Ia's POV

Len rushed to his tent, pushing everyone out of his way. I followed after him.

When I caught up to him he was rubbishing through his room. He opened some kind of secret cabinet behind his bed and pulled out a leather covered book.
"Oh Dear Lord..." He spouted.

"What's that book?" I questioned concerned,

"I-I'll tell you later but the police mustn't find this. Please help me."

"O-key." I accepted.

"Thank you!" He grabbed my hand and dragged me out.
We directed ourselves back to the entrance where Gumi was waiting for us.
"Gumi, what's with the police visiting?"
"They think we have something to do with the kidnappings.
I bit my lip and held Len's hand closer.
"Right now the police are checking our tents, they're with Luka now." She informed.

"W-wait, next to Luka's tent is mine!" I panicked.

"Oh, yeah. You should probably go there..." Gumi calmly suggested.
I rushed to Luka's tent where the police men were finishing up.
Luka stepped out of her tent and stood next to me.

"You should he careful with those guys,Ia. They kind of...don't respect others privacy." I smiled

"Thanks for the head up, Luka!" At that moment the police went out of the tent, one of pulled out a notebook and a pen out of his pocket.

"Luka, right? You are off the suspect list."
She let out a small sigh in relief.

"Who's tent is the next one?"

"Um... Uh, me, sir." I pointed myself.

"Ok, we shall be checking your tent now."
I led him and one more officer in my tent. They began searching my bed and a night stand in front of it.
The way the tall man wrote on his notebook was nerve racking.

As they both looked for some kind of evidence in my room I started to drift into my thoughts.
'What's so important about Len's journal? Is he the one up to the crimes..? Or he might be involved somehow... Or is he spying on us? But why would he do that? Jeez, is there any one I can trust?'

"Miss Ia?! MISS IAAA??!!" The officer snapped me back into my senses, pinching my arm.
"Oh, uh, Yeah?"

"We haven't found anything that justifies your being involved." And with that they left my tent, leaving it a mess.

"Ugh... For cops they really aren't that polite.
My bras and underwear where littered through the floor...I think they actually took a pair.

"The hell is wrong with them?" I sighed picking up my bras and underwear.

Luka walked in twirling a strand of her pink hair around her finger.

"How did it go?"

"It was okay, I mean...they kind of messed up my room. What happened with you?"
She let out a small sigh.

"They just made quite inappropriate comments." My room became silent for a few seconds.

"Heh. Um... Luka... Do you think someone in the circus is behind the kidnappings?" she clenched her fists.

"I-I don't know... I hope not. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I knew one of my best friends were a murdurer." She shrugged.

"Oh and what were you talking about with the police before in the entrance gate?" I asked.

"Well... Usually when the police visits your notified like 12 hours before but they didn't, still the police officer was going on and on how he sent a letter to us." Luka explained.

"And the letter didn't come... Do you think they were being honest?"

"I...really don't know anymore..." The pink haired woman's faint voice whispered

"What was that?"

"Oh, uh, nothing, just thinking out loud."
I let out a small giggle in response "What's so funny?"

"N-nothing I just think it's funny when you get all serious..." I said

She giggled as well "I guess I do!" She replied with a smile in her face. "But Ia, there's something I need to tell you, and it's kind of important, to me at least."

"What is it?"

"Ah, I-"

"ARIAAAA!!!" I herd Len's voice shout behind me.

"You better go, your boyfriend is calling for you" she smirked

"He isn't my boyfriend, Luka!" I pouted in response.

"Ok, ok but you better go."

"K, see you later I guess."

Luka's POV

"K, see you later, I guess!" She marched away leaving me alone in my thoughts.

'Heh, she' s adorable' I thought to myself. It did make me happy to see her cheerful like that.

Ia/ Aria's POV

I rushed to Len, almost tripping but arrived at his side unharmed.

"How did it go?" He asked flickering his blue eyes.

"Pretty well, I mean it could have gone worse." I answered

"Alright. Hey! There's a lake close by, right?"

"Y-yeah, we always set the circus close by some kind of body of water." I explained

"Do you want to go?"

"O-okay." I hid my face.

So we walked to the near by lake. We started to talk about each other. It felt nice talking to him.

I glanced at his face, hiding mine with my bangs. He was sweaty and bared a somewhat nervous expression. When I turned my head I could already see the lake.

"There it is!" I yelled.

We sat at the edge of the small wooden dock, my feet touching the surface of the water.

"Len, is there a reason you felt like coming here?"

"Actually... Yes." He unbuttoned his jacket and pulled out a leathered book.
'His journal'

"I- Aria what I'm about to show you might be one of my biggest secrets now, can you promise me not to freak out or kill me or anything of a sorts."

"...I promise" his eyes narrowed and he handed me the journal.

"Flip to the last two pages with writing."
I didn't take long finding them. Before reading it I took a deep breath.

June 15th

I closed the journal. 'He's been spying us?'.
I shifted my eyes to him, Len trying not meet my gaze.
"Len..."

"L-look I was asked to inspect this place due to the sudden kidnappings-"

"Len" I cut him off "I-I wan-t t-to help you." I blushed

"Why?!" Aren't you mad?"

"Not mad, I'm just a little disappointed but I guess I would have done the same thing if I were you... Besides I don't want there to be anymore victims then there are supposed to."

"Thanks and I'm glad you didn't get mad!"

"Well... I don't often get mad" I smiled.
He remained silent, his worried expression turned into a peaceful one.

"Hey Len, you can call me Ia.

I bring you... The fourth( I think) chapter I'm losing track already>~<
Well I hope you enjoyed this one. I'm really eager to write the next chapter. Ya know why? Cause I'm not telling.
