Courtney and Duncan were tied up for what seemed like an infinity to Courtney.. and what made it worse was that the senior citizens were.. lauging at them.

Courtney: can we sit? i cant feel my legs..

Duncan: hey princess?

Courtney: i wish youd stop calling me that..

Duncan: right. if you reach into my back pocket youll find a pocket knife. i have to go pee.

Courtney:..what!? your telling me this now?!

Duncan: hey what can i say, this the the closest ill ever get to your body so you cant blama a guy for having fun

Courtney: you are so vile.

she grabbed the knife and cut her way through

Courtney lectured on and on about until her phone rang

Duncan: finally.

Courtney: shuttup! hello?

Gwen: -sniff- Courtney?

Courtney: Gwen? are you crying?! whats going on?!

Duncan's face hardened as Courtney's grew paler and paler with every word

she hung up and sat next to Duncan in silence.

Duncan: whats wrong?

Courtney: Trents.. missing.

Bridgette and Geoff were behind the counter at the surf shack. everything was going smoothly.

Geoff: hey Bridge! i think we have customers.

Duncan walked in holding Courtney's shoulder.

Duncan: dude. Trent's missing and Gwen's in hysterics.. so is princess.

Bridgette ran up. she looked at Courtney and then at Duncan and then sat down without a word.

Geoff: dude we need some water for Courtney.. she doesnt look too hot

Courtney: i.. its.. my fault and i should have..

Duncan pressed his finger to her mouth

Duncan: its alright.. Courtney.. are you crying? please dont cry..

Geoff sat next to Bridgette and waited for her to calm down.

--

Courtney: Gwen told me about Cam and how he was touching her and threatening her and.. i should have let someone know..

Duncan: well now i know and ill beat the living piss out of him.

he slammed his fist into his other hand and then looked at Courtney. he raised her face up with one finger and kissed her.

Duncan: well find him.. and Gwen.. and when we do, ill persoanlly show him why i went to prison last summer

she smiled faintly and picked up her phone

Courtney: Gwen? stay where you are.. were coming to get you
