Stakeout/ Vigil 1

January 14th

"Good morning Diary!"

Today, I woke up in a good mood, coupled with the fact that today was the day that Lissa, Tony and I decided to do the stake out since we couldn't do it the day Dany and I had an arguement.

Besides, by the second day, I had a swollen lip and I couldn't bear to let anyone see me that way so I decided to stay at home and pray some more.

"Okay guys, let's do some checks." Lissa said as she took a notepad and a pen.

"Uhm...okay?" Tony said, looking unsure of what she meant.

"We need to be well prepared. I made a list of the things we'd need so that we would not be caught unawares in case any situation arises." She said as Tony looked at me, shrugging.

"And remember, we don't need too much stuff. It's not like it's a sleepover or anything-" he said.

"Yeah, yeah I know. T'is just a few necessary items." She said.

"Okay, we'd need some blankets since we'd be lying in the hedges to keep watch over the house. I wouldn't want some bug crawling on my body. Bleurgh!" She shuddered as I chuckled. Lissa's always been irritated at the mere thought of bugs.

"Check! A pair of binoculars is what we'd need next."

"Binoculars? Where would we get that-" I asked, surprised as Tony brought a pair of binoculars out of his bag.

"Where on earth did you get that?"

"Well, it looks like having an adventurer as an elder sister does come in handy at such a time." He said, feeling good about himself.

"Adventurer? Is that even a thing?" I asked as they both nodded, happily and I laughed at my self for not knowing such a thing existed.

"Okay? What's next?"

"We'd need a torch."

"But won't that attract attention to ourselves?" Tony asked as Lissa and I paused in realization.

"Oh bummer! That's true." She said.

"Oh no! What on earth are we to do now?" I asked already feeling frustrated.

"Hmm" Tony made a thinking noise.

"Look guys, I think we should just start from early evening hours..." I suggested as Lissa shrugged. Good thing they already told their parents that they were gonna stay the night.

Mum had to stay at work today for her night shift so she was glad Lissa and Tony had come over.

We got our things ready for the stake out and by 7:00pm, we were already laying by the hedges that separated our house from the wierd house after spending sometime to pray about the mission. We stayed low for quite sometime,praying silently and waiting for something to happen. Then it did!

What?!
