RECAP:
She sat down on the ground and thought. She had his coat in her hands, she put it on. It hung around her shoulders. She compared him to all the other boys she had met. He was definitely very, very smart. He was also very fast and was great at martial arts too. Sam put her arms around her legs and brought them to her chest. He was also quite handsome. Sam turned red. He wasn't nearly as bad as she had always thought of him. She remembered that before, being stuck on an island with Tim Scam was her biggest nightmare, but now it just didn't matter. She had thoroughly enjoyed learning from him. She found that he seemed to match her learning style and she picked up whatever he was telling her right way. She didn't know if she should feel guilty for feeling this way about her enemy. Sam turned and faced the forest her eyes searching the area. She waited for him to return. What she didn't realise was that ever so slowly she was falling for him.

1:20 pm- Beverly Hills High School, Gymnasium
Clover passed Alex the basketball and Alex scored the final point, resulting in the team win. "All right!" The other members of the team cheered. The gym teacher blew his whistle. "All right everyone, time to hit the showers." All the students walked out of the gymnasium Alex and Clover following. Both their thoughts were still on their dear friend. Almost a week, no updates from WHOOP whatsoever. Clover was so lost in her thoughts that she walked right into her rival, Mandy. "Geez!" Mandy screeched. "Watch were you're going, loser!" Clover did not do so much as to look at her. Usually she would have shot back a fiery comeback, but today it just didn't matter. Clover spoke. "Whatever Mandy." She quickened her pace and walked away, Mandy stood there puzzling for a short while, then victoriously marched away. Alex raced to catch up with Clover, "Hey Clover wai-" She felt the ground from beneath her feet give way and down she fell, Clover right behind her. "Aaaaaaaaa" Alex screamed as she came tumbling down the tunnel and landed on her back on the couch. "Owww." Alex winced. "Hi, Jerry." Jerry looked up at Alex. "Hello girls, it's nice to see you after so long."
1:22 pm- WHOOP headquarters, Jerry's office
Clover and Alex both examined Jerry's appearance. His tie was undone, he wasn't wearing his blazer, and even his complexion was paler than usual. He had been this way since Sam's disappearance, being worried sick if she was okay much like her two friends. The only thing different about him today was the happy glow on his face. Clover broke the silence. "Okay, Jer what's up." Jerry smiled. "I have good news, and not so good news." He paused. "Which would you like to hear first?" Clover tapped her foot impatiently. "Let's see since Sam vanished, we haven't heard any good news, so let's hear the good news, k? Jerry smiled. "Very well." He stood up from his chair. "The good news is that we've almost locked in on Sam's location." Clover and Alex gasped. "Really? Oh my God! Is she okay, where is she!" Both girls bombarded him with questions. Jerry put his hand out telling them to quiet down. "Calm down girls." I sat down. "I said we have almost found her location. This means that we know that she is around and alive, yes. Besides that we are unsure about her condition." The girls smiles' faded. Alex perked up. "Well, at least the worst part is over, we almost found her!"
Jerry sighed snapping both girl's attention back to him. Clover asked. "What is it Jerry?" Jerry spoke. "The bad news?" Clover sighed, "Yes, what is it?" Jerry clasped his hands together and leaned in. "The area at which we have tracked her, are the two islands closest to were Tim Scam is." Clover and Alex gasped. Any feeling or positive thoughts of their friends' well being vanished form their minds. Clover burst out. "What?! And you're telling us that just finding her is good news?!" Alex continued. "We want to know 100 if she's okay, if she's with him, there is no telling!" Jerry waved his hand to silence them again. "I can understand you're concern, but it is possible that she is safe with him, maybe they're cooperating." Clover burst out laughing. "Yeah right Jerry, our Sam and Tim Scam cooperating, that's a real good one." Jerry frowned. "I'm serious Clover, he could be helping her." Clover snorted. Alex spoke. "Whatever Jerry, we'll just hope she isn't with him, k?" Jerry sighed in defeat. He spoke. "I was able to pick up very faint signals from her X powder, even though it is damaged." He paced around the room. "What Sam doesn't know, is that she somehow triggered the emergency tracker on the gadget, even though I never taught any of you how to." He smiled. "She really is a genius."
Alex spoke. "We know Jerry." Jerry smiled. "Well then I will let you know when the rescue mission begins, as of now you two are to head back to class. I do not want you to miss any classes more than you have to." Jerry turned to retrieve a paper from his machine. "Here girls." He handed them a note for their absence. Clover took the note. "From the school nurse?" Clover smirked. "Oh Jerry you get better with these every time." Jerry smirked. "Right then. Off with both of you." Jerry turned and pushed a small button on his armchair. The next thing that happened was Clover and Alex being pulled by a vacuum-like force back up the tunnel. Jerry turned back to his computer. Alex and Clover walked to their next class. When the got there Clover handed the French teacher the note, who nodded and told them to take a seat. As they made their way to the desk Clover slowed down as she went past Mandy. Alex sat down and listened. Clover leaned in to Mandy a bit. "About earlier today, just so you know, you're the queen of losers around here." Mandy's face curled up. She was about to say something but just then the teacher directed their attention to the board and Clover coolly walked to her seat next to Alex. Alex smiled, the news of Sam's well-being had done its trick. The old Clover had returned.
