Notes: I also remember something about the books that I added in this chapter. It's a small thing.

Acting

Adam opened his eyes when he felt his feet touch the ground. He was back in his room in Teen Heaven. He sank to the floor as realization sunk in.

Jesse and Cisco landed in the room. "You okay?" Jesse asked Adam.

"I think so." Adam was still shaking.

JD came into the room. "Whoa now that was bad."

"Thanks for getting me back up here JD." Adam said standing up shakily.

"No problem you can thank the big guy for that. But there is a problem that this all caused. Stan Walkins is dead. Murdered whatever you want to call it. So that means Adam is no longer on this mission. Don't worry Adam that will not reflect on you negatively. Wasn't your fault. But Jesse and Cisco you are still on this mission so be very careful. Those Deep Sixers are pulling out all the stops."

"We will." Jesse and Cisco disappeared.

Adam had finally stopped shaking. "I wish I could be down there."

"I know you do. You can watch and offer advice though. It's about all we can offer."

"Thanks JD." Adam said sitting on his bed observing Earth on the TV. His cat, Puck, sat in his lap. JD slipped out of the room quietly.

Jesse landed in the dorm room. He looked at the clock. It was 10:00 PM. He figured it was still the same day. There was a knock at the door. He opened it and found Cisco standing there. He let her in.

"This is going to be weird tomorrow." Cisco said.

"Don't I know it. Like JD said. We've got to be even more careful."

"We have to pretend we didn't know." Cisco reminded him. "Pretend that we never found him." She looked at her watch. "I better go back to my dorm. And Jesse?"

"Yeah?"

"I think you found something to connect to Charlie with."

Jesse walked into the dining room the next morning. It was quiet. Not the usual yelling that took place in the dining room. He was shocked when Russ came up to him.

"I'm sorry about Stan." He said.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh God you don't know?"

"Know what?"

"He was found at the bottom of the cliffs. They believe it was murder."

He sank into a seat. This acting thing wasn't too hard he thought. "Do they know who did it?"

"Nope."

Cisco came into the dining room. "Hey Cisco." He called. She walked over. "Stan was murdered."

"What? I wish we had found him!" Cisco said. She actually looked like she was going to cry.

Russ was looking at her strangely. "You didn't know him long.

"Oh I've known him since we were young."

"I'm sorry." Russ left them alone.

"I hate lying." Cisco said in a whisper as they walked out of the dining hall.

"Me too but we can't exactly say we are angels Cisco. Just think of it as acting."
