to Sara.

 

 

"Leave her. Anyways, we need Marybella to go down there and get people's attention so peope have something to write about. While I find the dress with Sara, that'll buy us more time since MaryBella's famous."

 

 

The guy looked around then smiled.

 

"I know exactly how to fix her up." he said.

 

"Thanks you." I reply.

 

"Ryan, my name is Ryan"

 

"Well thanks Ryan." I say.

 

 

He got started on Marybella's makeup and outfit, while Sara and I searched for the dress.

 

"Ciao! she's perfect!" Ryan said.

 

"Oh great." I said, after grabbing a few old dresses.

 

"Okay Marybella this is your time, make it count, make it count!" Ryan said.

 

 

She walked out of the door, downstairs. While Ryan and Sara helped me search.

 

 

A minute later Lana came in.

 

"It's not use, it's not here!" I said.

 

Sara wheeled to the door and emerged with Kyle.

 

"He's here!" she said happily.

 

"Great, just what we needed and oh..." i start.

 

 

I looked up and down at Kyle, he was wearing a black sketchy outfit.

 

"Oh hey, Sara's boss!" he said waving at me.

 

"Hey, to you too Kyle." I replied.

 

 

"Okay everyone huddle! At least what's left of us." I yelled.

 

Everyone came in a circle.

 

"Alright Marybella and Rikki are still down there, so we need to plan faster and find that dress now, how are we gonna do is?"

 

"Hey!" Kyle yelled behind us.

 

"Kyle did you disappear from the huddle?" Sara asked him.

 

"Yeah, I know, but I found this dress that was sitting on top of that rack." he replied.

 

 

He pointed to the rack near the changing room.

 

"What?!" I said, outrageous.

 

"Yeah I found it here, it has the name vig-or-ous on it, who'd want this dress?" he says.

 

 

"Me!!" I yelled.

 

Sara rolled over to him, falling down from the wheelchair to the ground. She got the dress before it could be tossed by Kyle's doing.

 

"YES!!" we said to each other.

 

We all yelled high-fived and cheered.

 

"Uh guys help me up, remember i'm injured." Sara replied, under our huddle.

 

 

Kyle picked her up, as we cheered again.

 

"Sorry for that Sara." Kyle said smiling at Sara.

 

"Oh, it's fine." she said smiling back.

 

 

"Aww, what a cute couple!!" Ryan said, squeezing his hands together.

 

"Alright now back to work!" he said, picking out a new dress for Lana.

 

"Oh wait." I said.

 

"Rikki and Marybella aren't here?" I say.

 

"Alright, i'll go and find her and Marybella too." Kyle said putting Sara down as she grabbed her crutches.

 

 

Kyle left downstairs and I ran over to Sara, to keep the dress safe in Lana's changing room.

 

Lana went to hang up her dress in her changing room and changed back into a different one.

 

And just like that, we were back on plan.

 

 

Ryan looked at his watch and his eyes widened.

 

"We've been at this, for like what, an 1 hour!"

 

"What? It only seems like we were here for mintues." I said.

 

 

"Well it's been 1 hour, So I suggest you get this thing done before midnight, when the hunt is over." Ryan said.

 

 

We heard the door open and it was Marybella, Rikki and Kyle.

 

"Oh my god, i'm so glad you're here. Because we're almost ready to leave, we need to go. We have the dress." I said looking and pointing over.

 

Lana was holding the dress, still in it's garment cover.

 

"Alright." Marybellla said grabbing her sweater. Putting it over the dress she wore.

 

 

Rikki dressed up too, putting a black shirt over her outfit.

 

We all quickly, started to get out. When suddenly the door opened.

 

We all paused.

 

 

It wasn't someone with a yellow card and we all hid.

 

Lana hid in her changing room, with the dress in her hands.

 

 

Everyone else, hid and Sara had to use the wheelchair to be extra quiet.

 

We heard whispering and people searching.

 

 

"Where is it!!" some girl yelled.

 

"Find the dress named vigorous and bring it to me!" she yelled at someone else.

