Planning for War

The door slammed and a strange sight met Ryan's eyes as she glanced at his bed. Seth and Summer were both laying on their backs not talking, just staring at the ceiling.

He cleared his throat, almost laughing as the two brunettes jumped and looked around almost nervously. "Since when does Seth not talk?"

Seth scratched his head, and stared at Ryan. "Ha…ha…ha…you are so funny."

"What's wrong with you?"

Summer sat up and stared at Ryan with the same gaunt expression Seth had. "Is Marissa here?"

"No…but I can call her."

Seth sighed. "Yeah you better do that…"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

When all four were sitting in the dorm, two on each bed, Seth took a deep breath and started to explain.

"Last night, Sum and I were walking through campus, and someone walked into us. We didn't think anything of it, until he turned around…he looked…he looked like Oliver…" Seth trailed off.

Marissa sucked in her breath, her face gone white.

Summer continued, "But we weren't sure. Then this afternoon we were at this really cute diner…which by the way you should totally go to…okay Seth God…well anyways, we went to the diner, and suddenly this man in a trench coat walked in, and looked straight at us. And it was…it…it was Oliver."

Ryan and Marissa's faces matched in their shock, as they both stared at Seth and Summer.

"Then we ran into him on the road too. And I don't know what 's going on. I don't know who he's after…but we definitely have to do something about this." Seth finished up.

Marissa let out a strangled sob. "I thought this was over…why is he back? Why does he always have to follow us? Why is he so obsessed with us?"

Ryan cuddled Marissa into his shoulder. "We have to do something." He said in a low voice.

Seth nodded in agreement. "I say we come up with plans. Plans to bring this psycho down."

Summer shook her head. "Don't you think we should call the police? I mean this is some serious stuff…"

Marissa lifted her head up off of Ryan's shoulder. "NO. We can't call the police. Oliver was never really convicted, so he has no real criminal record. They wouldn't belive four college kids from Orange County. Plus, we have no real evidence. We have to fight him ourselves."

Summer stared at Marissa, knowing how serious this was. She sniffled a bit. "Okay…so what are we going to do?"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Two hours later, the four of them sat in the same position, staring off into space.

"Um, so what are our exact plans here?" Seth asked breaking the silence.

Summer sighed. "I'm bored."

"Um, Sum, I was being serious."

"So was I! This is so stupid. We can't come up with plans by ourselves. There are only four of us. We need reinforcements."

Ryan finally voiced his opinion. "Like who?"

Summer scrunched up her face in concentration. "Like…oh screw it, I don't know."

Seth chuckled at Summer's effort. "Well, I think we're all too fried today to come up with something good. Maybe we should all go to sleep and think aobut it tomorrow morning. Classes start in three days. And then we won't be seeing each other as often. So that means we have like two days to come up with something."

"Like war plans."

"Um what Summer?"

Summer rolled her eyes. "Like war plans. We have to come up with a battle sequence. A plan to fight the enemy, and bring him down. A way to crunch them into the ground and destroy them all with muskets and swords!"

They all stared at the tiny girl on the bed. "Right. Okay. Whatever you say Sum…"Seth said.

"Shut up! I learned about the Civil War last year alright?" Summer yelled as she hit Seth in the shoulder.

"Alright! Okay, I get it! We will have war plans."

"Thank you!"

"You two need help…" Ryan muttered.

"Well do you have any other ideas?" Seth asked in a teasing voice.

"No…but WAR plans? We're taking down one man, not a whole army…"

"Ryan my dear friend…it is the ESSENCE of the thing…"

"Whatever Seth. War Plans. Great." Ryan rolled his eyes.

So it was settled. The four would meet the next morning to talk over their ideas to take down Oliver. I mean…their WAR plans.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

so random I know. I would love some ideas on what to do to get rid of Oliver. I need something original…and my brain is just no original lately. So help is always appreciated!
