Zoey nodded,  "Sounds like a plan then.  All right, so when we're done here we'll split up and do our thing.  Ill talk to Jeremy and you two do the witchy stuff, and we'll meet up later?"

"Hmmm speaking of that maybe I should buy a pointy hat." She teased Zoey and Susan.

"Hurry up you two." She said to Sam and Hal.

"Maybe EXP means experience points like from that game we were all in, do you think Rory is in that game again ?"

"It would look good on you, that's for sure."  Zoey smiled teasingly at Allura.

She thought about the game and shrugged, "It's possible, but I think unlikely.  I'll check it out though.  Hey, an idea on the EXP thing.  Look in a dictionary while you're in the library, see what words start with that and maybe something'll pop out at you."

Susan smiled tentatively, but wasn't in the mood for jokes.
"Maybe he meant the man was 'an expert' in something?   Like that alien hive he mentioned."

She shuddered, remembering her and Rory's last conversation.  About aliens.
Moving quickly, she headed to the library, though she might have to go home for this as well.

Experience points.  Expert. Exp on.  What did Rory mean?  Zoey nodded absently,  "Expert on aliens sounds reasonable I think.  With everything else in our lives, why not?" 

As she thought about the message more, Zoey looked worried suddenly.  "What if he meant experimented on?"

"Then we look for a guy with antenna's and bug eyes.  Shouldn't be too hard to spot even in this town. When I find Rory I think I will spank him and say no more short hand texting."

Zoey laughed picturing a man as Allura described. "Do you think we should warn Hal about Arkham?  You know, about the weird stuff that goes on around here."

She looked back at Hal working on the car, "Hey, how much longer?"

Hal puts his hand on Zoey's shoulder, "What weird stuff, oh and done." He smiles wide.

Zoey jumped, surprised by Hal suddenly.  She blushed and laughed  "Great then we should leave 'the scene of the crime'.  Come on."

Zoey turned to Sam, "Hey we're ready to get out of here.  I need to run to the game club real quick."  Turning back to Hal, "Oh you know.  Every town has their fair share of weird stuff, Arkham has an over abundance of it, it seems.  Just uh, be careful.  Trust your gut."

Hal, "Mind if I come with ?"

Sam, "I am going to head inside though to be honest I hope I get to see what happens when he starts his car.

"Sure Hal, come on.  Sam, I need to talk to you too when we get a chance."

"I will go with you two, keep you pranksters out of trouble." Allura smirks.

Zoey gives Sam a kiss before heading to the game club with Allura and Hal.

Sam smiles, "Anything for you my little water angel."

The other three head inside off to the game club.  The door is closed. On it's outside printed out images of peoples characters in the club decorate the door.

Zoey laughed looking at the pictures and pointed to one, "Hey someone printed out my avatar from the VR game." She opened the door and looked inside.

"Hey where is mine ?" Looks somewhat bummed.

The door is locked but with a little bit of ooompf Zoey gets it open.

It is dark inside and the computers and goggles are all there.  No one is there at the moment.

Zoey flipped on the light switch and walked into the room.  "Your's is on this side of the door Allie.  But no Rory in here." 

She frowned with worry and dialed Jeremy's number again.

You get Jeremy his voice sounds weak, "Zoey that you ?"

"Jeremy?  Yeah its Zoey.  What's going, you okay?  Where's Rory?  We got a strange text from him a little while ago."

Jeremy, "No Zoey fraid not I am at the hospital. Rory ? what did it say ?"

"You're at the hospital? What happened Jeremy?  Um the text, Ill have to get back to you on it.  Listen, Im coming to see you now Ill be there soon."

Zoey looked to Allura and Hal, "Hey, Jeremys in the hospital.  Can you give me a ride?"

"Eh I ditch school all the time, but you Hal you should stay. Come on short stuff, got a helmet for you in the side car."

Allura plans to drive Zoey to the hospital.

"It's kind of expected of me too.  Hal, would you mind finding Sam and Susan and letting them know where we're going please?"

Hal nods, "Sure thing !" He heads off.

Allura and Zoey are seen cruising from the school on her motorcycle.
