the camera and climbed up on a chair to reach for it.

 

She took it out from it's hiding place, and then we hear her last words were.

 

"If you're watching this and you heard everything, I'm teribbly sorry. Your life is in danger."

 

 

The video clip ended and the screnn flashed in big letters: DISCONNECTION

 

Alex looked to me. I finally spoke.

 

 

"No matter what, Sara's not getting to me. Alex I want you to kill her, no matter what it takes....this ends now."

 

"Elle, you have tears in your eyes. And you aske for this, you know this means blackmailing right, and i'll actually have to hurt Sara?"

 

 

I look hard, at Alex.

 

I try to dry my eyes by blinking away the tears.

 

"Then do it, because I want whatever Sara's doing to me, to end quickly....and now!"

 

 

I stormed out and closed the door behind me.

 

I knew there was something off about Sara and I intend to find out soon enough, with a little help.

Alex's P.O.V

 

 

After Elle left, I knew it was not her problem anymore.

 

But it's now my problem.

 

She gave me permission to end Sara and I will.

 

 

Just when I was about to disconnect the camera from the tv, another clip of the video showed up.

 

Was this extended, footage?

 

"I guess Miss Sara forgot to turn it off or something. At the least never knew she turned it on."

 

 

I overheard her talking in the background, it seemed like she was getting a call.

 

I scooted close to the tv screen and turned the volume up.

 

 

 

"Yeah, I know. I can't believe they could actually fall for the whole video thing about exposing Elle. She is so dumb and whoever is her secret ninja, keeping her safe, it's gonna end soon. She'll never know and I can't wait to see her thrown away for good."

 

A moment passed before Sara talked again.

 

"I know, and thank you, I'll make sure she get's it soon, alright.....9:00 by the FARELLE parking lot. Sounds good, meet you there bye.....and you know i'm good at keeping my undercover job a secret."

 

 

Her call ended, then she went to pick up a hammer near the desk.

 

She looked straight at and went over to the camera.

 

"Well, time to break ya buddy. Hope you had fun watching me, but it's the last."

 

 

She smashed the camera and the screen went blank again.

 

Instead of feeling lost and wanting to kill Sara for that, I felt happy.

 

Sara can play games.

 

 

She's smarter than Elle thinks.

 

A private investigator, always backs up their recorded video...and mine just came in.

 

As soon as the screen went blank, a small recording tape came out of the transfer.

 

 

If being a private investigator means getting evidence, then's it's only right.

 

I took the tape and played around with it in my hands, as I look up to the black screen again.

 

 

"Wanna play games? Well guess what, i'm coming for you and I playing rough."

 

I look down at the tape. 

 

"Game on," I whisper.

 

Chapter Nine: Sundown Fight

 

Alex's P.O.V

 

 

I quickly dressed in everything black.

 

It was a hideout, I might as well blend into the night.

 

 

I know my way around New York pretty well, like it's nothing.

 

I walked out of my hotel room and hid behind a plastic plant tree, on the other side of the wall.

 

 

And just like I knew, Sara would be getting out of her room in "3.....2.....1"

 

Her door opened and she walked. She was dressed up nicely and she headed for the elevator, when she got a call.

 

"There you are..." I said, quietly under my breath.

 

 

She picked up her phone and answered.

 

"Yes. I'll meet you in the alley way, by the FARELLE parking lot. Kay, see you there. Better bring the good stuff."

 

 

She hung up the phone and walked into the elevator.

 

I quickly waited a minutem before deciding to move.

 

I rushed down the hall to the hotel staircase.

 

 

I quiclkly ran down to the lobby, just in time to see Sara walk towards the entrance.

 

She walked out on the streets to her car and I followed behind.

 

 

I got as fast as I could to FARELLE, because Elle told me about it when we talked on the phone.

 

 

When I arrived in the alleyway, I hid behind some bins, and boxes of trash.

 

In the time I had before Sara arrived, I caught my breath and hid.

 

When my breath was calm, I heard footsteps coming towards the alley.

 

 

I looked carefully to see who it was and it was Sara.

 

This was my moment, my time to get back for Elle....and that's not gonna happen.

 

I walked out to the center of the alley and looked at Sara, who turned her head back and forth, to find this mysterious person she was meeting up with.

 

 

Just then, she laid her eyes on me and her eyes widened for a moment. Then went back to normal.

 

"Finally you're here, so where's the stuff?"

 

 

I quickly ran to her and grabbed her, holding Sara up by her neck.

 

She tries too break free.

 

Still holding her by her neck, I finally spoke.

 

 

"Listen here Sara. Tell me exactly why you're here and what you want with Elle!"

 

She stood there, hanging from my arms, trying to speak. But she only let's out a breath.

 

"Tell me or you face time for stalking her."

 

 

She looks at me deviously, but I hit her in the face before she can say anything.

 

I punched near the mouth several times till she trembled. She placed her fingers on her mouth and saw that she drew blood on the corner of her lips.

 

"Listen." I said, tightening my grip on her neck.

 

 

"Sara you better stay away from Elle, because I can do many bad things to you right now and you promise me that. This is blackmail and if you plead to anyone about our little fight, I will see to you never seeing daylight again. Undersood?"

