ON THE CHASE
"Lost Innocence"
It's now late at night; DJ and Ryan are playing pool in the game room of his mansion. DJ has just won her 3rd game in a row by knocking the blue 2 ball into the side pocket.
"You play one hot game you hot shot!" Ryan snuggles up to DJ.
"Ahh, I know!" DJ smiles.
"You're so lucky to have me!" Ryan says as he wraps his arms around DJ's waist.
DJ is starting to feel uncomfortable; her heart rate is increasing as Ryan keeps coming onto her.
"No! Get off of me!" DJ says as she breaks loose of his grasp. "You know I don't want this!"
"Well, I do, and I'll do whatever I have to keep you!" Ryan starts running after DJ.
"No! Stop chasing me!" DJ screams.
They both are running through his house, the 2nd floor, through Ryan's indoor movie theater, and by Ryan's indoor pool. DJ manages to stay 2 steps ahead of Ryan.
"Why are you chasing me? What's wrong with you?" DJ shouts.
Ryan just doesn't say anything; he keeps running after DJ with rage in his eyes. They are moving so fast and so violently. Pictures are being thrown off the walls and items are falling off of tables. DJ runs back into the basement as the front door is jammed. However, Ryan makes a desperate jump and knocks DJ onto the ground.
"Now, what are you going to do DJ?" Ryan says.
"Get off of me you bastard!" DJ screams.
They tumble over each other for the next few minutes. DJ struggling to get up and Ryan desperately trying to hold onto DJ. DJ breaks free of Ryan's hold and manages to make it back up to the top of the staircase until Ryan grabs onto her again. DJ is locked into his hold until she gets a sudden jump of energy, this causes her to jolt throwing Ryan down the stairs. DJ runs back down the stairs and takes a pulse and is confident that Ryan is still alive. So she then decides to take him and tie him up of one of the chairs in the dining room.
Steve, Kimmy and Stephanie have switched automobiles and are now searching for DJ in Steve's blue Ford Mustang.
"I'm starting to wonder why we are doing this?" Steve asks.
"Because, DJ is missing you twit!" Kimmy says honestly.
"I know that!" Steve looks at Kimmy blankly. "I'm just saying, we have no way to know where she is."
"I have this road map!" Kimmy smiles.
"You're such a pinhead." Stephanie scoffs.
"Hey! We have to know how to get wherever DJ is!" Kimmy answers.
"Oh, we're going to have to stop for gas soon." Steve says as he stares at his gauges.
"Uh…that could be a problem!" Kimmy says.
"Oh come on, what now?" Stephanie sighs.
"I left my wallet back in my van, so unless you two have the money to pay for it…" Kimmy says.
"Man! This is great!" Stephanie says sarcastically, "We're 2 hours outside of San Francisco with no money!"
"Oh…shut up blondie!" Kimmy says to Stephanie.
"How about you both shut up?" Steve starts to say, "I have a rich half brother that lives in this area. His name is Ryan and I'm sure he'll be happy to give me some money."
"Wait…Steve, you have a half brother?" Stephanie questions.
"It's a long story" Steve says, "His father and I don't get along and I have never liked the way Ryan uses his money to try to land women."
"That's a side I would like to see of you!" Kimmy laughs.
Steve just shakes his head as they approach Ryan's house.
