"so wait, Rachel's gone?" Quinn asked.
"yeah." Finn stated. Santana started crying.
"and we uh, kinda left Brittany at the school." Santana said through her tears.
"whoops." Will said.
"well lets figure out this riddle." Sam said. Puck read the note aloud.
"'you think this is over, don't you? Lets play a game. In order to find the one you both love so very much, you must figure out this riddle. Each riddle will lead you to the next. I will be watching. Two down, 15 to go.
The woods on the west, the lake to the north, the rocks to the east, and the house to the south is where you lost her.
To find her, one must be very book smart, handy, and have a passion. Ignite the fire to the west and the path to the second riddle will be revealed.' Okay this is some crazy ass shit."
"hmm. Well, the killer explains where Rachel was taken from. Meaning, the beach." Mike began.
"obviously. Asian squared, could yall actually do some smart shit for once?" Santana said through tears.
"Santana theyre trying." Finn stated, comforting the Latina.
"it says we need to be book smart, handy, and have a passion." Sam continued.
"well, book smart means smart from books, right?" Finn asked. Sam nodded. "well then maybe we should start looking in the library. "
"that's a great idea. Blaine and I will go look for whatever we can find about this mansion in the library." Kurt said, heading towards the library and pulling Blaine with him.
"okay, then it says that one needs to be handy." Mike continued.
"well, handy could mean a bunch of things. It could mean handy with tools, a bunch of hands, or uhm, masturbatory wise, handy." Sam took his explanation a little too far.
"im pretty sure it means handy with tools, like those needed to start the fire to the west it talks about." Rory told him. "isn't Puck handy with tools? And Finn, isn't your stepdad a mechanic? You guys should both be pretty handy."
"that's true. But how can tools help us start a fire?" Tina asked.
"well, they could use saws and stuff, or other tools, to get wood and shit to start a fire. Or they could use a lighter." Santana said, sobbing.
"yeah." Mercades agreed.
"okay so we've got gayboys working on book smart, we've got handy down, all we need is passion." Puck stated.
"that's easy." Finn stated.
"how?" the rest of the group asked.
"Santana and I have a passion for Rachel. Sam has a passion for Mercades and vice versa, Puck and Quinn have a passion for Beth, Tina and Mike have a passion for eachother, Rory has a passion for peanut butter, Kurt has a passion for Broadway, and Blaine has a passion for performing. Its obvious." Finn explained.
"wow finnocence. That was the smartest thing ive ever heard you say." Santana stated, calming down.
"okay, so we're working on book smart, we've got handy and passion, now all we need is to set fire to the west, whatever that means." Sam stated.
"wait a minute, didn't the note say that the woods were to the west or whatever?" Mercades pointed out.
"yeah. Okay, so Puck and I will go set the fire." Finn stated, pulling Puck, who took a lighter out of his pocket, along.
"we're coming with you." Tina said, referring to everyone else.
"nobodies going anywhere tonight. We'll do it in the morning." Will made his presence know. "everyone go to bed."
And everyone did exactly that, except nobody dreamed. They were all worried about the day to come.
