(Wednesday)
Logan: I haven't seen Jack at all this week.
Lili: I thought he was in one of your classes?
Logan: He is, but he hasn't shown up. He knows we're on to him.
Lili: Then how are we going to find him?
Logan: He's watching us. He wants to play the game, but he has to know how.
Lili: We need Vanessa. She knows him the best.
Anna: Good luck. She's a bit...distant ever since she found out Jack's The Infiltrator.
Logan: Well, find her. We have to stay together; he can target any of us separately.
Lili: Uh, we all live in different houses.
Logan: That's something I've thought about. I've got a solution though: sleepovers.
Lili: OK.
Logan: You're looking at me like I'm crazy.
Lili: A little bit, yeah.
Logan: Fine. No sleepovers.
Vanessa: I'm starting to think you've never been to a sleepover.
Logan: Of course I have. I've been to lots of them.
Vanessa: Really? Name the person's house you went to.
Logan: It wasn't really a person's house. Me and a bunch of other POF trainees went on a weekend camping trip.
Vanessa: That doesn't count. You need a real sleepover.
Logan: I guess so.
Vanessa: My house. Saturday. The whole group will be there. It'll be fun.
Logan: If you really think so....
(Saturday)
Logan: Hi.
Vanessa: You're late.
Logan: I was busy.
Vanessa: How many times did you reconsider?
Logan: 34.
Vanessa: Well, we're glad you came.
Lili: Yeah! This is going to be awesome!
(A few hours later)
Lili: And that completes the top 5 movies based on books. Now for the top 5 animated movies.
Logan: Ughh. It's one in the morning. Can't we go to sleep?
Lili: Not yet. The point of a sleepover is to stay up all night.
Logan: Then why is called a sleepover?
Lili: I don't know.
Josh: What was that?
Anna: What was what?
Josh: I thought I heard a branch crack.
Anna: I didn't hear anything.
Josh: Just listen.
Crack!
Logan: I heard it. Wait here.
(A few minutes later)
Logan: There was someone there, but they aren't there now.
Vanessa: There was someone outside my house?!
Logan: Yeah, and he left a note for us.
Sage: Is it from the Infiltrator?
Logan: Yup.
Lili: I'll read it. It says:
You don't want to play my game
So now it has to change
Terrible rhyming skills, if you ask me.
Sage: Just get on with it.
Lili: Fine.
Hidden inside this house
Are clues for you to seek out-
Vanessa: In my house? He was in my house!
Lili:
To lead you to your final prize
Play my game or someone dies
Oh so, now he rhymes.
Anna: You don't think that last part is true.
Logan: I'm afraid so. We refused to play his first game. He had to change it and make us play it.
Sage: This is one sick person.
Vanessa: We have to actually play it now?
Logan: I guess so.
Dylan: Where do we start?
Carter: It's obvious isn't it? We find the clues.
Anna: Just like a scavenger hunt.
Lili: The question is, what are we looking for?
