"What to we do?" Deanna whispered. "They're getting closer"
"Jump in the water." Landon said.
"What?" Aisha said.
"They won't find us, the water is muggy. The dogs won't look there, hopefully." Landon said.
"It's freezing cold!" Aaron said. But Landon had jumped in. There was no time to make a decision.
"They will here the splash!" Aisha said. But the dogs were too close now. Deanna threw rock just a little smaller than a foot ball to the other bush. The rock made a noise, and as she guessed, the police went that way. Hann'e threw her gas bombs on the trees by the front to distract the keen noses of the dogs. And they all went in the water and held they're breaths.
Aaron couldn't hold his breath. It was muddy and dark in the water. It was also cold. If they made movements they would be found.
Soon Aisha was running out of air as well. Their chest tightened as they stayed in the water not moving. That's when Aaron could no longer hold it, he rised in the surface. Followed by the others.
Fortunately the police men and the dogs were gone., but they can see the cars' figures through the smoke. The cars too far for the police men to hear them. And there were trees surrounding them too, they were well hidden, again.
As the got out of the water they shivered. It was as icy cold, and they were soaked and muddy.
"I feel horrible." Deanna wailed quietly.
"I-I a-a-ammm cold." Hann'e said.
"We have to get dry or we'll get sick." Aaron said.
"Yeah... but where do we go?"
"I know a friend. He hides from the authorities too. He can get tempered, and selfish, but at least we have somewhere to stay. He smokes in the house. So I suggest we jusy dry up and take a shower. Eat something. Pay him. Then leave." Landon said.
"Pay him?" Aisha asked.
"He's conditional." Landon shrugged.
"How much will he want?" Hann'e asked.
"About a hundred..."
"As long as we're outta this condition." Aaron said.
"How do we pay him?" Aisha said. Then they heard footsteps. They knew the police men were still here. but they didn't have time to hide so they stood and held each other scared and shivering. Thats when they noticed the footsteps came from deeper in the creek.
As the footsteps came closer, they saw the figure of a girl.
It was Izumi.
"H-hey guys...? I got out... the police are here." she said.
"Oh my god it you!" Hann'e whispered in awe.
"Why are you guys wet? Aren't you guys cold?"
"Izzy!" Deanna cheered quietly and hugged her.
"Took you long enough!" Aaron said.
"Oh finally! Finally!" Aisha said.
"Welcome back Izumi. We're now wanted Juvinille Delinquents. We're miserable." Landon said half sarcastic and half true.
"Where's Victor and Tiffany?" Izumi asked.
It was silent.
"Oh..." Hann'e trailed off.
"Victor and Tiffany... is... uh.." Deanna started, sadly.
"What happened? Why are you guys so depressed? There something wrong! What is it!" Izumi asked.
"Shh... Tiffy and Vic are... they're" Aisha started.
"They're dead." Landon finished for her.
"Holy. Crap. No. No way. You guys are kidding around, right?" Izumi insisted. Aaron shook his head and looked down.
"Oh my god." Izumi's eyes became watery."Wh-who? Why! What the hell!"
"They were... they're dead." Aisha said.
"Just... stop." Hann'e said. Izumi was now miserable as well.
"Are we just going to stand here? They died they were realy good friends but we can't stand here and grieve about it. We have a friend to save! And we're all miserable!" Landon said.
"He's right." Deanna said.
As the police cars left. The group of friends were still in a horrid situation. If they show up in public, they would be caught for sure.
They stood in the cold for a while until dusk came by, and the group of friends left the creek.
There were a few people on the road. Luckily they didn't notice the escaped juvinille kids.
They walked by the gasoline station. There was one lady who went out of her car and went in the little store. That's when Izumi did it.
She went by the car opened it slowly, while her friends covered for her.
She found the lady's bag and took her wallet. She noticed in the trunk of the lady's car were shopping bags. Clothes, flipflops and groceries. She took them took them as well and ran, follwed by her friends. Somehow they got away and hid in the other side of the creek. And they were relieved of their luck, even if they were cold and tired.
Izumi looked in the wallet. There was three five hundred dollar bills,four hundreds, four twenties and three tens. There was also twent-five dollars and ninteen cents of coins. And there was a credit card and a bank card too.
"We better use the cards before she cancels it." Landon said.
"Wow we're seriously desperate freaks." Deanna said.
"It's too late, I stole the lady's stuff."
As they looked in the shopping bags. Therre were many shirts and vareities of pants. There were hats and sunglasses as well. There were hair treatments and deodorantd and soap. There were many girl underwear, but there boxers too. There were lots of food.
"What was this girl buying these for?"Hann'e asked.
"Doesn't mattter let's get dressed." Aaron said. As he took his shirt of and so did Landon.
"Eww what are you guys doing." Aisha asked.
"Changing."
"Do it somewhere else." Deanna said.
As they all got dressed and fixed their looks. They ate and slept. But their sleep was interuppted by a scream.
A very failliar scream.
