An Unfortunate Turn For The Better

Chapter 11

Scott's pov

We put on our harnesses and got strapped up to the course and we could go anytime we felt like it. I looked up at the tall structure. This should be interesting. I'm surprised that Mitch was down to do this, I know he's afraid of heights. I look back at him and he smiled, it was a very fake smile, I could tell. He looked worried. "Don't worry, we are strapped on, we won't fall." He nodded his head and I held out my hand to him, he took it. I started walking forward, off the first platform. It was just a rope ladder, easy...right?

"See Mitch, that was pretty fun wasn't it?" We had just finished up the course, it was like a lot harder than I thought I would be.

"I guess so."

"C'mon I know you had fun. Don't lie."

"Okay yeah sure. It was like really hard though. Too much excersize in my opinion."

We were now aimlessly walking around the mall, I'm not too sure why. We walked past store after store before we decided to get some frozen yogurt then we would leave. We pay for our yogurt then sit at a table in the food court. "What do you wanna do when we get back to the apartment?" I ask Mitch.

"I don't know. Maybe pack a bit more then watch a movie?"

"Sounds perfect."

The next 20 minutes we spent eating and talking about stupid, pointless things. We threw out our containers and left the building. We jumped in my car and I started driving, it was a short drive so not a lot happened. Of course we sang (screamed) the words to whatever came on the radio until we got back.

We walked back to the apartment door and it was unlocked. Mitch and I looked at each other, I pushed him to the side and peeked inside. There was a crowd of like 5 guys in uniforms. I opened the door but signalled Mitch to stay outside just incase. "Hello?"

The 5 guys turned around and looked at me like I was an alien. "Can we help you?"

"Uhm I was about to ask the same thing..."

"I'm sorry, who are you?"

"My friend lives here. Who are you?"

"We are moving guys. You know? To help your friend with his stuff?"

"One second." I stepped out into the hallways and walked over to Mitch who was hiding around the corner. "Hey did you hire some guys to help you move your stuff to my place?"

He just stared at me. "No. I thought you would help me."

"Who the hell got - oh."

"What? Is everything okay Scott?"

"Yeah I uhh just think Travis might be in there with those guys."

The colour drained from Mitch's face. "Seriously?"