 

 

They searched throughout the closet, while me and my team snuck out silently.

 

Lana and Rikki went first, using the elevator.

 

Then Marybella, Ryan and I went.

 

Except, Ryan went back downstairs.

 

 

Marybella and I went in the elevator, met up with Lana and Rikki outside. Lana still had the dress in her hands.

 

 

Lastly, it was Sara and Kyle's turn. I stayed to make sure everyone didn't get left behind.

 

Sara made a noise and one person instantly jumped, going after them.

 

 

Kyle carried Sara up from the wheelchair and he ran with her out the door to the elevator.

 

 

The girl and her crew followed after us, but we made it in time when the elevator doors closed. 

 

I breathed in heavily, while Kyle smiled still looking at Sara.

 

When the doors opended, we snuck out and made a run for it.

 

 

This was the longest drag of time in my life.

 

A fashion heist for fun, huh Lauren?

 

We ran across the street, down the block. Till we reached a restaraunt.

 

 

We all suddenly heard police cars, running their sirens and they stopped in front of the resteraunt w were at.

 

One cop got out and came to us.

 

We all ran like it was the last zombie invasion.

 

 

Kyle carried Sara, as he ran.

 

Lana, Rikki, Marybella and I were left in the dust.

 

An officer came up, from behind us.

 

 

"Do you know what you did wrong Msiss?" he said in a low voice.

 

"Yes?" I said sarcastically.

 

"You stole private property of KARL's magazine company, and do you know what we do to people who steal?"

 

 

"What?" I asked nervously.

 

"We writet them up!" he said angrily.

 

  

At that point, I knew we were in trouble.

 

If we don't find a way out before midnight.

 

 

Chapter Twelve: Lips Are Zipped

  

After getting written up. we sat on the bend of the street.

 

I didn't know what else to do. Since we got caught.

 

That's Me, Rikki, Marybella and Lana.

 

 

We were the only ones that were wearing something from KARL's closet/ Except me, I was still wearing my halloween costume.

 

T

But they suspect i'm just saying that, to cover up from being arrested.

 

 

"Alright you 4 girls, you'll and into the station. My partner will be here to arrest you soon."

 

"Why can't you do it?" Marybella asked.

 

"Because i'm just a regular."

 

 

He stomped off inside the restaraunt behind us, while the others watched us.

 

"Hey officer number, 2 let me just say were innnocent!!" Rikki blurted out.

 

 

"Lana!" I whispered loudly.

  

I couldn't see her.

 

"And why are you 4 girls innocent?" one of the previous cops asked. Putting his hand up to silence us.

 

"Well, you see..." Lana said.

 

 

"I actually work for KARL and if you try to arrest us, you''l be under my many lawyers." she replied.

 

The cop ignored Lana.

 

"You can't possibly work for KARL magazine. Oooh look at me, i'm a model." he said, in front of the cop car.

 

 

"Hey, don't mock me. I'll call up my lawyers right now and get Ryan, yeah Ryan, my old best friend to come down here and bail me out right now!"

 

 

The cop looked at Lana confused.

 

"Please sit down Miss." he said.

 

"Nope!" Lana said, whipping out her phone and dialing the numbers.

 

But what she actually did was text me.

 

 

Her text wrote.

 

Elle make sure you and the others are ready to get bailed out, because I used to work at KARL and Ryan is one of my old friends.

 

 

She finally called Ryan and he showed up in a limo.

 

Which was unexpected.

 

"Hello Lana!" Ryan yelled tp her from the backseat.

 

Ryan then turned his attention to the cop.

 

 

"Officer it seems you have arrested the wrong girl and her friends. Because they all work for KARL, so i'm gonna have to ask you to apologize." Ryan said.

 

"Excuse me, but i'm not gonna apologize for these 4 criminals."

 

"And and i'm not gonna apologzie for your attitiude, because KARL magazine and company actually runs the New York fashion week and hosts the New Years party here, every year." Ryan said.

