After talking for a few more hours I fell asleep on the couch. So Tyler carried me to my bed and put my blanket on top of me. He then went home for the night... but he made a quick stop on the way. He wouldn't tell me what he did to Kepler to make him tell the truth, but whatever he did, he did it that night. And the next morning Kepler actually told the truth... from the middle of the city! I was surprised to find out the next day that he had done it. Though I was more concerned that I slept in all those uncomfortable clothes. Geez! But back to the story. That day I went to see Tyler to thank him for whatever he did. We were also supposed to have lunch together that afternoon. But when I got to his house and knocked on the door, no one answered. I tried calling him on his device. Still no answer. I asked all around if anyone had seen him, but no one had. After about an hour a began to worry. And as time went on I started to worry more and more. I was thinking the worst possible things:
"He's somewhere out there Hurt, or he's trapped... or he's cheating! Wait... no... definitely not that. What if he's dead!?"
Any and everything was running through my mind. And unfortunately... one of those thoughts was right.
