"She's here," Foss said into his cell phone.
"Can you see her?" Kyle asked desperately.
"No, but I know she's here. I can see Taylor and she can't be far."
"Where are you? Can we come help?" Kyle offered. He listened for a response but only heard the dial tone. He tried to call Josh but there was no answer.
After Brian Taylor spotted Josh and Tom sneaking around the grounds, the two broke out into a full out sprint. "Consider this your warning!" Foss shouted.
"Oh man," Josh said, once they safely entered the van. "This is gonna be tougher than I thought."
Foss nodded. "And our only window of opportunity is tonight. By tomorrow he'll have made sure the buildings swarming with guards."
"So what are we going to do?"
"We're not going to do anything. He's already seen us. He'll be ready for us. He won't be ready for –"
"Kyle!" Josh exclaimed.
"Exactly," Foss replied, "and Jessi."
"Are you sure about that?" Josh asked skeptically.
"Brian trained her and taught her all he knows. Beating her would be like beating himself."
"Which he has no practice doing, unlike, says, beating Kyle."
"Now you're catching on," Foss declared.
Kyle and Jessi came back home later in the afternoon to find Josh and Tom in the living room mapping out their plans. "It's got to be tonight," Josh informed Kyle. "You ready?"
"For Amanda? Yeah."
"Good, considering there's not really another option." Kyle chuckled.
"Alright, now let's get to work," Foss insisted.
"How do you feel about Tarzan?" Josh asked. Kyle looked confused.
"What he means is your going to have to travel through the forest to get there, but the distance is too long to walk. We're going to strategically place ropes throughout the path and you guys are going to have to swing to each, eventually landing on the roof."
Kyle looked overwhelmed. Josh broke the silence. "Should we call you Jane?" He asked Jessi. She shot him a dirty look as a reply.
"Kyle, we can do this," Jessi reassured him confidently. "We will do this, okay?" She gently placed her hand on Kyle's back to comfort him and a montage of images Amanda and Kyle flashed through their heads. She saw when they met, their first kiss, and finally them defying gravity, dancing together at the prom. She took her hand off of his back and jerked further away from him. Shots of jealousy permeated through her bones and her head suddenly filled with thoughts of sabotaging this mission and keeping Kyle to herself. It was this last part, that worried her the most. "I… I gotta go." She got up and ran.
"Jessi!" he called, but it was too late. He ran out the door after her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," she screamed back, tears streaming from her face. "Go save Amanda."
"I can't do it without you!"
"You have to!" She demanded and continued to run away.
