A/N: We are planning to turn this story into a movie, so there will be some movie phrases like 'fade out' and 'cut to' Just get used to that, k?

1 Chapter Three

1.1 MEANWHILE, SOMEWHERE WEST OF ENID, OKLAHOMA

"See, here, it's him," a man said in a muffled voice from behind a thick black mask. He was pointing at a picture in a yearbook.

'Kirby, Eric' was written underneath the picture.

"That's the one we need to get."

"Right," a shorter masked figure agreed enthusiastically. "But what makes you think he'll come with us to find the cash?"

"This kid Eric Kirby is the only one who weeks surviving on that island. He knows how to stay alive and his way around. I'm willing to bet he knows where the money is, too. He has to come with us, and he will. I'll make sure of that."

The two shadowy figures cackled evilly and disappeared into the darkness.

1.1.1 FADE OUT

******************************************************************

FADE IN TO ERIC ON THE PHONE

"Kingsworth residence, Cordelia speaking," Cordelia answered the phone with a slight laugh.

"Hey, Lia. What's up?" Eric asked.

"Nothing. You wanna three-way Dana?" she asked.

"Sure. Hang on a sec."

A moment later someone picked up the phone.

"Pizza Hut," the person on the phone said. Cordelia and Eric laughed.

"Hey, Dana," they said in unison.

"Hey, you guys. It's Friday. Want to go to the movies or something?" Dana suggested.

"Okay, but defiantly not a dinosaur movie," Eric joked.

"Then let's go see E.T. 2," Cordelia said. (A/N: lol that's kind of an inside joke. Courtney and I wrote an ET2 and we felt like mentioning it.)

"Alright, I'll tell my parents and we'll meet around seven on Albyle Street. We can catch the 7:30 show," Eric said.

"K. See you there," Dana hung up.

"Bye," Eric said to Cordelia.

"Later."

1.1.2 BACK AT THE SHADOWY FIGURES' LAIR

"Okay, I just tapped into his phone conversation. He's going to the movies with his friends at seven," one of the men said.

"But, his friends will be with his," the shorter one pointed out.

"Then we'll just have to…bring them along for the ride."

The two masked men laughed their devilish laughs again. Then they both climbed into a black SUV and sped away, heading in the direction of Enid.

1.1.3 FADE OUT

******************************************************************

1.1.4 FADE IN TO ALBYLE STREET

"Hey, Eric, over here!" Dana called, waving him over to her and Cordelia.

"So, are we going the usual way?" Cordelia asked, meaning the old, abandoned barnyard. They knew if they went through there, they'd get to the movies 15 minutes faster than if they continued down the main road. They also knew the barnyard was a favorite hangout for drunken and high teenagers to party. They weren't supposed to go in there. They could get in serious trouble if they did. They knew that, too.

"Yeah, let's go. But if you guys do something stupid to get us caught again like last time, you're taking the blame," Dana joked.

They walked through the barnyard, looking over their shoulders every so often. Just as they were about to get back onto the road, two figures jumped out of the shadows.

Strong, gloved hands grabbed them and were over their mouths before they had the chance to scream.

BUM-BUM-BAH! lol. Suspenseful

******************************************************************

A/N: Yeah, finally something cool is happening. In the next chapter they are back on the island, and that's where the real story starts. So please stick around. There's a lot of cool stuff coming up, including some original JP characters returning in later chapters.
