Runaway Orphans (1D)

Chapter 19: Undercover Time: Zayn, Liam, And Belle

~ One Week Later (Thea's P.O.V) ~

"We better go visit Ralph," I said.

It has been a week since the nasty spiders have taken our home over. We have been staying in a hotel across the street while the exterminators get rid of all the spiders. Tina is going to be shipped back to Australia. Apperantly Ralph had illegally bought Tina and didn't know it, so he wasn't charged with any fines. But he certainly was being charged for his hospital bill. Insurance didn't cover much of the cost. At first, Ralph wasn't doing so well. He had been bitten by Tina about 15 times, and about 30 times by all the baby spiders. Luckily the spiders hadn't injected a lot of venom into him. If they had, Ralph would have died.

"Hey, Ralph," We all say as we walk into his hospital room. His face is very swolen, but we are used to it by now.

"Hewwo," He says with swolen lips.

We stayed and talked to him for a while and found out he would be getting out of the hospital in a few days if all went as planned.

After the visit, I observed something. No, not like a scientist. Trust me, i'll never go all scientist on you guys. It's almost like the atmosphere around me when I'm with the others has changed. Usually I can tell something is up when that happens. I wonder what's wrong? And why don't I know? I know what I need to do. Undercover Time!

When we got to the hotel room, I constructed a plan. Step 1: Wait out a bit. I have to determine a category for this disturbance. Who is it about? Who is causing it? I know exactly what i'll do.

Everyone was gathered in the living room watching tv, fighting over who gets to sit in the last spot on the couch. I decided to sit on the floor. I pulled out a notebook and pencil. I would have to record anything unusual. I wrote the date at the top, then I felt someone next to me.

"Whatcha doin'?" Zayn asked, looking at my notebook.

"Nothing suspicious like plotting a murder," I said, trying to act normal.

"Plotting a murder?!"

"Maybe."

"LIAM! SHE'S PLOTTING ANOTHER MURDER!" Zayn screamed.

Hmm, this is a bit unusual. I will have to write this down, but I can't put Zayn's name down just in case someone reads this. I need a code name for Zayn. Hmmm, what about... Hairspray? No, too obvious. Unicorn? Yes, nobody would ever suspect Zayn to be a unicorn. I have to talk in code too.

I wrote: The Unicorn was overly excited about the "murder."

Then, my notebook was swiped from my hands by Liam. "There will be no murder plotting in this house!" He said jokingly. He read what I wrote then handed back the notebook. "That sounds like a creepy unicorn."

"Yup," I said. "I told you it wasn't murder plan."

Liam's code name can be Light, Louis will be Rain, Harry will be Sun, and Niall can be Cloud. For the girls, Fern can be Store, Belle is Roof, Andie is Lamp Post, and Margaret can be Bag. I know, these are really sucky code names, but whatever.

I wrote a code in the back of the notebook:

P= Light

T= Rain

S= Sun

H= Cloud

M= Unicorn

I put the first letter of each of the boy's last names is equal to their code name. This would be harder for the girls since we all have the same last name, so I'll use the first two letters of their first names. It will confuse anyone who finds this.

I wrote:

Fe= Store

Be= Roof

An= Lamp Post

Ma= Bag

There, now I will be able to remember who's who.

"But seriously, what are you writing about?" Zayn asked again.

"None-yah," I said.

"None-yah?"

"It means none of your buisness."

"Oh. Well, tell me anyways."

"We're a bit information greedy today, aren't we?" I wrote that in my notebook.

"What? No, I just... Wanted to know."

"Sure you did."

"I really did."

"Okay then." He truely was acting a bit strange, I wonder if he is part of this atmosphere change? I'll call it the AC. Liam seemed the same as always, but there was only one more thing to do that would make sure of that. "TOY STORY MARATHON!" I screamed.

"OH MY GOD YES!" Liam screamed, practically throwing himself onto the couch and ordering five pizzas.

Well, he surely is acting normal.

After that was announced, everyone left except me, Liam, Zayn, and Belle. Everyone left because Liam usually played Toy Story non-stop, and they could watch it any time they wanted. I guess they all weren't in the mood, which was normal. But why had Belle stayed?

"Your going to watch Toy Story with us?" I asked her.

"Yeah, why not. I've got nothing better to do," She said.

I wrote: The Roof is acting normal.

We watched Toy Story until about 2 am, then we all fell asleep on the couch.
