A Whole Week Had Passed By That Ryder Had Been At The Military Camp. Jake,Blaine And Sam Got Away From School,Their Parents And Just Everyday Life To Sneak Away And Try Their Attempt At Rescuing Ryder.
"Are We Ready?" Jake Asked As They Packed Up His Truck
"Yeah. But Did We Really Need All The Beer?" Blaine Smiled
"Hey, We'll Need To Celebrate Once We Get Ryder" Jake Replied
Sam Put A Hand On Jake's Shoulder "And We Will Get Him Back"
Jake Smiled And Nodded.
"But Really We Aren't Gonna Need All This Stuff To Break Him Out Of A Camp" Jake Stated
"You Never Know What We'll Need. That's Why I Brought Some Of My Different Uniforms From My Stripper Days,Incase We Need To Impersonate Police Man Or Something" Sam Explained
"Oh Well That Makes Sense" Blaine Said From The Backseat.
"Guess We Better Get This Roadtrip Started. Monroe County Is A Good Ways Away" Jake Said As He Started Up The Truck
Sam And Blaine Cheered As Music Blared Through The Stereo Speakers. They All Sang Along
'I See You Drivin' 'Round Town With The Boy I Love
And I'm Like, Fuck You!
I Guess The Change In My Pocket Wasn't Enough
I'm Like, Fuck You And Fuck Him, Too!'
About 3 Hours Into The Trip Jake Stopped At A Little Gas Station.
"Alright Boys. Bathroom Breaks And Junk Food Run. Five Minutes Or I'm Leaving Without Ya" Jake Smirked
Jake Went Inside To Pay For Gas. Sam Began To Pump It. Blaine Stood There As He Filled The Tank And Talked.
"So How Much Farther Is This Juvie Camp?" Sam Asked
"Three More Hours At Least. Monroe County Is Two Counties Over" Blaine Explained
"Alright Well We Still Got Tons Of Music To Listen To" Sam Smiled
Oh His Smile Just Made Blaine Melt. His Big Puckering Lips. He Just Wanted To Pull Him In Close And...
No! No! He Shook His Head. Sam Is My Friend, I'm Not Gonna Mess This Up With My What Could Be Fantasies
Sam Looked At Him Strangely "What's Up? What You Thinking About?"
"Nothing. I'm Not Thinking About Anything" Blaine Lied
"Oh Come On,I Know You're Thinking About What I Look Like In One Of My Stripping Uniforms" Sam Teased And Nudged Him On The Shoulder
Blaine Returned His Smile.
"So Are We Ready To Go?" Jake Interrupted Coming Out Of The Store
"I Guess So. Neither Of Us Had To Use The Bathroom" Sam Replied
They Hopped In The Truck And Sped Off On Their Continued Adventure.
Jake Had Time To Think As Blaine And Sam Sang Along To The CD's They Made. He Wasn't Sure What Would Happen Once They Got To The Corrections For Men Camp,
A Million Things Could Go Wrong But His Love For Ryder Made Him Want To Try Like Hell To Do Everything In His Power To Get Him The Fuck Outta There. If They Got Caught Sneaking Him Out,What Would They Do Then? Would Ryder Get In Even More Trouble? Would Sam,Blaine And Him Get Sent There Too After A Failed Attempt?
He Had To Stay Positive. They Were Going To Save Ryder And He And Ryder Were Gonna Run Away Together.
Run Away Together? When Did I Decide We Would Do That? Jake Thought. Well If That's The Only Way For Us To Be Together...Then So Be It.
Just Then Jake's Cell Rang. "Guys Its My Mom" He Replied And Paused The Music.
"Hey Mom"
"Jake Where Are You. The School Called And Said You Missed A Few Days"
"Well, I Needed To Take A Little Roadtrip With Some Friends To Monroe County"
"Jacob You're Not In Any Trouble Are You?" His Mother Asked
"No, It's Nothing Like That Mom. I'm Just Helping Out A Friend And I Should Be Back Tonight"
"Alright Well Honey,Please Don't Mess This Up. We Enjoy Being In Lima And You Can't Get Kicked Out Of Another School"
"I Know,Don't Worry I Won't Miss Anymore Days Of School"
"You Promise?"
"Yes Mother"
"That's My Boy"
"Bye"
Jake Hung Up And Same Asked
"What Did She Want?"
"School Called Her About Me Skipping"
"Is She Mad?" Blaine Asked
"More Like Disapointed" Jake Said
"Ah. I've Been There" Blaine Shook His Head.
