First, I'd like to thank Rose Gamgee for FINALLY (lol) reviewing my
story. I'd also like to thank datwistergal for reviewing it and for being
so patient. I figured the best way to make up for taking so long to get the
fourth chapter up, was to put the fourth and the fifth chapters up on the
same day. See, two for the price of one. Just know. This is almost like a
filler chapter, leading up to the events of chapter 6, which is almost done
now. So, here goes. CARPE DIEM!!

~Mike Barton slid the window up and crawled through. His feet hit the white linoleum floor loudly.
The sound seemed to ring through the empty halls of Aquin High School. When the sound died down, he
leaned back out the window and helped his girlfriend, Erica Tyler, through. After she was in, Todd
Anderson climbed in. "So what are we looking for?" Mike Asked. Todd crossed the room and threw open
the door. "It should be in Ms. Cross' room!" He shouted over his shoulder as he took off down the hall.
Todd and Erica had a history test the next day, and Todd had the idea to sneak into school that night and
get the answers. It took them all of ten minutes to find the answers, but leaving the school was a different
matter.
A few years earlier there'd been a body found at the school. They'd never figured out who had
comitted the murder, but as a result the doors and windows had been outfitted with a silent alarm. While
they were searching for the history test, police had been assembling in front of the school. As they'd parked
in back, they got to their car with no trouble, but there was no back way out of the parking lot. They came
out of the parking lot at almost fifty miles an hour. Narrowly avoiding one of the parked police cruisers. It
took only seconds for the police to realize what was happening and take off after them.
The chasie didn't last long. They made it to Arcadia road, only a mile or so ahead of the police, before
Mike slammed on the brakes. He grinned at Erica and Todd, who smiled back. He pulled a small, black squirt
gun out of his pocket. "Watch this!" He shouted, laughing, as he ran out of the car, waving the squirt gun
in the air. Again it took the cops only seconds to react. Seconds to duck behind their open car doors.
Seconds to pull their guns from their holsters. Seconds to fire. Mike's body shook with every bullet that hit
him. Erica began to scream and Todd threw his arms around her, hoping to shield her from what was
happening to his best friend and her boyfriend. His eyes were shut tightly, but he could hear the bullets
pounding his friend's already cold body.
