Jon gave a soft sigh, looking around.
"Hey, where's Ranger?" He chirped. Matt looked over at the couch where Ringo was asleep, blinking.
"I'm not sure, actually-" He pulled his arms away from Jon, standing.
"You stay here, I'll go look for him. He's probably just exploring." Jon nodded, turning his attention back to the tv.
. . .
Tord parted the blinds beside his closet, revealing not a window, but a whiteboard.
"Tord what the hell-?" Tom tilted his head in utter confusion, blinking. Tord tossed a marker at Tom, hitting him in the chest.
"Shut up, you don't know about half the stuff in this house." Tom opened his mouth to shoot back a retort but decided against it, knowing that Edd wouldn't be busy forever. Tord quickly drew the road and house, including Eduardo's house as well.
"So look, if we can manage to keep him here-" he drew a red X on the board. "We'll have enough time to get into Matt's room before they realize. From there, we do what we need to do and-"
"What about Edd?" Tom piped in.
"That's where you come in. You're gonna hide all of Edd's cola in your room and-" Tom cut him off with a laugh.
"All that cola isn't going to fit in my room. Hell, it won't fit anywhere unless you have an underground bunker or some shit." Tord blinked, giving a slightly nervous glance before a small smirk appeared on his face.
"Fine, leave the cola to me then. You convince Matt and Jon to go over here-" he circled the X, "and we'll be all set. Once you have them in place, come back and meet me at Matt's room."
. . .
Matt hummed softly to himself, walking down the hall in search of Ranger.
"Are you sure that'll even work? I mean, you know how Edd is." Tom said, crossing his legs. Matt froze at the sound of Tom's voice.
"Is he in... Tord's room?" he mumbled to himself, stepping closer to the door. Tom had left the door slightly cracked when he had entered, leaving enough room for Matt to successfully peek into the room. He watched as Tord and Tom plotted.
"Of course it will, you doubt my abilities?" Tord barked, crossing his arms.
"Of course I do, commie. When have I ever been faithful in your so-called 'abilities'?" Tom chuckled.
"Fine, we can go back to the second plan of pouring your Smirnoff over the house and lighting it on fire."
"No!" Tom sat up quickly, his eyes wide.
"Exactly. Now stop being so argumentative. We'll get Jon out of this house one way or another..." He smirked. Matt stifled a gasp, leaning slightly closer as Tord turned around to scribble something on the board. Tord's door creaked slightly, causing the three of them to all freeze.
"Someone's here." Tord said quickly, looking over at the door. Matt swiftly ducked out of sight, darting into Tom's room, seeing as it was the closest.
"Probably just Ringo or that rat Matt brought home." Tom scoffed, taking a sip of his Smirnoff.
"No... I would know if it was them." Tord slowly walked over to the door, opening it quickly. He looked around, glancing over at the couch where Jon was still sitting. He gave a soft hum of thought, glancing at Edd's room. The door was still closed, as it had been the last few hours. Tord watched as Ringo made her way down the hallway, walking into Matt's room and curling up on the bed next to Ranger.
"Are you done leaning out of your room like a creep or...?" Tom gave him a look. Tord flipped him off, not bothering to turn around. He slowly looked into Tom's room, where Matt was reading a random book he found on the ground.
"Matt what are you doing in Tom's room?"
"Matt's where now?!" Tom got up quickly, darting into his room and standing beside Tord.
(A/N: HOLY HECK, I'M SORRY FOR BEING GONE SO LONG- I'm gonna try and be a little more frequent with this- maybe at some point I can set a day where I'll upload a new chapter each week or something. Hhh I'm sorry- 699 Words)
