A quick re-cap:
"Fine, I won't tell. This is our little secret." We walked back to the house, neglecting to see Alex hiding under the table.
Trying to Trust
part 3
Alex's Pov
They had found out! I can't believe it. But I had a plan to get back, Lea's journal.
"I know its here," I whispered, "but where?"
I had checked the bookshelf, the bins, and all but under the mattress. Slowly lifting the mattress up, I spotted the colorful book.
Snatching it up, I heard Lea walking in. Leaping behind the bed, I hoped she wouldn't see me.
"Literally! Josie! Some one messed up my room again!"
"Sorry! I can't hear you! You'll have to come here," She called.
Lea walked out of the room and headed downstairs.
This was my chance! I ran straight out of the room like a man on fire.
Lea's Pov
"I can't believe it! I really can't." I muttered. Some one took my diary.
And I knew who did. Running out of my room, I hurriedly checked all the rooms, hoping to find the perp.
But alas, he wasn't to be found. The last pace to check was the deck.
Running down the hall, I headed towards the deck door. Stopping in my tracks, I saw Alex talking to someone.
Slipping through the door, I heard snippets of their conversation.
The coins! The stolen coins!
