                             The News
	I thought I was going to go insane. Since Sam and Jake left four hours
ago Zac hadn't stopped palying this racing game on the Playstation. I was sick
of watching him play and wanted to watch television. Most of all I was
curious if our kidnapping had made the news yet.
	"OK, Zac, enough with this game, I want to watch the news for a little
bit."
	"But Ike, the news is boring."
	"You think the news would be boring if we were in it?"
	"Well no, but..."
	"I want to know if we're on the news okay you've had your turn it's my
turn to play.
	"Fine watch your news, I'm going to go snoop around their stuff."
	I fliped through the channels and finally found a news station. You
wouldn't belive how surprised I was when I found that this station was based
in Oklahoma City. We weren't very far from home, which, I guess, is a good
thing.
	"Hey Ike," Zac hollared,"I found a set of keys!"
	"Keys?!"
	"Yes keys, maybe they would open the door."
	"Bring them here."
	Zac trotted over and handed me a key chain with seven keys on it. I
took it from him and began to try the keys. The first didn't work, the second
and third were clearly keys to the Buick. When I tried the fourth key it slid
smoothly into the lock. I twisted it to the right and the heavy door popped
open.
	"We're free!!!" Zac shouted with glee.
	"Not so fast. How are we going to get away, i'm sure we won't make it
on foot. Besides we can use their car if we wait till they come home and
sneak out wwhile they're asleep.
	"Besides we have t wait for Tay."
	"Yeah, good point. Uh oh, I hear some thing. Okay I'm hiding the keys
in this box for the nintendo, what ever you do don't open it." I instructed Zac.
	"DUH squared! Come on let's act normal."
	"Zac I'm not sure if you could act normal evn if you tried."
	"Hey..." he started but he was interrupted by the door opening. When
Sam and Jake came back in they were accompanied by Taylor and Callie too.
	"Just for a nice surprise we brought your cute sister along two." Sam
sneered.
	I never really noticed the resemblance, but callie did have the siganture
blond hair and I could see how they mistook her for a sibling. Callie looked
terrified, tears hinting behind her pale icey blue eyes. Taylor just looked
rather exasperated.
	"We're going to go pick up our instrument from storage. While we're
gone you can have alittle family reunion."
	The large metal door slammed and Callie sulemly ploped down on the
couch.
	"Now what," she sobbed."We're stuck and they think I'm your sister."
	Callie, calm down," I explained. "Zac and I found a way to get back
home."
	"huh, how" taylor asked.
	"We found a set of keys thatc opens the door and runs the car. We'll
leave when they're asleep and use their car to get back home. I just found out
that we're in Oklahoma City."
	"That close to home?"
	"Yeah it's surprising, isn't it? Zac and I are going to go sleep, we'll let
the two of you recooperate."
