Zay's POV
Y'all like eating.

I don't know.

Let's just say, Maya bitch slapping Farkle got a LOT of views on YouTube.

Maya is squashed between Charlie's legs as she and Lucas attempt to figure out Riley's latest riddle.

Out of the blue, Farkle stumbles into the room, shaking. His eyes are as wide as Pappy Joe's pancakes, and he looks like he just saw a ghost.

"I just saw Riley," he uttered. Maya instantly leaps out of Charlie's grasp.
"Where?!"
"At the end of the corridor. She was apparently in the room next door."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU GET HER?!?!?!"
"..........."
"Farkle, the whole point of this mission is to find Riley!"
"There were bloody gashes on her arm."

Silence falls in the room.

None of us know what to say.

Riley's POV
It's quite cold where I'm going.

Even in summer.

Maybe the cold will freeze the evil in my head.

And heal the pain in my heart.

Zay's POV
I chuck potato chips into my mouth at the other four fuss over a piece of paper.

Farkle is looking for invisible ink, Maya and Charlie just started pillow-fighting, and Lucas is searching Google.

"It's a word problem," I realise. The other four look at me strangely.

"What's in a basket, but not in a musket? The letters 'A' and 'M.' There's your first clue."

"So we need to listen to One Direction," Maya commented sardonically.

"What do you do in a hurry? You rush...w-which means that Riley is in...." Farkle turns to Maya.

"A movie set!" she yells sarcastically.

"No."

"RUSSIA!!!!"
