"The report was made, but they said there wasn't any evidence that could tell us who did it," Miss Kate said, sitting behind her desk.

She repositioned the paper-weight orange cat on the pile of folders. Taking a sip of her coffee, she looked up at us. "I'm sorry guys."

"This is so dumb," Ozzie complained looking down at his notebook. He was chewing on the end of his pencil, looking down at the paper with brows drawn. "What are we missing?"

"Are you sure they can't identify them?" Scarlet stared suspiciously out of the office window, inspecting the street below. "I'm a little worried to see what else they have up their sleeve next."

Kingston sat beside Ozzie, running a hand through his hand. His eyes were focused on nothing in particular. He was probably running over the possibilities of what Scarlet just said.

"Well, I'm tired of all of this shit," Gen pulled her knees to her chest, sitting in the chair beside me. "The last competition may have gone well but we were so close to having everything fall apart."

"First we lost one of our dancers and our choreographers..." Zhu said running her hands through Ozzie's hair.

"Then one of our songs got stolen..."Ozzie pointed out.

"Then our costumes were destroyed..." Scarlet mumbled.

"And then I was stuffed into a supply closet." It was a lot to keep track of. We somehow had managed to push through all of it and stayed in the competition, but this had to stop.

"I know guys," Miss Kate rubbed her forehead and closed her eyes, looking exhausted. "It's been a lot. But there's not much we can do. The officials said even with evidence of foul play they still can't just accuse any random team."

A laptop sat on the table facing the group. It was paused on a surveillance video. After everything happened on competition night, we reported the whole incident to the officials, and security footage was taken from the building. There was just one problem.

I clicked on the space bar and the video repeated itself again. It was grainy and flickering but you should still see enough.

I was back in the hallway again. Two people appeared out of the corners of the video, advancing in on me.

They covered my mouth and lifted me up, throwing me into the closet. The door slammed and they both disappeared.

And the problem was that you couldn't see them,

"Kate, I know you said you didn't want us to get involved but..." Kingston stood up, looking more serious than I'd ever seen him. "This isn't a problem that's going to solve itself."

"Yeah, let us just do some looking around. We can figure out who did this," Ozzie said confidently. I believed that we probably could. Everyone was eager to have things go back to normal. Plus Ozzie and Kingston always had a way of figuring things out.

"I don't know," Kate grimaced and gripped her coffee mug. "I don't want you guys in any trouble right now. We have the last competition to prepare for and we're this close.." She held her thumb and forefinger a centimeter apart. "...to winning."

It was true. Even though the first place position was fair game for all three teams, to be able to jump from 3rd to 1st would be hard. This last competition was really between us and Rodale and we still hadn't figured out how they had managed to outrank everyone since it was their first year.
