Theme Song: Tenth Avenue North "By Your Side"

Ding Dong


Ding Dong

"Rosa! Get the door already!" shouted Taylor who was annoyed by the doorbell.
Ding Dong


Taylor groaned, "What the hell is the point of having you here, if you do nothing?!"
She rustled out of her bed and walked out of her bedroom.

Ding Dong


"Seriously, who is ringing our doorbell this late anyway?" Taylor asked herself.
She tried to look past the door, but could only see some strangers in dark clothing.


"Mr. Lutz?" Taylor surprisingly said.
She was quite confused to see Mimi's dad on her doorstep. Taylor knew he was a fed
and all, but what reasons could he have to come here.
"If it's about Rosa, she's legal!", Taylor fearfully blurted out.
"Who?" Ruby asked perturbed.


"Hey Missy, is your mother home?" Harry asked ignoring what Taylor had said.
"Um..no, why?" she replied dismayed.
"We just need to check your garage", Chris said anxiously.
"Okay?" Taylor questionably agreed.
She moved to the side, letting all three of them walk past her.
What's going on? she asked herself as she began to follow them.


"It's not here sir", Ruby stated.
"We can see that Ruby", Chris said peeved.
"Well, so much for that", Harry said.
"Perhaps he moved it", Chris said hopeful.


"What are you guys looking for?" Taylor asked.
"Just mind your business, we'll be out of your way very soon", Ruby replied.
"Actually, Ruby look around. Taylor, let us ask you a couple questions", Harry said.


"Hm, these tools look like they were recently used", Ruby thought as she examined
the messy equipment, "Perhaps he fixed the car and then moved it somewhere else",
She tried to open the toolbox but it was locked, "Damn, this kid is pretty smart".

"Hey Taylor, where are the keys for this thing?" Ruby asked her.


"I don't know", Taylor exclaimed, "I never go in here, I swear".
"How do you never go in your garage?" Chris asked annoyed.
"Rosa does everything and Riley likes play around in here", Taylor explained.
"Where is Riley? Harry asked.
"I don't know, me and Riley don't communicate at all anymore", Taylor answered.
"If he's not here, then let's check his room", Chris demanded.
____________________________________________________________________________

"This is getting pretty fishy don't you think?" Chris asked Harry.
"It is, but we don't have anything on him so far", Harry said opening his door.
"But he's not home out of all days of the week, when we arrive? It's as if
he expected us to show or something", Chris analyzed.
"Calm down, Chris", Harry said.


Harry paused at the doorway, "What the?"


"This room is extremely messy, I thought they had a maid", Harry said perplexed
by Riley's awfully, disorganized room.
Chris walked over to the bare wall, "Hm, this wall has pin holes in it. It looks
like something used to be hanging here", Chris examined.
"So far I'm finding this kid to be no suspect", Harry said.
"But sir-" said Chris.
"I want Riley and that other kid you talked to in for questioning tomorrow morning", Harry demanded
leaving the room.

Flint happily snored loudly in his bed. His snores were so vulgar that anyone could mistake
him for a grizzly bear. How could Asia possibly put up with this awful habit?


Flint began to toss and turn in the sheets uncomfortably.
He reached out his arms and laid them on top of Asia's long sleeve shirt.


Flint yawned, "Asia, I thought you were wearing a tank top when you went to sleep".
Flint wrapped his arms around her, "Asia, did you lose weight?"
"Get off"
"Huh?" Flint said weary.
"Get off!" Dylan grumbled.


Flint quickly jerked out of bed as he heard the sound of Dylan's voice.
"What the?" Flint said still tired.
"If you ever tell anyone about this, I will kill you", Dylan threatened.
"Why were you in my bed?!" Flint complained.


"I came here to get you but I was still sleepy from waking up early and-"
"So you lay down in my bed?" Flint finished.
"Sorry, next time I'll sleep in the chair", said Dylan sarcastically.
"It's okay if you wanted to sleep with me, I won't judge you", Flint badgered.
"What?! I came here-" Dylan was cut off.


"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!" Flint babbled.
"...to celebrate your Birthday", Dylan quietly finished. Flint continued to ignore him.
"God, how can you have a kid if you act like one?!" Dylan yelled at him.
"What did you say?!" Flint responded.
"Nothing, get dressed already", Dylan said.
"Are you going to watch me do that too?" Flint bantered.
"I'm not gay, knock it off already before I really get mad", Dylan said furiously.

Kyle


I walked in the plain white room and saw the federal agent waiting for me.
"My name is agent Chris Farlind, have a seat kid", Chris said pointing to the chair across from him.
"Is there a reason I've been called down? I'm really busy today", I said grabbing the chair.


