Chapter 12: Goings On
Dear Kick,
I apologize, bạn would have to find out sooner hoặc later. I am sorry that bạn had to know too early. I was gonna leave him, but he found me. I'd hate to do this to bạn now, but I have to di chuyển back home. That's where the jobs are right now, and my mother has to support herself and I, after my father left her, it was devastating . I can understand how bạn could hate me now, but the feeling isn't mutual, I could never hate you. This may be the last time we talk,
Love, Jess.
His eyes scanned the paper again, did she really say that? How could he go on? Without her, Gunther would be all alone. The bus brakes squealed to a halt, Kick looked up at the familiar scenery. Remembering the sweet moments with Jessica. He wasn't mad, he was heartbroken. He just put on the mask to hide his feelings, isn't that what men do? Scarlet distastefully watched him fold the letter and tuck it into his pocket. "Bye Kick." he walked slowly down the stairs of the Cata bus, hands in his pockets. The freedom without the treo lên, sling on his arm wasn't enough to quell the churning deep inside. Rain pounded on his mũ bảo hiểm with clinking noises with every drop. That didn't stop him from walking up the steps of the big blue house that was empty. He twisted the wet knob "unlocked?" he stepped inside and glanced around the room, empty living room where they first found things they had in common, empty kitchen, where they shared their first uncomfortable moment. Everything was gone, except for a small chuỗi hạt, chuỗi hạt cườm on the counter. It was sterling silver, heart-shaped and had an intricate diamond embedded into the front. Thunder clapped loudly followed bởi lightning, which darkened the entire house. He let the chuỗi hạt, chuỗi hạt cườm fall to the deep blue swirling tiles. It clicked open to reveal, not only that it was a locket, but two pictures, of himself and the girl whom was the missing piece to the puzzle of his life. He couldn't stand it anymore, he took the locket with him, and marched all the way home.
"tell me again how your parents were gone this entire time, but they never knew bạn were gone?" "well, Gunther, I had Jacky do all my trang chủ work, and to make sure that my attendance record was clean, she offered to become me for a while. My parents were on a tour for Brianna's pageant. And Brad was glad to be trang chủ all bởi himself." he was smug. "Clever boy." Gunther rapped on his helmet. "so," "so ?" Gunther was confused "how was life without me?" "lonely. Well, for Jess." Kick cocked an eyebrow "What do bạn mean?" "she never really had many friends, except for me and Kendall." Gunther's voice trailed off. Kick pounded the đi văng at their secret hideout. " I don't get it! Why does she hide herself away from the world? It's like she's afraid of something." "Or someone" Gunther offered thoughtlessly. Kick had an epiphany, he knew what was going on.

Kick was preparing for one of his stunts.
"I don't know about this Kick..." Gunther said, worried.
"Oh please, Gunther. What could possibly go wrong?" Gunther had an extremely worried look on his face. Kick was about to bolt down a huge ramp, over a pit full of toxic waste and extremely hungry grizzly bears.
"Where do bạn even get this stuff from?" Gunther asked, confused. Kick didn't reply. Just after Gunther asked, Kick darted down the ramp, not with enough speed. Something went horribly wrong.
"Kiiiiiiick!" Gunther yelled, timid.

"Hey, Kick! Do bạn wanna head down to Food'n'Fix and see what's new?" Gunther asked.
"No, that's a terrible idea, Gunther. Let's head down to Food'n'Fix and see what's new."
"Okay, good idea! Why didn't I think of that?" When they got to Food'n'Fix, they were a little disappointed.
"Hey, it's danger dude and the wing man! What can I do ya for?"
"Wade, give us all the Cheetah Chug bạn got." Kick said.
"I'm sorry, danger dude, someone keeps stealing it. It's all gone."
"How could this happen? How could someone do such a thing? I'm gonna go nuts without Cheetah Chug. NOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Gunther yelled, panicking.
"Everything's gonna be okay, Gunther. So, do bạn have video cameras here hoặc anything that could catch the culprit?"
"Uuuuuhhhhhhhh........ actually yeah, there's one over there. But that's it. It stopped working a few years ago."
"Gunther, do bạn still have your power tools?" Kick asked.
"Of course!"
"Gunther, we're gonna install new cameras."
"No, that's a terrible idea, Gunther. Let's head down to Food'n'Fix and see what's new."
