Chapter 9: Faithful?
Dear Jess,
You wouldn't believe the kinds of things Scarlet and I have been doing! Shes one of the best friends I could ever ask for! I know it seems one letter a month is little conversation. But remember, there's no place I wouldn't go to find you. I'll be back soon enough, just a few months, hang in there babe. It won't be too long.
-Kick
Dear Kick,
I can wait a while for you. I would follow you to the ends of the earth. I'm happy you guys are having a good time, for Gunther and I life has been moving pretty slow. It's pry not as exciting as what you're doing now. But we can't live without each other. The rain's coming down in sheets here.
-Jess
Kick flipped through channels on the hotel tv, watching scarlet out of the corner of his eye. She was rummaging through her bag, probably for a hairbrush. He put down the remote and sighed heavily, "Scarlet, I miss them." his voice was sorrowful. "the fam?" she wasn't really paying attention. "no....I ment Jess, and Gunther" she dropped her bag "you've got me Kick, don't I matter?" she batted her eyes. He rubbed his neck, a little uncomfortable. "well, yeah....but nobody can replace them. Gunther's my best friend, and I want something more with Jess." he let his voice trail off. "something more?" she sat on the edge of his bed. "well she's not here....." "where are you going with this?" he raised a brow. "I mean," she clawed her way up the bed to hover over Kick. "if she's not here,she won't know." her voice was breathy. He swallowed hard, she was coming on fast, he didn't even like her. Did he? Her emerald eyes were half-lidded as she advanced. His heart ached. He felt like he was betraying Jessica. Her hand touched his, he felt nothing, not like he did with Jess.
He thought back to the first time his hand lingered below her lip, the first time they had physical contact. Also a missed opportunity. He should have kissed her, he wouldn't be in this boat. Some risks are ment to be taken. But he wasn't going to risk his loyalty. He pressed a finger to her lips. "not today." he put on his 100-yard-stare. She was baffled, but crawled off him. "I see.." she paused and thought "I see." she shifted around uncomfortably and played with her fingers. He turned the tv back on and returned to flipping channels. Scarlet quietly crept off his bed and slipped under the sheets of her own.

Remember the songs? Here are some hints, two are by Gary Allan, one is by Billy Currington.

Gunther had emptied the whole bag of food and drinks on to his bed. What do you think he did? That's right, he went to the grocery store and tried to rob it (steal all of the Cheetah Chug). But something went wrong. Gunther didn't know they had a security system. Startled, he dropped the bag and ran out the door. He didn't get very far though.
Police men and their cars were waiting outside of the door.
"You're under arrest!" The cop said.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Gunther screamed.
"Get in the car." The cop said while putting hand cuffs on Gunther.
"I sure hope Kick finds me...." he thought in his mind.
Gunther didn't know this, but Kick saw the whole thing from their hotel window.
"I knew this would happen..." Kick mumbled, angry.
