                                                                                      Drift POV

I left Loot Lake Island with Bonesy and decided to visit Raptor. I got to Tilted and then to Raptors house. I knocked on the door. No answer. "They must be out..." I sighed and knocked again. I would've waited but Bonesy was getting hungry. I was so busy I forgot about my own hunger. SteelSight fed me and Bonesy on the island, but I was hungry again. I thought about Salty Springs. I had to go back, I missed my friends and my parents. But... Walking to Salty from Tilted might take 12-20 hours. It only takes 2 hours to drive, but I had no car, nor a driver license. (Yet...) But I would have to take a cab there, or walk for 12 hours... And I had no money for a cab, and I wasn't about ready to walk a whole marathon to my house. I sat down on a bench and decided to try and think it out.

                                                                   RustLord POV

       I stared outside my window... It was lightly raining (Sprinkling.) Water filled my eyes. Snorkel Ops, Drift, and Zoey were gone! I heard a knock on my door. "Hello?!" I asked once I got to the door. "Rusty, it's Raven open up!" I opened the door to see Raven standing there, with Zoey! Zoey! Your not dead! She giggled. I hugged both of them when suddenly my phone started to scream at me.

            "Ring!"

                               "RING!"

                                             "RIIIIING!!!!"

       I picked looked at my phone, it was Snorkel's number! I picked it up and held it to my ear. "Snorkie?" I asked quietly. "Rusty! HIIIIIIIIII" It was DEFINITELY Snorkel. I heard her squeal in happiness then she said,

 "Turns out I had my phone in my pocket, can you come pick me up near Tilted? I'm lost, lol." 

                 "Sure Snorkel. See you till then! I'm glad your okay!"

                                                                                   Drift POV 

       I fed Bonesy some of the leftover sandwich I saved from breakfast. I took Bonesy to the park to play. We played tug-o-war and I eventually lost. (On purpose though, because Bonesy was super smol and I would feel too bad to just rip the stick out of his jaws.) I also ran around with him till I felt like I had no bones in either of my legs. 

                                                                              About An Hour Later

       I picked up a free newspaper near the clothing store and decided to sit down on the old benches with gum under the seats like one of the many homeless people living here. "Omega taking over Fortnite Island, Carbide unable to stop him. Will a new hero come, or are we doomed?" I sighed. Someone always showed up for this kinda crap. I decided to leave Tilted, I should probably just start walking home, I mean it's not like i'm just going to magically teleport to Salty or some other stupid way of getting there. I bumped into a man, probably a pickpocket, I wouldn't be surprised, this IS Tilted Towers, "home of the pickpockets and bums". "Sorry young man!" I looked up and immediately was in shock. "JOHN WICK? Um only one of the BEST workers on Carbides team! Uh... It's an honor!" 

"That's me."

        "Wow! I'm screaming inside!"

                  "I wouldn't blame ya kid."

       I smiled, it's an honor to meet you sir! I'm uh... uhmm... uhhh.. Drift! (COUGH right... Drift.  :-I Awkward... ) "You know kid... I'm looking for recruits for the team..." He gave me a card with a couple of numbers on them. "Call me if your interested kid." I DIED INSIDE. "THANK YOU MR. WICK! I'LL DEFINITELY CALL SIR THANK YOU!" Then I remembered... 

"Mr. Wick..."

          "Yes?"

                    "I currently don't have a place to stay... Can I just go with you?" 

                                  "... Sigh Fine."

                                               "Thank you Mr. Wick!"

                                                       "My pleasure..."

       I opened the car door and placed Bonesy in the backseat. I looked outside the window and told John Wick a couple of my jokes. Then about 30 mins in, I realized my mistake. I was supposed to be going home... Not to Carbides mansion... Oops.
