The gang exited the theater once the movie finished, blending in with the crowd. Steve held on to Olivia's hand, noticing how anxious and jittery she was. She kept glancing behind them to make sure that they weren't being followed.

            "Well shit, that worked," Erica sighed in relief, but was also clearly impressed by Dustin.

            "Of course it worked," Dustin grinned proudly. "Now we just have to get on the bus with the rest of these plebes, and home sweet home, here we come."

            Olivia sighed dreamily at the the thought of finally going home. "We're going home, Dusty!" She smiled widely.

            "Uh, Liv, Dustin?" Steve stammered.

            "What?" The siblings chorused innocently, not noticing the concern in his voice.

            "Yeah, we might not want to go to your house," Steve mumbled.

            "Why?"

            "Well, I might of told them your full name," Steve admitted sheepishly.

            Olivia and Dustin both look up at him. "What is wrong with you?" They chorused.

            "I was drugged!" Steve defended himself.

            "Steve!" Olivia swatted her small fists on his shoulder. "My mom is there!" An inkling feeling fell over her, and she said a silent prayer in her head, hoping that her mom was safe.

            "I'm sorry!" Steve apologized with panic in his eyes.

            "You were supposed to resist! Tough it out! Tough it out like a man," Dustin scolded.

            "Oh yeah, it's easy for you to say," Steve retorted sarcastically.

            "Guys," Robin stopped them, catching everyone's attention. Olivia stopped in her tracks. Just a few feet ahead of them was a Russian guard in disguise, blending in with the crowd. Steve grasped Olivia's hand tighter.

            "Abort!" Dustin whispered. "Abort! Abort!"

            They turned on their heels and swiveled around in the other direction to the escalators. Olivia's heart raced as they slid down it. They all scurried behind one of the counters at the food court and hid behind it. The light from the neon blue StarCourt sign was cascading down on their faces. Olivia sat in between Dustin and Steve. As she heard the sound of footsteps inching closer, she closed her eyes out of worry that this possibly might be the last moment of her life. "I love you Dusty," She whispered to her brother as tears start glistening in her eyes.
