Nick and I were in his jeep on the way to the park, where they said they were. Nick stopped at a red light. "There they are!" He said, pointing out his window. As the light turned green, Nick pulled into the parking lot. He pulled the key out and opened his door. "C'mon," He said.
"Wait!" I said, grabbing his arm. "What if he is Kevin and not AJ?"
"Then we'll look like fools, but that doesn't matter because it is AJ! C'mon!" He dragged me over to the basketball courts. Brian and Christine had gone to get a drink, when we walked up to Kevin. Nick held the note in Kevin's face. "We got your note," He said.
"So I see," Kevin replied.
"We know you're not Kevin and that you're AJ." Nick continued.
"Yes well, it didn't really take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Obviously, because… you did, Nick." Kevin said. "Lemme show you something." He said, pulling us both over to a building.

When I opened my eyes, Nick and I were both tied to metal bars sticking out of the floor. Nick was saying something to Kevin. "You see," Nick started. "If I were like you, which I'm not, I would have a variety of ideas instead of tying us to stuff all the time!"
"Oh god," I said, rolling my eyes. I pulled at the rope and it fell off my wrist.
"And," Nick added. "You need to learn how to tie knots." Kevin left.
"Where's he going?" I asked.
"I don't know, why?" Nick replied.
"He forgot to tie me back up." I walked over to Nick and untied his wrists.
"Do you smell something?" He asked.
"No,"
"That's weird, I smell smoke." He shrugged.
I went over to the door, "It's locked." I said, disappointed.
"Sarah," Nick whistled to me. I turned around. "This way." He said holding a backdoor open. We walked out of the building and looked around. "Hey! Where's my car?!" Nick yelled, searching his pockets for his keys.
"AJ must have it." I replied. Nick looked at me with no expression on his face. "Don't look at me like that!" I said. "I'll go help AJ if you do anything like that to me again, seriously!" I added.
Nick turned away, rolling his eyes.
"I saw that!" I yelled. "That's it!" I turned and walked away from Nick.
"Hey!" He said. "Where are you going?" He just stood there waiting for me to answer.
"Where do you think I'm going?! I'm going to help AJ!" I ran off.
Nick saw Brian and Christine, so he went over to them. "Hey you guys," Nick said.
Brian looked at him. "Where's Sarah?" He asked.
They all sat down on a bench and Nick told them what happened. "…And that's when she went to help AJ." He finished.
"So," Christine said. "Let me get this straight. You rolled your eyes at her, she got pissed, and she's now helping AJ?" She looked confused.
"Pretty much." Nick said.
