The perfect timing (In Editing)

Chapter 15-

But Liam like the guy he was commented wiggling his eyebrows at Aiden and me, "Oh, I can."

"Me too," Eric tells us then and Aiden asks him in amusement. "You also transferred from a girl school?"

Eric's eyes widen in realization. He tries to correct himself, but fails miserable. His rambling makes us all laugh now and soon he gives up and joins us. After that he have a lighthearted conversation and enjoy the rest of our lunch time. It's the first time I feel calm after the accident.

Later that day, when I finally arrive at home I want nothing more than take a nap. Though I'm greeted by my aunt, who is nervously walking through our apartment. Her sight freaks me out, because I immediately think of Nancy. Did something happen in my absence?

"Lily what are you doing here already? I thought you were still at work?" I ask her, eyeing her suspiciously.

"I got a call from Jocelyn, one of Nancy's workers, who is currently taking care of the bakery. She told me that someone broke into the bakery," she tells me and my mind goes blank.

"She said that nothing is missing, that is why she didn't call the police. But she wants us to come over and take a look," my aunt continues. She has her bag already in her hands and I don't even think twice when I take my phone out of my backpack and tell her we should get going.

"Thanks for coming that quickly," Jocelyn tells us relieved when we arrive at the bakery. The poor woman is still shaking and my aunt gives her a reassuring hug. How would do something like this and why?

"No problem," my aunt answers.Just tell us what happened."

They both walk inside and I follow them in silence. Lily guides Jocelyn to the closest table and tells her to sit and calm down.

"I went to the bakery at noon to open it like every Monday, because we talked about the fact that Nancy wanted her shop to go on," she says her voice still shaking. "But to my surprise the door was already open, which was odd, because I was the one who closed it the day before," she continues with a frown plastered on her face. At her words I'm taken back. 

"So the only logical thing to me was that somebody had opened it," the woman tells us, stealing paranoid glances around the room, like somebody would appear out of nowhere.

"What did you do then?" I want to know, my gaze not leaving her face.

"Carefully, not to make too much noise I went inside and looked around, but I didn't notice something suspicious at first. But then I saw someone  and before I could do anything the person run away," she goes on and my aunt and I look at each other in surprise. 

"Was the person a boy or a girl?" I question.

"I'm not sure. I think it was a girl. The person had short hair, but looked more feminine than masculine. Though everything went so fast and when I followed her, she was already gone," she sighs in frustration and I give her an encouraging smile to cheer her up.

"You did your best. Don't be too harsh to yourself." Lily says to her and the woman smiles slightly in return.

"And nothing is missing?" I ask again, to be sure, but she shakes her head.

"But you can look around, if you want," she tells me and I get up to take a look around.

But she is right. I don't see anything missing. The money is still where it should be and other than that there is nothing really expensive in here. I even go into the kitchen to take a look. It brings memories back and I shudder at the though. But there it is the same, everything is in it's place. That girl wasn't here for money I come to the conclusion. Maybe it is the same person, who took control of Nancy. I'm sure there is a connection somehow. That only means one thing. I have to visit the M.E and talk to Juliette. She is probably able to help me out.

"Did you find something?" my aunt's head suddenly appears next to the door frame.

"Sadly no," I tell her, shaking my head. "But I need to go somewhere," I say, biting my lip and hoping she isn't going to ask me some questions.

"Okay," my aunt replies confused.

"I will be home before dinner," I say passing her and walking towards the front door. She follows me, but she is still unsure what is going on. I use that chance to escape.

The fast my legs can carry me I run to the M.E. I seriously hope to get some answers there. After all Matthew Enterprise is a place run by super humans. They should know how to find one.

Hey to everyone who is actually reading the author note. I hope you liked this chapter. Aiden and Liam just met Kitty and Eric. What did you think about that? And about the fact that somebody broke into the bakery? Was it really the same person, who controlled Nancy's mind? Leave a comment about your suggestion and please vote. Have a beautiful day!
