Ill Affects
"Hey you guys seen Banksie today?" Charlie asked the other ducks at lunch.
"Not since practice this morning. Why?" Russ said.
"He hasn't been in classes."
"Maybe he's skipping?" Connie suggested. They all looked at her. "Just a suggestion."
Goldberg and Averman came over holding a piece of paper. Both had frightened expressions on their faces. "You give it to them." Goldberg said to Averman.
"Why me?" Averman asked.
"It was on your bed."
"Would someone just give it to us." Portman said growing impatient.
Averman gave it to Charlie who passed it around. It was a picture of Adam handcuffed in what looked like a closet. "We've got to find him."
"There's something written on the back." Goldberg said. "We are supposed to go to that empty lot a few blocks from here, right after school is over."
"But we've got a game." Julie said.
"Finding Banks is more important then a game." Charlie said. The others agreed. "Let's all meet in front of the fountain after classes."

Adam woke up again. His stomach was queasy from whatever was in that water. He threw up. He tried to see what time it was on his watch but that was impossible because it was dark in there. He heard someone in the room.
"Help!" He yelled.
The door unlocked and Reily was there with a cloth in his hand and put it in his mouth. "You have to be quiet Banksie or I'll give you more of that water." He shut the door and locked it again.
Adam mentally kicked himself. He should have known there would be a Varsity member there. He still felt sick but knew it would be a bad thing to throw up with a gag in his mouth. Then he remembered something. He took the gag out of his mouth and threw up again.
He heard a bell ring in the hall so he knew he was at least still in Eden Hall. Where in Eden Hall he wasn't sure. He was probably in Riley and Cole's closet.
An eternity later, which in actuality was an hour and a half, the closet door was opened. "We gotta go somewhere so it's time for you to get some more sleep." Scooter said.
He looked at Scooter angrily. Scooter was supposed to be the nice member of Varsity. Scooter turned away and let Cole and Keith Hawkinson move closer. He was again forced to drink the water. The door shut and locked again.
