CHAPTER FOUR

Finney thinks it was about 2:30-2:40 in the morning when he heard someone get up from their bed. Finney had woken up around 5 minutes ago but didn't move from his bed. So when he heard someone get up from their bed he closed his eyes. He doesn't know why he did it. I mean he was staying with Griffin and Bruce; two of his best friends. He heard the person whisper something but couldn't make out what it was. Finney wanted to know what the person was talking about so he kept on pretending he was asleep. After what Finney would say a minute or two he heard knocking on the door. Finney heard the door open and barely heard a man, "Awh crap!" Finney didn't recognize this voice. He knows it wasn't Robin's voice so maybe it was another worker? "Who the hell are you? Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the fucking night?" Finney heard Griffin say. He should've known Griffin was the one awake. Finney knows Griffin has trouble sleeping at night so it should've been no surprise that he was awake. Finney then heard the door close and muffled talking outside of the door. Finney sat up in his bed, "Why did he get up from his bed in the first place?" Finney mumbled.

As Finney was thinking, he heard shuffling next to him, "What the hell? Bruce you're awake too?" Finney asked as he saw Bruce sit up in his bed. He couldn't see very well but he made out of the movement of a slight head nod, " I woke up because I heard the door open," Bruce answered, "Why did Griffin go outside anyway?" he questioned. "I'm not sure. I heard knocking before Griffin opened the door and then I heard a mans voice." Finney said. Bruce made a small hum sound. Bruce was about to ask another question before they heard a faint, "I have to go inside now." and not so long after that the door opening. Finney and Bruce quickly laid back down in bed and started to pretend to be asleep. Not long after they heard Griffin tell the man "Nice talk." before closing the door.

Bruce and Finney heard Griffin exhale when he walked in, "What was wrong with me? I had no reason to be nervous." Bruce heard Griffin mumble. Bruce and Finney heard Griffin walk over to the suitcases and either close or open his suitcase. The boys came to the conclusion that he closed it because they soon heard footsteps back over to his bed. They heard Griffin crawl into his bed and some mumbling coming from him. Although, neither of the boys could make out what Griffin was saying. After a while Bruce and Finney fell back asleep.

As for Griffin, he was on his phone for a while before falling asleep.

IN THE MORNING

When Griffin woke up he was met with a bright light coming from the window, "Whoever opened the fucking window better close it." He said but his voice came out sounding a bit quite. Griffin moved around his bed to avoid the light and even put the blanket over his head but no matter what he did the light was still shining through. At last, he finally gave up and sat near the edge of his bed while rubbing his eyes. "Morning Griff." Finney said. Once Griffin let his hands fall from his eyes his vision went black then to slightly blurry. He closed his eyes and shook his head. Once he opened his eyes again he had saw Finney getting up from the bed and going to the bathroom as Bruce came out of the bathroom. "Morning Griffin! We're gonna get breakfast if you wanna come with us." Bruce said as he went over to his suitcase to grab a pair of shoes. The words took a minute to process in Griffin's head, "Oh yeah, I'll go with you." He said as he got up from his bed and headed to his suitcase. "What look are we going for?" Griffin asked.
