Simply Complicated:

Rick ran to a hotel in the middle of the city. (AN: Sound familiar?) He brought his light suitcase and dropped in onto the carpet.

"Sir," A man with his nose slightly tipped upwards walked towards Rick. "Are you planning to check in?"

"Oh," Rick mentally counted the cash he had. "How much is one night?"

"About one hundred dollars." That meant that Rick would only have 20 left. But he could always sneak back into the house to get more. He was too tired to look for some Motel 6. He had to settle.

"I'll take a room." The man brought him up to the counter and handed him his room key in exchange for the money.

"It's on the third floor, room 35. Would you like an escort?" The manager flapped his hand towards one of the bell boys.

"No, I'm fully capable of carrying my own luggage." Rick snorted back. "If you can call it luggage." Before he could look back at the man's shocked face, he turned towards a nearby elevator and pressed the button.

"Hazel comes back in two days. That gives us that much time to find everyone else in our posse." Jimmy laughed at his own choice of words.

"I was never part of your group." Sean mumbled.

"You are now. We all knew Emma. She was a good person, underneath the stubbornness." Sean nodded as they approached De Grassi Lane. He looked up and saw Ellie sleeping quietly on the steps.

"Ellie!" Sean ran forward and gave her a quick squeeze. "Are you alright?"

"Huh?" She yawned. "Sean! Jimmy?" Ellie stared at him.

"Surprise," Jimmy chuckled. "I'm here. I'm here to help. Help find Rick."

"What?" Ellie looked from Sean to Jimmy. "When did we decide this?"

"Jimmy and I did." Sean explained the rest of the story to her. The walked around to a nearby park. The play structure lay untouched and the swings trembled in the slight autumn breeze.

"How will we find all the other people? Like Paige, or Craig?" Ellie pointed out.

"Um . . ." Jimmy scratched his chin in thought.

"I know," Sean ran over to a phone booth. "Here's a yellow page book. All we have to do is call them. I hope this is updated . . ." Sean said in frustration as he flipped through the book.

"Paige Michalchuk, Hazel Aden, Craig Manning, Ashley Kerwin." Jimmy paused for a moment as Sean rapidly flipped through and tore out pages. "Got them?"

"Yeah, yeah I think that's it." Sean sighed.

"But don't you think we should also pull in some of the people from her grade, don't you think?" Ellie suggested as she stood up to stretch.

"Like who?"

"I don't know, like," She thought for a moment. "JT, or Toby, or someone."

"Well if it isn't the new save the world team." Ellie turned around and there stood Alex.

AN: Sorry. I guess I sorta ran out of ideas. Xx I'm dying! Hee hee.
