The following day, the snow started to recede a bit, and people were allowed to exit and enter the hotel. Nick, Tara, AJ and Karine needed some fresh air, and to get away from the hotel for awhile, so the guys decided to take their girls out for some winter activity.
Nick and Tara climbed into his limo and drove off to this snowmobile rental place, and rented one snowmobile.
"Can I drive??" Nick asked, grinning at Tara.
"But you've never really driven one before.." Tara said.
"Hey! Thers always a first time..and anyways, I bet its just like driving a seadoo!" Nick replied, then he grabbed the gear and put it on. Tara stood there, watching Nick climb into the snowmobile suit. After he was done, he got the other set of gear, and helped Tara into her suit.
Nick settled himself at the front of the snowmobile, and then helped Tara onto the back. Nick started up the snowmobile, and took off, with Tara sitting closely behind him, holding onto him tightly.
AJ took Karine to a big local pond in downtown Toronto, at this one park near the University. There, AJ and Karine rented two pairs of skates.
"I must warn you.. Im not that great of a skater.." AJ said to Karine, who was already on the ice waiting for AJ.
"Im sure your not that bad.." Karine smiled at AJ and held out her hand to him. AJ stood up in the skates, wobbling back and forth from not being used to wearing them. As AJ stepped up onto the ice, his feet slid infront of him and he fell down onto his butt. Karine let out a little laugh, and then helped AJ up.
"OH great.. thanks" was all AJ could mutter out. Karine led AJ slowly around the pond, skating very slowly, to try to teach AJ how to skate. AJ wasnt doing that bad, since most of the time he was holding onto Karine and never letting go.
"Why dont you try it by yourself, now!" Karine suggested. AJ looked at her blankly, as Karine let go of his hold. AJ started to move his feet, like Karine had instructed him to do, and was starting to skate a little bit.
"Hey.. this isnt that bad..." AJ said, starting to smile for being happy with himself.
After a few minutes of skating around himself, AJ wanted to sit down for a bit, because the skates were killing his feet.
AJ headed towards the nearest free bench to sit at. As AJ came closer to the bench, he tried to stop, however, he didnt know how to. AJ started to worry as the bench came closer and closer to him. AJ hit the bench head on, and then fell right over it, landing head first in the snowbank behind it.
Karine stopped at the bench, and pulled AJ out of the snowbank.
"are you ok, baby?" Karine asked, wiping the snow off of AJ's face and hat.
"Yup.." AJ said, trying to act macho.
Karine finished wiping snow off of AJ, and then took him over to the nearest hot chocolate stand, and had some hot chocolate together.
After their snowmobile ride, Nick and Tara walked around the lakefront park.
"Hey.. wanna make a snowman?" Nick asked, looking down at Tara.
"yeah!!" Tara exclaimed.
Nick and Tara proceeded to make a nice big snowman, and then stood infront of it, looking at him.
Nick slowly bent down and grabbed some snow, while Tara wasnt paying attention, and then threw a snowball at her. Tara turned around and looked at Nick, then threw a snowball at him. Tara ran to the nearest group of trees, trying to dodge Nicks snowballs, while trying to throw some back at him. Nick behind Tara, eventually catching up to her, making her fall frontwards into the snow with himself falling also. Nick turned Tara around, and then gave her a kiss.
"I love you, hunny" Nick said, wiping some snow off of her face.
"I love you too!" Tara said, and then leaned up to give him another kiss.
Back at the hotel, Brian and Kevin were having a long chat with Lou about their postponed schedule, and their family back at home. Brian's and Kevin's family were both very worried about the Boys.
AJ and Karine returned back to the hotel, and went straight up to their room to go get nice and warm, and change into some warmer, dryer clothes.
Nick and Tara returned shortly after, and went up to their room also to change, and stayed there the rest of the night.
Brian, Kevin and Lou decided to eat some supper together, since they were all in the restaurant. Brian ordered some chicken and fries, Kevin had some chili, while Lou had some kind of fish.
When the food arrived at the table, Kevin and Brian started to eat theirs, while Lou was reading the paper.
"Im going to have a talk with Alexander.." Lou said, referring to the cover page of the newspaper he bought earlier that day.
"I think theyr embarassed enought as it is, Lou" Kevin said in a monotone voice.
"Lou, man.. why dont u have something to eat?" Brian asked, looking at Lous untouched plate.
"I just wanted to finish reading, thats all" Lou said, and then he picked up his fork, and took a bit of the piece of fish.
About half a second later, Lou's face started to turn really red, and then he started to cough, grabbing his throat.
"Lou man.. I think hes choking!" Brian screamed out.
One of the nearest waiters came by and started to do the heimlech maneouvre, which wasnt working. About a minute and a half later, Lou was dead.
Lou's body was taken to the morgue to find out the cause of death, because it was apparent that Lou had not died from choking.
"What are we going to do now?!?" Nick asked, as Kevin, Brian, AJ and himself sat in Nick and Taras room, talking about Lous death.
"We're going to have to have some kinda leader guy.. for now, until we can get out of here" Brian said.
"I suggest Kev be our leader" AJ said "He's always telling us what to do anyways.. hes a good leader". The boys voted and it was unanimous that Kevin was going to be leader.
The next morning, Kevin recieved a call about Lous death.
"Hello?" Kevin said, answering his cell phone.
"Hello Mr Richardson, this is Mr Scultz. We ran tests on Louis Pearlmans body, and the results show that Pearlman died from poisoning. We're not talking food poisoning, we're talking about this specific kind of poison from a lab, that kills a person instantly" The man talked some more with Kevin, and then Kevin hung up the phone.
Lou hadn't died from choking. SOMEONE had poisoned his food intentionally to make Louis Pearlman die.
