OMG I am soooo sorry for not updating. I have been really busy. I feel terrible so please forgive me.

Chapter 4

The sun had set and the stars had started to come out when Stan hurried home.

After arguing with his parents for coming home late. Stan went up to his room and went to bed early. He did not tell his parents about Kyle. Stan didn't want them to think he might go looking for his best friend which was exactly what he was planning to do.

Stan went to bed with his normal clothes on since he had no intention of going to sleep. He waited and listened for over an hour after he heard his parents, his grandpa, and Shelly go to bed..

Finally when he was sure everyone was asleep the young boy got out of bed and got his backpack. Stan packed similar things as Kyle including: a few extra sets of clothes and some money. He put the bag around his shoulders and quickly and quietly tip-toed downstairs.

He headed for the garage and got his own big wheeler bike. After carefully getting himself and the bike under a small opening of the garage door (which was open for Sparky) Stan mounted his bike.

Stan wasn't sure which direction Kyle had gone and started to realize how crazy this was. He decided after a moment that he had to find Kyle no matter what the odds were. He would never forgive himself if anything happened to him.

He then decided to head North so he peddled his bike down the sidewalk in the right direction. As he rode by the houses he did not notice that inside one of the houses a TV was on and could be seen through a window.

The news was on the television and the reporter was saying: "Citizens of Park County Colorado, beware of a murder on the loose that is targeting young boys".

Another cliffy mwhahah! Don't worry though even with tennis season starting up and the fact that I'm on the team. I'll try my best to update sooner. Also sorry about the shortness.
