Late that night Alan started wandering the halls with insomnia. He walked around the kitchen, the mess room, even the locker rooms trying to tire himself out. Soon he found himself at the base of the stairwell which led to the girls' dorms. He began to get curious and slowly started ascending the forbidden passage.

When he reached the top he almost felt disappointed; it looked exactly like the boys' dorms. He brushed off the feeling thinking to himself that it was dumb to believe it'd be anything special.

His curiosity returned instantly as he heard a soft moan come from one of the bedrooms. 'Sunshine finally gettin some action?' he thought as he ventured closer to where the sound had come from.

As he peered into the only room with a closed door (Sunshine had opened the rest earlier in his frantic search for Laini), and rather to his dismay, he saw Laini; alone and asleep. He let out a long exhale and caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a note under a pile of clothes.

Becky,
I am so sorry I couldn't say goodbye. You don't have to worry, I will make everything better and you will be safe. Wait for me; I'll come back for you soon, I promise. Remember; don't trust anyone until I have you in my arms again. I love you so much Becky and I can't stand being apart from you, but you know that this is the only way. I am worried about but I know you'll be safe, my clever little angel. I miss you and am constantly thinking about you. Wait for me and I'll be with you again soon

Forever yours truly,
Richard

Alan put the letter back and hurried out of the room. 'Poor Sunshine," he thought as he made his way slowly back to his room.

For the rest of the night he laid in bed thinking about the letter. The more he thought about it, the more he began to despise 'Laini'. 'Why did she lie to us? And what is she hiding from?' These were his last thoughts as he slowly fell asleep.
