Chapter Twenty-Five

I sat there, clutching the necklace, trying to understand. Mum, Nan and I had been the last passengers off the plane and through security. Our cases were the only three left by the time we got to the carousel. I’d noticed the label was missing on mine when we got out of the taxi but I’d just assumed it got torn off during the journey.

So did that mean Lizzie had taken my case home instead of hers? I knew she’d pulled my case off the carousel when we arrived in Spain, but surely she wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. I checked my phone, but there were no messages. I tried to call her number again, but it was still making that same strange noise. How was I supposed to let her know that I had her case? How were we supposed to sort it out if I couldn’t even get hold of her?

It was weird having Lizzie’s stuff in my room; almost as if she was with me, but not really. It only made me miss her even more. I still didn’t know if she was okay. I couldn’t forget the way her dad had dragged her off to the lift when we were saying goodbye – that desperate look she’d given me – and now this. I slipped the necklace back into the case and pulled the lid down. I could tell Nan later, there was no rush. The first thing I needed to do was talk to Bailey.

“Hang on a minute, Bee, start again. This sounds more like an episode of Sherlock than a holiday to Spain!”

“Look, I’m not joking, Bailey. I really need your help.” I’d told him everything, right from the moment the first pink envelope arrived.

He got up off his bed and grabbed a notebook and pen from his desk. I stared at him as he crossed the room. I could have sworn he’d grown taller since I’d last seen him. I blushed suddenly, remembering the way Lizzie had teased me about fancying him. It was crazy. How could I fancy Bailey? We were almost like family!

“So let me get this straight,” he said, holding up the pen and notepad like a detective. “Your mum and dad had been fighting over a letter and then your dad saw the tickets to Spain in the kitchen and disappeared, although he’s actually at your Uncle Ron’s. And then you met a girl in Spain called Lizzie with an identical suitcase to yours and the day after you met her you noticed your mum had another letter in her bag, in exactly the same sort of envelope as the first one. Then on the last day of the holiday Lizzie told you that her brother died and that she was really scared of her dad. And on the same day, your mum bumped into a woman in the market from her past and totally freaked out and your nan has just told you that the woman was Lizzie’s mum.