Chris didn't reply, he stared deeply into my eyes and then slowly lifted up his hands.
"See this?" Chris asked raising his hands. I was confused and looked at him like he was crazy.
"I don't see anything", I replied.
"Exactly!" Chris shouted as he banged his hands on the table making me nearly
jump out of my seat.


"We didn't find a single piece of evidence on that kid Riley you accused", Chris explained.
"Are you kidding? There was a banged up car in his garage", I said hitting my hands on the table.
"Nope, not even that. But from looking at the tools in his garage, that genius
must've fixed it", Chris informed me.
"That doesn't surprise me, Riley's no dimwit", I told him.


"Look, isn't there anymore investigating you can do?" I asked.
I was worried. If Riley managed to fix his car and get it out of his garage just in the
neck of time, then he knew something was going to happen.
"No kid, I want to believe you but I can't without any hard evidence", Chris said.
"Can you please quit calling me kid? My name is Kyle" I insinuated.
"How's it going in there Ruby?"


"I think Kyle Hammon is telling the truth, sir", Ruby replied.
"Oh really?" Harry questioned her once again.
"You mean to tell me that you didn't suspect how fishy Riley was earlier?" asked Ruby.
"Well...", said Harry as he became lost in thought.
____________________________________________________________________________
2 Hours Earlier...


"So you're telling us the truth when you say you don't own any other vehicles,
Riley?" questioned Harry as he looked Riley firmly in the eyes.
"Yes sir, I swear we only have three cars. You can even ask my mother", Riley replied nervously.
"Hm..you can go home Riley", Harry said.
"So where are you hiding the car Riley?!..wait what?" Chris pronounced without realizing
even a single word Harry just said.


"You're going to let this kid go?" Chris questioned Harry.
As Riley began to get out of his seat, Chris jerked his head and yammered, "Sit down!
We're not done with you just yet".
"Is there a problem, Farlind? Riley you can go", Harry said bewildered.
Riley started to get out his seat once more, "You're not going anywhere!
Sit down!" Chris shouted at Riley, frightening him.
"Chris, stand down! Riley, go home. Ignore my subordinate he's had a long night",
Harry said as he looked at Chris who was fuming.


Once Riley exited the interrogation room, Chris began to vent his frustration.
"How could you just let him go like that?! Isn't it obvious that genius fixed the car?!"
"Do you have any evidence that he fixed a car he doesn't even possess?" Harry rolled his eyes.
"No-" Chris said as Harry cut him off.
"Then get some!" Harry earnestly said.
____________________________________________________________________________


"Look, I understand that you guys have absolutely no proof, but we can't just let that weirdo
continue to walk around freely", I said.
"And why not?" Chris asked.
"Because..he's a stalker", I answered bluntly.
"And just who is he stalking?" Chris asked once more.


"A classmate of mine, Mia Lutz", I told him.
As Harry began to walk out of the room he was frozen by the sound of his daughter's name
being announced. "Is this boy serious?" Harry thought.


"I hope you realize what you are saying Kyle, because this is very serious", Chris said.
"I am being serious! I found tons of photos of her mounted on his wall!" I badgered.
"We checked Riley's room there were no photos", Chris told me.
"He obviously stashed them away!" I shouted getting annoyed.
"I understand your frustration believe me, but calm down", Chris said trying to repose me.
The door slammed open as a man came shouting, "Are you sure that's what you saw?!"
the man exceedingly questioned.


I looked at his frightened face, then realized his hair, eyes, and skin complexion were very
similar to Mimi's.
"Are you her dad?" I asked him.


"Yes, now tell every little thing you know about Riley and we'll make our move from there", he exclaimed.
I think this case just became even more urgent than before.
____________________________________________________________________________


"You two are surprisingly quiet", Anthony said perplexed.
I was pretty surprised myself, usually Dylan and Flint yammer nonstop.
"Well that's because...never mind forget it!" Flint fumed.
What's wrong with these two weirdos? Hell, if they weren't here me and Anthony would
act estranged towards each other. Ever since our gig he hasn't even acknowledged my
presence. But it is all my fault, I should've seen this coming sooner or later.
The silence was awkward so I decided to finally speak, "So, where do you want to stop at it first Flint?"


"I don't know. Why did you guys bring me to the mall? You know I'm an awful shopper", Flint explained.
He was right, he was an awful shopper; he'd buy things that were overpriced or not even on sale.
"Well, er..we were coming anyway and we couldn't just leave you out. Besides, Anthony really wanted
this brand new video game", Dylan lied terribly.
"I did?" Anthony said puzzled, then Dylan turned around and glared at him, "Oh right I did!" Anthony
said going along with it.
"Oh cool, I get it now", Flint accepted gullible as ever.


