Chapter 5
It was dark and silent in the room. You could hear people in other rooms screaming.
Then a guy with a flashlight came in and said, "Everyone, don't worry. The storm probably just knocked out some power lines. The back-up generator should kick in any minute now. Until then just sit tight and whatever you do don't die or get hurt!!!" Then he left.
"When did he say the lights would come on again?" Nick asked in confusion.
"He said any minute now," Howie said in reply. "You have to listen to these things you know!"
The lights turned back on.
"Hey, where did A.J. go now?" Kevin asked, starting to get annoyed that everyone was disappearing.
"He was complaining that he was thirsty earlier. Maybe he jsut went to try to find a drinking fountain," Howie said trying to find a logical explainaton for A.J.'s disapearence.
Then Johnny and Donna rushed in. [AN: Yeah, I know this story is a little out dated, but I needed some more charactors]
Donna said, "Is everyone alright?"
"Yeah. We don't know where Brian or A.J. are but other than that, everyone's fine," Howie said.
Johnny said, " Do you have any clue where Brian or A.J. might be?"
"Well, we think that Brian is flirting and A.J.'s drinking, but we're not sure," Nick said.
Drinking???" Donna askes, questioning Nick's analisis.
"What he means," Howie said specifying to what Nick had said, "is that we think A.J. went to go find a drinking fountain or something."
Then Johnny said, "Why don't you two go see if you can find those two. We have some stuff we have to talk over with Kevin here."
"O.K. I need to get some excercise anyway," Howie said. Then Nick and Howie left.
