After Chloe showed the two boys around, she lead them to the dorm. They climbed up four flights of stairs until they couldn't go any farther. She lead them down the hallway and they stopped at the very last room. James was gasping for air.

"Guess your not in shape, huh?" Chloe said with a laugh.

"Ha." James retorted. He bent over and placed his hands on his knees. Alex rolled his eyes.

Chloe smiled. She seemed like a really happy person to Alex.

She shrugged her shoulders, "Sorry the trip to your rooms a hike, but we already have people crammed into each others rooms. Thankfully, you guys share a room."

"Thank goodness!" James exclaimed as he straightened himself out. "I was afraid I'd be back downstairs."

Alex jumped in before James could go off on a rant, "So, is there anyone sharing the room with us?"

"Yeah." Chloe said, "His names Jasper, but everyone calls him Jazz. He's an American kid, like me. You'll get to be friends with him. He's super sweet."

They walked in the door and inside was a boy. He had brown hair hanging in his face and was jumping around playing air guitar. He stopped when he realized they walked in.

"Hey, Chloe!" He shouted. He noticed the boys and gave them a wave, "Hey, dudes, you must be my new room mates!" He went to walked over but tripped on a pile of dirty clothes.

Alex and James looked at Chloe, who forced a smile.

"Your kidding, right?" James asked.

Chloe ignored him and helped Jazz to his feet, "Jazz, this is Jonathan Townes and James Sprint."

Jazz went over and grabbed their hands, shaking them violently, "Man, this school year's gonna rock! Me and my roomies will rule the school."

Chloe finding this a timely exit, headed for the door, "Well, glad you guys are getting along. I'm gonna head beck to my room." She bolted through the door, not wanting James to hound her about Jazz.

Jazz stuffed his hands in his pockets, "So, dudes, where you from?"

Alex placed his bags on one of the empty beds. James took the one next to his.

"We're from London." Alex said, trying not to show Jazz that he thought he was weird. "You?"

Jazz plopped down on his bed, which was covered in clutter, and sighed, "Miami, Florida. Party city of the U. S of A."

"Cool." James said as he pulled a pile of clothes from his suitcase. He looked at Alex and rolled his eyes.

At dinner, Alex and James were forced to sit with Jazz, who ate at a table by himself. Alex could kinda understand why, what with Jazz being, well, himself.

Back at the room, Alex excused himself and headed for a walk. Before he could get down the flight of stairs, James stopped him, "You can't leave me alone with him. What if his surfer ways rub off on me?"

"James, he's not that bad. A little weird, but he seems cool. Besides, I gotta go check out the school. Remember? I'm here for a reason."

James growled, "Fine, but if I'm an airhead when you get back, you know why!" He turned on his heels and stomped back to the room.

Alex chuckled and headed down the stairs. James wasn't always so uptight. He was actually kinda laid back. But Alex knew that his father probably sent him out here and James was still mad about it. Over time, the school would grow on him and he'd be his old self.

Alex opened the main door to the dorms and stepped outside. Across the courtyard was the girls dorms. He wondered which window was Chloe's. He went to his left and strolled towards a barn. He found that this was the first time investigating was actually easy.

He walked in the door to find a row of horses, all excited to see a human. He went to the first horse and stroked it's nose. It neighed happily. That's when Alex heard it.

A suppressed shout came from around the corner. Alex crept towards it trying to keep quiet. When he got closer, he could hear voices.

"Listen here, Jordan. You keep your nose out of our business and I won't have to kill you." said a voice. It was a man's with a thick accent.

The next voice Alex heard sounded familiar, "How do you know my name?"

"Easy. I've been watching you since you got here. Now, keep your mouth shut." The man said.

"You can't do that. What are you going to do about the agents? They're waiting for me. I am going to contact them." The girl's voice sounded strong.

The man growled and Alex heard a gasp for air, "Fine, I'll just have to kill you now."

Alex ran out from around the corner, "Leave her alone!"

The man was in a black ninja like outfit with a mask over his face. Dropping his victim to the ground, he turned towards Alex, "Trying to stop me, huh? You'll be sorry for that." He went to slug Alex. Alex twisted around and kicked the man in the side of the head. The man stumbled back and into a bale of hay.

The man, who was thin and lanky, jumped to his feet. He lashed out at Alex, missing by an inch. Alex, crouching down, swung his leg and brought the strangers feet out from under him. Alex stood back up, and gathered up his energy for another attack.

The stranger jumped to his feet and looked at Alex, who centered his weight and prepared to fight. "This is not over." He said as he turned to leave. Alex didn't know why he didn't put up more of a fight, but he was glad he didn't.

Alex turned to check on the girl and was stunned, "Chloe?" He gasped.

"Hi, Johnny." She said, nervously. She was rubbing her neck where the man grabbed her. "I know, I have a lot of explaining to do." She glanced around. But, I can't tell you here. Meet me tomorrow in the library after classes."

Chloe turned and ran out of the barn as quick as she could. Alex began to run after her but she was already gone. Now all he could do was wait for tomorrow.
