Chapter 4: Mystery to Solve

Dustin and Shane continued to walk till they go to the other end of the park. Dustin was confused on what was going on, he looked around to see no one else in the park. His eyes shifted back over to Shane as he watched him dig through his pocket for the bag he stuffed in his pocket. "What are you doing?" Dustin asked curiously

"I found the perfect High." He exclaimed as he continusearching, "That's if I can find it."

Dustin raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"

Shane pulled out the bag and held it up, "Man, are you dense? This stuff!" He replied.

Dustin's eyes widen as he snatched the bag out of his hands, "What are you doing!?" He shouted as he looked at the white powder substance in the bag.

"What am I doing? What do you think? I paid big bucks for this." He said as he grabbed back the bag and turned away.

"Are you stupid!? Do you even know what that is!? It's going to kill you!" Dustin tried to reason with him.

Shane looked up at the sky and then turned back around, "Look, dude. I'm fine."

Dustin shook his head, "I'm not going to let you do this." He said sternly, "I don't understand, you of all people. Why? Heroine? Drugs? You? That just doesn't connect."

Shane took a step forward and placed his index finger in front of his face, "You tell anyone, I will hurt you." He whispered.

Dustin knocked his hand out of the way and turned to walk away, comepletly forgetting why he was even talking to Shane in the first place. He didn't have time to deal with his crap. Anyones crap. He couldn't understand what has happen to all his friends. Why everything seamed to be falling apart. He kept on walking, not bothering to look back. He then heard Shane's voice.

"Wasn't there something you wanted me to ask?" He called out.

Dustin stopped dead in his tracks and started to remember why he even came here. He closed his eyes and clenched his fist.

'He's better then no one.' He thought to himself, 'He is still my friend..' Dustin sighed and turned around to see Shane standing there, with his arms crossed. Dustin walked forward back to him and stared directly in his eyes.

"What can I do for ya?" Shane asked casually

Dustin sighed, glancing away before looking back at him, "Um, I wanted to ask you help about the ally way incident." He began to explain.

"I'm all ears." He responded.

Dustin glanced at Shane's hand's and noticed him still holding the bag.

Dustin pointed at it, "Put that crap away first."

Shane glanced at his hands and then stuffed it in his pocket before crossing his arms again, trying to hold back a chuckle. Dustin sighed and rolled his eyes.

"I need to find my wallet. And that guy that attacked me." Dustin started to tell him.

"How does some random thug kick your butt? That makes no sense." Shane stated.

"Shut up dude." Dustin snapped at him.

"I mean seriously, didn't Sensei teach you anything?" Shane ketp on going.

"Don't make me hurt you Shane." Dustin said sternly.

"Okay, Okay. I'm sorry. Your alive at least." He pointed out.

Dustin nodded, "I know. He's a skilled fighter. Wish I can figure out who he was. He knew my name."

Shane shrugged, "Well, we should find some leads. I mean, standing here isn't going to do anything."

"Yeah, I'm going to ask Hunter if he knows anything. I mean, he was at Storm Chargers with me last."

Shane rubbed the back of his neck and nodded, "Uh, yeah. I'll ask Cam to give me a hand."

"Don't bother. He wont help." Dustin said angrily.

"Well, I'm going to ask around. I got to go dude." Shane said quickly.

Dustin gave a puzzled look, "Why don't you just come with me?"

Shane shook his head and began to walk away, "I got to do something. I promise I'll find something out."

Dustin bit his lips and thought for a sec. He had an idea what that 'something' he was going to do. He rolled his eyes and turned to walk the other way.

Hunter sat on his crimson towel as he watched out in the water. Tori was gliding through the waves like a bird in the air on her surfboard. She was on a rather large wave and was speeding fast towards the shore. He sighed as he looked over to see Blake cheering near the water. Blake was clapping his hands and shouting as he watched the beauty blonde of the beach. The wave crashed and Tori fell of the board and into the water. Hunter stood up to see if she was okay. The blonde's head popped out of the water and she swam to her surfboard. Hunter walked towards the shore as she made her ways to greet the two Thunder Brothers.

"Nice surfing Tor." Blake exclaimed as he hugged her.

She smiled and brushed her hair back, "Thank you. Did you like it Hunter?" Tori asked as she turned to him

He nodded, "Yeah, your pretty good."

"Come on, your next." She exclaimed.

"I-I don't know how to surf." Hunter mumbled.

Tori sighed, "Neither does your brother, but I'm teaching him. I can give you a free lesson." She grinned as she pulled his hands and yanked him towards the water.

"Good luck!" Blake chuckled as he watched Tori and Hunter walk into the water. He stood their and crossed his arms and watched.

"Okay, you need to first learn how to balance on the board." Tori explained to him as she waved him to get on.

Hunter nodded and placed his feet on the board. He then prepared himself and jumped up with his other foot. He didn't' realize how slippery the board was and slipped right off, and went crashing into the water head first. Tori bursted out laughing as she went over to help him up.

"Damn!" Hunter exclaimed as he wiped the water from his eyes, "I can do this!" he stammered.

He went over and grabbed the board. He made another attempt and another fall.

"You might need practice." Tori giggled.

"Thanks for pointing it out." Hunter said sarcastically, "For that, your not getting your board back." He grinned.

"Hey!" Tori exclaimed.

Hunter grabbed the board and bolted through the shallow water with Tori chasing behind. Blake watched, with bit of a surprise and annoyed face. His brother and girlfriend was laughing and screaming at each other as he watched. Blake then noticed Dustin walking down the beach and towards him. Dustin stood beside him and watched in shock at Tori and Hunter."What are they doing?" Dustin asked.

"He stole her board." Blake responded.

"Oh.." Was all Dustin could say.

Blake rolled his eyes, "Tell me about it."

Hunter ran up to the beach with Tori falling close behind. Hunter turned and Tori tackled him to the ground, the board went flying.

"Got you." She grinned as she pinned him down.

"All right you two." Blake yelled as he took a step forward.

Tori looked up and then back at Hunter. She quickly got back up and helped him up.

"Thanks." Hunter said as he turned to them, "Hey Dustin."

"Dustin." Tori smiled

Dustin waved to them, "Hey guys, I wanted to ask you something."

Tori looked at the cut on his cheek, "What happen to you?"

"Oh yeah, I didn't notice that." Blake said as he finally noticed, "You okay? You looked like you got the crap beaten out of you."

Dustin nodded, "I'm fine, but that's what I wanted to ask about. Some guy came and kicked the crap out of me. He took my wallet and everything."

Tori gave a puzzled look, "Your wallet...this morning..? Missing? But, I thought.." She began to say.

"Yeah, that's pretty strange." Hunter interuptted, "Any clues yet?"

Tori remained silent, trying to figure it all out. She didn't understand. If Dustin lost his wallet last night, did Hunter lie?

"No, but I'm going to figure out who this guy is."

Hunter glanced around and nodded, "Yeah, me too." He said.
