We are all in Danger

May 5th 2014

Riker

                “DID HE JUST SAY WHAT I THINK HE SAID?” Ross once again started shouting out of the blue this time making us all jump. “Yup I am pretty sure he did.” Rocky replied. Our Dad’s went to college together? I called him to speak to a girl I think you know? Was I making something out of nothing or were they secretly talking about Rydel? Ellington clearly thought the same thing as he literally said what my mind was thinking. “You don’t suppose he is referring to Rydel do you?” “Yes I do Ellington. I am pretty sure this is what that text message was all about.” Had Ryland figured out what had happened to Rydel? It was time to do something about this. Rocky obviously agreed with me because he stood up and went right to the phone. “That’s it. I am calling him and he is going to explain what that was all about!”

                 I ran up to him and grabbed the phone out of his hand. “I’m sorry but did you forget about the deal that YOU made? Would calling him not break that agreement?” Rocky swiped the phone back from me giving me a “are you kidding me” kind of look. “Riker that deal was made to help him on his mission. Not once did I agree to not calling him and demanding him to tell us what he was doing on TV. This needs to be discussed with everyone and now!” I couldn’t help but smile at Rocky. “Good to have you back bro.” Rocky shoved me as he dialed Ryland’s number. Everyone sat down on a bed and Rocky placed the phone in between us all on speaker phone. When we heard the phone start dialing there was an instant silence in all of us.

                “Hello?” Ryland answered in a tone I was not expecting. He didn’t sound angry or happy at all. He sounded worried...“Ryland!” Everyone shouted at once. I looked around at the group letting them all know that I wanted the first chance to speak and started again. “Hi guys, I guess you saw the Radio Disney interview huh.” Yeah he definitely did not sound good. “Ryland its Riker, yes we saw you on TV but what we are more concerned with right now is what you were talking about and why you are even in LA. You never told me you were going there you know. Were you referring to Rydel while talking to Sabrina?” Ellington nudged my shoulder giving me a signal to wait and slow down. Right, if I wanted answers I need to let him answer.

                “Riker, I am in LA. Sorry I didn’t tell you. Sabrina was an accident. I never actually intended on confronting her on TV but I got ahead of myself. What you saw and thought are correct. I was talking about Rydel, but I have some bad news for you. Things did not go my way.” Well I was officially lost. Looking around the bed I could see that the others were just as confused as I was. “Ryland its Ross now, what didn’t go your way? You seemed so sure of whatever you were saying during that interview.” We heard Ryland sigh before answering Ross. “Hey bud, yeah I was sure of nothing apparently. Look it turns out that confronting Sabrina the way I did is not going to help me. She doesn’t know what I thought she did and I may have just got myself into some serious danger.”

                DANGER! Oh he did not just say danger! “Ryland I told you to be careful! What danger are you talking about? Also, why are the police following us? Are we in danger here?” Ross, Ellington, and Rocky all shot me quick glares. Oh right, I hadn’t told them about that yet. “Riker, why is that when people tell you to stop meddling you never do? I don’t know how you found out about the police so quickly but yes, you are in danger. Yes all of you are being followed by the police. I tried to be careful Riker but I let my emotions get the better of me. I am 17 after all. Now, if you are done with this pointless phone conversation. Why don’t you guys fly out to L.A. and I will come clean about what I know. I would come back, except I now have someone else that I need to protect. I will fill you in when you get here. I am staying at a private house being rented by the NYPD. I'll fax you the address before you leave.” Then our call was over. For the hundredth time, we all looked up from the phone gazing around the group. “Well,” Rocky said, “Looks like we need to get ourselves on a plane to L.A.”
