"i'm nervous," carlos told his two best friends. the three of them were currently in ricky's car. ricky and gina sat in the front while carlos sat in the back. he sat forward in the middle seat so he could talk to gina and ricky.

"don't be! we're gonna be fine," ricky explained, "gina's gonna distract jenn while you and i sneak in through her kitchen and into her office."

"what if it doesn't work out?" carlos asked with fear. gina and ricky glanced at each other and shrugged, "THAT'S IT? NO PLAN?"

"this is the plan," gina told carlos, "either we get it right or we don't. so make sure you don't fuck anything up."

"me? what about ricky?" carlos argued as he pointed at the boy, "he's the one with that stupid ass mask on."

"hey! no one told me we were gonna wear ski masks! this was the only thing i had," ricky spat back. carlos just rolled his eyes as gina laughed at the boys.

"do you want my mask?" the girl asked. ricky shook his head.

"no? mines still cooler than your guys masks," ricky stated as he put his mask on. the two of them laughed.

"alright, jenn should be in her living room right now watching reruns of gilmore girls," gina explained as she read the time on her watch. she faced ricky and gave him a smile.

"alright, i'm giving you guys ten minutes," gina said, "once that ten minutes is done, get outta there as fast you can."

"got it," ricky told gina. the three of them all got out of the car. they walked up to jenn's house but once they hit the driveway, ricky and carlos ran to the back while gina headed to the front door.

"good luck," ricky whispered to gina as he walked away. she gave him and carlos a thumbs up and the two boys ran towards the back of the kitchen.

they immediately went to the floor once they reached the door. there was a window on the door where ricky and carlos could see jenn inside the house. she as in fact watching reruns of gilmore girls. ricky and carlos heard the doorbell ring. jenn got up from the couch and answered it to see gina.

"gina? what are you doing here?" jenn asked the girl. while gina stalled, ricky got out a pocketknife and started to pick the lock.

"are you sure that's gonna—" by the time carlos can even finish the sentence, ricky unlocked the door. the curly headed boy gave carlos a smirk while he rolled his eyes.

"my leg just hurts really bad jenn. i don't think i can dance anymore," gina told jenn. she saw ricky and carlos slowly make their way into the kitchen and to the office.

"WHAT? well lemme just get you some ice—"

"NO!" gina quickly said before jenn could turn around to see ricky and carlos. the three of them panicked but tried their best to stay calm, "i mean ... ice won't do anything jenn. it's really really bad— AHH there it is! sharp pains everywhere."

ricky and carlos made their way out of the kitchen while they heads gina's voice echo throughout the house. they finally made it to jenns office and closed the door behind them, "alright ten minutes," carlos whispered to ricky as they dug through her office.

the two boys fiddled through papers, drawers, but didn't really know what to look for. "did you find anything," ricky asked carlos who only shook his head. the boy sighed as he glanced around jenn's office. there had to be something, "i don't even know what to look for."

"me either," carlos told ricky. they both sighed and scanned the room for anything that stuck out to them. then there it was — a safe

"and we have a winner ladies and gentlemen," ricky cheered as the two of them raced to the safe. ricky immediately put his ear against it and tried his best to unlock it. it took awhile but after a couple of tries, it opened.

"since when were you cool?" carlos asked the boy. ricky rolled his eyes and opened the safe door. there was just a bunch of papers and a flash drive.

"our ten minutes is almost up," carlos told ricky as he read through the papers, "find anything?"

"nope," ricky said, beginning to lose hope. that is until he read the last paper, "what the..?"

"what?" carlos asked. he went to rickys side and read the paper in the boy's hand. carlos' heart stopped and he reread the paper over again and again.

"wait what ... that doesn't make sense though, right?"

"yes, it does ... " ricky said in quiet voice as he looked at carlos with wide eyes, "gina was adopted when she was a baby, remember?"

"so it's true..." carlos stated as he stared at the paper in front of them, "gina is benjamin and jenn's child."

"find anything useful?" gina asked once they were all in the car. ricky and carlos glanced at each other but just shook their heads.

"nothing yet," ricky lied and gave gina a soft smile.

"we'll figure something else out," carlos said. he glanced at ricky and two boys felt washed over with guilt. gina sighed and nodded her head.

"welp! at least he tried," gina stated and started the car, "let's go get something to eat."
