The four were now leaving the drive in, they grabbed their bikes from the rack and decided to walk them out, not wanting to ride on the rock trail that lead into the place. It was now 9:30pm, Gwen and Finney loved the movie and couldn't stop talking about it with Robin, and Jaeden was so tired he couldn't even think straight.

The cars were obviously and easily going faster than the group of four who were walking their bikes to the entrance, the headlights of each car basically leading their way. You could hear the ending credits music still playing, the credits still rolling on screen as everyone had left, someone a part of the staff was probably walking to the station now to turn it off anyways.

As they reached the exit, mounting their bikes and checking all directions to go, right fucking behind them was that van. The same exact van with the dark green lettering on the side and almost black tinted windows you couldn't see into. Jaeden, now silently freaking out as he looks forward again, pushing off as the others follow starts to breathe heavily.

Robin, Finney and Gwen quickly catch up to Jaeden, seeing his panicked expression.

"Hermoso? Are you okay? What's wrong?" Robin asks

"That van. That's four within a three day span!" Jaeden almost yells, looking back to see the van behind them, "Fucking haul ass, idiots!"

Jaeden speeds up, the other three following after as they looked back, knowing about the numerous story telling about this van from Jaeden. Gwen constantly kept looking back, looking to attach a face to this vehicle but couldn't. Finney and Robin didn't turn around more than once, Jaeden still trailing ahead of them in fear.

The van picks up the pace, literally following the kids as they tried turning corners and running through alleyways, but that van was on their tail. Gwen, mortified tried screaming for help to anyone who could hear or help, in a state of panic and not able to even think with the adrenaline running through her veins. Finney was also yelling for help, knowing the driver knew the situation they were all in.

The four had never peddled so hard and fast before, but they knew they couldn't match the person driving the van. They were a quarter mile from Robin's apartment, so if they kept the current pace and didn't stop they should be okay. The apartment was in view, the same balcony shining towards Jaeden, the same place he always dangled his legs off of and watched storms or sunrises and sunsets.

They all needed the comfort of somewhere safe, somewhere this person couldn't find them. Or even get to them if someone saw four frantic kids running down the hall screaming that someone was trying to kidnap them.

Robin would've fought the person off but, obviously, he couldn't now, he didn't even know what the person looked like.

Street lamps illuminate their path, up the small incline, onto the sidewalk. They were almost inside. They'd still have to run to room B12 and slam the door shut and lock it, even if the kidnapper would follow them inside.

The four jump off their bikes, quickly shoving them in the bike rack and running inside, up multiple flights of stairs and their shoes clanging on the metal staircases. Gwen kept looking back, making sure no one was behind her brother as they sped up those stairs. Through one of the windows that illuminated the stairwell, they could see the black van outside, just sitting there when Robin and Jaeden saw it the past day.

Once they barged through the door, Ms. Arellano in the living room in front of them, they lock the door, and Ms. Arellano springs from her seat. She asks what was wrong, in which the group were just racing back for fun, saying they were going to have a sleepover. Ms. Arellano was fine with it, heading to her room, tired anyways.

The group stumble into Robin's room, deciding to talk about the situation they got themselves into.

"Fuck! We are so fucked" Gwen speaks

"What just happened?" Finney asks, unable to even believe what just happened

"We almost got kidnapped is what just happened, dumbass"
