At that moment, Lily wakes up with a thrill of excitement.
"Hey Dawn, they are almost here," whispers Lily.
"Who is almost here? Is my pet spider almost here?"
"No, Sullivan and Jake are almost here."
"Oh, that makes more sense. I don't actually have a pet spider by the way."
"Yes, it does make more sense. I'm glad you don't have a pet spider. HEY OLIVIA, WE ARE DONE WITH OUR FOOD AND DONE WITH OUR NAP!!!"
"COMING!!!"
Olivia comes down the stairs and picks up the food.
"Hey, Sullivan and Jake are almost here."
"Are you serious?"
"Oh, I'm serious. They're almost here."
"What should I do?"
"Keep this door open a crack, please."
"On it!"
She starts going upstairs smiling.
"Wait, wipe the smile off your face."
"Got it!"
She finishes going up the stairs.
"Hello, Malachi. We have company," Olivia says.
"What do you mean we have company?" Malachi inquired Olivia.
"I mean somebody has found where we are."
"I didn't hear a doorbell go off or someone knocking on the door."
"Yes, but the doorbell is about to go off in 3....2....1....now."
Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong
"Who is it?"
Behind the door, Sullivan is saying, "I didn't think about what to say if he asked who is it. Shit!" Then he remembered something that happened before Lily got kidnapped. He remembered himself sitting in Algebra II, and then all of a sudden, a voice comes on in the room from his head, saying something about chocolate.
He thinks to Lily, "Please pick this message up. Whatever you did the day I was in Algebra II, do that again, but this time say, "I am here to sell girl scout cookies."
Malachi asks again, "Who is it?"
All of a sudden, there is a booming voice from Sullivan's head saying, "I am a girl scout. I'm just here to sell girl scout cookies. Do you want thin mints? Those are my favorite, honestly. The coconut ones are good as well."
"How could your voice go so high there?" asks Jake, astonished.
"That was Lily's voice, not mine. I just had to pretend in case Malachi was watching."
The door opens, and Flip and Zoe attack Malachi. Sullivan and Jake call the dogs off the attack. The dogs stopped reluctantly and were still growling.
"Yo, where is my crush?" asks Jake.
"Yo? Seriously? Where are our crushes? Tell us, and we won't set our dogs on you again. If you don't tell us, you should be warned, my dog is very weird. That is all I'm going to say on that because if I explain, I might barf," says Sullivan.
"I'm so scared. Nobody has ever found me. How did you guys do it?" replies Malachi
"I don't have time to explain this to you."
"I've only known you a little while, but I've never seen you quite this angry. We have plenty of time to explain this." Sullivan says.
Sullivan explains their journey to his house. Malachi seems to be very interested in the story. Lily and Dawn sneak up the stairs and see their crushes deep in conversation with Malachi. Everytime Sullivan spoke, Dawn slips over to Jake's side. The same thing happens when Jake speaks but this time Lily creeps over to Sullivan's side.
"I guess you chose to let the girls go. Smart idea. Very smart."
Olivia's sister, the waitress, comes bounding in.
"I can't believe I am back. Finish your story, Sullivan."
"Sophia? What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to save you."
Sullivan and Jake start telling the story where they left off. Again, Malachi was too preoccupied with the story to notice Olivia slithering over to her sister. Sullivan finished the story and left. The cops arrive as Sullivan, Lily, Jake, Dawn, Olivia, and Sophia are leaving. The cops arrest Malachi and later Noah. They start heading home.
