Okay...hey peeps. So, here's what's happening. I know a lot of y'all like this story, so my others are gonna be on a sort of break (not really because I don't update much anyway even when they're not on break) so I can focus on this one.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Jack ran as fast as he could. He didn't want to screw up and be too late. Somehow, he knew Brody was behind this. Brody was, after all, very suspicious. Jack didn't know if he could trust Brody anymore considering what happened last time. And sure, second chances are great, but when a guy's messed up that badly, can you forgive him?
When Jack reached the school grounds, he couldn't find anything useful. Not the shining hair of Kim, not the loud chewing sounds from Eddie, not the odor from Jerry, not the item Rudy likely dropped, nor the annoying rants of Milton. This wasn't good. What if they took his friends? What if this was a prank? Seriously, what was Frank planning?
"Brewer! Hey! What are you doing here?" asked a voice that made Jack turn red with anger. Brody. Ugh, why was he here? Did he know where Kim was? Did he take the rest? Did Brody have information?
"What are you doing here?" Jack asked in a dangerously calm voice.
Brody shivered a little at Jack's tone. "Uh...I'm trying to find Kim."
"Why? How do you know she's here?" asked Jack. This Brody was suspicious. He probably spied on them twenty-four seven. It'd be pretty awkward if Brody caught them doing...erm... necessary embarrassing things while spying. It just would be.
"Chill, dude. I had Kim's phone, and there was a reminder-"
"-Why did you have Kim's phone?"
"Jack, I had her phone because she let me watch a video on there and-"
"-Video? What video? Kim hates videos on her phone! She thinks the screen is too tiny!"
"It was a karate video! To help my technique! Man, are we doing a debate crossfire or something? Hm...is your source reliable?"
"Don't change the topic! Where's Kim?" asked the caring black belt, just about ready to pounce on Brody.
"I don't know! I'm looking for her. I know what Frank's doing, and I want to help!"
"Help? Help Frank? You want to hurt her, don't you? You just can't get it out of your stupid head that maybe Kim's happy with us!"
"That's not it!"
"Oh, but you implied it! And Frank's not doing anything! They're just two kids in love!"
"I guess. I mean, Kim's all dreamy when Frank's there and-"
"-You want to hurt Kim! You've done something!" At that, Jack swung a punch at Brody. Brody, surprised, yelped at the impact.
"Brewer! I honestly mean no harm!" yelled Brody.
"What was that?" asked Eddie.
"I don't know," Kim admitted slowly, cocking her eyebrow as if she were studying their surroundings. "But that sounds like Brody."
"You mean the guy who tried to sabotage your Cotillion, only to have Jack fix it?" Milton asked, for clarification and to hint at something Kim couldn't quite put her finger on.
"Yeah. What other Brody do you know?" Kim chuckled, rolling her eyes.
"Y'know, Kim has a good point there," Eddie said.
"Yo, I know this other Brody! Oh...wait...never mind, his name was George," Jerry said.
"How'd you get...forget it," Milton gave up on the hopeless confused boy.
"Well, are you guys gonna go find out what it is, or am I the only mature one here?" asked Rudy.
"First, you're thirty," Milton said as if that one sentence (which was a full sentence as 'you' was the subject and 'are' was the verb and that's what makes a clause) meant everything; explained everything, "And second, uh, yeah! Let's go, guys!"
The warriors and Kim all went to find Brody. The guys because they wanted to pretend to kill Brody while also not getting hurt, and Kim to find out why Brody might potentially be in danger.
Just as they reached the source of the sound, they saw a furious Jack raise his fist to punch Brody in the face. The poor black belt was defenseless and cowered near the dirt ground.
"Stop!" yelled Kim loudly, rushing to prevent any harm.
As she got there, she noticed that Jack's arms and face were covered in scratches, giving away that he fell out of a tree.
"What are you doing?" she asked curiously.
"Brody...I know he's up to something...wait...what?" to say Jack was confused would be an understatement. He was more clueless than Jerry was. Which was saying a lot.
"I don't know where you got that idea from, but Brody's not trying to hurt me or the guys," said Kim.
"Actually, I was here to help," said Brody slowly, "I know what's going on, Kim. And I think you should tell the guys."
"That's what I was going to do!" said Kim.
"Well hurry! Frank could come any moment!"
"To a school? Please, I know he's desperate, but that's definitely not him."
"Hurry up and explain!" Jack said, keeping a firm grasp on Brody just in case. Just in case.
"Well..." said Kim slowly.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" asked Lindsey with a sugar sweet smile.
All of them- Rudy, Eddie, Jerry, Jack, Kim, and Brody- groaned. Because...ahem? Kim was just about to bust Frank!
"I think a good question would be, what are you doing here?" asked Jack. All of the karate students and the sensei nodded.
"I was just taking a casual stroll at the school, at night, y'know?"
"Uh, no, we don't," responded Jack, "who does that?"
"That sounds like fun!" Milton said.
"Okay, guys, I have something to tell you. About Kim," Lindsey said.
"Oh joy. Ruining my life again, are you? They know everything about me," said Kim.
"Really? Everything?" said Lindsey, "they don't know..."
She started opening a weathered book with the word Diary in gold written on the cover.
Brody slapped the book out of her hand.
Sort of a cliffhanger, right? Okay, I've been thinking of a schedule for updating. I'm gonna post a new chapter of this every Monday, so that I can keep on track. What do you think? :) Also I kinda hate myself for putting Lindsey in here (is it Lindsay? If it is, tell me), but I figured why not? Plus, I'm not sure if I should make her evil or good. I need your input! THANKS!
