Ulrich knew Yumi had been keeping secrets from him. She would leave dates early, come home later, and lie almost every day to him. Ulrich wasn't sure what was going on, but he did know he was going to find out. He and Odd had climbed into the oak outside Yumi's second story window that showed the boys a glimpse of her room. Papers were all over the floor, some homework and some school stuff, and some papers with weird diagrams and symbols. The boys watched Yumi enter her room chatting on her cell phone.
"I'm going to bed, Mom!" Yumi called out as she shut her door. Ulrich watched his girlfriend head to the window and open it. She tied a rope to the inside of her room, then let the rest of it drape out the open window. The boys hid farther back in the tree as Yumi shimmied down the rope and ran out into the street.
"Where's she going?" Odd whispered.
"That's what we're here to find out." Ulrich replied dropping from the tree to follow Yumi. Silently the boys followed her into the upper side of town where Yumi met up with Lily and Theo.
"Ready?" They heard Theo say.
"Of course. Press the button." Yumi replied and Lily pressed the 'walk' button. The lamp post on the side of lit up and the teens stood under the light and disintegrated.
"What the...?" Odd asked as the Starts College Prep School teens disappeared.
"I don't know." Ulrich replied just as confused.