"Okay,Okay Let's Keep Jammin' " Jake Said Turning The Tunes Back On.
As Sam And Jake Were Singing A Michael Jackson Song, Blaine Stared Out The Window. Watching The Lines On The Road, The Trees Passing By, The Nicely Built Homes Lining The Streets. Then Suddenly The Houses Seemed To Pass By Slower And Slower. He Noticed That Trees Weren't Around Much Either. It Was All Like A Big Desert,There Was Nothing Around For Miles And Miles. He Snapped Out Of His Sight Seeing
"Hey Are We Going The Right Way? There's Nothing Out Here"
"Yeah. The Camp Is Very Isolated. I Guess It Keeps Inmates From Running" Jake Answered
"Inmates? You Make It Sound Like A Prison,Dude" Sam Said
"I Guess It Kind Of Is...They Go Through Hell In Juvie Camps" Jake Admitted
They Passed A Sign That Read 'Corrections For Men Boot Camp 4 Miles Ahead'. "We're Almost There! Anyone Nervous?" Jake Asked. Sam Looked Down A Moment Then Met His Stare Answering "I'd Be Lying If I Said No" He Smiled. "Blaine?" Jake Asked. "Ryder's My Friend. He'd Do It For Me,Let's Get Him The Fuck Outta There" Blaine Confessed. "How About You Jake?" Blaine Asked. "I'll Do Whatever I Gotta Do To See Ryder Again" Jake Admitted. "That's Awesome Man" Sam Smiled. "Ah, Shut Up Dude,It's Nothing". A Ways Up The Road They Saw Another Sign Stating The Boot Camp With An Arrow Pointing Right. Jake Followed The Sign's Arrow And Turned Onto A Dirt Road. By Now It Was Dark Outside And They Had Been Following The Dirt Road For About A Mile Now. "Do You See Anything Yet?" Jake Asked The Guys While Squinting Through The Windshield. "Nothing Man" Sam Replied. "Wait I See A Light. Jake Turn Your Headlights Off" Blaine Said. Jake Pulled The Truck Off The Dirt Road And Turned Off The Engine. "We Should Walk From Here" He Declared. "Wh-What About The Stuff We Brought With Us? We're Just Leaving Everything In Here?" Sam Asked. "Look, I'm Not Sure How This Is Gonna Play Out Yet. Maybe We Won't Even Need Any Of It. If We Do,We Can Always Come Back For It" Jake Whispered.
"Now, Come On" He Motioned. They Walked Slowly And As Quietly As They Could Up To The Light Blaine Had Saw. It Was A Porch Light To The Office Cabin Of The Boot Camp. "At Least We Know We're At The Right Place" Blaine Smiled. They Heard Someone Yelling And Followed The Voices,Making Sure To Stay Out Of Sight. They Could Hear A Man Yelling "You Missed A Spot! Hurry The Hell Up Its Almost Time For Lights Out!" Another Called Out "Yes Sir!". Jake Looked At His Watch And Whispered "It's Only 8:30" He Teased. Sam And Blaine Playfully Shoved Him And Smiled. "When I Come Back This Floor Better Be Sparkling Or I'll Be Sure To Do To You What I Did To The New Boy,Ryder!" The Man Threatented. Jake Looked Back At Sam And Blaine "We Gotta Get To The Office And Find Out What Cabin Ryder's In,And Quick!" He Whispered. They Retreated Back To Where They Had Seen The Porch Light To The Office. It Was Locked So Jake Picked Up A Rock. "Wait,Wait. If You Smash That Through The Window, They Will Hear It. Here Use This To Wrap Around The Rock" Sam Said And Took His Shirt Off. Even In The Dark Blaine Could See How Perfect Sam's Chiseled Chest Was. Focus Blaine! He Scolded Himself. Jake Did What Sam Suggested And Wrapped His Shirt Over The Rock And It Softend The Blow.
Then He Reached His Hand Inside And Unlocked The Door. "Let's Go,Come On" Jake Instructed. They Could Still Hear The Same Man Yelling A Few Cabins Down As They Searched Through Papers And Invoices For A Clue To Where They Were Keeping Ryder. Only Using The Lights From Their Cell Phones Blaine Finally Found A Paper After Occasionally Stealing Looks At A Shirtless Sam. "Here I Got It" He Announced. They Huddled Together Looking "It's Cabin 128. Let's Go". They Hurried And Ran Out Into The Night,Using The Darkness As A Shield, But They Let The Office Door Slam Shut Behind Them. "What Was That?" The Man Yelled "I Don't Know,Sir" Another Answered. "Shit,We Let The Door Slam" Jake Realized. "Sorry" Blaine Whispered Realizing He Was The Last Out. "We Gotta Make It To Cabin 128. Hopefully We Can Get Ryder Before They Even See The Broken Window" Jake Said. They Ran Around The Left Side Of The Camp Looking At The Side Of The Cabin's For Ryder's Number.
