Jason shivered. "Geez, it's freezing in here! Can you put the window up?"
Ty rolled his eyes, and focused on the road. "Jason, the windows areall locked, and areall rolled all the way up."
Jason looked confused. "Then where's that breeze coming from?"
John cracked his knuckles and said, "Thereisno breeze, now be quiet!" He leaned back in his seat, and sighed. "Besides, we'll be there in like 5 minutes anyway."
Jason gave John a "moody" look, and looked out the window. "Sweet! That's the kind of car I want! That black mini over there."
Ty looked out the window. "What black mini? I see a blue mini, but nothing else."
Jason did a double take. "Weird… it was black a minute ago…"
John jerked up in his seat and grabbed the wheel. "Look out!"
Ty turned back to road just in time to see the ladder fall off of the truck in front of them. John swerved the wheel, and their car turned, busted through a chain link fence and slammed into ahuge metal box. ZZZZZTTTTT! Lights all around them flashed and went off.
"What did you do?" Screamed John.
Jason looked around. "I think we just took out power for the entire neighborhood…"
In Kimmie's room, Billy was reading a book at the desk, Sienna was chewing gum and writing, and Kim was on the internet looking up premonitions. "That's strange…" She muttered.
Sienna looked up. "What is it?"
"Well, this might seem stupid, but I've been looking at all these accidents, and it looks like they all have numbers in common."
Billy laughed. You're right, thatis pretty stupid."
She glared, and tossed a pencil at him.
"No really, there have been four accidents with 180 in them, 3 with 23, and 2 with the word "flight". One event had 203, and that's 23 + 180. They all seem to come up somewhere near the accident.
Billy shrugged and said, "what about ours? We didn't have any of those numbers."
Sienna thought for a moment and then said, "Yes we did. Remember how many people were in our climbing group?"
"40"
"No, I mean after we got kicked out."
"32. Oh… 32 backwards is 23."
Sienna smiled. "Exactly. Also, what room number did we meet Kelly in?"
Kimmie's eyes glowed. "You mean…"
"Exactly. Room 180."
"It all makes sense now…" Kim sat back. So thiswas happening.
Suddenly, the computer, clock, and lights all went out. Alexis looked around in the dark. "What the heck?"
Billy stood up quickly, breathing hard. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…"
"Billy, calm down, calm down!" Everyone knew how scared Billy was of the dark. He started backing up, and he tripped over the lucky pool ball. He fell and his head flew toward the hard wooden floor. Sienna leaped over and grabbed him only inches from the ground.
"Billy!" Kimmie rushed over to where Billy had been standing, and felt around for him. "Billy, it's ok. Calm down, I'm here now." She looked to Kimmie. "Is he ok?"
Kimmie shrugged. "Ask him."
"Billy, are you ok?"
Billy shook his head to clear it, and groggily said, "Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm…fine.
With that, he fell unconscious in their arms. Sienna wrapped him in her arms and held him close. Even though they fought a lot, he was still her little brother, and she never would want anything bad to happen to him. They were both staring at each other, when in the darkness, Sienna's cell phone rang and they both screamed.
"Aaahhh! What the heck?" Sienna picked it up and opened it, whispering "Hello?" Her eyes went wide as she yelled, "Oh… it's Ty! What's going on? Where are you?"
On the other end, Ty said, "Ummm. We think we hit the transformer, and blew the power out."
Sienna looked around, rolled her eyes, and chuckled. "Yeah, youdefinitely blew the power out."
"Is everyone ok?"
"Yeah, we're fine over here. We had an "almost" with Billy, but he's ok."
"Ok, great. Well, we can't reach Chris or Kitty, so what should we do?"
She thought. "Try Kitty's cell phone. She usually has it. We'll call Alex, and then Chris."
"Ok, got it. We'll probably walk over after we call. We're about half a mile away."
"Alright, we'll see you then." She hung up, and quickly dialed Alex. One ring. Two rings. "Whereis he?"
Alex had pulled the TV to the front of the stand, when the TV popped back on. "Aaahhhh!" He jumped back, and his foot landed on the pizza box. It flew out from under him, and he threw his hands out in a last ditch effort to stay standing. No go. On his way down, he caught on to the TV stand, and whammed into it with all his weight. He slid to the floor dazed, and looked up, at the TV wobbling above him. "God that was a close one…"
The phone rang. He got up, and walked over. He checked out the caller ID, and almost threw the phone in anger."Shit..." He picked up the phone and yelled, "I'm fine! Leave me alone!"
Wham! Something large slammed into the ground behind him. He spun around, and his eyes bulged, as he saw the TV screen in pieces all over the floor.
Sienna ,on the other line, yelled "What was that?"
Alex looked at the TV again, and glanced across the floor. His favorite picture, which had the words to a famous conversation between his two favorite actors, Tony Calargean and Tim Todd, was on the floor.
It wassupposed to say their names and then the phrase, "I'll see you again, right Tim?"
"It'll be soon Tony. Soon."
The whole middle section was gone. Now it said,
"Tony-----------------------------------------Todd.
"I'll see you ------------------------------------Soon."
Alex shook his head, and let the phone fall to the floor.
"Alex? Alex?" Rang out Sienna's voice from the small voice box.
Alex grabbed his keys, coat, and slammed the door, walking as fast as he could to his car, not having a clue where to go, but knowing he had to get out of there.