"Oh and after this we should go catch that new action flick with Vin Diesel! Is that okay Flint?" Dylan said excited.
"Dylan, he stopped walking since back there", I pointed in the direction and told him.
"Why didn't you guys say anything?!" Dylan asked.
"Because I thought we were headed for the game store", Anthony assumed.
"That was just to get him off our backs about bringing him here", Dylan explained.


We turned around to join up with Flint and caught him staring at sale sign that was posted
up in front of the jewelery store.
"What do you want some new jewelry?" I asked Flint.
He didn't answer and just continued to examine the sign.
"I didn't know you into expensive jewelry, Flint", Anthony said.
I've never seen Flint so fixated on something before, I guess he really wanted some.
"I'm want to check it out", Flint finally spoke as he walked inside the store and followed him.


The store was beaming bright, perhaps it just the shiny jewelry behind the counters.
I never really was the type to shop in these kinds of stores, the last time I was in a jewelry
store was when my dad needed my opinion on an anniversary gift for my mom.
"Hello young man, do you some help finding something?" the amiable, clerk behind the counter asked.
"No, I'm just looking", Flint answered.


Flint continued to walk down counter by counter looking at the jewelry.
I was pretty confused at what exactly he was looking for. I watched as he walked
and then jerked towards something I think had finally caught his eye. Wait a minute
isn't that a-?
"Can I look at that one?" Flint asked pointing at it.

Mimi


"That damn boy, first he gets her pregnant then wants to join a boy band,
what the hell is next?" Jeff irritably thought as he hammered the nail onto the broken door.
Jeff paused and took a deep breathe, "What would my father do?...Oh yeah, my father would
definitely have a stroke after the pregnant part and then another stroke after the boy band part".


I whispered into Jenny's ear, "Is it me or is Flint's dad actually hot?"
"Mmm, it's definitely not just you", Jenny replied staring at Flint's dad as he was fixing the barn door.


"I mean I'm happy to be a grandfather but I'm not happy that same thing that happened to me
is happening to my son", Jeff thought.
Jeff wiggled the door roughly, then opened and closed it.
"There, I think that's fixed. Now to feed the horses and I'm done", he said as he put down the hammer.


"Oh! He's moving", Jenny said nearly jumping out her seat.
"I think he's done fixing it", I groaned.
I think were enjoying this a little too much.


We continued gleaming at Flint's dad as he walked across the to horse shed.
But unexpectedly a large ball deflected our line of sight.
"Whoa! It's Mars", Jenny said bouncing back.
"I'm going to pretend like I didn't just here that. And what are you guys doing?
Did you forget about helping me?!" Asia briskly said.
"Hehe, sorry?" I said. I had totally forgot about the work we were doing.


"Sorry?! We have an hour left before they get back!" Asia wailed.
"Whoa! Okay, calm down A! We'll get started again just calm down", Jenny trying to compose Asia.
"Yeah it's not good to be stressed. Why don't sit down while we do the rest?" I said worried.
"I will definitely not sit down!" Asia said walking away.


"Okay then don't sit down, just don't overwork yourself", Jenny said.
"Fine, but we need to hurry up and finish", Asia spouted.
"I didn't know being pregnant makes you this emotional", I said teasing her.
"What are you talking about?" Asia asked confused, "I just want everything to go as planned".

Kyle


I slowed down in front of Flint's driveway, "Hm, why is my dad's Buick lying outside the barn?" Flint asked.
He severely looked at the direction of barn.
"He probably forgot to park it back inside, I'll go put it back", Flint said.
"Wait! You don't want to do that!" Anthony shouted.
Anthony you idiot, you're going to blow our cover shouting like that.
But then again we can't just let Flint drive inside the barn and run everyone over.
"And why not?" Flint questioned.


"Because maybe he left it outside for a reason", I explained to him.
"Oh, you're probably right. I should look inside first", Flint said opening the door.
"We'll come with you", I said.
"That's unnecessary", Flint replied.


"Hey did you hear that?!" Jenny jumped at the sound of a car door.
"Oh yeah I did", Asia replied.
"They're here", said Mimi who had just peeked outside.


"Oh right everyone quickly turn off the lights!" Jamie shrieked.


"You guys really didn't need to walk up here with me, I think I can park a car without the help
of three people", Flint said trying to brush us off.
"Yeah but...we're bored", Anthony lied.
"That bored huh?" Flint questioned.
"Why didn't you come up with a better lie you dumbass!" Dylan whispered to me.
"I'm the dumbass?! You didn't even say anything back there!" I whispered.
"Shut up, I was thinking!" Dylan muttered.
"Hey, what's that?" Flint asked.
