Kim was pacing across the grass. She didn't know what to do. What to think. Frank was controlling her, taking over her. And she couldn't stop him.

She was standing in her gi, pretending to watch Frank's new routine and Brody's sparring match. Brian thought she was watching him work with a bo staff. As if. Of course, everyone else was inside. They had all tried to bribe her to go in, but as she was stubborn, they gave up. She was in the back, where no one would look and wonder. This way, she could zone out the going ons in the Black Dragon and focus on her problem.

For all Kim knew, Eddie, Milton, Jerry, and Rudy may not even show up. That would waste her time, wouldn't it? To be fair, it wasn't like she would be sleeping at one either way. Because this may not seem like a troubling situation to an outside observer, but it seriously was. It almost made her want to scream right then and there. Was it save her friends and betray them, or save them and hurt them? Neither was appealing, and as she was already so far into Frank's plan, she couldn't back down now.

Eddie, Milton, Jerry, and Rudy may not have even seen the slip of paper. Perhaps they didn't bother looking? Would Jack wonder why he wasn't requested? Would he show up, assuming the lack of his name was a mistake?

Kim didn't notice that Brody was standing next to her, watching her pace, until he cleared his throat. Startled, she flipped him. Brody grunted, then got up.

"You okay?" asked Brody.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Nobody else noticed, but I saw you were pacing, looking slightly perplexed."

"I'm fine."

"Okay, whatever." With that, he left, but not before noticing the way Kim looked at the Bobby Wasabi dojo.

Jack, we're gonna go now. If we don't text at 2 sharp, call the police

Jack chuckled at Eddie's message. There really was no need for police. Was there? What if Frank set them up? What if Frank and Kim really were trying to kill them? Or harm them physically? Would Kim do that? What if Kim didn't even write the letter, and Frank put it there? But how? Frank wasn't smart enough. But then...who was? Ty? Ty didn't care that much, right? What about Brody? Jack snapped his fingers.

"Brody put the letter there!" he yelled out loud. He was lying on his bed on his front side, originally a very comfortable position. But Jack just knew Brody set them up! Brody, everything he ever was, was a lie. Being such a double agent, it was difficult to know what Brody's next move might be. He was definitely behind this.

"Jack, hon, are you okay?" shouted Mrs. Brewer, probably hearing his outburst.

"Yup, just had a nightmare," said Jack. It was twelve forty five in the morning. If his mom knew he was awake and coming up with theories for an otherwise rather simple situation, he would be grounded for life.

"Okay!" yelled back his mom, before dropping the topic and letting him "sleep." His mom thoroughly trusted him, probably because she thought Milton, Eddie, and Kim were "angels" and they've influenced him.

Jack decided to sneak out and warn his friends. After all, if Brody got to his, for lack of a better word, defenseless friends and hurt them when Jack was in his bed, he would never forgive himself. He pulled up the window and climbed out, still wearing his pajamas which consisted of a T-shirt and sweat pants.

The boy had never snuck out before, so when he climbed out, he reached for a tree branch and missed. Jack worriedly groped around, losing his footing in his room. This caused the young karate student to come tumbling down from a second story window and land in a bush. Fortunately. Although he was sore, Jack was relieved he was okay, as the rush that he had felt previously while falling down was not pleasant. When his heart rate had slowed to normal, Jack quickly dashed to the school.

"Um, are you guys a little nervous?" asked Milton, shaking. He had never disobeyed his dad this far before.

Jerry, who constantly snuck out, smirked and shook his head. "Yo, you're the only nervous one, man."

"Actually, I'm a little scared, too," Eddie murmured. "What if something happens? What if they've changed Kim? We don't have Kim or Jack to protect us!"

"Hello? You have me," Rudy said.

The three boys turned away and pretended to have not heard Rudy's statement, making the childish man pout.

"There's the school!" Milton said, pointing excitedly.

"Milton," Rudy said, "we can see the school. You don't have to tell us." Milton blushed and nodded, as they proceeded on into the school grounds. They soon started roaming outside, desperately waiting for Kim.

It was exactly a minute till one. If Kim didn't show up, they would know they had been played. All four of the waiting group had certain moments in that single minute, that sixty second period of time, that they had considered dashing out and crawling back into bed. However, not one of them did, as Jack, and Kim, were much more important to them.

"There you guys are!" said Kim, smiling and waving with eagerness yet alert. Almost as if she were happy to see them, yet not quite sure if she was doing the right thing.

"Kim!" they all yelled, before engulfing her in a hug. They may have seen her the day before (it's after midnight, remember? :D), but it felt like they hadn't seen her, the real Kim, the sneaky Kim who cared, for a long time. Truthfully, it hadn't been long since they've seen her. Two days tops. Yet that long day seemed to have dragged out into what felt like a year, or maybe a century.

Kim hugged them back, then shushed them and pulled them into the shadows. Seaford High was no special school; it had no special student garden or anything. But if the children hid in between trees, they wouldn't be seen. And since there were no observant teachers, they could hide in that exact location.

"Before you guys speak, there's a lot I have to explain," said Kim.

The guys all nodded.

"What happened with me and Frank was-"

"Brewer! I honestly mean no harm!" yelled a voice.

Well, there you have it! It could've been longer, but then again, I guess in order to keep it interesting, probably not. I intend to make many layers, if you know what I mean, into the story. I don't know, I'll just have to see. Thank you guys for reading! Please review! And also- all errors written in former chapters such as the error in this sentence: "It was mold day" will be fixed once the story is finished. In case you guys wanted to know. Anyway, thanks again for reading, I hope you liked it!
