Rowan and Micheal were walking to music when Rowan saw a clock being wrong again. He ran up and ripped it off the wall. The gears weren't moving. The hands were and now the numbers were back to normal.
"Micheal!" Rowan shouted.
He came over and saw as well that the hands were moving and the gears were not.

He placed the clock on the floor and got a pen from his bag. He was gonna stab the clock, but it had gone. Rolled away maybe. But it wasn't on the floor or in the hall.
"Where's the clock?" Rowan said. "DUDE! Where's the clock!"

Now it was too weird. Rowan started rambling about clocks and gears after they found Piper and Kate.
"Guy! Slow down." Micheal said.
"You're saying psycho we need to see gears then?" Piper said.
"Yes. Gears." Rowan said. "If we can pin a clock down."
"Nutbag." Piper said.
"The clock work is the wrong part." Rowan rambled.
"The numbers are wrong as well." Micheal added. "The hands and gears don't match."
"So, we'll what?" Kate asked. "Pin a clock down."
"Or." Piper said.
"Or?" Rowan asked. Piper went on,
"We find a big clock."
"Dirty." Rowan laughed. "What?"
"A big clock?" Kate asked.
"The clock tower."

The schools clock tower. It was a large structure on top of the library. It was big enough for them all to stand in but Kate stayed on the ground. She said she'd watch the clock face from below to see when it moves, but really she was just scared.

Rowan stole the key from a science teacher because she'd leave her class for ten minutes at a time because she was a shit teacher. Sorry I shouldn't swear. But they snuck into the tower.

Rowan started feeling the gears. They weren't moving.
Kate counted down the seconds until a the minute passed over the phone. The hands moved yet the gears stayed still.

"It's the gears! I told you!" Rowan shouted.
"The gears are fine dude." Micheal said, "It's the hands that are moving on their own."
Rowan didn't get that. He kicked a gear. It kicked him back.
"What the fuck!" He shouted.

"WHO'S THERE!?" A voice echoed across the roof. It was Officer Egg!!!!!!!!!!
