Charlie's POV

I was sleeping soundly when I felt a sharp nudge on my shoulder and I leap up, Eddie beside me holding his hands up like he just about to do karate.

Fabian" Eddie,Charlie, I heard a smash"

Eddie" Uh, dude never wake Osirians by stealth"

Fabian" There was a crash, Eddie, Charlie something's happened, something bad's happened"

Eddie" Alright, Charlie go get Patricia and KT, we will wake Alfie"

I hurry upstairs and wake KT who looks at me with a confused dazed look.

KT" What's going on?"

Charlie" Fabian heard something, a crash, come on"

KT" Okay, I'm coming"

Both of us tried hard to wake Patricia, who nearly walloped me in the face. Once we were all awake we met the boys in the hall.

Fabian" Look, I'm telling you there was a huge crash"

Charlie" We've looked everywhere"

Patricia" Not everywhere, what about the secret room?"

Once we are all down the ladder, Fabian and I are the first to notice.

Charlie" Fabian, look, no"

Fabian"No, no! Not the phonograph!"

Both of us lean down to look at it, he picks up a piece and so do I, I inspect it, whoever had done this wanted to make sure we couldn't put it back together"

Charlie" It's wrecked Fabian, look at it, there is pieces everywhere"

Fabian" This is a disaster"

KT" But no one knows about this place, except us"

Patricia" Maybe it was Denby or Victor"

Charlie" Okay look if they went to this much trouble to smash it then it must have been important"

Fabian" Maybe this has the answer we need to stop Frobisher"

Eddie" Then we have to fix it, right now we have to get out of here before anyone finds us, come on"

I sighed, the last thing I wanted to do right now was sit in class when we could be solving the broken phonograph.

Dad" Well, I just wanted to check on the progress of this terms drama module, have you given any thought as to what your final piece might be?"

I nudge Eddie neither of us had any idea.

Dad" Um, anyone?"

Miss Denby" Uh, perhaps a school play and I'd be happy to assist in any individual one on one coaching"
