JAKE'S POV

Dexter just continued to stare at Arisa and I. "Well?" He asks with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Arisa looks at me worriedly. I realized now that Arisa probably wasn't the best at lying. I clear my throat. "Actually, I had found this under my mattress earlier before you went upstairs. I was waiting for you to come down so I could bring it to you." I say without a hint of lying. Dexter nods and still stares at us curiously. "Did you read anything from it?" he asks. "No." I say immediately. Dexter turns to Arisa. "Arisa, I know you won't lie. Did you read anything from this note?" he asks furiously. Arisa stares and him for a while. Calista walks in. "Guys-um Trudy needs us to set the table. C'mon! Bye Dexter." she says and walks out the room with Arisa and I trailing behind her. Once we get to the dining room Arisa sighs loudly and clings on to Calista. "Calista my savior! I was about to lie." she exclaims why she takes a seat at the table exaggerating every movement. "Ya well don't touch me again! And your'e lucky I came in on time... But I wasn't lying... We really do have to set the table." she says and goes into the kitchen to grab the plates. I trail behind her and grab the cups. Just as we finished setting the table, Victor walks in carrying a briefcase. "Students gather around! I will be going out tonight so I will want to be able to hear a pin drop by 9 o'clock. Do you hear me?" he half-shouts. "Yes Victor." We all mutter. I see Dexter share a look with Cassie and Erin. They are obviously taking this to their advantage and going to search early tonight. I pull Arisa and Calista over. "So Dexter and Casie and Erin are prob-" I say. "We need a name for them... what about The Chasers?" Arisa interrupts. "The Chasers?!?!?" Calista and I say at the same time. "Ya... cause they are chasing us to the next clue." Arisa says. I shrug agreeingly. "Anyways, The Chasers," I say while Arisa nods. "Will be going to search at around 9:30ish to have insurance Victor won't come back forgetting sometime. I say we go at 9:10 and get the clue first." I finish. Both of them nod. Trudy calls us over for dinner and we all sit down. Halfway through dinner Cole is staring at me. "Hey newbie," he says. "were your parents tired of you and just shipped you off to England?" I give him a dirty look. "Actually... I got expelled from my old school, got into a big fight. I can show you what happened to the other kid if you'd like." I say trying to be serious. I technically wasn't lying. I mean I did get expelled, just not because of a fight. Cole looks down at his plate and continues to eat his spaghetti. Dexter gives me a fist bump and Arisa and Calista are dying from laughter. Cole stands up and grabs his plate. "I'm not hungry anymore." he anounces to the table. He walks back the kitchen but trips on one of the chairs and drops his plate of spaghetti straight on my head. I grab my water and splash it right in his face. The whole room erupts into an outroar of flying food and screams (mainly from Cassie for ruining her outfit.). Victor walks in and we all stop. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" he shouts. "WHO STARTED THIS MESS?" he asks. I immediately point at Cole only to find out that he is pointing at me too. Everyone else at the table keeps their heads down. "MY OFFICE NOW BOTH OF YOU" Victor exclaims and Cole pushes by we and takes the lead behind Victor. On my way up the stairs, I see a glint of.. gold? coming from the stairs. I make a note of which stair it is and continue on my way up to Victor's office. "You both have been disrespectful," he says jabbing his pointer finger at us. "Rude, and a bad influence. I want to be able to see my face in that toilet bowl." Victor says grabbing two toothbrushes out of this desk and hands one of to each of us. We make our way downstairs in an awkward silence and see two new faces in the Dining Room. One is a lady and one is a man. The lady is a red head and she is accompanied by an eldery gentleman. They both turn around and Victor walks up. "Oh Robert! How was Egypt? I'm sure Denby treated you well?" he says smirking. The whole of the housemates stare in awe for this is the first time that we have seen Victor being funny... or nice for that matter. "Well Victor, we have another topic to discuss." The man called Robert says. Victor looks at him quizically. "We do?" he sees our confused looks. "Oh yes we do." Victor leads Denby and Robert upstairs into his office talking in hushed voices as they ascend up the stairs. I walk over to Calista and Arisa. "That's weird" Calista says smirking. "Something about that man doesn't seem right..." I say staring at the painting of a man and a woman with a redish-brown eye behind them. Suddenly, it's as if gears start in motion inside my head. I pull over Calista and Arisa to the hallway outside my room. "Guys! New mystery time." I say excitedly. Calista looks at me like I'm crazy and Arisa just stares at me confused. "That man..." I say dragging them both back into the Dining Room and stop them right in front of the painting. "IS RFS!" Arisa half-shouts. We all walk into my room where no one could hear us. "So... that old man, is Robert Frobisher Smythe. But wasnt he like born in the late 1800's?" Calista asks. I mean she does have a point, I think to myself. After all, she was the one who researched him the most in the computer lab. "Maybe that is his son? It could be possible... But then that means he is probably staring Death in the face right now! I mean he is like 100+!" Arisa says. Calista shakes her head. "No, in all my research, his first wife, was African-American and that son died last year about. And his other marriage only had a girl. We can contact the granddaughter from the first wife. I was able to find her, and get this. It was KT Rush from last year." Calista says. Arisa smiles and pulls out her phone to call KT. I stare at them both. "Whose KT?" I ask "After all I wasn't here last year." Arisa pulls up KT's contact picture. "Oh! I've seen here in the school pictures in the hallways. Arisa calls KT and asks about Robert Frobisher Smythe. "Umm I'm sorry. All I know about him is that he built Anubis House and that her daughter lived at the nursing home nearby. I'm sorry. That man isn't my great-grandpa. He is long dead by now." KT says and then hangs up immediately after. I stand up to stretch and make my way to the door to get snacks from the kitchen. I grab hold of the handle and turn it. Suddenly, Dexter, Erin and Cassie fell in. "Were you spying on us?" Calista says putting her hands on her hips. "Ummm..." Dexter says "I guess welcome to Sibuna?" he says
