge grin spread across her face. Sophie just glared back in disgust. Talk about rude, she thought. 

"Why do you have his Imparter, though?" Sophie inquired.

"I . . . found it on the ground when I was walking around. It was ringing and it said 'Sophie Foster on the front."

"Where were you?"

"At . . . on my way to the Councillors," Mabel answered.

"But一Whyactually, I don't need to know. Just get over here so we can search," Sophie said, then ended the call.


Once Mabel arrived, she had a sparkly purple notebook clutched in her hand as she walked inside. 

"Who's that?" Sophie heard Edaline whisper to Grady

"Not sure," he answered. "She was here earlier, though."

"My name is Mabel, to those who don't know," Mabel explained. "I've come here today because of my dear friend, Sophie."

What? "Friend?" Pfft. As if.

"I have thought about some effective ways to retrieve Dex as quickly as we can. When you are ready, I shall explain."

"Why is she talking so fancy?" Sophie whispers to Fitz. He looked back at her and shrugged.

"Well, however she's talking, I think it's cool. It brings out her personality." Fitz answered with a sigh.

"Personality? What personality?"

"Smart, cool, and nice, which you are not being right now." Fitz glared at Sophie as he went to sit on the couch beside Biana.

"Now, let's begin," Mabel said.

Oh boy.

Sorry if you already read this chapter and didn't understand it. I already wrote this chapter but after I published it, all my work didn't save. That's my fault, I guess. And sorry this chapter is short — I had to find some way to connect this chapter to the next one.
