Cuddle Valley High: Role Play

Katherine handed the jacket over to Derek, "You always seem to surprise me"

She was about to take another sip of her ice tea When something on a little tv on the corner caught her attention,

"I tried to save her life but the guy kicked me, and he took her hostage!"

SEth was on tv next to a tv reporter, "Thats horrible news, If you spot Katherine SAnders, (her yearbook picture came out on the screen) , please contact the police immediately. She will be with this boy, who is presumably the kidnapper (Dereks yearbook picture came on to the screen). (The tv reporter was back on with Katherines parents, who were crying madly) "Mr.Sanders how do you feel about your daughters kidnapp""I am so scared, Miss, but the police are looking for her nationwide, so i have dfaith that we will find my princess"

KAtherine was stunned and shook her head, "Derek! what are we going to do!?"

Derek clapped a hand over her mouth. "Quiet. Listen... We're the only ones in here, other than the people who work here, who're all in the kitchen. I doubt they can hear the tv from in there. Just stay there and act normal." Derek walked over to a window looking into the kitchen.
"Excuse me sir, can you make that to go?" The cook nodded and put the food in a couple of cardboard boxes. Derek took it, walked back to the table.
"We can eat on the bus. If anybody asks us anything, follow my lead. Don't do anything stupid." He handed her the food, took the jacket, and found the waitress.
"Somebody left this here," he told her. She took it and hung it up inside the kitchen.
"Let's go."

KAtherine followed him into the bus her face was full of concern, "oh god Derek this can't be happening!" she said in a whisper. She looked out the window and saw that two police men were talking to the bus driver just outside the diner.

"Relax. It'll be fine." Derek said nothing else. The bus driver pointed to him. The cops came inside and approached them.
"Son, what's your name?"
"Joe Newman."
"You wouldn't happen to know this girl, would you?" One of them held up a picture of Katherine. She looked very different, unrecognisable except to someone who knew her, in the picture and right now.
"Never seen her in my life."
"Who's this?" The police officer pointed to Kat.
"This is my cousin Claire. She lives here, and we decided to go on a little trip together."
"I see. Where you from, son?"
"Olympia."
"Well, thank you for your time." The cops turned and left.

KAtherine started to breathe again, she looked out the window and saw they were leaving, "thats good thats really good!"
She settled on her seat once again, so how long till we get to eugene?"

"Couple hours," Derek said, opening his box of food and starting to eat, "and remember, nothing happened. Understand? Anybody asks you who you are, you're Claire Newman, and you're my cousin."

"got it!" KAtherine took her box and opened it, she took a big bite out of her chili burger, once she swallowed she said," You know you could've giben me a better name, CLaire!?, Why not, Xena or Athena, But Claire geez JOE!" She took another bite of her burger,"and another thing if we are going to have fake identities i dont want to be 14 i want to be 17 like you"

"Quiet, we don't want to attract attention. I picked boring names on purpose. And no offense, but you don't look 17. You don't even look 15."

((let's just skip ahead... again...))

((ok then , we already got to Eugene and we are getting of the bus?))

((yep))

Derek got off the bus and found himself in a place he had not been for a long, long time. It was exactly as he had remembered it, only it didn't seem quite so big. He had been only 9 when he had left. And from this very same place...
It was raining lightly, but it didn't seem to be affecting anybody. There were people outside, walking, riding bicycles, standing around not doing much of anything, just as if it was a sunny day.

Katherine ran to his side, "looks like a nice place" she looked at her watch and saw it was 6:30 pm. "Hey Derek we better find a place to stay"

((edit that last post of mine he left when he was 13 or 14))

"Skinner's mudhole," Derek said to himself, looking up at the sky. He found a payphone outside, called a taxi, and told him to drive to the "Crest Villa" apartments. He had an old friend who lived there.

"Ah a friend of yours, Im excited to meet him!" she noticed that the driver kept staring at them through the rear view mirror. She started to feel uncomfortable, "uh dere--"

"Arent you that er girl, that was er kidnapped, yer lookin' mighty different, i tell you what"

"What girl?"

"what you say, boy, eh, it dont matter anyway, well here is the place,is going to be 8.56 I tell ya what".

Katherine took out a 10 dollar bill and gave it to him. "Here keep the change". Katherine got out of the taxi and looked at the apartments.

Derek got out of the car and started to cross the wet parking lot. There were some big cement letters set up in the garden that apparently had once said "Crest Villa", but somebody had stolen the "C", "V", and "A", so it said "rest ill".
He walked up the stairs and down the walkway until he came to a door labeled "Apt 253". He rang the doorbell.
A guy about Derek's age answered. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a lot of piercings. For a moment he just stared sullenly. Then he smiled and broke out into laughter. "Damn you Derek, what've you been doing all this time?"
"Uh... Taking friends to the hospital, trying to kill myself, getting guns pointed at my face, kicking people in the head... Listen though... I was wondering if I could stay here tonight?"

"Uh hello me too!?" Katherine popped in to the picture and smiled.

"Who the hell is that?"
"This is Katherine... Long story."
"Uh... Sure. Come on in. I'm Kevin, by the way."
Derek followed Kevin inside his apartment. His roommate was inside watching King of the Hill.

Katherine walked in, "hey..Oh cool King of the hill, props to Bobby he is a cool guy, WEll um , I'll leave you two to talk". She walked over to the couch and sat next to kevins roommate.

Kevin and Derek walked into another room. "What the hell do you think you're doing here? You're a wanted criminal, for god's sake! Do you even know that?"
"Of course I know.. I didn't do anything wrong, that guy was going to shoot her and I saved her life."
"I didn't think you did, but just the same, if the cops come here they're going to think I was involved in it too."
"Look, just for one night, then I'll find a hotel. I don't have anywhere else to go."
Kevin thought for a moment.
"Ok, fine, you can stay tonight. But I want you out first thing in the morning, understand?"
"Got it. Thanks."
Derek went back into the TV room and sat down on the couch.
