"Look, that part of the story is even longer, and we don't have time to do it here. Let's just wait until school's out," Casey said. Derek started to protest, but Sam shook his head.

"Okay, fine," Derek agreed. Then, they all went back to their classes. Meanwhile, Nancy and Rod were on the road heading for Casey's town.

"Rod, I cannot believe you stole your own father's car," Nancy said.

"Desperate times, desperate measures," Rod responded.

"Neither one of us can legally drive yet!" Nancy reminded him. "We're gonna get caught," she added.

"Relax. I got it covered," Rod assured.

"What do you---no, wait. Scratch that. I don't want to know," Nancy stated.

"That'd be wise," Rod told her. Nancy sighed and leaned back in the seat. He glanced at her. "Hey, don't worry. We beat him before, we can do it again," he assured her.

"Did you see what he did to her face?" Nancy wondered.

"I saw," Rod confirmed. "I'll tell you this: that's the only thing he's gonna do to her," he added with a growl.

"Big, macho, tough guy," his friend teased.

"Come on. You think I can forget what he did? She was---she was heartbroken," he said.

"I know," she agreed. She sighed and fell silent. Rod's eyes clouded. The last two years had been quiet. Why was this happening now? What had stirred Krueger up? And what could they do? They certainly let the freak kill again. He glanced at the dash, making sure they had enough gas and that he was going the speed limit. It wouldn't help Casey if he and Nancy got arrested. Surprisingly, they were never stopped and they reached Casey's hometown in no time.

"What school did she say she was at again?" Rod questioned.

"Um, it was in a previous e-mail. Uh---J. Thompson High," Nancy answered.

"Road search," Rod announced.

"You're crazy," Nancy said. However, she didn't say anything else as her friend drove in search of the school. Minutes later, she caught sight of a building.

"Hey, is that it?" she questioned, pointing. Her friend followed her gaze.

"Yeah, that's it," he answered, pulling into the parking lot and turning the car off. Then, they ran up the stairs and Rod threw open the door. Casey and the others were in class when they heard the commotion.

"What on Earth?" Emily questioned, standing up.

"I've got no clue," Casey answered, doing the same. Curious, she walked towards the door.

"Miss MacDonald, please go back to your seat," the teacher required. For the first time in her life, Casey ignored an adult and continued out into the hall. As she did so, she noticed a boy and a girl running towards her.

"Rod? Nancy?" she questioned in confusion.

"Casey!" Rod and Nancy chorused, hurrying towards her. As the three approached each other, the teacher tried to regain control of her class to no avail. Everyone crowded around the door.

"How did you---" Casey began to ask. However, her voice trailed off and she looked to Rod. "You stole your father's car again, didn't you?" she realized.

"Guilty," Rod admitted with a weak grin. To everyone's surprise, Casey drew them both into a big hug.

"Oh man, am I glad to see you guys," she said in relief. The class shared a collective look of confusion. What was going on?
