Virginia's bubbly laugh filled the room as Charlotte finished telling another one of her stories. Charlotte had told her crew to leave hours ago before setting us up with her friends. "When do you find the time to do some of these things?" Virginia asked, playing with her brown hair.
"I don't know," Charlotte replied, "But somehow I managed to fit it in between work, cooking, cleaning the house, shopping and taking care of my children. Speaking of which, I have to go. Tell me how everything goes with Jasper and Atticus"
We nodded and said our goodbyes before she left in her minivan. "Where is everyone?" I asked as we walked back into the house.
I hadn't seen anyone all day. Virginia just shrugged and went upstairs, leaving me alone in the living room. I sat on the couch, not sure what to do, when Blaze, the twins, and Evanna came rushing through the door. "What's wrong?" I asked, standing up.
"We need to get the jewel tonight," Blaze said, "I have no time to explain. Everyone get your costumes on and grab anything you might need. We won't be coming back to the house"
"I'll go tell Virginia," Dola said as we all ran upstairs.
Evanna and I went up to my room and grabbed our stuff. I had a stripper outfit and enough makeup for me to look completely different if it was done right. Evanna was a homeless girl. "Can you do my makeup?" I asked once we had our clothes on.
She nodded and got to work. Once we were finished with our makeup and hair, we gathered everything we needed and stuffed them into a few duffle bags before going downstairs. Tonight's the night, I thought to myself, It's time to get that jewel.
