Crazy. That was the only word to describe yesterday. Mia and Colocks may be acting? It would be scary if they were. But, what happen if they are?

I mean the officer yesterday said that they were known for their acting skills. But the officer may not be real. Guess I will just have to find out the truth myself.

I woke up, sitting up. I still could not get that warning out of my head. I was so frustrated. Looks like I am going to be a detective for a while.

I walked out of my bed, dressing. Since I wasn't going anyway, I wore a plain yellow and magenta shorts. With my fishtail braid, I darted out of my room, trying to find Colocks and Mia.

Where are they? I could not find them at all. I tried going to the doctors' office to find Mia, hospital kitchen to find Colocks, and still I found nothing.

It was like they disappeared.

" Aquarius, what are doing here? "A voice called out.

I turned around, looking at Felicity. She was the nurse that appeared yesterday. " I was looking for Mia and Colocks.

" They have went out for something." Felicity informed, looking away.

It feels like she is hiding something.

" Do you have something to tell me?" I asked, moving closer to her.

Felicity moved slightly away from me. " I got to go." That were the only words that she said before leaving in a hurry.

Something is definitely not right. Looks like I will still need to investigate.

I continued walking, thinking. Mia and Colocks have become quite hard to trust. I hope they were not acting. " Doctor! " I bawled, running towards the doctor.

" Yes, my dear. What do you want?" He asked patiently.

Maybe he can help.

" Where did Mia and Colocks go?" I questioned, faking a smile.

The doctor's face turned from happiness to anxiety. What is going on?

" Doctor?"I continued, waving my hands in front of his eyes.

" They......... I don't know." He replied, leaving hurriedly.

I stared at him as he walked away. What are they hiding?

I continued walking, trying to think. Are they really acting? But why? Why are they trying to act in front of me?

Suddenly, I remembered Natasha. I am sure that she can help me. I am sure. I darted towards the hospital kitchen, looking for Natasha.

" Natasha!" I called out, running towards her. She was having her lunch.

" Why are you here, dear?" Natasha queried, eating her chicken curry.

I would definitely want to try that one day.

" I want to ask you a question."

" Ok."

"Where did Mia and Colocks go?"

" They........They went out to see someone." Natasha replied, shaking a bit.

" Who?"I asked, looking closely at Natasha.

" I don't know." Natasha replied, taking her plate and moving back into the kitchen.

What is going on? Why aren't they telling me? It is not like I am a zombie or a virus. Or, am I?

I started to walk back into my room, forgetting about my lunch. Well, I did forget about my breakfast too.

Hanging my head low, I slowly dragged myself back, not wanting to give up. But, no one would tell me. So,how?

" Aquarius, I got something to tell you."

I looked up, staring at Felicity. She was squeezing her hands, sweating profusely. " What did you want to tell me?" I questioned, with my hopes fading away.

Felicity grabbed my hand, pulling me to a corner. "I need to tell you something. Promise me that you would do whatever I tell you to." Felicity told me anxiously.

" Why? Why must I ?"

" There is no time to explain. Leave the hospital immediate......" Before Felicity even finished her sentence, she dropped on the ground, with blood spilling on the ground fast, spreading out.

I stood rooted to the ground, only to see a person dressed in black suit holding a gun.

" Come to Forever sake Central. I caught a traitor." He said, talking to his walkie talkie.

" And as for you, did you hear anything from her?"