9:30 pm- Unknown island near Africa, East side, Camping spot
Sam and Tim had finished the daily activities of food gathering and log collecting, and were now sitting and talking to each other. Sam found it much easier to communicate with him now than before, maybe because she knew now. He still occasionally laughed at her, but she didn't mind. Sam asked him a question she had wanted to ask him for a long time. "Scam, I mean Tim." He faced her. "Yes." Sam continued. "Tell me about you're life, a bit." Sam waited. In her mind she was hoping to discover why he had turned against WHOOP. He smiled. "About me." He looked at the ground. "Well, I grew up with practically no guidance from anybody." Sam shot him a questioning glance. He spoke in a whisper. "My parents died when I was pretty young, and I had no siblings." Sam gasped. "I'm so sorry, didn't know." He turned to her and gave her a brief smile. "Don't be, it's alright." He continued. "So I guided myself throughout my education, my uncle provided financial support." Sam looked up at him. "You have an uncle?" He looked at her and spoke. "Yes I had an uncle. He provided me with most of the money I needed to study, but he was never around to guide me." Sam listened silently. He continued. "I rarely met him, then after a year I finished my studies my uncle passed away." Sam gasped again, but before she could apologise he cut her off. "I was never close to my uncle. He wasn't happy with my father, in result he wasn't happy with me."
He continued. "After that, I remember an accident happening near by. I also remember helping some people who were trapped get out and to safety. That's how I met Jerry." Sam smiled. He smiled too. "He said, thanks for helping I have a job were we need brave young men like you." He turned to Sam again. Sam spoke. "That's how you became a WHOOP agent? He shrugged "Uh huh, I was trained for some time with martial arts and weapons. I soon became a well round WHOOP agent and a weapons expert." He stretched. "But my true speciality was with deciphering codes. Sam sighed, as she thought. "No wonder we can't ever keep him locked up, he knows how to change the codes on the doors." Sam smiled. "Then what happened?" He continued. "I spent a few years working for Jerry until.." Sam inwardly begged him to continue. He smiled. "Then the rest as they say, you know is history." Sam groaned, what would it take for him to tell her why he had turned against WHOOP. He smirked. "Sorry but that's all you're getting out of me today." He leaned back and rested his head on his hands. He spoke. "Now, tell me about you're life." Sam snapped out of her thoughts. "Huh?, yeah..okay." Sam thought. Compared to him her life was pretty good. "Um I lived with both my parents up until high school. Then I moved out with Clover and Alex." He spoke. "When did you become a WHOOP agent?"
Sam thought. "Well I don't exactly remember, it's been quite some time now, a few years maybe." He smiled. "Then we just missed each other." Sam looked at him confused. "What?" He smiled. "I only stopped working for WHOOP a couple of years ago, we may have gotten to work together." Sam sighed. "Yeah, maybe." The uncomfortable silence returned. He turned to look at her. He had his head propped up on his elbow. He spoke. "I'm going to turn in for the night." This time, he didn't bother to get up and go back to side of the fire pit. Instead he laid down right there and closed his eyes, leaving Sam to her thoughts. Sam sat staring at the fire. Today's conversation had left her with so much more confusion than before. She wrapped her arms around herself. Sam reflected about his life, and how difficult it must have been to grow up without parents. She sighed. Sam had always been surrounded by her friends and family. It was too difficult to imagine. This left her feeling sorry, and a good degree of proud towards him. She was sorry for him to have to go through so much in his life. She was proud, (though she didn't know why she should feel any pride for him) of the fact that he had made it this far. Yes, he had taken a wrong turn, because something had happened to him. She though back to their first conversation.
"Do you know why every villain wants that?"..."Because maybe the world dominated him, first." Sam puzzled over the hidden meaning of his words. What could have happened that turned him against WHOOP. From their conversation he had seemed happy to work for Jerry, and Jerry had regarded him as a brave young man. Sam sighed, "I definitely must find out." she thought. Sam also remembered how he had said that they could have worked together. Sam smiled. She liked that idea. Seeing as to how easily she had began to get along with him, it would have been cool to be on a mission with him, working side by side. Sam blushed, since when have I wanted to be with him? she thought. She smiled she wanted to tell him and herself that maybe there was a way to make things work again. Maybe she would be able to work with him instead of fight him. Sam turned to ask him a question. "Hey Tim, would you like to work for WHOOP again?" She waited for his answer or some indication, then noticed that he was already asleep. Sam sighed. Guess my question will have to wait. she thought. She gently slid down to a laying position. She smiled and without realizing it she rested her head on his chest, and wrapped her arms around him, then silently drifted to sleep, thoughts about him, and her unanswered question floating in her mind.
