The Threat (S1 Ep10-14)

Rose and Kat

Rose: When we're done with the budgets, just be missing the balance sheet and the profit and loss account. My mother helps us with this part.

Joan: We're in the final phase of our plan.

Rose: Yes, but the hardest part is yet to come. Get it all in practice!

Joan: Don't worry, with dedication, commitment and...

Rose: ... And hard work, dreams do come true!

With a smile on the face of both, we hit our hands. My mother's phrase was recorded. And based on it we had started this adventure with no fear of hard work. We had dedicated all our summer to this project. The school and the city have already heard the name "Kat Rose Fashion". With the fashion show we were preparing, we were hoping to broaden the knowledge of our brand to the whole County.

While we were working on our plan Elizabeth remained listening. Waiting for the right moment to move forward with her next step.

I was just with a small cake like breakfast and my stomach continued to complain.

Joan: Jesus Rose, are you still hungry?

Rose: Kat disappeared yesterday, the whole afternoon... – Strange, Joan showed no concern or admiration before my words. - ...I didn't have dinner well nor get much sleep. I woke up late and with the haste, I skipped breakfast, in fact, the cake was not enough.

Joan: So let's get to the bar. Make a morning snack.

Rose: All right!

Joan: We can continue to work there.

Rose: I don't think it's a good idea. Easily someone can see what we're doing. After classes we continue.

Joan: After classes I can't, Rose.

Rose: Why?

Joan: I have some unfinished business to attend to.

Joan and her business. One thing is for sure, talk about it, let her look much more worrying than the disappearance of her own godson.

In the evening I returned to the school library. I was determined to finish sooner as possible this part in the business plan.

The girls had followed for you’re their rehearsal and Joan had the "business" to take care of. When I got to the library, was practically deserted. Only the employee and two more students were there. One of them was Elizabeth.

Elizabeth: Hi Rose, may I? - Before I could answer, she had already pulled the chair and sit down. I tried, quietly, pull the papers with the symbol of our brand, putting the cover of a book over these.

Rose: Sure. So, it’s everything okay? - I confess that I felt a little intimidated. I do not know Elizabeth well enough and for her to have this comfortable left me a bit much disturbed. I had this feeling...

Elizabeth: Rose, I hear you're a genius at math.

Rose: Genius is a bit much, but yes, I like math. I do okay!

Elizabeth: The false modesty looks bad on you.

“I’m sorry!”

Rose: Elizabeth, don't get me wrong, but I'm with overdue tasks, I need to get back to work.

Elizabeth: Of course, I don’t. You wouldn't be interested in tutoring?

My immediate reaction would be to say no. "False modesty". But I couldn't.

Meanwhile, the other student had passed by us and followed to the hall.

Rita: Here it is. Elizabeth distracted her, she didn't notice. – Said passing her my phone.

Anna: Thank you, Rita!

Rita: Always at your service.

With the dismissal of Rita, Anna sent a message to Elizabeth.

From Anna: I've got it. Plan in march.

Elizabeth: Sorry, it was a message from a friend.

Rose: It's not a big deal, but I advise you to turn off the sound, otherwise the employee expel us.

Elizabeth: Oh… Done it. We can proceed.

I don't know what turnaround was this, how had I just end up the afternoon tutoring. However, what was happening in the meantime, even in my dreams more strangers could predict.

Joan was on the way to her grandma's house when her cell phone started ringing. It was my call, but it was not my voice she heard.

Anna: If you want to see your dear little friend you just have an option. Revert my curse!

Joan: If you touch on one hair of her...

Anna: "You have until the end of the day to make it disappear!" Otherwise the hair of your little friend will be your last concern. I heard she loves fire…

Joan: AAHHH! - Unleashed a scream of rage and despair with the words of Anna...
