Even if they're flames, it lets me know that someone's actually reading em so thanks to the 2 who wrote reviews. You guys are the reason I'm continuing. I'm kind busy today so it's not gunna be very long. I'll make a longer one sometime this week. Okay, here we go...

"FREEZE!"

Psymon turned around to see 2 security guards with guns pointed at him. He thought quickly. His life WAS going down the drain. And if he just gave up like this, he'd go to jail anyway. He had to pursue it as far as he could. He lifted up Mac with his knife still at his neck.

"Put the guns down or I kill this kid right now!" he screamed.

The security guards looked at each other. They slowly put down their guns. "Now, if you just let the kid go, we can take you to a place where you can get your life back together."

Psymon thought. Could these people really help him? But what if they were lying. Then he was screwed. "How can I trust you?"

"Please, son. We're policemen. We only want to help you."

Psymon did really want to get his life back together. Ever since he saw his mother and father get shot he had been traumatized. "I.. don't know.. what to do."

"Look, son. If you kill this boy, it won't make anything better for you. You'll be arrested and put into jail for life. You'll be completely hated by the community. Your career will go down the toilet. And you'll not only ruin the life of this young man, but the lives of everyone around him."

Psymon realized something then. "I.. don't.. care! I really do not care about anything. I'm going to kill this kid. You can't stop me." Psymon laughed and then readied his arm.

All of a sudden, Psymon made a sound and rolled his eyes to the back of his head. He then fell over head first unconscious. Behind him was Luther holding a aluminum bat.

The policemen quickly took Psymon, handcuffed him, and took him out to the police car. "Good work, son," they said to Luther.

Mac turned around. "You.. saved me? I thought that.."

Luther grunted. "Don't get used to it. You owe me one, Mac."

Kaori went over and hugged Mac. "Oh, thank goodness you're okay." Mac turned to Luther as he was walking away. "Thanks," he called after him.

Luther kept walking all the way to his room. Kaori looked at Mac. "Boy, people really can surprise you sometimes, huh?"

Mac nodded. "Yeah.. Come on, I gotta tell Brodi what happened."

All the SSX riders but Psymon and Luther were gathered around in a circle in Mac and Brodi's room. Mac was telling the story to everyone, exaggerating as usual. Kaori just watched him and smiled when he made something up like how Psymon went "flying" across the room when he punched him. But the one thing he didn't leave out that she thought he would was the part about Luther saving him. Everyone in the room gasped. Rahzel came into the room. "Wass goin' on in here?"

Mac looked at him. "Oh, just telling the story of my near-death experience."

Rahzel stared. "Yeah... Well, it's almost 11, so ya'll need to go back to you're rooms."

Everyone started to leave. Elise and Kaori were the last to go.

"Well...? Say bye to him!" Elise whispered to Kaori. She gave her a little nudge and then went over to Brodi. "Hey, Brodi, could you, uh, show me where the bathrooms are. I sort of forgot."

Brodi knew she had a bathroom in her room but he didn't care because he knew he should leave the room, too. "Yes, follow me." They both scurried out of the room.

Kaori then looked at Mac. Mac was putting away his clothes on the floor. He didn't realize Kaori was still in here.

Kaori took a step towards him. Mac jumped when he heard her. "Oh, jeez! Didn't know you were still in here."

Kaori giggled a little. "That's alright. I just wanted to say good-bye."

Mac mind went to work. Should he say good-bye? No, no, no. Too obvious. Hug her? Hmm.. Maybe. Kiss her! Oh, Jesus Christ.. Could he do it? He got up and then came towards her. "Well, I guess.. I'll see you tomorrow then?"

Kaori nodded. "Mhmm. Um.. Aside the whole you almost dying thing, I had really nice time tonight."

Mac smiled. "Yeah, me too." They went silent for what seemed like hours.

Kaori broke the silence. "Well, good-bye." And then she and him hugged and she started to walk out the door.

"Hey, Kaori?"

Kaori turned around. "Hmm?"

Mac walked towards her and stared right at her. He started to move in and Kaori was frozen where she

stood. She closed her eyes. Mac gave her a little kiss on the lips. Kaori opened her eyes. She smiled. There was nothing to say. She slowly turned around and walked out the door. She looked around one last time to see Mac smiling at her.

She walked into her room and took off her jacket. She shut the door behind her.

"YES!" she squealed.

Yeah, that was a short one just cuz I'm busy. Your reviews motivate me to make more so.. write em if you can. Even a short "Plz continue" or a "You should blah blah blah." Anything. I just like to know that people read this. pCe OuT.