9,24,16,78...These Damn Things Aren't In Any Order! Jake Realized. Then He Heard Sam Say "There It Is Over There On The Right Hand Side" And He Pointed. "Lets Go"
Slowly And Quietly Jogging They Made It To Cabin 128 And Try The Knob,It Was Unlocked. They Snuck In And Began To Look Around. There Were 4 Beds,So They Knew That Meant 4 Guys To Each Cabin,But Which Bed Was Ryders? Just Then Someone Jiggled The Cabin's Doorknob. They Boys Turned Their Cells Off And Tried Their Best To Hide But It Was A 1 Room Cabin. A Boy Walked In Dripping With Sweat And He Turned The Cabin Light On Then Gasp "What Are You Doing Here?!" He Asked.
"We Were Looking For Our Friend Ryder,Ryder Lynn" Jake Stated
"You Came Here To Break Ryder Out?" He Whispered
Jake Looked At The Others Then Carefully Shook His Head Yes
"Well You're A Little Late" The Boy Answered
"What Do You Mean?" Blaine Asked
"Ryder's Gone. Their All Gone And Left Me Behind"
"What? Why Did They Leave You Behind? Where Did Ryder Go?" Sam Asked
"We Had Plans To Sneak Outta This Place,The Only Problem Was We Never Had A Time Or Date,Its Just Suppose To Happen When It Happen. I Was Busy Cleaning The Bathroom Floor With A Fucking Toothbrush For Billy When They Decided To Make A Run For It"
"Well If You Want,We Could Take You With Us...Umm-?" Jake Started
"Travis" The Boy Answered
"Travis." Jake Finished
"Do You Know How Long Ago They Left?" Blaine Asked
"Well I Started Scrubbing The Floor Then Came Back To Get Another Toothbrush And They Were Gone But I Knew I Had To Hurry Back To The Bathroom And Finish Or Billy Would Bitch,So...Maybe 15-20 Minutes Ago?" Travis Answered
Jake Looked At Sam And Blaine "That Means They Could Still Be Here. Lets Get Going"
They Begin To Go Out The Door. "Travis Are You Coming?" Jake Asked
"Yeah. Just Let Me Grab Some Clothes". He Grabbed An Outfit And The 4 Of Them Dashed Out Into The Night. They Heard Billy Screaming "Who The Fuck Broke This Window?!" He Began To Bang On All The Cabin Doors And Making The Boys Stand In A Line Outfront Of Their Cabins. "Cabin 128,Get The Fuck Out Here NOW!" When There Was No Reply He Stomped In And Found It Empty. Came Back Out And Announced "Welp, Looks Like We Have Ourselves A Couple Of Runners. They Won't Get Far All The Way Out Here In The Middle Of Nowhere. They'll Turn Up...They Always Do!" He Told The Rest Of The Boys. "So Let This Be A Lesson To The Rest Of You. There Is NO Escaping This Motherfucking Boot Camp. You Hear Me You Fucking Butt Pirates?!" He Shouted.
Even All The Way Down The Dirt Road Jake,Sam,Blaine And Travis Could Hear Billy Yelling. Jake Stopped Dead In His Tracks And The Others Bumped Into Him.
"What The Fu-" Jake Started
"What? What's Going On?" Sam Asked
"What's The Problem?" Blaine Asked
"My Truck. It Was Right Here...It's Gone!"
"What?! You Mean You Left The Keys In It?" Travis Asked
"Yeah. I Wasn't Expecting Anyone To Steal It All The Way Out Here. I Just Wanted To Get Ryder And Be On My Way Home. Ugh Why Did I Think This Would Be Easy?"
"Look We Gotta Get Outta Here. I'm Sure Billy Will Start Looking For Us All" Travis Feared
"How?" Sam Asked
"I Guess We Have No Choice We Gotta Walk" Blaine Said
"Well At Least You Know That Ryder Probably Has Your Truck" Travis Said As They Walked Down The Dirt Road
