"Now the story of jack Brewer and Kim crawford.''

the tv anounced. kim tensed up.

"its ok, its just rudy." i said. she nodded.

"Hey guys whatcha watching?" the other guys came in.

or not...

"Last week we left you in suspense wanting to know who was saved by what hero. Detective hopkins found enough evidence and clues to find the identity.

Kim Crawford, a 15 year old girl from seaford florida was the attempted rape victum-"

everyone gasped and kim hid her face in my chest.

"meanwhile jack Brewer, also 15 from seaford florida, came to the damsels rescue. no one knows where either of these teens are. at Jacks house, no one was home. and at kims house, her mother answered the door. heres the video."

"kim?" i asked her.

"i thought you said your mom wasn't home."

"im sorry." she answered and tried to move away from me. i just pulled her back.

"i'm not mad." i told her. she gave a small smile.

then the tv showed a video of kims mom:

"kim? um... kim right. you mean my daughter? oh she is... uh... missing?" she said guiltily.

"Did you think of calling authorities? we could arrest you just for not calling!" a police man said.

"No! not missing like didn't come home. missing like, i know who shes with and that shes safe, she just uh...i dont know where exactly they are now."

it changed back to the reporter:

"there you have it folks! if you have any information on the where abouts of there two minors, please be sure to call this number on the screen. i'm joselin travis and have a good night."

they showed a picture of kim and me that i'm guessing Mrs. crawford gave to them.

the room was silent until milton spoke up.

'kim, we are sorry we messed with you." he said sheepishly.

"jack, did you call pretending to be kims dad?" rudy asked. i nodded.

"What about the wasabi code!" he reprimanded. "you should have told me, or told some one about Kim!"

i shifted uncomfortably as kim hid behind me.

"Rudy, i-"

"Jack, we are canceling this trip. kim needs to be home."

"i dont wanna go home." kim whispered to me.

"Rudy, i didn't know that kims mom was home. i thought she was in alaska visiting her.. grandmother." then i realized, kims grandmother died last year. how could i forget kim knocking at my door at two am.

"Aww! man! really!" i said more to myself.

"everyone go pack your stuff,i'm booking us a flight tomorrow night."

"Rudy wait." i said. he looked at me.

"Dont make us all go, just me and kim. we broke the wasabi code, we dont deserve this trip." i said and turned around to hug kim.

"Jack, i care for kim. like she was my own daughter. She needs to see a phycologist."

"why?" i asked.

"she could be traumatized. she was raped!"

"no she wasn't. and i wouldn't let that happen!" i yelled a little louder then nessisary.

"Jack, calm down, shes weak and-"

"kim is the farthest thing from weak! shes stronger then all of us."

"Jack, calm down." jerry tried.

"No, i wont! this isn't fair! Kim is perfectly fine! and she-"

"go pack." rudy interrupted. warning in his voice.

kim and i went to our room.

i sat down on the bed. she sat next to me.

"I'm sorry i got our trip canceled. i just-" i couldn't even finish my sentence because kim kissed me. at first i was surprised, but then i kissed back. when we broke apart, her eyes widened and she ran and locked herself inside the bathroom.

What just happened.

KIM POV

i cant believe i just did that. why did i kiss jack, yeah i figured out i loved him but... i dont know.

What just happened?

"kim?" jack ask banging on the door. i didn't answer.

"kim? if you don't answer, i know how to pick a lock." - of course he does, because jack knows everything!

i covered my face with my hair and slowly unlocked the door.

"i'm sorry jack, i meant to kiss your cheek but i missed." i lied. i think i saw disappointment flash across his face. but it couldn't be. could it?

"its ok kim. just if it ever happens again, dont runaway." he said. then he extended his hand.

"lets pack." he said as i took it.

and that what we did. we packed.

JACK POV

kim and i were packing our cloths. i silently promised myself to one day bring kim back here at a happier phone rang.

"really?" kim asked as my phone rang a spanish song.

"mom mom picked it out for her." i explained.

i answered it.

"hey mom!" i said not looking forward to this conversation.

"JACK! Why didn't you tell me!" she yelled. i pulled my head from the receiver.

"I um.."

"What else are you not telling me."

"um... i beat up robbers who broke into our house one night." i offered.

"JACK!" she yelled.

"Mom, please, i'm packing to come home early please yell at me then."

"Bye." she said angrily.

"they cant be that bad." she said.