 

The cop stared confused. "Come again?"

 

 

"I will make sure you get unemployed for arresting these KARL company workers, so it's your choice ride or die?"

 

Ryan was smiling afterwards.

 

 

"Well, i'm sorry for mistaking these young ladies for stealing. We thought they stole clothing from KARL."

 

"Yeah!!" Me and the girls responded to the cop.

 

Me, Marybella, Rikki scoffed and got into the limo.

 

Lana got in shortly after.

 

 

We all drove off, leaving the cops behind.

 

"Oh thank god Ryan, how did you convince them to let us go?" I asked, looking at him.

 

"I used to know a guy." he said, looking back at us, then his phone.

 

 

"Thanks Ryan." I said.

 

"You're welcome girls, anytime." he replies.

 

 

We all sat rode in the limo, resting for a while until we got back to FARELLE.

 

When we finally arrived at FARELLE, the party was still going on and it was almost midnight.

 

 

We spotted Vanessa and Lauren enjoying the party and we all ran up to them, including Ryan.

 

We handed the dress to Lauren.

 

 

"Well done you guys, you did well for your first year." she said.

 

 

Suddenly the clock struck 12:00 and confetti was blown up the air, all colored black and orange.

 

Everyone cheered.

 

 

"Well done girls, you did your first steal hunt. I'm proud of all of you!!" she said, shouting over the partying.

 

Vanessa came back with medals in her hands, that were hung by lanyards.

 

 

"Since it's your first year, you guys get these medals." she said, putting each one on our necks.

 

I looked down at mine and saw it was different from everyone else's.

 

 

"Your's says leader because Ryan told me how much you did a fantastic job leading them." Vanessa said to me smiling.

 

 

I look back down at the medal, leader was incripted on it. 

 

And behind the incription, was a detailed purse and shoe engraved.

 

 

"Hey, where's Sara?" Vanessa asked, still holding the last medal.

 

"Oh, she's spending her last hours on halloween with her boyfriend." Lana said from behind us.

 

 

"Oh, I was wondering if one of you can give it to her...Elle?" Vanessa said.

 

 

I took the medal and ran to the parking lot. I figured, I better give it to her now, than tomorrow.

 

I drove out to the AUX hotel. I remembered now, that's where Sara lives.

 

 

I went up the elevator to her room.

 

Luckily, the door was unlocked and I walked in. Kyle was helping Sara with a new bandage wrap.

 

 

"Here's you medal, you did a great job tonight." I said throwing Sara's medal on the bed near her.

 

 

I closed the door behind me and drove back to FARELLE to pick up Marybella. 

 

--

 

After I packed up my things, I headed for the airport. Waiting for my mom and dad to come.

 

I saw them get off their mumbai flight. And my mom ran towards me.

 

"Elle!!" she said, hugging me tightly.

 

 

I sighed into her embrace.

 

"I'm so happy to see you again, after so long, I miss you." she said.

 

"And i'm very glad to see you again." I replied.

 

Bali hugged me too, finally.

 

"Aw, dad." I said, getting emotional.

 

 

The moment was too good and I couldn't help but smile, at the thought of them coming with me back to Rosewood.

 

"I'm so glad you guys are here." I said.

 

 

"And i'm happy too, the flight back from Mumbai was really long." Mom said.

 

"Yes, long." Bali said smiling.

 

"Alright, let's all get on the flight to Rosewood." I replied.

 

 

I rushed to the gate, as my mom and Bali walked behind me.

 

"Aw not again, another flight?" Bali jokingly said.

 

 

"You knew this would happen. But it's okay, I have you." I heard mom say to him.

 

 

The flight wasn't long, going from New York.

 

We took a quick flight to Rosewood.

 

And when we arrived, I took a deep breath from the air.

 

 

I coughed a few times, before saying anything.

 

I missed this smoky air.

 

 

"Smells like smoke, burning wood and spring....this is definitely Rosewood." I said.

 

Mom chuckled behind me.

 

I smiled happily.

 

 

I took a step
