Now that school was over, the kids all went their separate ways.

Hawk went to karate, Bruce went to the beach, as did Skylar, Anna went for a walk, while Kat went hiking, and Five set out to gather more dirt on his parents and why they were acting so strange.

As Skylar sunbathed, and Bruce surfed, and Anna familiarized herself with the town, Kat got lost in the woods.

"Bloody hell. I knew I should've brought that map." She groans

She pulls out her phone, only to realize that it was useless.

Her parents were at work, and all of her friends were either in London or they were busy, and she doubted the others knew their way through the woods.

She continued walking, hoping she'd find her way back home, but everything seemed to blur together.

Every tree looked the same, even the bushes looked the same. She had no idea where she was or how she got there.

Sighing, she pulled her phone out again, except this time she dialed something, the number of the one person she knew wasn't busy. Five.

"What?"

"I need your help." Kat says

"With?"

"I got lost in the woods, and your the only one not busy right now." She explains

"How am I supposed to help you, if I'm just as new as you are?"

"Do you know how to read a compass?" Kat asks

"You don't?"

"I'm pretty sure if I I wouldn't be lost." Kat says

"All you have to do is find North, after that it's easy." Five explains.

"And then what? It'll lead me home?" She questioned as she pulled up the compass app on her phone.

"No, it should lead you to the road, where I'll be waiting."

"Thanks, Five." Kat says ending the call.

Finding North was easier than she originally thought it would be, and before she knew it she was standing next to the road, and Five was standing across the street, leaning against a car.

"Hey," Kat said, as she approached him.

Five nodded his head at her, "get in. We have things to do."

Kat was confused, but she got in the car anyway, "so, where we going?"

"To figure what the hell my parents are hiding." Five answers

"What makes you think they're hiding anything?" Kat asks

"Things were just getting good in Russia. My dad got that promotion he had been talking about for months, we could finally afford to move into mom's dream home, and then out of no where, we're moving to America." Five rants

"I understand. It does seem weird. Like my parents. My mom was just appointed to COO at her job, and things were just getting good for me at school, her and dad were fixing their relationship, and then we're here." Kat says

"Exactly, there's something strange going on here, and I'm gonna find out what it is." Five says

"We're gonna find out what it is." Kat corrects with a smile

"Yeah, we." Five agrees.
