I am going to work on tying up all the loose ends I have so it will all
make sense. Please review and tell me what you think.
That night group was very emotional; everyone went over how they felt. The answer was pretty much the same "bad." Kristen couldn't take this group any longer, she couldn't take the memories that everyone had about Cole, and it was just too hard. She got up and ran out. Peter guessed that everyone wasn't in the mood for group tonight, so he let it out early.
"I want everyone to write in their journals about why they are feeling the way they are. I know you might not want to but I think it will help." He told them as they were all leaving.
As Katie came outside she felt an arm pull her aside, it was Kristen. She motioned Katie to be quiet and to follow her. When they got about a quarter of a mile into the woods, Katie finally wanted to know what was going on.
"Where are you taking me Kristen? I am not in the mood for a midnight hike." Katie said in an annoyed tone.
Shhh!" Kristen snapped.
Katie was quiet for a moment then turned abruptly and glared at Kristen and said. "Tell me! If this is another one of your crazy-"
She stopped when she saw Kristen smile sweetly. "Ya know you need to learn how to trust a good friend!"
Katie glared again. "Okay, okay! Cole's mom was an idiot. We need to get him out of there," Kristen said stubbornly.
"Okay, mighty Kristen, and how do you suppose we do this? Do you think Peter won't notice two kids that looks just a wee bit like us walking down the highway?!"
"I have a plan, alright? Just trust me." Kristen told her.
"Alright, you have my attention." Katie responded hoping that this would not get the two of them shuns for the rest of their time at Horizon.
"If I have this planned out right, we take the woods along the road until we get to the main road we have to take to get to the place where Cole is, if we are lucky, we should get there about daylight and we can get a chance to see Cole." Kristen explained.
"That sounds good and all but what about us actually getting Cole out?" Katie asked.
"Well, I figured you could use your very nice pick pocketing skills that you picked up when you and I were on the streets, and get the keys from the guards." Kristen told her, "then we give the keys to Cole and he does the rest."
"This could actually work." Katie said acting like that was the first smart thing Kristen had ever thought of.
The two of them headed through the woods on their journey.

Kat was getting ready for bed when she noticed that Katie and Kristen were missing.
"Hey where are Katie and Kristen?" she asked.
"Oh, they are probably just down by the docks talking about the way they feel, I mean they were the closest to Cole than anyone." Shelby told her, "nothing to be worried about."
"I am going to go tell Peter just to be safe." Kat told them.
Kat put on her shoes and headed towards the office to see if Peter was still there.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Katie and Kristen had gotten a fairly good distance, when Katie started to have second thoughts.
"Kristen, what if this doesn't work? What if he gets caught breaking out and gets in worse trouble than he already is?" Katie asked, only thinking of the worse case scenarios.
"Katie, you can go back if you want, but I really like Cole as a.friend, and I am not going to let him stay in that place." Kristen angrily replied.
"Your right." Katie agreed.
The two were just about to make it towards the main road they needed to be on when they heard the drone of a car or truck coming there way.
"Let's try to get a ride." Katie suggested as she made her way out to the road.
"NO! Get back here!" Kristen said as she pulled Katie back.
"What are you doing? My feet are tired and I could use a ride." Protested Katie.
"Think about it," Kristen said as the sound got louder, "someone has already reported us missing to Peter and he is now probably out looking for us. We can't take any chances."
Katie thought about what Kristen had said and thought it made perfect sense, so she dropped down beside Kristen just as a pair of headlights made their way around the bend and into view.
The truck slowed down as it neared the area where the two girls were. It was starting to get light, but barely. Katie could hardly make out the distinctive color of Peter's old and beat up truck. She held her breath as the car was across from them on the road. Peter had a flashlight shining into the dark woods. As if it were luck the flashlight missed Kristen's foot by about five inches.
When the truck continued it's was down the road, the two girls let out a big sigh of relief. The two got up and continued to make their way to Cole. In about another 45 minutes, the two finally made it to the Detention Center. They checked each other over to see if they hadn't looked too much like two girls who walked through the woods all night.
Once inside, the man at the front desk gave the two an odd look before asking what he could do for them.
"We are here to see our brother." Kristen lied to the man.
"What's his name?" asked the man who still didn't quite believe the two.
"Cole Taylor" Katie responded firmly.
"Follow me," the guard told them in an annoyed voice.
Katie and Kristen waited in a room where other 'inmates' were talking with their visitors. The two sat down at a table with three chairs. When the guard left, Kristen asked Katie if she got the keys from the guard.
"Sure did," Katie replied dangling the keys in front of her face.
"Great" Kristen said trying not to be too conspicuous.
Cole walked into the room and was expecting to see either Peter of Sophie, but to his surprise, Kristen and Katie were sitting there. As soon as he got to the table both of the girls stood up and gave him a big hug.
"Hey there you two. How are you? Is Peter of Sophie here, I need to talk to them." Cole told them.
"We are good, and Peter and Sophie don't exactly know we are here." Katie informed him, trying to make a small joke out of it.
"Shit," Cole said in an angry voice, "don't tell me you two ran away and walked all the way here." "Okay, then we wont. Listen for a sec will ya? We have a plan." Kristen told him, annoyed that he was getting on their case for coming all the way up here to rescue him.
"Here," Katie told him as she conspicuously slid the keys towards Cole, "Katie and I will be waiting outside tonight, hopefully we will see you there."
Cole was speechless, he couldn't believe that Kristen and Katie had wanted Cole to break out, the reason he was in here is because of stupid stunts like the one they were suggesting him to do tonight.
"I am flattered by the gesture, but I can't do this. I am trying to get out of here the right way, not this way." Cole told them.
"Come on Cole, we will all three go away together," pleaded Kristen.
"I will think about it," Cole told them as he stood up, "if I am not out there by one thirty then leave without me, got it?"
"Fine, but we will be waiting around the woods until then." Katie told him as they also got up.
The three said their goodbyes and all left. Katie and Kristen went into hiding in the woods, and Cole went back to his cell, but on the way he stopped at the phone to make a call.
The phone was ringing, on about the forth ring, a teenage girl answered. "Hello, Mt. Horizon School, how can I help you?"
"I need to talk to either Peter Scarbrow or Sophie Becker." Cole told her.
"Just one moment please." The girl told him.
A few minutes later, Peter answered the phone, "Peter Scarbrow," he said.
"Hey Peter, it's me, Cole." Cole said as he spoke into the phone while taking a look around him.
"Cole, how are you doing?" Peter asked more alert now.
"I am fine, I just thought you would like to know two particular girls are hanging around the woods that are around here." Cole told him.
"Thank you for telling me, Sophie and I will be up there right away to get them," Peter told Cole, "oh, I talked to your mom."
"I cant talk much longer, my time is up," Cole informed him "but, I was hoping when you come to get Katie and Kristen you can come and talk to me."
"Sure." Peter told Cole in a reassuring voice.
The two said their goodbyes, and Cole went back to his cell wondering if he had done the right thing.
