Jay Walker took in a deep breath, calming his nerves which seemed to be dancing with the electricity surging through his veins. He looked up to see the squeaky clean name plate that was displayed on the right side of the wrought iron gates.

The metal on which the writing was engraved was so severely cleaned that despite the bold, black lettering, Jay could clearly see his nervous face gazing back at him, silently screaming that this was a bad idea. Taking advantage of the "mirror", he quickly made sure that his auburn hair were in order and that his blue jacket and jeans had no stains on them.

Sure he was raised in a junkyard but that didn't mean he didn't know how to clean up properly. Jay smiled guiltily for he knew that most of that was Nya's teachings. Plus, he did his best to look good whenever he would take her on a date.

He wished he had some deodorant on him right now because his nervousness was making him sweat like crazy. There was no way he was going to meet his all-time favourite movie star - wait . . . scratch that - his father with sweat stains on his armpits. How embarrassing would that be?

Jay leaned against the cream-coloured wall that surrounded Cliff Gordon's villa, wanting to run far away from there as possible. His mind was spammed with swirling thoughts, voices playing inside his head.

Are you crazy?! What are you thinking?

Turn away right now before disappointment makes a meal out of you.

There is a reason he left you! Otherwise you wouldn't be standing here like this.

Three words: He. Hates. You.
Get a clue!

He was so wound up in these terrifying thoughts that he didn't notice the device buzzing and vibrating in his pocket. He sighed as he fished out his BorgPhone from his jeans pocket and read the message.

Jay thought about lying and typing that he had lost the way to the house but decided against it. His teammates were ninjas meaning they could find out the real cause in a jiffy: Jay was scared and about to pee his pants. Even though he didn't want to meet his favourite movie star/father with a pee stain on the front of his pants either, he was compelled to say the truth.

Yup. But I'm not getting a good feeling from this. Can't I just leave?
