Sara followed along, but could not help but look back.

Sara looked back and saw movement inside the interior of the tree house. Muffled voices of shouting and panic. The treehouse swayed with the movements of the kids inside, leaves falling from up high down to the ground and settled alongside the others.

Up ahead, Sara saw Jimmy ducked under a branch, converse sneakers stomping on piles of sticks and raked leaves and kicking through them as he ran. A dog barked from the side, a ferocious, deep bark as it ran out from its dog house, snapping at Sara as she cut through the neighbors  back yard

Sara barked back, but kept running.

Jimmy ran for a bit, out of breath before he ended up stopping behind a neighbor's swing set.

"I....think...we...got..away...." he panted as he sucked wind deep into his lungs.

The smell of someone's chimney smoke filled the air.  All around there were fallen autumn leaves. It looked like the neighbor--whomever it was--had recently put up some Halloween decorations in the backyard. A little skeleton sign that read 'Happy Halloween' , with a cartoon character on it was next to a large pumpkin.

"Easy," Sara proclaimed smugly, though she was pretty winded herself. She listened in, just in case someone was still chasing them. Or maybe someone would notice them here...

Sara listened in for a good long while, but didn't hear anything.



Jimmy put his ear on the ground to listen.

"This is the way the Indians do it. You know, like Geranimo, or like one of those Indian chiefs." he explained to Sara.

"I don't hear anything, do you think we go away?"

"I guess we did," Sara nodded, moving on. She looked at the house. "Do you know who lives here?"

Jimmy looked at the house. It was a two story structure and white. There was a shed in the backyard.

"Probably some old man." Jimmy said.

"Do you feel bad about what we did?" Jimmy asked Sara

OOC: Sara Rolls 4d10 Morality Roll with the following results

0 Successes: Sara's Morality rating changes from 7 to 6 - Jimmy's question makes Sara 'think' about the idea of what they just did. Sara must make an OOC comment or an in character dialogue explaining how she feels about the event and whether or not she feels guilty or remorseful. If not guilty or remorseful, how does she feel?

1+ Successes: The story continues with no effect.

"Huh?" Sara peered at the boy, an eyebrow raised. What kind of question was that? Besides, it was his idea. "Why would I? And who was in there, anyway?"

OOC: 10:52, Today: Sara rolled 3 successes using 4d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s ((6,9,9,8)).

Gave Sara a crooked smile that was a bit mischievous.


"The tree house? Heheheehe" Jimmy snickered.

"Those are the kids from Rodeo drive where I live." Jimmy said. "They are all kinds of having fun in that tree house. Just like kids like to do. Awww, I've seen it many, many times before. It's such a cool tree house and we have tons of fun in it. But, I though it'd be fun to also try to have a little bit of joke on them. Ha!"

For the first time, Sara looked almost impressed. "And you think they'll never know?"

"Naaaw, it’ll be alright" Jimmy assured Sara

"We were just having fun. Besides, I don’t think they saw us.”

"I'm not worried," Sara shrugged. "I thought you'd be worried. Since they know you."

"Hahahaha" Jimmy laughed.

"That was radical. Really far out. Did you hear that 'crack!' noise? It sounded like a big fart when the rock hit the tree house. It was like boing! boing! boing!! Hahahah!”

"They must've been very scared," Sara grinned. "So, what next?"

Sara and Jimmy could hear a sudden voice shout out.

'Who's there!!' It was coming from the area of the tree house or at least its direction since they were far away now





"Hahahaha. That's Pesky. He sounds all mad from us throwing rocks. " Jimmy laughed.

"Next. I dunno. Want to go off and smoke a cigarette?”

"Ew," Sara cringes, that thought holding no appeal. Her face smoothens out immediately though. "Who's Pesky?"

"Hahahaha." Jimmy forced a laugh, enjoying Sara's disgust at the idea of smoking.

"Pesky?  Oh he's just one of the Rodeo kid drive kids. He's part of the club they have in that tree house. I'm one of them too. But sometimes I get bored doing all of they're investigations. Edith is the leader of the Club. It doesn't have a name. They're trying to investigate all of those kids that disappeared on Main Street. ”

"Say, aren't you from Main Street. Yeah, you live there. Don't you?"

"Mhm," Sara nods. "Sure I do. Some cop was investigating it too I guess." She pauses, frowning. "Is Edith a blonde?" There was some blonde girl acting all suspicious, before... though her memory was a little hazy now.

"Blonde? Ha! No. She's a ginger? You know what that means?" asked.

"It means she has red hair?" Sara kept frowning.

"That's right!" asked. Jimmy affirmed. "And that means that, even though she's smart, we can still make fun of her!" He proclaimed, clearly happy to find a weakness worth pointing out.

"Ehh, we'll probably end up hanging out with them soon anyway." He admitted. "There's not much to do on the block and most kids at school are losers, always following the boring rules. That was fun though, huh?"

He asked, referring to the rock throwing

"Sure," Sara nodded, her frown clearing. Jimmy wasn't completely worthless. Speaking of... "Hey, do you know a kid named Shawn?"

"Never met 'em, but I heard of him." Jimmy affirmed. "He lives on your side of the street, like on Main Street. Why you asking me?  You should know him. I'm mostly with the kids on Rodeo drive. The ones we threw rocks at! Hahehehe." He laughed.

"I don't know him. I heard he was some kind of movie star. Like trying to be one of the kids in Goonies. Probably more like a L-O-S-E-R star! Hahehehehehe."
