ON THE CHASE

"Time Passes By"

Right now, Ryan is in his kitchen, finishing up with the dishes. DJ walks in, she's somewhat worried and still really confused.

"Ryan…may I please call my best friend Kimmy?" DJ asks, "I promise that I won't tell her where I am, I like being with you, I want to be with you, I won't do anything to ruin that now."

DJ collects her hand into Ryan's hand, Ryan then gently pulls DJ to him and they share a somewhat intimate but innocent hug

"Okay honey, you go do that, I'll be waiting right here." Ryan says as he let's go of DJ.

DJ strolls into Ryan's upstairs party hall and uses a telephone that looks like a Hershey bar.


Kimmy and Stephanie are just sitting around in the living room when the phone rings…when the phone rings, Stephanie jumps up first, but she trips over Kimmy's left foot, leaving Kimmy at the phone first.

"Darn Kimmy, you have huge feet." Stephanie says as she picks herself up off the floor.

"I know! They come in handy!" Kimmy smiles as she puts her left foot up onto the coffee table and picks up the phone.

"Hello?" Kimmy grins

"Oh my gosh, it's you Kimmy, you're the one I wanted to talk to." DJ says boldly. "Kimmy, you're the only one I wanted to talk to."

"That's right, you better start talking" Kimmy demands, "Or I'll beat your trail when I find you!…I mean, your tail…I can't believe I said 'trail', I can't believe that I would say trail…"

"Kimmy…Kimmy…listen to me, I'm okay…I'm okay…I'm with this guy!" DJ says.

"Whose this slut?… Is he cute or ugly?… Did he hurt you?… Is he going to hurt you?… Did he rape you?" Kimmy quickly questions.

"DJ…DJ…you still there?" Kimmy wonders, "Oh my god… your in love with this guy! Ew! I have got to tell Steve… STEVE!" Kimmy shouts out for Steve, but he didn't hear her call.

"KIMMY…NO…don't, I can't tell you where I am, okay?" DJ sighs, "But you can come find me if you want." DJ says.

"Oh, I'll find you alright…you can bet Jesse's hair gel on it, I will find you!" Kimmy says determinedly.

"Fine…okay…I've got to go, talk to you later!" DJ quickly hangs up the phone.

Kimmy hangs up her phone, and turns around to find Stephanie, standing there with her arms folded, ready for some info.

"That was DJ, wasn't it?" Stephanie asks.

"Yup it was-she says she couldn't give me any info-but she dared me to find her." Kimmy says to Stephanie.

"Like that's good news!" Stephanie throws her arms in the air and starts her trek upstairs.

Steve finally walks in from the kitchen.

"Did you call me? Was that DJ?" Steve wonders.

"Nope, just a long, wrong number type of call." Kimmy says.

"Oh okay, I'm going home, when you're ready to restart the search in the morning, give me a call." Steve says casually.

Kimmy can't help but frown at Steve as he packs up some of his things, and throws on his jacket. Kimmy is perplexed at the thought that DJ may be with another guy and not Steve, Kimmy has always thought that DJ and Steve would be together. She almost planned their wedding once. And now she knows that DJ is possibly in love with a guy that kidnapped her. Kimmy can barely hold back her tears as Steve heads out the door. Kimmy locks the door behind Steve, and she quickly flops out on the sofa and goes to sleep.
