I step out of the zoo gates and stretch my arms high. swinging the rental car keys around my finger, i clicked the button to unlock it. Nothing. i didn't hear a sound.

Opening my eyes i panicked. The car wasn't here.

" hurry up! we are going to be late-wait wasn't the car right here?" Joab asks and i simply nod wondering what i was supposed to do.

"now what?" Joab asks and i comb my brain for what to do next.

"Well you call a cab, tell him to pick us up a few blocks away so he doesn't know where we live. i will take a look around and see if i can find something." I order joab and he nods pulling out his phone.

I walked over to where i parked the car and look around for anything. Footprints, trash, or anything else that would help me catch the person who stole our car.

A piece of paper was taped to the ground. Dirt covers the words. I bend over and pull the paper off the ground. Dusting off the dirt i read the words aloud.

"Check inside the gates." I read and joab looks at me, his phone pressed to his ear. Joab ends the call and we both walk back inside. After looking around for a solid 5 minutes I gave up.

"It's a trick. let's go look for something else." I snap and walked back towards the large gates.

"Wait look!" Joab says pointing towards a patch of bushes. I look closer and sport a small piece of black metal showing. I inched closer and turned around the bush coming face to face with 2 motorcycles. One of black color and the other one of a grey theme.

I ran my hand over the seat of the black bike. A yellow sticky note was stuck on the gas tank.

" aren't we supposed to be discrete? Undercover?" Joab asks clearly confused.

"I ain't complaining," I said and revved up the bike.

"That would be the first," Joab mumbled but I heard him. I shrugged him off and pulled on my helmet I secured my leather backpack on my back. We rolled the bikes out of the zoo locking the gates behind us. With a simple nod, we sped off toward the school.
