Chapter 9: The Babysitter

"Don't worry at least we have the note" one of the officer said as Kyle walked downstairs. "Emmmm, no the note is gone too" I said as he pointed to the empty table.

"Mam this is serious please follow us now" The officer said. "Kyle please help babysit Brian and Erin for me I will be right back" mom said following the cops. "No I have plans tonight" Kyle said but mom was already in the cops car.

I went up to my room and brought out the note which I swiped and kept it in my pocket I needed it to find the answer to who stole my project. "Erin! Dinner is ready" Brian said badging into my room and I quickly hid the note at my back.

I forgot to lock my own door so Brian caught me. "What are you hiding" Brian asked. "Nothing" I said immediately. "Isn't that the note they were looking for?" Brian asked he has already sighted the note.

"Where you eavesdropping on us?" I asked him too. "Yeah I also need to find dad" he replied. "Look I will explain everything to you after dinner" I said following him to the dining room, we all sat down and ate together until Kyle had a phone call.

"Yeah, you are here, great" Kyle said and hung up the phone. "Who was that?"  I had to ask. "It your Babysitter" Kyle replied and went to go open the door. "I thought you are gonna babysit us" Brian said getting up from the chair.

"Not anymore, say hello to your new Babysitter, Mindy" Kyle said showing us a weird lady. "HI" Me and Brian said waving at her. "You all should have fun, see you by 9:00" Kyle said and shut the door. I was shocked he didn't use his car cause the back door was open and I saw something inside and when I tried to look Mindy blocked me from looking.

"Tell us about your self Mindy" Brian said braking this awkward situation. "No thank you i don't talk to much, I think you should do the telling" Mindy said looking around the house.

I dragged Brian and started whispering to him about Mindy while she was busy admiring the whole house. "Where do you think Kyle got this Babysitter from?" I asked Brian still whispering. "I don't know, the street." he replied.

"Talking about me?" Mindy said as we looked at our back and saw her staring at us. She pushed us to a wall which surprisingly opened as we fell inside she closed the wall.

"Where are we" I asked getting up and Dusting my trousers and so did Brian. "I don't know" Brian said looking around. "Like a kinda secret room" I finally figured that out.

"That door where does it lead us to" Brian said. "Let get out of here it dusty and choking" I said coughing. We walked and banged the wall as we cried help.

"Keep it down" Mindy said, she opened the wall and tapped our forehead. We then lost our balance we became weak and felt sleepy then we suddenly fell asleep.

"That will keep them quite" Mindy said laughing I could here her voice even with my eyes closed. I suddenly woke up and I saw Brian he was already awake, he was eating crackers and a cup was beside him.

"Am Glad you are awake have some tea" Mindy said drinking from a cup. We were still in the secret room I could tell when I inhaled the dust. When I had a taste of the tea I immediately spitted it out.

"This is just hot water" I said. "Yeah that is only what I take" Mindy said drinking more. "What a weirdo" Brian said whispering to my ears.

"I heard that" She said and stood up Immediately. "Why are you doing this?"  I asked. "One word, sister" she said making a half smile to her left cheek.

"Shut up someone is at the door" she said.

"That is rude for children" I said.

"I hate children" she said and left the room.

Me and Brian figured out that the wall didn't have a lock so we pushed it, it was hard at first because we were pushing to the wrong direction.

"This is why I hate Babysitters" Brian said.

We finally pushed it open to the living room where we saw Kyle. We couldn't find Mindy anymore, she was gone!! Kyle shut the door which broke the silence.

"Why would you leave us alone with such a babysitter?"I asked Kyle. "I don't remember leaving you alone at all" Kyle said. "Then tell us what you remember" Brian said.

"Well, someone texted me about a party, but I told the person I was going to babysit but the person said he will do it for free" Kyle explained. "Sorry you agreed" I asked.

"Well, yeah, but when I went to the venue no one was there" Kyle said. A knock on the door interrupted our conversation, I was afraid to open the door, then I hard to say it when Kyle reached his hand to open the door.

"Don't open it" I said, scared. "Erin is right you don't know who is behind that door" Brian said. "Yeah, the person that brought the Babysitter needed you to leave the house, but why" I said bringing more reasons why he should not open it.

"Come on guys don't be silly, you can grab a weapon if you want besides the police men are still guarding us" Kyle said and reached his hand to the door knob and twisted the handle as the door squeak opened.
