ethiopian1987- Part-Cheesy is a board game with a mouse and a trap and you basically have to trap the mouse. Apples to Apples is a card game, that is helpful to get to know people because…it's hard to explain but the rules are: There are two decks, green cards and red cards. Everyone gets about seven red cards (and everytime they put one down they draw a new one). The red cards have random nouns on it like…Chuck Norris…London…Bart Simpson…Cell Phones (and yes I've had those words before). The green deck has adjectives like Gross and Annoying. Then, every person takes a turn being the 'judge'. They draw a green card, put it face up, then the other players find a card in their hand that they think that the judge will put with that word (like…Gross…and someone will put down a card that barf, or something). Then, the red cards that the players put face down will be shuffled (not by the judge though), then the judge will read the cards aloud and put them face up so the others can see. Then the judge chooses which red card's word they think goes with the adjective. Then, the player who put that word down gets that green card. The goal is to get the most green cards.

Chapter 3- All Alone:

Danny:

I woke up startled to the sound of a door.

"Sam," I called out groggily. There was no reply. I got up out of bed.

I looked around and didn't see anyone. I didn't smell the bacon, or eggs. I didn't hear the coffee maker. I didn't hear Sam…

"SAM!"

She wasn't in the bed. I ran to the living room. It was empty and hallow.

"SAM! SAMMM! SAMMY! PLEASE!"

I looked everywhere. She wasn't anywhere. Her stuff was still here. There was no note, no anything. I fell to the ground.

"Sam…"
The front door opened and Tucker came in, rubbing his eyes. He yawned and stretched.

"Dude, you're gonna wake up the whole building…hey, where's Sam?"

He looked at me with wide eyes. He came over as he saw me.

"No…Danny…"

"She…she's gone…what if…what if he took her?"

"I…I'm sure she's fine, man…she's Sam. Let…let's go look for her, okay?"

I ran up to Tucker.

"Tuck," I said my eyes still moist, "any luck?"

Tucker looked at me worriedly.

"Not yet, man…I'm sorry."

I sighed. We had been searching all day. It was night by now. Where is she? Where is Sam?

I can't live without Sam. She's my life. She's my anchor. She was the only thing keeping me here. She was my reality. She was my heart, my soul. I loved her.

Tucker and I finally called it a night, even if I went kicking and screaming. I didn't want to give up.

"Dude, we aren't give up. We just can't go at it all night…"

I turned my head. I saw a small shine of something in the alley near the bar. We're too young to drink, obviously, but we wanted to check every inch of this town. The thing shined from the alley.

"Tucker…"

I started to walk towards it.

"Danny, you okay?"

"Just…please…I…I need to see that…"

I kept walking into the deep dark alley. Tucker was at my heels. Finally, I saw a shine on the ground. I bent down.
"No…"

Tucker's eyes widened. My eyes were moist.
"Sam…"

It was Sam's ring. The ring I gave her. The ring that was the symbol that we loved each other. The ring whose almost twin was around my own neck hidden under my shirt. The ring that stood for the day we promised. The ring that was the symbol that we were promised to each other. The ring that was similar to an eternity ring and it was on the ground still on the silver chain.

Evil laugher filled the air and my ears, but I sat on the ground, staring at the ring, in numb shock.

"NOOO," I screamed.

When I saw Vlad, my memories of the murders, all the images, came back, but it was too late. Before I could do anything, Tucker was dead. His lifeless eyes were opened. His body was bloody, and torn apart like an animal attack. I snarled at Vlad.

"YOU MONSTER! YOU RUIN EVERYTHING! YOU TOOK EVERYTHING! HOW DARE YOU!"
I tried to attack him, but was stopped.

"Hey, what's going on?"

We both turned to face a guy who looked military. My eyes widened.

"No! GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE-"
The guy was in a state of shock as Vlad attacked.
"Can't leave witnesses after all….expect for you…I think I'll save you for later…Good luck."

Vlad disappeared. I fell to the ground.
"No..no…They're all gone…Tucker…Sam…no…."

I finally found the strength to get up, but I didn't stop crying. I went over to Tucker's body and closed the eyes.

"At least you can get some respect…"

I sobbed as I left. Sam and Tucker. Both, gone.

Third Person:

"Stop that," Ziva snapped.

Tony put down the box of M&M's that he was using as ammo to throw at Ziva. McGee was typing away at his computer. Leroy Jethro Gibbs walked into the bullpen.

"Case, let's go. Navy officer dead in an alley along with a teenage boy…"