 

 

She looked at me unphased and I punched her in the face again, leaving a big red bruise on her right cheek.

 

She looked up at me.

 

I slowly untightened my grip and pulled her up to me, making sure I was close enough to her ear.

 

 

"This is your last chance, leave Elle alone. Stop this nonsense you're doing to her....and if you don't, you'll die tonight."

 

 

I let go of her, making Sara drop to the ground consoling her face and before her neck.

 

"Who are you?" she said, getting up as I start walking away.

 

 

"Your worst nightmare and don't worry, iIwon't tell anyone you're a private investigator. So long as I keep this tape recording of you, from when you smashed the camera I put up in your hotel room."

 

 

She looked at me confused.

 

"How do you know that and when were you in my room?" Sara said.

 

 

She was getting up to fight me, but she only stands still once she's up.

 

"Trust me you're gonna, stop torturing Elle, because I have something you want. And you're never gonna know."

 

 

I turned around and left. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Sara standing in the same position.

 

I knew if Sara wanted the tape recording, she's gonna have to keep her mouth closed and her hands off of Elle.

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

Marybella walked through the glass doors and she instantly waved at me.

 

"Hey Bella, how was your lunch break?" I asked.

 

"It was good, took the time to check out and get myself all cleared up at the docters."

 

"That's great, so how have you been since the award show?" I asked.

 

"Eh," she responded.

 

 

"Okay and guess what?" I say.

 

"What?"

 

She looked around then contiuned.

 

"I saw Lana in the girls restroom, kissing some boy who works here. Can you believe it." 

 

"Oh my god, how could Lana do that!!" Marybella said jokingly.

 

 

"I don't know but something tells me, that she's gonna have to apologize for that time she told you to break the news to her last boyfriend." I said.

 

Marybella looked off to the side, then her watch on her wrist.

 

"Sorry, time to get back to work. I gotta go!"

 

"Hey," I start.

 

But it's too late.

 

She ran off her office. And I went back to starting a new blog post.

 

 

"Today's my offcial anniversary of blogging since high school. I wish everyone the best on this day. Anyways, now back to work. We only have some time left before getting off, then later on i'm going with Rikki downtown to take pictures of the Manhattan community for our new Fall Photo Fast. It's gonna be a new series in the magazines. And so far, i've come up with great stories that Lauren approves of, but sadly Sara hasn't came into work lately. I hope that she's okay, or at least is in the right hands if something's wrong. This fall, is gonna be spectacular because i'm flying back out to Rosewood with my parents in one week. Can you believe? I haven't seen my parents since the summer I went to Mumbai.

This time of year, is gonna be perfect and I can't wait till next year. Because i'm gonna announce my successful blogging, and it's because of you guys. Thanks so much, anyways gotta go and see ya next time." - @SummerElleW_86

 

 

 

After work me and Rikki hopped in her new convertible.

 

We drove all around Manhattan and took tons of pictures, then went shopping to get interesting ideas on what to include in the photo library.

 

After taking so many pics, we went out for coffee and sat outside, while we decide to pick which photos we want in the 'Fall Photo Fast' series.

 

 

"So what pics are we gonna put in?"

 

Rikki asked, drinking her ice coffee, while I sat across from her with my drink.

 

 

"I don't know, your the editor and chief of the photography for the writers department, not me!" I said.

 

Rikki laughed and deleted some pictures as we talked.

 

 

Just then everyone around us was staring at something, someone. Probaby walking down the streets.

 

Everyone's eyes were glued, even Rikki's were.

 

It wasn't until I set my eyes on....Sara.

 

 

She was wearing a bright pink dress, and heels. And her skin had a glow, the sun-kissed glow.

 

I didn't notice I was still staring, until she sat down nexr to Rikki.

 

 

Everyone else looked away, as if nothing happened and Rikki just stared at the Sara for a while.

 

Sara played around with the bracelet on her wrist.

 

"So..." Rikki said, trying to atempt conversation.

 

 

"How've you been lately Sara? We haven't seen at work for a while."

 

Rikki motions to me, to start the conversation.

 

"Yeah....how have you been Sara?" I said questionably.

 

 

She breaks her stare from her bracelet to us,

 

"Maitnence, mainly for me personally. I just got my check from this place I worked with the past, earlier today."

 

 

She boasts, and I don't mind. Because i'm not paying attention.

 

I'm looking at something else.

 

I just then noticed something, a little off about her right cheek.

 

"Ist that blush? I've never seen you wear blush before." I say, staring intensely at her.

 

Sara smiles, flipping her back slightly.

 

"It's a first time, for everything."

 

 

"Hey why is your right cheek more red then the other?" Rikki asked.

 

She motioned her hand towards her cheek and Sara looked at us more nervously now.

 

There she was.

 

"I kind of hurt myself this past week and the swelling just went down-"

 

 

Before she could finish, I interuppted.

 

"She must have put on too much blush, that's why it's uneven." 

 

"Yeah!! that's right." Rikki agreed with me.

 

"I put too much blush." Sara exclaimed.

 

 

She laughed afterwards and it made me feel uncomfortable.

 

"Sorry for bothering you two anyways. I need to get back." Sara
