So here's CAVES Chapter 6. . . yeah. Whatever.

CHAPTER 6: The Secret

Lucy was tired. She had been running for quite some time now. She had tried finding ways of losing them, but none of them worked. She finally hid in a janitor's closet and stayed there for a while. After she had caught her breath, she peeked out of the door. No sign of either of them.

She snuck back to where Marty and Bruce were, and started to act like she had been there for a long time. She decided to wait until they were back at the house to tell Marty about what she had found out... that is if Seth didn't cause any trouble first.

When they got on the boat back to their new home, Seth looked back at Lucy with a stern look on his face.

"Tell me Lucy, why were you spying on me?" he asked agitatedly.

"I wasn't. I went for a look around and I happened to walk by you and the other guy," she said innocently.

"Then why did you run?" he asked. He had just cornered her now.

"I-I don't know," Lucy stammered.

The rest of the boat ride was silent. Lucy decided to write in her journal what she had found out.

March 23, 2007, after the lab

Wow. That lab is really hi-tech. I found out something that I don't like at all. I snuck off to try to get some background info on Seth and some stuff on CAVES. I was walking along a hallway when I heard people talking. A man was there yelling at Seth, saying that he wanted some secret from us by April. If he doesn't, he'll kill Seth. They want a secret from us... and even I don't know what it is. By the looks of it, Seth has 8 days to live, unless he gets the secret. If I ever do find out what it is, it'll be the hardest decision I will ever have to make... whether I tell Seth to help him out or not. Seth really isn't happy with me. I wonder what is going to happen now.

When they got home, they headed for Lucy's room. She told Marty all of it from sneaking to them to sneaking back. When she was finished, Marty had a very surprised and fearful look on his face.

"We have to stop him from both things, getting killed and getting a secret," Marty said.

"I know, that's what's so hard about it," Lucy commented. "We have to do two things at once, and I don't know how we will stop the man from murdering Seth after we refuse to give up the secret... whatever it may be."

"We need to find out what it may be first," Marty said. "Have you found out anything more on CAVES?

"No, I'm afraid not, but I have a few more theories I'm working on," Lucy answered.

"You really are persistent on that thing."

"Shut up"

The next few days went by slowly. They didn't visit the lab at all, and Lucy hadn't written anything in her diary since the 23rd. Lucy decided to visit the library on the 25th.

There she found rows upon rows of books. There were hundreds of shelves, each one lined with books on a certain subject. She found a section that had no name and it was covered with papers instead of books. She took down some of the papers, and found that they were research papers. She couldn't tell what they were until she found one thing. Her and Marty's names. This was a printed copy of a search on some new version of GOOGLE.

March 25, 2007, the library

I was in the library today looking for stuff on CAVES. I found some weird shelf with only papers instead of books. One of the papers was from a search on GOOGLE. In the search box was C.A.V.E.S. There was only one result on that printed paper.

Spy.com... Your #1 info website

Marty, Lucy, Angie, and Phillip. The family that owns CAVES. CAVES is a.....

It stops there. That is the secret. That's what he wants to know. He probably either needs to know how to find whatever CAVES is, or what it stands for. Personally, I want both of those too.

Yes, "Spy.com" sounds rather 'cheesy'. . . I literally sat there for 15 minutes just trying to think of something else. . .
